Description of Work: I called to make an appointment because we are having issues with our sink draining and an odd smell coming from our toilet. Goode Plumbing was booked through the end of next week and since we need someone here as soon as possible, I need to cancel this Big Deal and go with another plumbing service.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Hello Member, I am sorry that we were unable to guarantee you a time in the slot that would have worked for you. We were admittedly a bit backed up due to emergency calls from the very large amount of rain and resulting flooding last week. We did, however, offer to put you on a wait list if something opened up. Most of the people on the wait list do get in, and, in fact, we called you and left a message as something did open up. My apologies that we could not guarantee you a time when you initially called, but I would rather be up front than promise you something I wasn't sure could be delivered. I do hope you will give us the opportunity to be of service to you in the future. Thank you, Mike Goode

Thank you very much for having us over to install your new water heater. Originally, this client contacted me on Saturday night. I responded and offered to come out late that night or on Sunday, but to save some money she opted to wait until Monday. There was a fair amount of repiping in order to install the new water heater, but we were able to do this and get hot water restored by the afternoon. We appreciate your hiring us to handle this work for you!

Great!
Description of Work: I originally called because my 5 yr old Bosch tankless water heater stopped working. Ernie (the technician) spent several hours trying to troubleshoot the problem. He finally narowed it to the ignitor(?). The part is possibly no longer available, so I decided to replace the whole unit. Ernie said that he could apply 75% of the cost of this service call toward the purchase/install of a new Rinnai. It took 1 1/2 days to install the new unit, as Ernie is quite meticulous and took the time to reroute the existing gas line to make it less intrusive into the space provided. He also rethreaded the existing gas lines with new joint sealer as the old joints were dried out and possibly compromised. He was punctual and kept a very clean work area. He also took all trash with him when he left. I was very pleased with the work and workmanship. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Thank you, Member. We appreciate the work and this report. We do service and installations on quite a few tankless water heaters (as well as other types), and it turned out that a replacement in this case was needed. The unit we installed was a Rinnai brand water heater, which has proven to be very reliable. We use our own mounting board, and properly size the gas supply. Sizing of gas supply for the tankless water heaters is critical-and something we see done incorrectly far too often. Thank you for rewarding us with this project.

Thank you very much for the work. This was in a high rise-many of which require specific insurance and licensing requirements. This one was particularly specific, which took a little time to get through, but worked out well. We appreciate the fact the the building protects its residents by doing its best to make sure they use quality contractors such as little old us! Thank you again for the work and this review.

Description of Work: They came ontime, checked out my bathtub drain which was running slow. He rodded it and cleaned up after and every thing was great. I went downstairs after he left and noticed there was water on the floor. I called them and told them I had a leak, and they sent him right back and he fixed the leak which was way more work and parts than the original job for free. He said "it's a customer satisfaction thing". Well, I am very satisfied, and I would use them again and I would recommend them.

Thank you for the work and the review. I am glad that we were able to get your tub draining properly. Regarding the leak, as it turns out someone in the home's past installed the improper trap which came loose. We came back and resealed the trap, but as advised, it should be replaced with the correct trap at some point to avoid issues in the future.

Thank you very much for the work and this report. One of our plumbers, Develle, and our assistant, Dan, completed replacement of galvanized water supply with copper. We use heavy duty, Type L copper for our water supply installations above ground-this is thicker walled than Type M which we come across often. We use type L for superior temperature insulation and retention, and quality. We hope you will enjoy improved water pressure and leak free plumbing for many, many years.

it went superbly - see above
Description of Work: We just moved into our home and decided there were a couple of things we wanted - run a gas line for our grill and replace the hot water heater. Mike came out to discuss hot water heater options and we decided on a hybrid system. Bob came out to install the gas line and he was professional, efficient, and did a great job!Ermie (and others) came to install the hot water heater - they were amazing. They found that the prior hot water heater had been installed PRIOR to a door frame being installed and thus they had to remove a portion of the frame. Anybody else would have ripped it out and really made the repair of that my problem. Ernie and his colleague (sorry - I forgot his name!) were careful, meticulous, and really paid attention to detail. When they were behind schedule due to the hiccup of the weird configuration, they "called for back up" - Jeff came, and then Mike (Goode) came out - they were here until 1115 pm as they did not want to leave until all was up and running with nothing left to do.....they even reinstalled the door frame (and did a great job at that!)Can't say enough about these guys -

Thank you very, very much for the very nice review and for rewarding us with the work in your home. We pushed so that this member could have a BBQ grill up and running for the weekend-as mentioned, our plumber Bob Devore ran a new gas supply pipe system over for that. A few days later, we came back to replace her existing, storage type water heater with a new, more efficient (both space and energy) hybrid water heater. As mentioned, when our plumber Ernie and assistant Ed Huchro were installing the unit, it became necessary to remove the door frame in order to get the old unit out. As the Member did not have hot water, Jeff and I came out to help complete the installation. We hope our services will help this Member enjoy her new home.

Thank you for the work and the service work. I fixed a few small plumbing issues at this client's home. One thing he mentioned is that we replaced his washing machine hoses-which brings up a point that many homeowners should consider. Washing machines typically come with basic rubber supply hoses. We recommend replacing these with braided reinforced lines, as we did for this client.

Description of Work: Mike worked on basement toiet which ran continually. First he tighten everything to the extent that we turned the water off, and dumped a bucket of water into the bow to flush. He responded immediately to my request to return, but still he did not repair the toilet. We finally worked on it ourselves. He did work on a second floor toilet which seems to be working fine.

Thank you, Member, for the report. I do apologize for the issue with the basement toilet. It was working properly when I left, as I tested it. I do apologize for the issue, and would have responded again to repair it. The second toilet that you mentioned, which I rebuilt completely, and has been working properly, was completed using all brass replacement parts, and will give you many years of reliable service. I hope that you will continue to use our service in the future. Thank you.

Thank you for the work and the report. I have done several items in this particular 6 unit building-thank you for the loyalty. This was to repair a hot water boiler. We don't really service boilers, but as it was cold day and the unit owners had been without hot water all day, I was able to figure out the issue and get it resolved.

Thank you for the kind words. As the Member has stated, we were scheduled to come out and indeed did show up, just after the owner was able to fix one of the issues himself. We did end up coming back after he tried to fix a second outside faucet. He should not feel bad about not being able to fix that second one-it was indeed a tough one! We did get it replaced for him. It was in a pretty tight spot, with little access, but it is again up and working.

Description of Work: we used Goode 2 times in a short period. Once because our water heater wasn't working properly. The owner came out quickly and explained our options to us about extending the life of our current heater or buying a new heater. We ended up buying a new heater based on all the information her provided. They were punctual, professional, and their work was excellent. We then had a problem with our pump (unrelated) which resulted in a flood in our basement. They came out quickly and addressed the problem effeciently.

Thank you very much for the words as well as the work. The water heater we installed for this customer was a Bradford White unit-our standard storage type water heater. These are excellent quality units. This one was more involved than the norm due to gas and vent piping for the furnace that had to be removed and reinstalled to get the old water heater out, and the new unit in place. We also installed a thermostatic mixing device for greater efficiency. The pump that we installed was a Zoeller cast iron unit, also excellent quality and boasting a two year parts and labor warranty from us.

Description of Work: We had the plumber install new guts in a leaking toilet in the townhouse we just purchased. He did a great job, and fixed a leak as well. He also explained where all the water valves and gas valves and sumppump valves were- he was extremely courteous and professional. We thought the price a tad high, but were very happy with service.

Hello! Thank you for the work and for taking the time to write a report on us. I am glad that you were happy with the work. I do realize that the price may have seemed a little high as you stated, but please understand that we use only excellent quality parts and materials on our jobs. These materials may be a little more costly that what you would find at a "big box" store, but the quality is superior and allows us to back it up with a great warranty. You will surely get many trouble free years out of these parts.

Description of Work: Was a simple clothes washer hook up but when I tried it, the connection leaked every time. It looked like the valve was bad which went beyond my expertise. Ended up that I was using the wrong washer size. Dumb on my part but they didn't make me feel bad for it. I know of plumbers who charge a minimum of $200 or $250 so to walk away from this at $150 was a bargain in my mind

I did have not received a call from you, but if you would be kind enough to call me on my cell phone directly at (773) 407-1884, I will make certain that I will do everything I can to make this right.
