I'm so grateful I reached out to Doug. We had an unpleasant smell coming from a bathroom sink and had already hired another plumber to take a look. That plumber told us the issue was likely due to our drains not being properly vented and that fixing it could involve breaking into walls and cost somewhere in the $4,000-$10,000 range. I sent Doug a message on Yelp, and he responded quickly with what turned out to be the correct diagnosis: biofilm buildup in the sink's overflow area. Even more impressive, he told me it was something I could probably fix myself. He offered to talk with me by phone and patiently explained what was going on, which I really appreciated because I honestly didn't even understand how that part of the sink worked. In the end, I was able to fix the problem myself with a flexible brush and a little bleach- less than $10 total. Doug could easily have come out and charged me, but instead he gave me honest, expert advice and helped me avoid a huge unnecessary expense. That kind of integrity is rare, and I'll absolutely be calling him first for any plumbing issues in the future. read more

Doug is the best, great communication and installed a new regulator the right way. Will be calling him for all plumbing problems. read more

It turns out that all these 5 star reviews were right! Our Bradford White water heater was leaking despite being less than 2 years old. Doug was able to come and take a look the day we reached out to him. He explained what was wrong (the tank had failed) and how he could tell. He reassured us that it was not an emergency, but it had to be replaced. The next day he took care of the warranty replacement through the wholesaler, and installed the new heater for a very competitive price. Doug is courteous, professional, and just a very smart and pleasant person. He is definitely our plumber from now on! read more

Wish I could give him 10 stars. I called because I was interested in installing a thermal expansion tank on our water heater. He was straightforward and honest in saying that we really didn't need it. I'll admit I'm a bit of a worrier so I asked him for a quote anyway. He gave a reasonable quote, came by the next day, brought everything, installed it, had a nice conversation. 10/10. Besides the installation itself, it's about honesty. He's an expert, he's honest, real great guy. I've already put him on my short list to contact the next time we have an issue. read more

Kuttruff is the best! He just fixes things. He will tell us when we need a $7 part vs a new garbage disposal unit. Our entire family has been using him for years. read more

Had him do a minor repair on my toilet inlet valve. He is VERY experienced & was able to resolve the issue very quickly. I'll definitely use him again if any future plumbing repairs are needed. Highly recommended. read more

Prompt. Fair. Honest. Good quality work. Ready to take care of it all right then and there. Much appreciated.

His first and second plumbing services were not bad as expected and even his charge were high. For recent services, I found he did not replace bad/problem parts with the new parts which normal plumbers should do (no doubt right). So a couple of days later after his service, you noticed the problems were still there and not really fixed so you needed to call him back again and he would still charge you for changing his used/defective parts he replaced at the first place at the beginning with new parts (hopefully). I am really still unbelievable this things happened to me more than once to make me realize the issues. If you have the same doubts about his services, I only can say that you are not the only one. read more

Doug just finished finishing an issue in our shower. We originally called one of those plumbing companies that does a lot of great marketing. They came in, didn't even bother opening up the trim and sold us a story about how we needed to get all of this work done, and they would give us a discounted price in the thousands of dollars. We got Doug's information from a friend who's used him, contacted him and he was able to come the same day. He opened up the trim, saw that there was an issue with a pressure balancing valve, and was able to locate a replacement part the next day. He came back in the evening and fixed it. Shower is as good as it ever was, and the total cost was a fraction of what the other company quoted us. read more

Doug is nice, affordable and does great work. He was able to replace my tub spout with diverter right before the holidays when no other plumber was available. Thank you! read more

Honest plumber. Did a good job fixing something other plumber said couldn't be fixed and needed to be replaced. Reasonable price. Nice guy.

Doug replaced an air gap for me that had been damaged by previous installer causing it to spout water. The whole process was smooth. He returned my call and came when he said he would. He was respectful of the home and the price seemed reasonable. I will call him for future plumbing needs! read more

We have very old plumbing, and Doug was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and fixed everything with the correct parts in one quick session. His estimate before coming was true to the actual cost- it's so hard to find people who are skilled, honest and fair. Definitely recommend. Thank you Doug! read more

Doug is honest, fair, skilled, and reliable. Sadly, I had lost his information and with a recent plumbing problem, took bids from other plumbers. The bids ranged from $800-$1200 with tile and stucco cutting involved. Anticipating a bathroom remodel soon, I waited. However, doing without the shower was going to be difficult with guests on the way, so I started a new search for a plumber. Happily, I found Kuttruff Plumbing again. Doug knew about my other bids, came out the same day that I called, and fixed my shower in 15 minutes for $189. This guy is "old school" with the kind of integrity you unfortunately don't see often. read more

Doug is one of the best plumbers I know! He comes promptly to our rescue and his fees are so reasonable!

Had a leaky shower head. Tried fixing it myself and broke the cartridge off. I called Kuttruff plumbing and within one hour on a Saturday I had my issue fixed at a fair price. Strongly recommend. read more

Doug was willing to come out on a Sunday night to help with a very leaky shower. He was able to turn off the water to the shower without affecting the rest of the house, something that I couldn't do with the tools I had. I ordered the part via a plumbing supply store back east using photos I took when taking the fixture off. When the part came, Doug came back out and installed the cartridge in about 20 minutes. Works like a gem. He was clean, professional, understated, and above all, competent. With over 45 years working at his craft, he's seen everything and I can't recommend him highly enough whenever you have a plumbing issue. Thank you Doug! read more

I was referred to Doug by a friend who has utilized and recommended his services, and I have since had him come by for numerous repairs.

I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber! read more

I look forward to using Kuttruff Plumbing again for my future plumbing needs. read more

8:45pm after a long day, and about to put all our kids down to sleep and we hear this loud steam/hissing sound coming from inside our water heater closet. Open the door and water is spewing/leaking out. I close the valve and give Doug a call hoping that he is available at this hour (he serviced our shower over 3 years ago and did an excellent job). Doug came within 20 minutes, diagnosed the problem, fixed/replaced the parts that were leaking, cleaned up all the water that had leaked out on the bottom, and he had our water heater up and running in about 30 minutes! So happy. Really nice guy, prompt, professional (took precaution/masked during COVID), and provided excellent service once again. So glad we called Doug. Lifesaver for our family! read more

Easy to communicate with. Flexible schedule so I was able to book for the next day. Plumber worked quickly. Very satisfied with the work done. read more

This is our second time having Doug help us with our plumbing needs. Today's issue was to unclog a bathroom sink and fix a wobbly toilet. He was able to come today (I called around 9am) and was done with the whole visit in less than an hour. He is super nice and focuses on the job. We will reach out to him any time we have plumbing needs. His pricing is very reasonable. Just know he only takes cash or check. read more

I don't know what else to say except that Mr. Kuttruff was there in my time of need and I truly appreciate him for that. He is straight to the point, and very fair. I was happy to have him help me. I had gotten a few calls from other agencies, but for some reason I really felt like I wanted to go with him, and I made the right choice. I did read some of the negative reviews and do you want to point out that his demeanor is not peppy, and I could see how he appears to be grumpy, but to be honest, that is what made me like him, because I felt like he was not going to try to upsell me or persuade me in any way. Initially we thought that the cost to be $125 however, when we found out the problem with much more serious, he was honest and told me I may need to have another company come out. In the end, he actually said he would give it a try, and it worked! I really thought that his ultimate price is reasonable, and he was really nice. Thanks so much for going above and beyond for me! read more

My husband finally decided to change the water filter under the kitchen sink. He ended up breaking the handle off the 1/4 cold water valve and water started spraying out of the valve. I first called my regular plumber, who has been our plumber for 23 years. He said he wasn't doing any emergency calls during the pandemic. I checked nextdoor and searched plumbers and Kuttruff's Plumbing had very high reviews from neighbor's on nextdoor. He came to our rescue quickly and fixed the leak fast and installed the new water filter. His after hour rates were reasonable. He didn't ask for hazard pay. Thank goodness we are all healthy. I pray nothing else falls apart in our house during this pandemic. Doug Kuttruff was a real life saver. Going forward he is going to be our new plumber. read more

Kuttruff is our GoTo plumber. He fixes what is wrong not upgrades and adds on to his work. He is one of the best plumbers if you want your plumbing fixed, first time, every time. He just finished replacing some washers in old fixtures, opened a water line and replaced a toilet flush handle. At no time did he suggest that we tear out the wall, tear out the pipes to put new faucets that don't stay repaired, and don't last. He shows up, on time and calls before. Service is what you get. read more

Mr Kuttruff has demonstrated all the good qualities you would hope for in his service. He has responded timely on calls, with a prompt reply and on-time arrival. He comes prepared to deal with repairs quickly, and his charges are very reasonable. We certainly recommend him based on our own experience over a number of years. read more

Quickly fixed a leak under my sick and two toilets that had flushing problems!

Fast and professional! Same day service was very much appreciated. Highly recommend!

To the rescue again. Had a weird issue with a dishwasher line, came and set up a separate valve to independently control the flow until we can get our dishwasher unit replaced. Saved the day so we can have hot water to the sink, while cutting off flow to the dishwasher. Don't hesitate to use Kuttruff, great and quick service. read more

We had several plumbing issues, from leaky faucets to poor water flow. We have a VERY old house so it's difficult to repair most of the plumbing. Previous plumbers had quoted us thousands of dollars to fix these problems. After stalling for a year, we were referred to Doug Kuttruff from a reputable local plumbing supply store. Doug called back within 10 minutes of leaving a message. Offered a free consult. He showed up 40 minutes later, and this was a Saturday. Doug got to work right away. He not only fixed the 2 issues we had, but he took care of a few other items. Very easy to work with and very affordable. Highly, highly recommend him for anyone with plumbing needs. Can't say enough. read more

Kuttruff Plumbing - Fixed this 1930s faucet. - Plumbing Near Me

If you're looking for a reliable, professional, reasonably priced plumber, Doug is your guy. I've been calling him periodically for the past several years. He's very responsive, and always does a clean and thorough job. I've never had to call him back because something failed after he fixed it. On one occasion I asked him if he could do a particular job, and because he's such an honest person, he told me he couldn't do it and to find someone else. I think the average plumber might have said "Yes", not having any idea how to provide the service, knowing darn well that he was going to "wing it". That's not Doug. If he knows, he'll do it. If he doesn't, he won't. These days an honest, reliable, competent, and professional contractor is hard to find. Late last night, my shower valve failed. It was about 10 o'clock. I got a hold of him and not only did he have the part, but he came out right away. Everything was fixed to perfection - clean and complete. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend Kuttruff Plumbing! read more

I wanted to pop on here and leave a glowing review for Doug of Kuttruff Plumbing! We came back from a two week vacation in Europe to discover the toilet in the master (e.g. the one you use the most) was broken and leaking from both sides of the tank! After being on a plane 11 hours and having been up for over 21 hours, the last thing I wanted to do was fight my dang toilet! So I got on Yelp & found Doug. He was super quick to respond to my estimate request on a Friday night at 9 pm! He gave me very accurate information on the quote where others would not. He gave me a specific detailed 2 hour window of time for the service, which I appreciated very much. He arrived early in the time frame, which was nice, He was courteous, clean, professional and amiable. He fixed the main problem I called him out for (leaks from the tank) as well as another problem we were having without my asking him to, and even replaced some additional parts as well to keep our crown in tip top shape. I would definitely use Doug again and recommend him highly! read more

Doug Kuttruff is a great plumber. We had an emergency plumbing situation at our house on a Sunday and he literally showed up in 15 minutes. An hour later he had fixed the problem to perfection and charged us an extremely reasonable amount (I thought it would be much much more under the circumstances). I would recommend Kuttruff plumbing without hesitation or reservation. read more
