Best in Chicago IL

Very reputable company.  They came right out, prices were totally fair & the service was pretty surprisingly amazing.  I will definately call them next time.  Highly recommend.

Let me start by stating that I typically never write reviews and my husband usually takes care of all repairs in the house. After discovering we had a hole in a pipe in our wall on a Sunday, my husband decided this is more that he really wanted to tackle. After clean up and a temporary fix to get us through to Monday, he made 4 calls to 4 companies based on reviews from the local FB site. One call back asked us to send pics and then he backed off, another said he could maybe stop by later in the day & to call when him back in the late afternoon (code for no thx), the third was in Elgin and was trying to see who'd be available to come to Schaumburg and then we got the call back from B&A.  They scheduled an appt to come out Tues morning.  They showed up on time as promised and got to work.  The initial problem was address and repaired quickly.  We then discovered the issue was bigger than we originally thought.  Corrosion in one pipe meant problems with the others.  Ultimately they had to schedule a second appt to break into the concrete to make the fix.  They came back as promised and fixed the issue. It was the best case scenario thankfully!  I was scared to look at the bill for the two visits but it was honestly a great surprise.  They were very reasonable and the total came in less then the deductible on our homeowners policy! A big thank you to Jim & Ryan for a job well done!  I highly recommend B&A!

I was recommended by a relative. I had a backed up sink and he fixed it! He had all the right tools to get the job done. You get the feeling that he has been doing this for many years. I will be using him for all of my plumbing needs! He also charges a fair price for the work that is done.

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!

He didn't even mock me for my own attempts to fix the problem. (to my face)

We have old galvanized pipes in some of our vintage home and they get difficult to clean out. I've been putting off fixing the slow drain (until it stopped draining altogether) because we are planning some remodeling and an addition this year. Just couldn't wait any longer.

I have extensive experience with plumbers... the honest guys and the really dishonest ones too.

Bob's a straight shooter. He's a nice guy too, but that's just an added bonus. It was a struggle but Bob stuck with it and got the job done. I also took the opportunity to talk to him about the plumbing and the potential fixes for the future. He had some ideas that I hadn't thought of that would save us a ton of time, money and mess.

When you find a good plumber, stick with him.

So, I'm happy.. it's Friday, worked out at my favorite gym today, hung out with my favorite wife (just kidding.. only have 1 of those) shopped at my favorite store and got my pipes cleaned... not necessarily in that order.

I'd call it a win.

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!

I contacted Gus about a couple of minor repairs and we scheduled a time on Thursday. However Gus texted me on Wednesday and asked if he could come a day early to complete the work! When does a repair person ever ask to come early?!

Anyway, Gus came and completed the work quickly and results were spot on. I would recommend, and will definitely use him for additional work in the future!

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

I've unfortunately had to use Glenbrook plumbing more that I would like, they've fixed many issues for me - including leaky faucets, faulty toilets, hot water heater replacement, ejector pump failure (2X), clogged toilets (I have boys that like to flush things down the toilet) and most recently a free standing tub with leaky pipes. Bill Jr. Bill Sr. And many of their employees did a fine job. Prices seem fair for the Northshore. They are prompt and dependable which matters most, especially in a plumbing crisis!

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.  

I spoke with the owner Jason over the phone and scheduled an appointment for the next day regarding a sewer being backed up. He showed up the next morning on time which was the only plus. The experience after that was not so great though.

He cleared out the main sewage lines and a water line located behind the stove. Roughly 20 minutes after the work was done and he had left, the tenant called the whole basement had FLOODED.

I showed up to the unit and found the issue. Jason drilled a two inch hole into the water pipe so he could rod it out. The issue was he simply used regular tape to cover up the hole. I was shocked when I saw that a professional plumber would use tape to cover up a hole in a water pipe.

I called Jason immediately to explain the situation but was told he is on the other line and would call back. I did not hear from Jason so I called back an hour later and left a voicemail. It has been over a week and two additional voicemail's later, he still has not called back. Obviously he is avoiding contact by all means at this point.

The situation only gets better. One week after the work was done, the tenant called that the sewer was backed up again. I called another plumber and he had to come out and got the job done. I had to pay twice the amount because the job was not done the first time around.
Also, I like to point out I was quoted the day before a reasonable price. It was not until the work was completed did the owner Jason mention he performed extra work and charged $100 more from the original quote.

AVOID THIS BUSINESS BY ALL MEANS.

This is the worst place!!!  Try to avoid them at all cost!!  My furnace wouldn't stay lit.  I called about 3 different companies.  Naturally, King's was the first to arrive.  The technician, of course, stated I needed a new furnace.  He got my old furnace started and then spent the next half hour trying to sell me a new furnace. When he saw I wasn't going to make a decision on the spot, he proceed to take out a device which he said detected carbon monoxide.  After playing around with it for 10 minutes, he finally got it to start beeping.  Then, he said yep, you need a new furnace.  I immediately asked why the other 6 carbon monoxide detectors I have in the home (battery and electric) weren't going off.  He then told me his was very sensitive.  I told him no on the new furnace.  He charged me $85 to start my furnace and told me he was going to put on the receipt that he had disconnected the furnace.  I gave him the money and he left.

The next day it would not stay lit again.  I called a different company and all the furnace needed was an igniter.  I had intended to file a complaint against King's with the BBB and the Attorney General, but I got really busy.  I will still file a complaint with the Attorney General's office and file a complaint with every online review board.

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!!!

Public Plumbers was referred to us by a trusted professional in the plumbing business when we discovered a gas leak in our house. This was an emergency situation and they came out within an hour of calling. They were very professional and thorough! It took a long time because they were being very careful and making sure they got every leak. I was expecting a gigantic bill but it was reasonable, given the situation. Peoples Gas came back out to assess and said the plumbers did a great job- we got our gas turned back on. I highly recommend this business!
