S&K Plumbing Company was founded in 1994 by owner Jeff Killian. Starting off, Jeff was the only employee. Although the company has grown some, it is still a family owned and operated company that has been able to keep it's personal-attention roots. Originally only focusing on service work and minor sewer repairs, S&K Pluming now specializes in all applications of underground sewer and water installation, repair and replacement. This expansion has not changed their tradition in plumbing service and repair at all. From minor household plumbing repairs to major remodeling and new addition construction, S&K Plumbing has the ability and skills to do any work and solve any problem. Since the start, a focus on professional, high-quality work, with an emphasis on customer service and reliability, has helped S&K become a well known and reputable plumbing company in the Chicago suburbs. Having done work in all the surrounding villages and townships, the licensed plumbers of S&K Plumbing know state and local codes and requirements. When something breaks, we know how to fix it properly, even if it happens at 2AM. Our 24-hour answering service puts you one phone call away from a licensed plumber on call. When you call our number, you will talk to a person, not an answering machine or paging system. Only a licensed plumber takes the call for emergencies, so when disaster strikes, the person on the other end of the line will know what to do and be ready to help. ***If you have an urgent need addressed, please CALL our main number and speak with someone in our office to make sure we can address your urgent need immediately. Messages sent through email and the Angie's List message system may take a few hours to be returned.***

Horrible, I felt ripped off.
Description of Work: We needed two toilets fixed that were not refilling properly, and the bill was $348. They significantly overcharged for the work done and we will never hire them again. They did not provide a cost estimate in advance, and submitted a bill after completion which was three times higher than I expected. When I scoffed at the bill, they didn't readjust only reducing the $20 coupon for being an Angie's List member. We will not be using them again.

Response from S & K PLUMBING CO
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am very sorry to hear you are displeased with your experience with us. I just wanted to let you know that we work very hard to offer the highest quality work at rates that are very competitive to licensed professional plumbers in your area. But, when comparing prices to handymen and other non-licensed plumbers, our prices may seem out of line. When operating a legitimate plumbing company, which is fully licensed by the state of Illinois, bonded and insured, there would be no way pricing could be fairly compared to those individuals who do not met those same professional standards. And to address your point of no estimate given, there was no request for an estimate or pricing to be given on the phone or before work was done at your home. We always have pricing readily available whenever we are on the job and often times even over the phone. Regardless of those circumstances, we are always willing to speak to our customers about any concerns they may have because we strive to provide not only quality work, but exceptional customer service. Unfortunately, when I contacted you to discuss the charges and why you thought they were excessive, you were not interested in going further with discussing them or in discussing how we could help remedy the situation. We remain available, as always, if you ever do wish to contact us to work out a solution and help make your experience with our company a positive one. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like. Brian H. S&K Plumbing Co.

The work turned out very nicely. They dug a large hole in the yard and they did a great job putting everything back together. The owner, Jeff Killian, was very respectful, down to earth, professional and he explained things very thoroughly. He was very straight forward, didn't try to selll me something I didn't need. He was very punctual and prompt. I plan to use him again for my next project.

Jeff Killian did a fantastic job explaining all of our options relating to our broken and leaking sewage exit. Our home has a unique sewage system that required a very specific solution. S & K's prices are not cheap, but they are worth every penny. The quality and workmanship of their solutions abundantly apparent. Additional kudos to Brian Hoffenberg and the rest of the S & K team who performed the installation. It was a dirty job, but they tackled it flawlessly.

Sent email to company night before - no response received. So early at 7am called company with problem of water backing up in toilet on ground level - causing flooding. Someone called back within 30 minutes to say they would come out that day - just let him get into the office and set the schedule. He showed up 10am, called 20 minutes before to make sure I knew when to expect him. He looked at the situation, checked the basement to see if there was access to the pipe in question (originally my husband told me there was access - just not the kind the plumber needed). He gave us a quote upfront and that was the price we paid in the end (less the Angie's List discount from this company's coupon) He ended up having to remove the toilet to access the pipe and cleared it out to the main. He worked hard the whole time he was here. Did not seem phased by the barking dog that we kept separated by a gate. He cleaned up after himself and let us know what we could do in the future to stop this from happening again, or what can be done to make access easier (a bigger job). He even offered to get us the name of a carpet restoration company to help with the damage. Would definitely use this company again. Clean, Professional and Prompt.

I called on Monday, February 1 right before closing time. The person who answered asked if it was an emergency (it wasn't) and then told me someone would call me in the morning to set up an appointment. Indeed Brian called me before nine to find out what the problem was and to set up an appointment for the early afternoon. He called around one to give me a thirty-minute warning. He came on time and was very professional, not wasting time, very polite. After looking things over, he gave me an estimate that was right on the money. He completed both jobs and even cleaned up after himself!!

Called in the morning and they came out the same afternoon. I thought the disposal would need to be replaced, but there was just a small piece of plastic that was causing the noise and it was easily removed. Brian suggested that the p-trap be replaced since it was not really properly installed previously. He did this minor repair and also changed the whole house water filter in the basement. Brian was professional and explained everything very clearly.

Brian was at my house within an hour of my first phone call for an emergency power rodding of my kitchen sink. He was friendly, but focused on getting the job done right. He checked out the basement to get a feel for how the plumbing ran in the house. He turned off the sump pump (and remembered to turn it back on before leaving). He brought all his own supplies and in no time was power rodding, then running water to be sure all was well, and then cleaning up and on his way. Amazing that by 9:30 or so he was on his way and I was back to normal. He explained that garbage disposal scraps and grease buildup over the years caused the backup, and for the future not to use the disposal for scraps if possible. We reallly appreciated him coming out!!
Description of Work: Emergency kitchen sink drain power rodded. Sink had backed up on both sides, and plunging was of no help. Sump pump running caused the sinks to fill even higher, and we needed someone immediately to come look at the problem. Called at 7:30pm and got the answering service, and Brian called back within 20 minutes. He had a prior commitment that evening, but was able to stop by on the way and complete the job.

We were selling our house and had to have the water pipe leak repaired promptly. Steve the owner of S & K Plumbing came to our house the same day we contacted him and provided an estimate and explained the work that needed to be done. He scheduled the work in a timeframe that met our needs for completing the job quickly and kept us informed of when the different phases of the job would be done. The repair and repaving of the driveway were done efficiently and in a high quality manner.
Description of Work: A water service pipe under our driveway developed a leak. S & K Plumbing removed a section of the concrete driveway, excavated the dirt above the waterpipe, repaired the leak, filled in the hole with gravel and tamped it down, and repaved the section of driveway.

They did not find us in the computer several days after making appointment: explained it as a computer problem. The plumber came later the same day, so my wife lost a whole day of work instead of only a half. I thought the price was too high to install a $240 sink plus they charged $250 for their faucet. Also they unraveled the job to different parts and charged separately for every piece. I have no problem with quality, just feel the service call was poorly organized and we were overcharged.

Response from S & K PLUMBING CO
Due to an upgrade with our scheduling software we suffered a glitch that caused three of our previously scheduled appointments to disappear (they were scheduled prior to the upgrade). Unfortunately, of the three, this member was the only one that had never used us before. We fully understand that this was not an ideal first experience and we tried to make amends. We worked with them to make the time fit into her schedule and we gave them a total of $40.00 off their job. We apologized sincerely and profusely for the mix-up. Regarding the other comments about the pricing--- for that kind of job we usually come out and give a free estimate. Jeff offered to do this and they refused stating they just wanted to get it done (we could have done the work and the estimate at the same time). As for the faucet price the $250.00 was not just for the faucet. All our prices include the cost of installation and if necessary the removal and disposal of old fixtures. While they supplied the laundry tub the waste and water lines needed to be completely redone. We are truly sorry for the mix-up. We understand their disappointment with the scheduling glitch and would be willing to extend to them another discount on our services if they should decide to give us another chance.

Brian showed up on time. This is a big deal for me because I wanted to make the most of my day off and arranged to have other things done as well. He was very polite and explained the pricing and warranties in great detail. He explained that when he rodded the main sewer line from the clean out in front that he rods both out to the street and back into the house which would eliminate the need to rod the basement drain. I appreciated the honesty because he saved us some money. He asked if I had any questions before he began the work and then again after. He explained the guarantees again.
