Dean is incredibly helpful! We called about a water leak, and he took the time to diagnose the issue over the phone at no charge. Even though we didn't end up using his service as we decided to DIY, his honesty and willingness to help really impressed us. We'll definitely be calling Dean the next time we have a plumbing issue.

I had a very small issue. I gave Dean a call, and he was at my house in 10 min. Problem was fixed in 10 min. He remembered things we talked about a year ago, and we reminisced a bit. This guy is a real gentleman! See you next summer Dean, for replacing some outdoor faucets! read more

Dean himself answered the call and came promptly! He fixed the problem - an old leaky kitchen faucet and valves - the very same day, even though he had to haul from Shoreline to south Seattle. Dean is an old school plumber who's wisely decided to focus on the smaller but still insanely necessary repairs which crop up for homeowners all.the.time. Although the visit wasn't cheap, I figured by the time I bought a *nice* new faucet and valves, ran to Lowes twenty times, busted my knuckles and lost my mind, it was money totally well spent. Thank you, Dean! read more

Water was pouring into the street at the meter and the tech talked me through the process of getting it turned off. He even gave me a reference for some plumbers in my city as he was in the next city over. Thank you so much for taking care of a problem that wasn't yours and calming us down immensely. read more

Dean totally saved our day! My family and I had JUST moved into our new house and we were dealing with a water heater that wasn't working correctly. A week prior to our move, my family had hired a water heater replacement company to swap out the old tank with a brand new one. On the night of our move in I discovered that we weren't getting hot water, so I contacted the water heater installing company to ask if they could do something. The installing plumber came out and they determined it was an electrical problem but it was well out of their scope of ability. I called Dean this morning to discuss this hot water heater issue and by early afternoon he had come out to assess the problem. He was very methodical in trying to pinpoint the origin of the electrical problem, and I appreciated him being a good communicator in relaying his thought process and the rationale for his decisions. Dean determined that the previous owner of the house had done some lousy DIY electrical work which was why the water heater was only getting partial power (only 110v instead of the necessary 220v). Dean was able to fix their wiring mistake by swapping out the bad double breaker with a new quad-breaker, and then this re-wiring was able to get hot water going in the house again. This is totally amazing as the rats nest of wires in our electrical panel just made the problem seem extra daunting. I'd have no hesitation in hiring Dean again. He's definitely a seasoned pro in his work and it shows. Give him a call! read more

Dean was able to come out within an hour to fix our clogged garbage disposal. The price was reasonable and he gave tips on how to prevent it from happening again. We would definitely hire again! read more

Broken limb damaged power line from pole to house. We continued to have power to some but not all circuits in house. Spoke to Dean directly, he patiently troubleshooted the potential problem. By the time he'd narrowed down the potential issue correctly (one of two lines to the house had snapped) the Seattle City Light rep was at the door. Dean was patient, kind and extremely helpful. Called him back and issue was something requiring an elevated electrical contractor for which he recommended Mirsky Electric. Can't thank him enough for steering me toward resolution. Will be calling Dean first from now on for home repair issues above my skill set. So grateful for his help! read more

Dean is absolutely excellent. Had a big electrical emergency the day after Christmas and he was able to help immediately. Thank you so much Dean! read more

Dean was great! He responded quickly, asked the right questions and showed up within a couple of hours, and solved my problem. Very fair pricing. I recommend him enthusiastically. read more

From the moment I reached out to Dean, I could tell right away that he was a no nonsense, honest, and most importantly, fair person. I called Dean inquiring about my living room heater, I told him it was a baseboard heater and that just a few days ago it had stopped working, then worked again, then stopped working yet again. Within a couple of minutes, and after Dean had told me to send him some pictures, he diagnosed the problem almost immediately, quoted me on the phone and told me he could come to fix the problem on the same day. As many of the other reviewers have said, Dean is prompt, honest, straightforward and will tell you upfront if he can do the job or not. He is very responsive, takes pride in his work, and will not try any funny business. Truly a God-send. Thank you and God bless. I will be referring my friends to Dean's Home Repair for sure. read more

Dean was incredibly prompt in returning my yelp request for a quote. Called me and we walked through the issue I was seeing. It wasn't one he specialized in, but he was able to help accurately diagnose my issue and suggest a fix, as well as recommend contractor he trusted if I couldn't fix it myself. Came across as very straightforward and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. Would work with Dean again for sure. read more

If you need plumbing or electrical repair done, call Dean. Seriously, he's the best I've ever worked with. The guy's super trustworthy - if he can't fix it, he'll tell you straight up. He's very responsive. And he goes above and beyond, which is why he's my go-to from now on. I will NOT call anyone else. Trust me - you won't regret giving Dean a ring. read more

I wasn't sure if someone with over 250 five star reviews was too good to be true but I had a five star experience myself! Dean responded to my request for service quickly and was able to diagnose and get our electrical problem fixed immediately, all for a reasonable price. 100% will use Dean in the future with electrical or plumbing issues. read more

I called and Dean actually answered the phone himself! He arrived on time and he was able to replace my outdoor GFCI outlet very efficiently. He was knowledgeable and polite. I will call him again for future jobs. read more

Dean made this repair so easy and eased my worry! He asked a bunch of questions on the phone and quickly and accurately diagnosed the issue. He arrived on time, had everything he needed and was done in slightly less than an hour! Drain working, disposal replaced, and he completely cleaned up after. On top of it all he is a very nice man! Prices were reasonable and exactly as he stated in the phone. read more

I haven't had a service done by Dean, this is why I will come back to him for future projects! My unit was out of electricity and I sent out a request to 5 places. Dean was able to respond to me fast, and he took my call even when he has some personal things going on. I told him what we did, and he was able to diagnose it and told me what to do. While he couldn't come over to help, he suggested a different contact to help me out. He didn't need to help me, but he did for free of charge. I hope things go well Dean, and I will reach out for future projects! read more

When I discovered water accumulating in the cabinet under my bathroom sink, of course I reached out to Dean. He made contact very promptly, and as before, he was extremely helpful over the phone, guiding me through determining whether it was a problem I could solve myself. Dean's communication skills are truly fantastic; he was easily able to walk me through some troubleshooting even though I don't know a packing nut from a hole in the ground. We figured out over the phone that we did indeed have a broken part, and scheduled a repair for the very next day. Dean arrived right on time and got straight to work. He was courteous, friendly, and conscientious about keeping things tidy. He walked my spouse through everything he was doing, and had the repair done quickly. Dean even noticed a minor issue with our furnace and fixed it, too, as he was passing through. I'm not saying I want more plumbing problems in my future, but if anything arises, I'm sure glad know who to call. A+++, 13/10, would (and do) definitely recommend. Thanks, Dean! read more

Dean does it again! I had an emergent electrical issue and texted Dean some photos of the problem area. He phoned me shortly thereafter to ask a few basic questions and was able to come out same day. Once he arrived, he immediately went to work and was prepared with all the required materials to fix the problem within a short period of time. My bill was very reasonable and it was another incredibly satisfying experience with Dean. When you call Dean's Dean is who you get, not some random individual with questionable credentials, and it is comforting to know that I'm always in such great hands for home repairs. read more

Dean was very quick to respond (he picked up the phone himself) and was able to provide specific quotes for an electrical check up that I had. He had both availability for weekend (same-day, but slightly higher priced on weekend due to normal day off) and weekday. The issue was resolved in just an hour. I know the price I paid (especially for same day on a weekend almost with problem solved within an hour/two of calling) may be steep, but given I placed high priority for knowledgeable and reliable contractor (he guarantees he can solve my electrical problem; if not, he won't charge any!) and for my tenants' experience (not having electricity in bedroom & bathroom), he was worth what I paid for. Would definitely consider reaching out to Dean again for any future emergency needs! read more

Dean was very kind to troubleshoot our problem over the phone and the explanation seems to make perfect sense. He was also very flexible and quick to respond to our request. I'd recommend this company with all good vibes. read more

Found Dean on Yelp and reached out to him for an after-hours plumbing issue. He walked through the issue with me on the phone, quoted me the charge for the visit and arrived at my door 30 minutes later. So happy to have found him - the reviews say it all: honest, fair, skilled. I will definitely use him again if the need arises. read more

I cannot say more good of Dean. Yesterday my water heater stopped heating any water, then it became my highest priority task to get hot water for my wife and my kid. The water heater was made by Bradford White 11 years ago, it's 65 Gal, tall and wide. I quoted maybe 6 plumbers about this. They all told me I need to replace the water heater, quoted me from $1,500 to $1,800. Worse thing is the water heater is blocked by a black sewer pipe, I need to remove the pipe then move out the old heater and install the new one. After noticing this, the quote went up dramatically. Then I decided to find someone to repair it. Luckily I found Dean's page by chance this noon, I made a phone call to him. Dean asked few questions and gave me a reasonable quote. He also told me, if he didn't got the water heater work, he won't charge me a single cent. He arrived in the same afternoon, soon found the problem is not about the water heater at all, it's about the power wire connection to the heater was badly done, the wire was burnt thus the heater was down. Please check out the picture of the wire, I feel so lucky it didn't cause a fire. Dean cuts it off and redone the wire connection, power on, then the heater starts to work! Amazing! And he told me a lot of knowledge about water heater, electricity. He's not only a good plumber but also a very proficient electrician. Lucky me! Dean's nice, punctual, he does high quality job! Hiring him is the best decision I made in the recent weeks. My only regret is I tried to negotiate on the quote number when I was talking with him the first time on the phone. Just accept his quote, he definitely worth it, even more. Dean will be my go-to plumber and electrician, and I would recommend him to every friend of mine. Well done, Dean! Thank you very much! read more

Dean helped me complete troubleshooting an electrical issue over the phone on a weekend. He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I would highly recommend Dean's exemplary service to everyone. read more

Dean is one of the most helpful and upfront service people I have ever encountered. He was prompt to pick up the phone and gave a clear explanation on the possible issue, and upfront pricing estimate. He clearly laid out how he works for a flat fee, and I appreciated that very much over getting charged by the hour. I found him to be very helpful, knowledge in issues with older houses around the neighborhood, and really appreciated his kind demeanor, along with providing top quality service. I would definitely use him in future. read more

FWIW I just did hire Dean again. This time to install a couple of Kasa 3-way smart switches to give me some automated control of lights. Yes, I likely could've installed them myself but I was happy to have Dean out to do it knowing it was going to be done right the first time by a pro. Dean is a pleasure to talk to and the smart switches work great. read more

Dean is such a savior. He came such short notice to my house to fix an electric repair situation. He is prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. He educates the customer on why the issue occured in the first place and repairs it in such a timely fashion. I've had really bad issues with contractors before but Dean has really come through.

Meeting Dean, accessing his expertise, friendly manner, fair pricing and helpful other company references make him a 10 star review from us. After a home inspection suggested we replace our very old water heater, I went straight to Yelp. Seeing the incredible number of 5 star reviews I called Dean. He was everything all those 5 stars mean. He responded very quickly, came out and confirmed the replacement was not premature. The next day he installed a beautiful new water heater. I got excited and pulled out the list of other stuff from the inspector. Unfortunately, Dean couldn't add those to his workload, but referred us to companies to interview that he trusted. We've hired them now too. Want the best, Call Dean! read more

The circuits in our garage were not working properly, the GFCI kept tripping. I called Dean and he was able to come out that afternoon. He was here for around an hour, diagnosed the issue and fixed it. The old GFCI was on its last legs, but had been cross-wired so he fixed a safety issue at the same time. I'd recommend Dean to anyone. read more

Dean came quickly and resolved our electrical issue and gave good advice on how to deal with it in the future. It was slightly more expensive than we expected but similar to other quotes that we received so we are happy with the outcome. read more

On one whole side of our house, the outlets were not working. I tried the simple stuff and flipped all the circuit breakers but the power didn't come back on. In the morning, we contacted Dean around 7 on Christmas Eve and he was out at our house by 11am. He quickly found the faulty outlet, replaced it, gave a detailed explanation of what was wrong and how to avoid it in the future. He was wonderfully kind and courteous (and great with our dog). Highly recommend! read more

Excellent at every step. Dean answered the phone himself on a Sunday evening, came out on a Monday (which worked fine for us). Friendly, professional, helpful, and very careful to follow COVID precautions. Fixed the problem in under an hour and explained what happened (dead circuit due to a burned out GFI - in our case the house was wired in an unusual way that made troubleshooting a challenge) and how to avoid it in the future. Would definitely call on Dean again and recommend him highly! read more

My water heater was leaking and I needed it replaced quickly. Gave Dean a call in the morning and he answered just like he advertises. He was out to my house within a couple hours to give a quote. Could have done the quote by sending pictures as well, but he offered to drive over to give a more accurate quote. I agreed on the price and he got the replacement water heater installed that day. I will say it ended up being more expensive than I was expecting, but also put in a nicer Rheem model than what is available at Home Depot. Dean also does not cut any corners with using cheaper materials for all the hook ups and connections. I think he told me he's been doing this for ~45 years and it showed with his knowledge. Definitely suggest giving Dean a call if you want the job done right. read more

Dean was referred by a local hardware store. My hot water heater failed and was leaking in our utility room. I contacted Dean on a Thursday and he installed a new water heater on a Friday. His service was fast, friendly and informative. I look forward to working with Dean in the future. read more
