I maintain a tower in downtown Portland. I heard the residents talking about how good these guys are. I had no idea if they did commercial buildings.so I thought I would give them a shot. I had a problem with a whole floor getting nothing but hot water. So I called and was told a time that day. The tech showed up. Real nice guy name Wayne. We went in to the units. Checked them out. Then he went in to our boiler room. He fixed some things. And took care of the problem in a hour. Then I called them again for a leak. He found it. And it was hard to find one. A pin hole leak behind the Sheetrock in

Asked DeTemople to install a bathroom faucet. The faucet was missing one part, and instead of getting the needed part they did a partial install that did not work and charged me over $700 to install it. I called to complain and they said they would have management get back to me, and they never called back. DeTemple is a rip off, not to be trusted and do shoddy work.

Had a heating emergency and was referred to Detemple since my usual heating company no longer works on boiler systems.
The person taking the call was quick to go over fees, including drive time, and stated that they needed my credit card number before service could be scheduled.
10 days later and no call back. I'm glad it hasn't been too cold out! It's a busy time for heating companies but transparent communication is appreciated by consumers. I would have rather heard that they were unavailable or unavailable for x number of days or weeks like I heard from many other companies

Joe was a terrific help. After our sink installation went off-course because of a mistake I made, he came back the same day to get us set up. We really rely on that sink, so having it back in action so quickly was awesome. Great service!

Having issues with my furnace and scheduled an appointment with Detemple who we have used for years. They called before my appointment and diagnosed and fixed over the phone. Saved me from having to pay for a service call. Wonderful company and could not more highly recommend.

Had a burst pipe after our winter storm which leaked into my basement. Todd from DeTemple came out that day with in a few hours replaced the pipe and a new shut off valve. Price was reasonable, he was good at explaining everything he did what caused the issue and showed me the parts he replaced and the shut off valve. He had to crawl under my extremely muddy and wet deck and remained cheerful. He also followed Covid protocol and masked up. I was extremely satisfied with the plumber ,the service and the company. Would definitely recommend.

I contracted with DeTemple for a bathroom remodel. I paid the contract price and then they continued to send me bills for work that was clearly within the scope of work included in the contract price. The plumber who completed most of the work was surly and complained constantly. I would not use this company again.

We called Detemple because we thought our hot water tank was leaking that they had installed it 2 years ago- but when Todd came he said it was our furnace- big surprise since it was working great! So the next day they sent Randy to fix the furnace leak but after an hour and a half Randy said he couldn't fix it and he would have someone else come. So as of Friday morning we had no heat and even after several calls to Detemple no one gets back to us!! NO HEAT ALL WEEKEND!! Wouldn't be so frustrating if they didn't take your credit card number before they make a service call!!AND WE

Was charged over $150 more than the average rate for a sewer scope, including travel time to and from my home and $25 for a flash drive. Technician was slow and rude, handed the bill out of the window and drove off before even being able to ask questions. Called to complain and no one would speak to me. Left a voicemail and never heard back from anyone. Would give 0 stars if possible.

Called and left a message for De Temple on Tuesday night regarding our laundry sink downstairs had mud coming up through it and we thought a pipe was broken under our house. They promptly called us back Wednesday morning at 7 am and set up an appointment for noon to be at our house. Glen arrived on time and fixed the problem at a reasonable price. It was lint from shop towels we wash that had plugged up our lines and he told us a simple trick with nylon to avoid this problem. I have used their service in the past and am always pleased with their service. I would recommend them to anyone.

These guys charged for over an hour drive time from Beaverton to do a 15 min job. I am in the NE and they are also located in the NE!
Drive time?!? I don't get paid to drive to my job. And, paying for driving time was not stated on the phone when I talked to them.
They also charged me for parts they never used. Rip off!!
