Best Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL

I wouldn't even give one star but had no choice to write a review. I wish I could write this under better circumstances. They did plumbing work in my basement and installed a new faucet in the kitchen. Afterwards the water was turned on and noticed there was no hot water. Upon inquiry the plumber went back into the basement where the hot water heater is and said, Your hot water heater is cashed. I thought, That's odd considering it's been working just fine. Today we had someone look at the hot water heater and found that someone turned the temperature all the way down on the hot water heater. I'm not happy about this! I may be a female and I may be blonde... but trust me ... I'm FAR from stupid! They'll never get another penny from me.

Had some reconstruction done due to a sewer pipe backing up and Gary and Brandon came out to reset my sink, toilet, washer and dryer(With steam feature).  They were right on time as agreed to, kind and worked very efficiently. They honestly told me about a sink I bought wouldn't be easy to put in so we just returned it and had the original one put back in with new fixtures. The sink looks like new.I would not hesitate calling them again for any of my plumbing issues. Thank you for your hard work! Great company to work with!

Friendly, honest, quality work. He shows up on time, explains things well and takes great care with his work. We've hired Pekney plumbing for a number of projects and we've always been happy with the results.  On a few occasions the issue ended up being significantly less than what we originally anticipated.  Rather than take advantage of the situation like some people might Joe explained everything and saved us time and money.  We've also had a water heater go out late on Friday afternoon, and Joe was able to come out that day with a new one saving us from a weekend without warm water.

Excellent honest very fair priced old school plumber. He worked hard for four hours straight and the bill was 40 % less than the big company quotes plus when the job ran longer than expected because of the common snafus he stayed until 9pm to get it finished and cleaned up everything. Also has an easy going friendly personality. I couldn't be more pleased and am shocked he doesn't have many more reviews.

Had received a quote from another plumber for my cabin in Three Oaks.  Thought it was somehwat high so decided to get a second quote before proceeding...so glad I did!  Not only was Goodman lower but my experience from initial call to on-site completion was top-notch on all.  Nick (owner) took time to explain the issues and even though they ran into an unexpected on-site issue (I actually had a 120v water heater versus a 220v), he was able to pivot immediately and get a new unit in and install it the very next morning in time for guests arriving following day.   Could not recommend this company enough - just an honest, efficient, professional small business that always make sure they have a happy and satisifed customer whatever it takes.  Thanks to Goodman team and will be recommending you to all the other owners at Lakeside Cabins!

Bob always does a terrific job for us. He has done all the plumbing for our bathroom remodel, kitchen remodel, taken care of our clogged drains, banging pipes, run the line/hooked up our natural gas grill and even rodded our sewer line.
His sense of urgency and attention to detail is unmatched.

We needed help with removing our toilet and replacing the wax ring, but we didn't have the tool to cut a rusty screw. They were quick to respond to my initial call and flexible with coming later the following day when my husband was home from work. They arrived on time and were done very quickly, at an affordable price. Both men were polite, friendly, and social. We will definitely be saving their number for future needs!

Called Gus to repair the toilet and kitchen faucet. Responsive and reliable (unlike the other handyman who said would work on the jobs but never scheduled a time).  His rate is very reasonable and he does good work. Now I'm looking to see what else I can get done in the house while he's still available. Lol... thanks Gus!!

Very Professional and Friendly. Competitive prices. I called Cesar that day and he came out right away.

Nice work, but VERY expensive.
My main sewer drain had clogged after 30 years of living in our home. Ralph and Alan arrived on time and quoted me a price of $385 for up to an hour of rooting and $47 per quarter hour after that. They proceeded to clean the main drain and remove roots for over 100 feet. They were polite and professional and cleaned up after themselves. They were at the house for 2 1/4 hours and charged me $645.00. After the fact, I looked up a home service cost calculator program on the internet for the work that I had done. The job cost calculator says that a 2.4 hour sewer line job in my area should cost $160.00.

I have a gut rehab in Chicago and I called to see if this was a company that can handle the plumbing. This guys was extremely rude and just wanted the address. He then said, You wouldn't have the money for me, I don't want my trucks in that area. Our property is just off Oakpark and in a great up-and-coming area. I earn six figures and this is my 4th property. Just because I am a minority doesn't mean I don't have the money to work with you. I probably earn more money then you anyway, but above all this guy was very condescending. If you are a minority or someone that supports equal rights, don't give this guy your business. Let him earn it in white collar communities he probably can't afford to live in himself.

Caveat Emptor!!!!!
This is a real review from a real customer. First, let me say that they worked on the A/C, and I  have a contract with these guys to come out and check the furnace in the fall. I'll refuse service and they can keep the money. I'm just going to cut my losses while I'm ahead. At least the furnace works at this point. Now here's my experience, (and I told them I would Yelp):

A/C went out on a 90 degree day. I called this company, and I was called back and told that the repairman would not be able to get out that day. Business must have really been booming. I said OK. Of course I was going to call someone else, and I should have!

Suddenly my phone rings and amazingly the repairman can get out to me in 15 minutes. How lucky for me....right. Yes, lucky me. He arrived and everything in the world suddenly was wrong with the unit, but he just happens to have all the parts. Yes, lucky me. He said he would have the unit fixed in 15 minutes. Wow, lucky me! THE BILL CAME OUT TO $742 FOR  15 MINUTES OF WORK!!!! YES LUCKY.@#%$....ME!!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Do Not Hire this person!!!
We recently hired him for a small shower renovation. We paid him $4k and he never finished the job. We had 3 separate plumbers check his work and All of them said it was incorrect. We ended up paying someone else to finish the job correctly. He ghosted us and never responded to us after he took our money. HORRIBLE! Please Do Not Hire Him!!!

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!
I called them for an estimate on changing a gasket in my bathroom. I was told that they charge $165 to come out and that will be for one guy and half hr. Its it takes longer than that, they need 2 guys and it will be around $400. Are you kidding me?
I called another plumber and he came our, fixed the gasket and did other work, was there for about 4 hrs and the charged me $195. Of course I gave him a little extra as I felt bad he did so much work. This guy is licensed and bond. I will be happy to refer him to anybody.
Public Plumbing blows!!!
