    Working with Dotty on my new website has been such a positive experience. I came to her because I wanted a website that finally reflected who I am, my work and the direction my business is taking — and I'm genuinely delighted with the result. What I appreciated most about Dotty was not only her technical expertise, but her patience

  • DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY!

    DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY! ... he also sells couches on the side. He lied about the brand, lied about the condition and dropped off a dirty, beat up couch and ran off with $1000 and now will not return any messages.

  • Avoid them!

    We called D & F Plumbing because we have used them and trusted them for 40 years. We had lost hot water pressure in the kitchen sink. Randy came to the house, said yes, the pressure was low and that to fix it, we had to repipe the entire house to the tune of $25,000. He didn't do any troubleshooting and said repiping was the only option. When I mentioned that all the piping on the second floor was new, he pushed back and said he could replace the line from the hot water heater to the kitchen sink for $2000 and again pressured us to repipe the house. Again, he did no troubleshooting. We called a competent plumber who cleared the clog in less than 15 minutes for $180 and the hot water pressure in the sink is now glorious. I understand the D & F is under new management, full of hustle and complete up-selling. So grateful that my gut was telling me that I was being scammed. Avoid them at all costs, pun intended.
