Thank you very much for having us over! We appreciate the service call as well as your review here. I did notice the mid grade for price-I will be upfront as always and tell you that a licensed, bonded and insured plumbing service company with excellent, trained plumbing technicians, will never be what I would consider to be inexpensive, but I do promise that we are still a fantastic value compared to our competition. We are very happy that you were pleased with Brian, and our company, of course, so again, thank you!

I would definitely hire again and again and again! Drew was our assigned plumber and he was extremely knowledgeable and trust-worthy! I hired another company about 2 months ago and they rodded out the kitchen sink. They said that the garbage disposal was the issue and needed to come out. So I bought a garbage disposal and hired Goode to install. Drew said it wasn't the garbage disposal and that the old one just needed to be tightened. Boom he was done in like 5 minutes. Carrie (or Keri? spelling) who works the office is incredibly professional! She let me know that Drew was going to be early and accommodated us as best she could! I couldn't ask for a better experience and plumber! It would have cost more to do a garbage disposal install but Drew saw what "really" needed to be done.

I was traveling when my neighbor contacted me and emailed Goode. When I explained I could not call for an appointment until I got home, the worked with me by email to set one up, which I appreciated. On the day of the appointment, Mike T. arrived a few minutes early and got right to work checking the sink. He explained what he was looking for and at as he checked for leaks. After determining the work needed, Mike T. told me how much it would cost and that he either had the parts in the truck or at the shop, 5 minutes away. Sure enough, he had the parts and the work all within a couple hours of diagnosis. Goode Plumbing and Mike T. were such a pleasure to work with that I asked him about replacing the kitchen faucet. Mike called back form the shop and gave me a couple of options and pricing. When I'm ready to get a new faucet, I'll call Goode Plumbing.

The plumber was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained the various options and issues very well. He worked diligently all day to do the replacement which was somewhat tricky because of the space the heater needed to fit into. He also did a great cleanup after al long day.

Thank you very much for having us out to install the new water heater. We sent Brian out, who has been with us for several years, to do this work. We are glad that you were happy with his work and our service. Brian installed a new, Bradford White water heater here-a high quality product that is made in the USA, and one that we back up with an excellent warranty including our Lifetime Warranty against defects in our workmanship, as well as a 6 year warranty that covers not only parts, but our labor as well! We appreciate the work and your review as well!

I called and made an appointment with Goode. Had about a week turnaround time. They recommended purchasing some possible replacement parts prior to the service call which I did through Amazon for app. $30. Mike the plumber arrived - on time, even a little early. He diagnosed the issue and determined that I did not need the replacement parts, rather the toilet needed to be augered (aka "snaked") and this saved me several hundred dollars for which I am grateful. They also took the 10% off coupon from Angie's List

Mike D from Goode was out The next morning addressing the issue. I have a 75 gallon water heater that he had replaced before 3pm with an assist from another tech named DeValle. Both were total pros and the work was done quickly. Top notch quality all around. It was probably a little more expensive than some others but I don't mind paying up a little knowing the work was done properly. Would highly recommend.
Description of Work: Our water heater started leaking pretty badly on Friday night. It was an older water heater and needed to be replaced.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you for the very nice review, and for allowing us to install the new water heater for you. The water heater that we installed, I will agree, is not the least expensive on the market, but is of excellent quality, as was the installation. Our water heater installations are a bit unique. We start with a made in the USA Bradford White water heater. We then remove the factory drain valve and replace it with our own full port valve-this allows for much more sediment to be removed during maintenance time. We connect the water heater to and from the water supply using our Brass Fitting Package-which is a series of brass fittings. These are superior in protection against electrolysis corrosion compared to the much more commonly used dielectric unions. And we back the water heater up for 6 years-not just parts, but labor as well! This is perhaps the most important appliance yet the most often overlooked one in one'[Member Information Removed] home so we feel it is important to supply our clients with a the highest possible quality unit, with an installation to match. Again, we are very glad that you are happy with us and appreciate your review here as well!

I am beyond pleased. They managed to reroute some of the digging so as not to ruin a ceramic floor. They also discovered my water heater was installed incorrectly and carbon monoxide was leaking into living area. I can't recommend Mike T and the Goode team high enough. This is the second really big job Goode has done here.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you, member, for your review. We truly appreciate the work and are glad that you were happy with us! Regarding our pricing, you had to have us redo work that was poorly done by another plumber. If you felt we were high in cost compared to a company that does sloppy work, then yes, that is probably true-better work does cost more. We are still an excellent value, if you look at our cost considering the quality, customer service, and the fact that we back it up with a great warranty. If you compare us to our true competition-other professionals with high standards of work, you will find our pricing is very reasonable. As you mentioned, the job was quoted up front rather than by time and material. This is the most fair way to charge. There are no surprises-you know what the cost is before we do the work. We hire only excellent plumbing service technicians who, in addition to having years of prior experience, go through constant training with us, and some are simply faster at one given task over another. For example, one plumber may be very fast at soldering pipe and fitting joints. One of our other plumbers may deliver the same quality job at the end, but might take longer doing so. It would not be fair for our clients to pay more for a plumber to do the same task more slowly-which is exactly what happens with time & materials based companies. I hope this helps to explain our charges. The plumber that we sent was faster than average at the service you needed. We always invite price shopping. We just ask that you compare us to other true professionals who treat both their employees and clients well, who do fantastic work using great materials. Again, thank you very much for the review, and for having us out to help sort your plumbing issue out.

I had a backed up kitchen drain line that ended up being a tricky job to get done--I ended up needing both Mike D and Brian from Goode Plumbing to prevail. Nothing but a positive experience. Both were fantastic professionals; clearly knew their stuff and did not hesitate to explain everything they were doing, were very courteous, triple-checked their work, and cleaned up nicely after the job was done. I ended up getting my money's worth (this job took a while). I wouldn't hesitate to hire Goode again in a heart beat!
