On 12/30/2025 Popi Time had this to say:
Our family woke up the morning of 12/30/2025 to all toilets, bathtubs and showers backed up from our septic system. Gave Don and his company a call from a google search at 06:45 and Josh showed up at my residence about 7:15ish...Totally expecting just to drain a septic tank, he ran into a slew of issues which he step up to the plate to fix and make sure it was done right. Having to replace a burned out pump, rewiring a botched previous job which was unsafe for my family, and I'm sure there are a couple of other things I'm failing to mention. If I could give this company 10 stars I would. They really took care of us, kind and descent, and extremely professional. You want a job done right, call this company. For Josh: you are one of the most professional and best guys I have ever had do any work for me in my lifetime and that is saying something. Wish you all the best to your company in future business endeavors.

On 12/21/2025 Micki Thomas had this to say:
When you have problems with your septic system call Don Thomas Construction. I called and spoke with him about the problem. He came gave me a quote and said he could do it for me. Him and his crew were done in one day start to finish.

On 12/20/2025 Laura Banderob had this to say:
Don Thomas Construction was extremely professional and truly went above and beyond. They came out the week before Christmas to fix an emergency plumbing issue, which alone speaks volumes about their dedication and reliability. Their pricing was significantly lower than competitors, the work was completed quickly, and most importantly, it was done right. Don will absolutely be my go-to for any future construction, plumbing, or other services he offers. If more than five stars were available, he’d get every single one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+

On 12/16/2025 Blake Thomas had this to say:
Josh came out at 7 am in 13 degree weather with a great attitude and ready to go. He did an outstanding job quickly. I was able to make it to wok on time. Fantastic. Would highly recommend.
