Jeff saved the day when our sump pump was broken. He answered his phone at 9pm, was at our door within 15 min and evaluated the issue. He was back the next day and fixed the problem within just a few minutes. Super nice guy and excellent service!

I had called Szabo Plumbing to repair a leaky toilet wax ring on a tenants apartment and was quoted $275, which I considered fair, considering a licensed plumber and fully stocked truck would have to drive there and do the repair. What I didn't consider fair was when the shut off valve didn't work, they charged me an additional $200 to put a new one on. Now I understand if I called them out for just that repair, $200 may be reasonable, but they were already on site for the other repair.
Not to mention they never contacted for any additional approval prior to replacing it, just a text message from the plumber onsite stating the new total would be $475.
I contacted Wade, to discuss the upcharge and was told I actually recieved a discount as they normally charge $250.00 per valve, but he would talk to Kevin himself and see if anything could be done.
As I was away on vacation, I told him I would contact him in A week when we returned.....well, called him twice since returning, NO CALL BACKS.
I decided to check my Credit card, and now see, they not only charged me the $475, plus an additional $14.75, not sure for what reason, as I never received an itemized invoice e-mailed as promised.
I've always considered them fair in past work they had done for me, but as of now, have lost confidence in Szabo Plumbing and will no longer use them, nor recemmend them to friends and family

UPDATE: Upon  Kevin being made aware of this situation , he personnally reached out to me, apologized for the error, and made things right. I will continue to recemmend them and use them as a first choice for my future plumbing needs.
It just shows he is truely compassionate about customer satisfaction, THANK YOU AGAIN KEVIN FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY DAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Well we woke up to black water in our kitchen and laundry room sinks. Not fun. Had to have sinks rodded out before so not too surprised. I also had a new garbage disposal that my husband said he would install over a year ago and never did. So we called these guys and mentioned the disposal as well. They arrived on time and put in my disposal and rodded out the sink in laundry room. The disposal took a little time but was not tricky to them as they said it was easy. Sink took only about five minutes. I was happy everything was finished and clean, only thing is the bill was over $450. Yikes I did not expect that considering I purchased the garbage disposal myself. Maybe that is normal but we always only paid about $125 or less for the sink issue.

Juan came out in 90 minutes for a completely stopped up shower drain. He was the second opinion after another plumber refused to so much as touch the system with a rod without making a $1200 and 5-hour repair to our (admittedly awful) overflow system.

Juan got the job done in 15 minutes. I'm probably calling him back to make some other nagging fixes to the tub.

Called Roc's Plumbing to see if they could replace my old green toilet's chain and flapper. Roc said it would be about $125 and they would replace the assembly. So Michael comes out and looks at the toilet and says right away he recommends replacing the toilet. He never even tried to flush the toilet to see what was working and what wasn't!! He says that he could replace the parts, but then something else could go wrong, just so I know. I asked if he felt comfortable doing the job and again he pushed for the new toilet. I remarked that was not an option, I just wanted the chain and flapper replaced. He continued to state that something could go wrong, like the toilet leaking. I stated that people replace this all the time, and don't rip out the whole toilet for $25 in parts! He asks if I want it fixed, and I replied that it doesn't seem like you can do the job. I called Roc and told him what happened. He said he would talk to Michael to see what kind of toilet I had. I waited over an hour and finally called Roc back again, and he said oh I have been busy and was going to call you back and states that Michael preferred to replace the toilet because they can't guarantee everything will go ok to repair it. Said thanks for not getting back to me, on top of your lousy repairman.
There are plenty of plumbers out there looking to repair instead of covering their butt and going with replacing something that the customer doesn't want or can't afford!!!

We contacted Specialty because of the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed.  Kevin was able to come out and replace our sump pump seamlessly.  Very nice guy, prompt and fair prices.   We will save Kevin's number anytime we need a plumber and will refer him to our friends. Thanks again!

When my husband left on a 3 week business trip, I jokingly said I hope nothing breaks while you're gone. Five days later the sump pump goes out ...after asking if anyone I know can recommend a plumber...I hopped on yelp and found Dunbar Plumbing...I called them Monday at 7:30, my sumo pump was installed and I was back in business by 10:45!! Mr. Dunbar explained what I needed, sent pictures, and even offered to send me an estimate for replacing my water heater...I am beyond happy!!! I will recommend them to anybody who asks!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting us up and running so quickly!!!

Don Mathieu and his son just left and I didn't want to wait another minute to write this review!   After reaching out to him this morning as we suddenly realized we had no hot water from our 10+ years old heater, to a newly-installed water heater by 2pm, our experience with Don was outstanding every step of the way. His responsiveness was great (even to all our questions), with a comprehensive, no-suprises quote, and fair price.  And the workmanship was excellent!  

D E Mathieu gets our two-thumbs-up recommendation, for sure!

Joe saved us at Salon Neapolitan!! Being a hair salon, it is extremely important to have hot water. Bad stuff happens on a weekend or at night (like a broken hot water heater)-I called Joe at 10:00 pm at night and he answered himself. I called him based on his 5 star Yelp reviews and because the other big name plumbers would not answer their phones. Joe totally saved the day by showing up for us early in the morning with his cheery and professional crew of guys, removed and replaced the heater and had us back in business and ready to roll before the start of our busy day ahead.  What a great guy and I love small business success stories as I am in Business for myself, as well. Thanks, Joe at Boss Plumbing!

woke up Saturday morning to my drains not working. I reached out to Gino at Excellent plumbing. He was quick to respond and was at my house a few hours later. took care of my issues and gave me a few options to help it from happening again. charged me less than the original quote what more could you ask for. definitely going to keep his number for any future plumbing issues

This company wasted a good 3 hours out my day. I spoke with the manager the day before and he gave us worst case best case scenarios to our sewer problem. We had our main sewer line rodded out twice before and each time would provide a temporary fix and later start backing up again. They explained the only way to locate the problem was to do a camera inspection. Once they did that they would be able to tell us exactly where and what the problem was. We went ahead and paid the money for the camera inspection but the camera wouldnt go past 30 ft. They end up just putting a device on a rod and seeing how far it went and marking lines on our ground. Then they said it would be 4500 dollars to dig up and replace the line. I asked how do you know the line needs to be replaced? His answer was because the rod stopped here. How stupid does that sound. Just because the rod stopped there doesn't mean the pipes need to be replaced at that location. The truth is without the camera inspection they are just as clueless as we were. To try to charge someone 4500.00 for a process of elimination is crazy. I would never do business with them again nor do i recommend anyone els doing business with them period. You are a professional and if you cant tell me what the problem is why would i pay you for your services. Thats like calling a cable repair guy and after he gets done, him saying you have a problem with your cable service. Are you retarded? I knew that before i called you. You are suppose to be telling me what the problem is not that i definitely have a sewer problem.

Ralph recently handles two jobs for me at a rental unit in the city.  He did a great job, showed up on time and communicated the issues to me.  Couldn't ask for anything more and will definitely use Ralph again in the future.

Spending money on replacing appliances is never pleasant. However, Victor at Hinsdale Plumbing made it an easy, painless and an informative experience. He replaced our 75 gallon water heater. From the moment when we called him for a quote to the point when he left after finishing the installation, he was very communicative, professional and credible. He educated us on the whole process and provided us with a good quote with no nickel and dime upgrades. A single quote that never changed. He came on time and did the work with minimal asks. The workmanship looks great, the warranty is comforting and the fact that is he is very responsive makes me feel good about the whole process. I will use Victor for any of my future needs and whole heartedly recommend him for any plumbing needs.

Paul and his crew were quick, clean and reasonably priced.  I really have had bad experiences with plumbers, usually they're condescending and aggressive. Never have I experienced that with the two times I've had to use Glennon plumbing in these very old house of mine.  Seriously use them, the best!  Thanks Paul!!

Great service.  You can count on these guys to solve the problem, pretty quickly and at a fair price.  I definately recommend.

I was going to start out my review with These guys are the best, but see that someone already beat me to it. It's true though. They are!

We moved into our new home last September, and All Plumbing came highly recommended to us by the previous owner, who had used their services to perform major plumbing work here after a basement flood. All Plumbing installed a sewer ejector pump in the basement, and helped to put in a finished bathroom down there too. They also come out each spring to rod our pipes, since we have many mature trees on our property and this causes havoc in our pipes.

I've had them out 4 times since we moved in - admittedly, twice was really for nothing beyond me being concerned about the way things were draining. They didn't even charge me a penny for one of the visits! I've had same day service when the pipes were backing up - they came within an hour or two of my call. I've seen 3 different service men and all 3 were wonderful. Regardless what the issue is that I have them come out for, they also take the time to explain all of the rest of the surrounding plumbing to me and make sure that all of my questions are answered. They also remember everything about our house, and are local so they know the neighborhood.

If you're having any plumbing problems I highly recommend them! They are a company that you can just stick with and know that your issue will be taken care of quickly and professionally.

They also do accept check or credit card.

Pete is a very knowledgeable plumber.  He is straightforward with the scope of the work and pricing and a very fair person to work with.  I appreciate his craftsmanship and use him whenever I have the need for a plumber.

Courteous and prompt, I needed a faucet leak checked after an inspection on my home for sale in Bartlett. Scheduling was easy estimate was accurate and service was fast and thorough. Would recommend highly.
