It went well once I convinced them that the flange was the problem. (I had seen it was cracked much earlier.) The plumber removed the toilet to confirm the broken flange, then went to the hardware store to buy the piece. He wasn't gone too long considering it was rush hour. The flange was replaced and everything reassembled quickly. No more leak.

Thank you for having us send Develle out to help with the issue with your toilet. As described, we repaired a damaged toilet flange and installed the toilet with a new wax ring and supply line. This repair should keep things well secured for years to come. We appreciate the work as well as the review.

Thank you very much for having us over to help with the pressure issues! George is an excellent tech and is also our field supervisor. He is one of those guys that is up until the wee hours worrying about the details-our kind of guy! We are seeing pressure issues become more common in homes that are not very old. As rules for water conservation tighten up, faucet manufacturers are forced to reduce the size of orfices in supply tubes and cartridges, so that the laws can be met, yet pressure is adequate. As a result, we do see that debris and other sediment is more easily trapped in these areas, as opposed to old faucets which were more free flowing. I am pleased that you chose us to help in this situation, and also appreciate your very nice review.

Scheduling was fine. The plumber was very professional and polite. He provided a 2-hour window and arrived in that period. They did not honor the Deal amount as the Deal was expired so he will be sending a bill for this most likely.
Description of Work: They evaluated the plumbing and provided a quote to fix three leaky faucets and a small gas line. The estimate was high.

We also had a drain pan for the washing machine custom fabricated, and met the city inspectors for approval on the work. Everything turned out sano and we are glad that the client was very happy!

I contacted Goode Plumbing because my hot water was running very slow in my kitchen. I also had a leak in my existing faucet so I wanted to replace it. I also knew that the cold water shut off valve was as old as the house and the threads were worn so it needed to be replaced. Carrie set up an appointment for me between 8 AM and 11 AM. She asked if I had the faucet and I advised that I did. The day before the plumber was to come, I was called to confirm the appointment. The plumber arrived at 8:30 AM. The first thing he did was take a look at the hot water pressure and the shut off valve under the sink. He then went to his truck and obtained the bucket and tools that he needed to do the work. He detached the faucet hose from the hot water valve and tested the pressure. The pressure was good, so the problem was in the faucet connection. He then turned to the cold water shut off valve. We had to do a complete shut off of the water in order to replace it. When he completed that replacing the shut off valve, he then installed the new faucet. Since the new faucet was considerably taller than the existing one, he measured it to make sure it would fit and not hit the bottom of the cabinet above before he removed the existing faucet. Once he finished putting in the new faucet, he did a clean up and finished at approximately 10:30 AM. Right after he left I started to put my kitchen back together and I turned on the faucet and no water was coming out. Water came out when the plumber was here. I panicked. I called Goode and explained my problem. They told me they would get in touch with the plumber. He called and I explained my issue. I told him I tried everything and no water. He said he would come back. He arrived a little less than an hour after he left. Turns out, I did not know how to turn the faucet on. I apologized. However, it was not a totally useless trip. He found that the cold water pressure was not quite what it should be and I was able to give him better directions to get back to the interstate.
Description of Work: Plumber Bob installed a new faucet which I supplied and put in a cold water shut off valve in my kitchen.

Thank you for having us over to install the new faucet and isolation valves. We use quarter turn valves that are constructed of brass rather than the all too common plastic. I am glad that you are happy with us-our job is to not only do a high quality job, but to also make sure you know what was done and how things work, so I do apologize if our plumber did not fully instruct you the first time around! I am glad everything went well overall, and also appreciate your taking the time to write a review about us.

Thank you, Member, for taking the time to write a review about us. We are not normally booked that far in advance-and recently, we have hired an additional plumber to help reduce the wait time considerably. Many calls are handled the same or next day. We do our very best to get everyone in that we can, but of course, doing each job carefully and properly is our top priority. I do hope that you will consider us again-I think you will find the wait period reduced and our service as excellent as you found our initial response!

I called Goode Plumbing after finding water leaking through the ceiling in my basement from the bathroom above. I called at 12:45 pm on a Tuesday, explained the problem, and Carrie (who answered the call when I rang through) told me she would find who was available and would call me right back. She called back within 10 minutes to tell me that a plumber would be out by 1:30 that day. Eric arrived before 1:30. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. He asked some questions to help with focus and diagnosed the problem within 5 minutes. He explained clearly where the problem was, why it happened, what the solution was, and what the cost would be. (The final cost wound up being less than what he originally stated by $30-$50. Bonus!) He would have been done in about an hour from the time he arrived, but he had the company "loaner" van and not his regular van with its full stock of parts, so he had to go back to the shop for the part needed for repair. As it was, the total time spent on the actual repair was less than 1 hour, with total time from discovery of leak and initial phone call to completion of repair being about 2 hours. Once he completed the repair, and at my request, he provided a written estimate for other work which I want to have done but which I hadn't called a plumber for yet. The estimate is reasonable and very detailed. I will definitely be using Goode Plumbing for all of my home's plumbing needs in the future. My experience was excellent from start (Carrie listening intently and compassionately to me when she answered the phone) to finish (Eric diagnosing and fixing the problem without issue).

This is the second time in 2 months I've had them come out - for separate issues. They did a great job the 1st time, so I was happy to have them back. Once again, they were very punctual; in fact, Bob, the plumber they sent, called me nearly an hour early to see if he could come by then, as he'd finished with his previous call sooner than expected. Earlier worked fine for me, and he was there within minutes. The faucet replacement was done very efficiently, neatly and quickly. Bob was very pleasant (and put up with my nosy cat) and careful to use foot protectors in the house. Again - I'm very happy with the service and the price; I'll definitely call them next time I need a plumber!

the pipe to the exterior spigot of my house cracked. As a result, I had to shut off all water to the house. I called Goode on a Sunday afternoon looking for a Monday morning appointment. mike responded within an hour of my leaving a message promising to try to get me into the Monday schedule. Goode called the next morning confirming that I was on a waitlist to be serviced as soon as a technician became available. They called back shortly thereafter to confirm they were on their way. Brian from Goode arrived as promised. He thoroughly inspected the problem and explained his solution and pricing. He then executed the solution to perfection all the while explaining what was going on. When finished he even pointed out a couple of potential problem areas in the house that I hadn't noticed. In all, I could not be more pleased with the service that Goode Plumbing provided and I will certainly use them in the future.

Thank you, Member, for taking the time to write this review, as well as have us out to help with the issue. We do not advertise 24 hour/7 days per week service, but we try to help on the off hours whenever possible, especially in an emergency such as a bust pipe or other jobs that really cannot wait. I did call this Member back on Sunday night, but it would have been a few hours before one of our plumbers could have made it out, so he opted to wait until the next day. Because our schedule was already pretty full for that day, we did put him on a waitlist, and were able to accommodate him. I am glad that things went well. Brian has been with us for some time now, and is truly a very good plumber and a pleasant person to deal with in general.

Thank you for writing this review! This Member needed a water heater removed two days before Thanksgiving and a new one installed the day after, so that a new floor could be installed the day before that holiday. I was originally asked to reinstall the old water heater, but recommended that we replace it since her existing unit was very close to the end of its typical life expectancy. She agreed, and we installed a Bradford White water heater, which is made in the USA, and covered by our 6 year parts and labor warranty. I upgraded some of the piping and added a drain pan, new shut off valve and our full port drain valve kit. This water heater should last many years, and give efficient and reliable service. We appreciate the work very much!

This was quite an undertaking and took some time, as we were very much delayed by the city inspectors. All in all though I was very pleased with Mike and his team. Because it was such a big, expensive project, I sought a lot of quotes, and Goode was right there with a couple of other companies that have done a lot of these flood control systems in my neighborhood. Mike is super responsive and very customer-service oriented. My only issue is that my yard never really recovered from this process. It's important to remember that they are plumbers, not landscapers. The back fill process included filling the hole and re-sodding, which did take place. However, there was a lot of sinking and I had the guys out a couple times to add more soil and re-sod. What has still remained is a sunken spot in my yard where the system was put in. It's not a huge deal, but noticeable when looking. That minor issue aside, I would absolutely work with these guys again. We've had multiple rains since putting this in that have flooded the neighbors, and we've stayed dry. That along is worth the money we spent. While on the job all of Mike's employees were responsive and focused on making the customer happy. Don't hesitate to use them for your plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Goode Plumbing installed a flood control system in my front yard. The job included: all cast iron piping within the system, a pre-cast enclosure, installation of two back water valves, a 30-inch deep ejector basin, a Zoeller super duty ejector pump, copper pump discharge piping with brass check valve, excavation and back fill, and permit.

Thank you for having us install one of our flood control systems for you! We have put together a very reliable system, featuring several components as standard equipment that other companies either do not offer at all or offer as extra cost option. We use only excellent quality parts and materials for these systems. We do apologize for the yard issue-as you stated, we are much much better and plumbing than landscaping, but do try to leave things neat and clean. If you can call me in the spring, I will have a look and see if we can help out with that. Thank you again for the work, and for your very nice review here on Angies List.

I am comparing this service against the Scottish plumber. I called for a plumber to assess my problem. I have a leak in my basement and need to get someone to take a look and quote me a solution. The only vendor that has promptly come out and given me a quote has been the scottish pulmber and without charging me to do so. This place had somone answer the phone and actually say, "they may have to breakdown walls and ceilings" to find the answer and wanted a credit card right up front. Truly unbelievable! It would also take take 2 weeks to just have someon look at it. Does anybody want to work without screwing the customer anymore????????? All I want is somebody to quote the job. Scottish plumner did it with no problem and it took them about an hour to assess it. I have to wait 2 weeks for someone to do that from this company, Totally and absoultely unprofessional.

Member, I am very sorry that you were not happy with us-although it should be made clear that we did not do any work for this person. This member called and wanted us to come out and do an evaluation. We do charge a minimal fee for this, which does get credited towards any work that is performed. The reason we needed a credit card up front was because the member, the owner of the property, was NOT going to be on site. I feel this is reasonable-and in fact I have rental property out of state, and whenever I have to have a service person to do work there, they ask me for a credit card payment as well. We would not have run anything beyond the evaluation fee, which was given up front, without the owner's consent. We most definitely are a very honest company-take a look at our hundreds of other reviews, or call up any supply house in our service area and ask them management about our reputation. Just because we charge for our work, does not make us dishonest. We pride ourselves in taking care of our customers, giving an excellent warranty, and sending excellent technicians. We get the best technicians we can find, which means we pay them a fair wage and give them fair benefits. This does cost a little more, I agree, but this means that our clients are getting plumbers that are loyal to them and work hard to deliver a high quality job. Regarding being booked up for two weeks, keep in mind that this was an estimate, and I will say that we had a very busy past few weeks with customers who had urgent plumbing issues. We value each and every customer and potential customer, but I will say that we do try to make those urgent calls a priority over an estimate. I am very sorry that you feel dissatisfied with us. Our goal is the opposite of that, and hope that you would be kind enough to give me a call on (773)407-1884 to see if I can change your impression of us. Thank you, Mike Goode President, Goode Plumbing

This was a very long, very loud, and very messy project, but the end result was well worth the ordeal. I am exceedingly happy with how the project went, from beginning to end, although there were a few speed bumps along the way. The first speed bump was that the old (1940 era) flood control system was so large and so difficult to remove that it took several days longer than anticipated. The positive aspect for me was that the owner, Mike Goode, visited to see how things were going and to discuss options related to the project. After a few days of work, the lead technician, DeVille, felt that the initial plan to use the space from the old, indoor, flood control system might not be the best option. He recommended an outside flood control system, at a higher price. When I conveyed to the project manager, George, that I needed to stick to my initial budget, the response was very positive. There was complete understanding by all involved, and the project resumed indoors as initially planned. DeVille and an ever-changing crew of people assisted in the process of installing the flood control system. The workers were always exceedingly professional and considerate. They also seemed to enjoy and take great pride in their work. They took time to explain things throughout the process. The bad part was that the project, which had initially been scheduled to be about a week long, took over 2 weeks for the initial installation. There was then an inspection process before a cover could be placed over the flood control system. This cover was not installed until nearly a month later, which meant that it was about 6 weeks all told before the project was completely finished. The good thing is that the communication was consistent throughout the process. George, the project manager, was calling or texting me about things on a regular basis. I was getting daily updates from DeVille on the status of the job. I always felt like I knew what was going on and what was being done next. This communication makes a huge difference for me and is why I will continue to contact Goode Plumbing for my future plumbing needs. On a side note, the lead technician, DeVille was such a great guy, he even sang Happy Birthday to my 12 year old daughter on his last visit, which was the day before her birthday. The request was made because he would routinely be heard singing while doing work in the basement. Thanks to Mike, George, DeVille, and the rest of the crew for providing me with a dry basement!!

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you very much for the very nice review! This was, as indicated, to install an interior flood control to prevent flooding in the basement as a result of heavy rains. As we got into the job, there were some unseen issues that we had to work through. We did offer an option of an exterior flood control system based on our findings, but it did not fit within the member's budget, so we kept our original plan, and stuck to the price we quoted to get things done. This did take a bit longer than anticipated, but that can happen when dealing with conditions that cannot be seen upfront. Our goal was to deliver a high quality system for a price that fit the client's budget, even if it meant taking some extra time to get through some issues. I do apologize about the time-we are at the City's mercy in terms of inspections, however-which can indeed hold things up. Glad you enjoyed Develle's best impression of Sam Cooke as well : ).

I have had this toilet looked at and monkeyed with by several plumbers and handymen over the years. They all wanted me to replace it. Finally, someone who likes to repair vintage plumbing. Thank God for Mike. I didn't want to replace the toilet, than the floor, etc. I found the MAN for the job. He's professional all the way as you can see from the reviews. It took a long to clean to a shine and I am going to try to upload the pictures he sent me. What a lovely firm to work with.
Description of Work: Removed tank from 46 yr old Kohler toilet and replaced with all new brass fittings. Cleaned tank. Replaced flapper on Toto toilet that never flushed well. Lubricated outdoor faucet.

Thank you for having us over to look at that vintage toilet. Some of our customers know that I drive a stock 1931 Ford every day back and forth to work, and that just under half of our fleet of vans consists of forty year old, restored Volkswagen Buses. If we can keep those running smoothly and reliably every day, then we can probably handle the repair of your vintage toilet, faucet, etc. Several of us here are very good on the vintage fixtures-I enjoy working on those items and am happy to do it for our customers. In this case, the toilet had some repair attempts by other plumbers. I removed some incorrect parts, and rebuilt the toilet properly using brass, original style components. I cleaned a large amount of build up from the inside of the tank as well, and the toilet is now ready for many more years of reliable service. Thank you very much for the kind words and the review.

Within the hour, Goode Plumbing responded to my emailed description of the job. The company explained that a landscaping company would be more appropriate. I wasn't sure which type of specialist to contact so I was grateful for Goode's guidance.
Description of Work: Goode responded to my email promptly and lead me in the right direction.

Thank you very much for the write up here on Angie's List. As the Member has stated, she inquired about a drainage issue. This was on the outside of the home, and after hearing her description, I felt it may be more of a landscaping issue, and did not want her to have to pay for a service call that would not help her.

This was an inspection of a complete two flat building. We recommended a complete repipe of the building to correct the issues here properly. That would include new drains, vents, water supply, and other plumbing work in the building. While I will agree that this is a lot of money, it is not high for the work needed. To do things PROPERLY, this properly requires an extensive amount of plumbing. I appreciate your kind words about the plumber we sent to your properly, and about our company, but do feel that if you shop around and compare our pricing for the work involved, with our excellent warranty, you will find us very competitive indeed. We appreciate your having us out, and hope that you do get other, similar bids so that we can be of service to you!
