Called to have a leaky toilet fixed.  Geoff was out the next morning, on time, called to let me know they were on their way.  He showed me the problem from the last plumber and he fixed everything!  Great job!  Will definitely be using Apex for ALL my plumbing needs from now on!

After a VERY BAD ordeal with another plumber on Yelp, I called Vanguard.  Well, first I called another highly recommended YELP plumber who didn't have the manpower to send anyone to our area, was very forthcoming and recommended calling Vanguard.  Jan is as professional as anyone can ask for and equally prompt.  He came into a mess created by another (hack) plumber that was here to fix a backed up drain with a garbage disposal.  The work required a lot of extra time unclogging a drain that had to be attacked from the basement of our condo, but ultimately they did it.  The pricing is fair and Jan and his help were incredibly kind and men who pride themselves in the work they do.  A big clue is the five-star rating and Angie's List approval.  Thank you again and again, Jan at Vanguard.

Victor (owner of Plumbing 123) was great!

My mom's house had a clogged drain line from the bathroom but the rest of the house's drains worked. I called several plumbers, described the situation,  and Victor gave me an estimate that was fair, stating I was 4th in line for the day should I accept.  I did accept.

He came before his estimated time and texted me to ask if that was OK.

He ran a camera up the drain line and showed me the roots that were causing the clog. He then cleared the clog with the machine that cuts the inside of the pipe clear and showed me the result by running the camera up the drain line again. My mom's clogged drain line problems were solved.

But Victor went above and beyond: He ran the camera towards the city's sewer line under the street (which had been draining well all along). He showed me a place where the main drain line had separated and one pipe had settled downward with respect to another, causing a narrowing of the sewer line. He suggested the city may own this part of the sewer line and that they need to fix it (rather than my mom having to hire a plumber).

I've kept Victor's number so I can call him next time my mom has a plumbing problem.

Had backsplash and new faucet to be installed in bathroom. Bathroom was done within a year and kitchen done 2 months ago...john roamed around my house and basement for half an hour trying to find water shut off. Told him I was not paying 94 an hour for him to try to find the shut off valve when others did. Then asked just to do the backsplash...said no we are done and walked out. Owner called and said Jon is good but does not understand. I do not get how other contractors could do a large job but a simple faucet replacement cannot happen.

He was helpful in giving me a free estimate. He recommended a small DIY fix and did not charge me anything.

Great doing business with them. Very clear and straightforward. No hidden costs and after the last storms we had in Chicago there is just one thing left to say: Dry basement.
I even recommend you to hire this guys to inspect the drain of any house you might be thinking to buy.

Discovered the toilet collar was corroded in my master bathroom. Called and was able to make an appointment right away. Joe came out, and actually gave me a call to see if I was available early, which was great! He was able to replace the flange and was in and out in 30 minutes. He was very polite and respectful, didn't leave a mess, and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Woohoo! is correct! What a fantastic job! Fixed our hot water tank leak issue. Was truthful and honest about the repair. A+++ Showed up on time, did the job, and charged the rate that was quoted. Also uses Quickbooks mobile, no paperwork. Great service and I will absolutely be calling again for future plumbing issues or projects.  Thank you!

Great people. Fast response and very professional and guaranteed work. I will definitely use them again!

We switched our kitchen sink and I needed to move the drain, install garbage disposal, and install new kitchen faucet.  I received a couple of quotes which were around the same price.  I talked to Andrew H. and felt like he was the best option.  He explained least case, min case and best case options and why and let me choose what worked for me.  He had an open dialogue before, during and after the project.  He was careful and thorough and extremely knowledgeable.  I will be requesting Andrew for all future plumbing work!!  Great experience!!

I am a first time homebuyer and became distressed when I stopped at the house the Monday before moving in to find no hot water. On Thursday, my dad and I tried to troubleshoot it when some basic knowledge but then I had to reach out to plumbers on Yelp. Arco was one of the few to have prompt replies ... they then sent a guy at the end of the day to inspect/diagnose the problem the same day i first talked to them on the phone.

They then scheduled for Monday 8am, which was impressive as I did stress I was moving in that day and would love to have hot water by Wednesday. The problem was fixed (a valve replaced and new piping out in) within an hour of his arrival and I'm all set up with nice, hot water! Thank you so much for your help!

I got tired of trying to have my contractors finish all the little details that are left after a remodel, so I looked for 'a handyman' to just be able to tie up all those details* I picked Tim because his location was close to me..Boy did I get lucky!!! Tim is on time, professional and very experienced, he thinks on his feet,comes up with creative solutions to details left by 'the other guy:(  Did wonderful work in a timely manner,Basically I gave him a punch list from leveling a floor to rehanging stainless shelves, that were not level..I have started my next punch list for him to take care of, I am thrilled to have found him and will be using his services for all my future handyman projects*

Called Alex Sunday night after fighting with a clogged kitchen sink all day.  He returned my call promply and scheduled service first thing Monday morning.  Alex arrived promptly at 8am and got to work quickly.  He resolved our clogging problem before 9am and provided helpful tips about my home's plumbing.  Overall great experience...don't hesitate to call!

As you can see from this business' reply, they admit that they stole my money for 'knowledge' and not actual services!! I did not pay for your knowledge, I paid for repairs that YOU DID NOT DO and you know it!

Take your business elsewhere, y'all! This is a trash way to steal people's money and a waste of time. This is dishonest and unprofessional. After several phone calls over the past month to get a response, this was the only reply I've gotten.

Dominic and crew were friendly and efficient. They knocked out our job fast, getting the pressure up in the upstairs bathroom, downstairs bathroom and kitchen. I liked the price and their professional service!! Worth the wait!

I called Goode plumbing for a second opinion when another plumber threw a HUGE estimate at me to fix a single pipe.

I've been around the block enough to know that shopping solely on price with contractors is a bad idea. You can save money here and there but if you're after nickels and dimes you're just doing yourself a disservice as a customer.

But boy was I relieved when Goode's estimate for the same work was less than half of the other company's price! The plumber on site was clear to me about what was wrong and why, and how the fix would be done. He was also familiar with the type of material in the building and was honest with me about options to go above and beyond vs just do what needs to be done to get a confident fix.

They did the work, at less than half what the other company said it'd cost, and my leak is gone. I'll come back to them for any big job I need.

Saved me.   I had a pretty rough week.  Food poisoning, my HVAC went out, and then my sump pump.   I called Walter who made me his first client of the day.  He quickly diagnosed the problem, went to the store and got the new sump pump and installed it all in under 2 hours.  Had me back up and running in no time.  Really appreciate him and he definitely made what has been a terrible week better.  He was professional, kind, and even gave me some suggestions on how to keep my water heater and HVAC good and functioning.  I've taken his suggestions and already implemented them.
