We have been to this Member's home a number of times. We sent our plumber, Erik, several months ago, to take care of a faucet cartridge issue and water pressure correction. More recently, Brian went to this Member's home and installed a new ejector pump, check valve, and other items. We certainly appreciate the loyalty, and your review as well. Thank you!

Description of Work: we have called Goode a few times for plumbing issues... this time Mike said he'd come by. and although the office didn't know, he reconfirmed and was there. we had gotten a quote from Blanton about our backed up toliets for close to $500, to remove toliet etc from when the Plumber was on-site giving an estimate. Mike Goode told me over the phone, it could be the same amount. but when Mike arrived, he was able to fix the issue in 10 minutes, by holding open the flush valve. toliets fixed, and cost $0. Mike didn't charge us for this! (We have also used them before to fix a water heater, i don't remember the cost, but were also happy with the service) Mike and team might take an extra day to get to you, but is worth it!

Thank you for your review! We appreciate the loyalty, having used our service for various plumbing needs. We do not give prices over the phone, because there are simply too many variables. We wish we were able to, but in most cases, it is nearly impossible to be truly accurate. As for the wait time, we are always trying to improve that! We appreciate you waiting for us, and for the work recently.

Thank you again for your review! We have done multiple items for this Member, both small service calls to larger projects including a flood control system and drain tile system, installation of a tankless water heater, installation of water supply to his roof deck, as well as smaller repairs, over the course the past several years. We truly appreciate the loyalty, and have to say it is truly a pleasure working with this Member. He knows what he wants and has a great sense of humor which makes him fun to work for.

Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your loyalty very much. Once in a while we have someone call with a problem that sounds like we may be able to walk them through on the phone, and offer advice when possible. One of the more common issues that we walk people through is a non working food waste disposal-there is a breaker switch that trips on these sometimes, and is just a matter, in many cases, of pressing a reset button. We do appreciate the service calls that we have been rewarded with from this member as well as the review posted here.

Description of Work: The plumber came early, so it is hard to knock them for punctuality; however, some users might not like an early arrival. The cost seemed somewhat made up in the guy's head, but he was nice and worked quickly. I had to have the refill valve replaced on my toilet. For $220, I will do it myself next time; but if I really need a plumber, I will give them a call if it is an emergency. Otherwise, I would do some cost comparison first.

Thank you for rewarding us with the service call. When we schedule jobs, we give our clients an estimated time window. In this case, we saw that the job prior to this one was going to be completed in less time than originally anticipated. So we called the man who hired us for this job, [Removed member name], and asked if he would be ok with us coming earlier. He said that it would not be a problem and that his girlfriend would let us in. We would never force someone to meet us earlier-if this had been inconvenient, we would have sent this plumber to another job and then to this one. Since he was next in line, we called with the option in case it might make things more convenient for him. Regarding the price, this was a very popular repair for us, so the plumber knew the price for this service from memory. We have a price guideline and do not make them up as we go along. With the coupon, the price came down 10 percent from the amount listed, making a really good value an even better one. Believe me, I realize that tradespeople can be more expensive than we originally anticipate-due to costs of insurance, licensing, and other aspects of running a legitimate business. You would not have these expenses or have a licensed plumber install the parts that we did if you did it yourself. Sort of like if you go to a restaurant the food costs more than if you made it yourself! We also installed a high quality fill valve that we warranty for two years. If you are able to do things on your own, we welcome that, as long as it is done properly, but if you hire a service company, be it us or anyone else, it is going to cost more, of course. We welcome price shopping as well-and I know that you will find us very reasonable by doing so. Thank you again for the work as well as your review, and I hope that we can be of assistance in the future.

Thank you for having us over to help with the sump pump. Normally we carry one on each of our vans, but with the recent heavy rains, we have been using more than usual! We try to keep them in stock at our shop also, so we typically have them available at all times. This was a high quality, all cast iron pump that we warranty for three years, both parts and labor. We also appreciate your review here!

Description of Work: One day I stopped getting hot water. My research led me to believe that the (7yr old) water tank needed cleaning and/or the flame sensor rod was covered with debris/sediment or just not working in general. I purchased a deal on AL for Goode Plumbing for a tank cleaning and I'm so happy that I did. The gentlemen that came out to visit really spent time assessing the situation and then applying the best remedy for it - and he was kind enough to explain to me what was going on throughout the whole process. He even replaced the water heater drain valve with their own (he explained it was for efficiency) and left me with tips and tricks to help maintain the tank long term. Suffice it to say, it's been roughly 6 mo's since I had the service call and hot water has not been an issue since; the tank behaves like new - kicks on with no issues. And the price was so right! I'm very pleased with the professionalism and rare brand of quality Customer Service I experienced with Goode Plumbing's representatives (also talked to a very nice woman in the office). I would definitely recommend this company.

Thank you for having us over to help with the water heater. I am very glad that you were happy with everyone from Kerri to the technician that we sent out. Water heaters used to last twenty years-sometimes longer! Nowadays it seems they average about ten years. All storage type water heaters should get some basic maintenance every two years-more often, if your water conditions are harsh. We recommend draining and flushing the tank and inspecting the anode rod, which should be replaced with a new one when deteriorated. Our full port drain valve with safety cap replaces the factory drain valve. We use these because the opening is about three times the size of the factory one, and allows considerably more sediment to be removed from the tank as a result. Thank you again, for the service call and your review.

Thank you for using our Sump Pump Inspection deal. Always a good idea if you have a sump pump, especially given the rains we have had here in the Chicago are the past few years. These pumps really work hard. While it is impossible to give an exact life expectancy, we figure 5-7 years is about what one should expect from a good quality pump such as a Zoeller. Home center pumps and similar low grade units may last considerably less, and pumps such as a Tramco should last even longer. Thank you for the service call and your very kind review here on Angie's List.

Thank you so much! We may not be the cheapest-our high standards for quality and customer service do not allow for us to give the rock bottom prices that we wish that we could, but I am confident that if you shop us compared to our competitors, we will come out as a fantastic value. We are happy to have a young helper! It is a good sign if your child is interested in the workings of your home!

Description of Work: They were terrific about returning phone calls and emails and promptly set up the service call. However, the plumber who came said he was in a hurry to get back to a meeting and didn't have time to answer any plumbing-related questions (which were part of my service request). He claimed he knocked $25 off for finishing quickly, but that didn't really match what the company advertises as its Angie's List discount. $275 seems high to replace a bathroom faucet - it was 25 minutes of labor, I had bought the part, and this did not even include fixing the sink stopper.

Thank you for your review. I apologize for you not having an A worthy experience in every aspect. The plumber that was out to you is a fantastic employee, but it seems that he made a couple of missteps with you. Regarding the price, he did give you a price up front that was discounted-he actually did a little better than the Angie's List coupon on this. We do our pricing up front, and by the job rather than by the hour, so that you know what you are going to be paying and there are no surprises at the end. We also do that so that you are not paying more for a slower plumber. All of our plumbers are technically very competent. Some are faster than others at certain tasks. We do not think it would be fair to ask our clients to pay more money to a plumber who may take a little longer at doing a certain job than they would to someone who may get things done faster with the same end result. And vise versa. The plumber that we sent to your home that day happens to be our fastest when it comes to service work such as you had. The actual job-driving there, setting up, doing the work, cleaning up, all takes considerable time, but he did get the job done more quickly than the average plumber. We have plumbers who do other things such as piping faster than this particular plumber, but again, the price will be the same. We find this a very fair way to do work both for the company as well as our customers. I do apologize for him not taking the time to answer your questions. While he did indeed have a meeting with a building engineer scheduled, our policy is to take one job, and one customer, at a time, to give you the best service, whether is actual work or advice. It does seem that we dropped the ball here in this case, and I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. I will try to contact you today, but you are always welcome to call me on my cell on (773)407-1884. Thank you, Mike Goode Goode Plumbing

Thank you for having us over to complete the installation of new sump and ejector pumps as well as a new battery back up system. The pumps that we installed have a three year warranty-which includes both parts and, through us, labor. We also installed the back up system-a brand and model that has proven to be very reliable over the twenty years I have been installing this system. This one had a defect, so we replaced it with a completely new unit, and sent the original back to the manufacturer. We appreciate your working with us, as well as your taking the time to write your review about us.
