Excellent. First of all Mike was on time which is the best start to a great professional relationship. He was very professional and did not mind me learning from him so next time I can try to replace the valve and flapper on a toilet and clean out a body spray. Replacing cartridges in a faucet is something I will leave for a professional to do. Also very important is that Goode Plumbing gives a 1yr warranty on parts and labor. They are expensive but worth it since they do it right the first time. In the past I have had a handyman replace a faucet once which left me with a flood in the kitchen. I am sure that is not going to happen with Mike of Goode Plumbing.

Response from Goode Plumbing
We sent our plumber Mike Davis out to repair the fixtures at this particular home. He is a very competent plumber, and we your appreciation of his high skill level! Mike installed high quality replacement parts and backed up both materials and labor with a good warranty. I do agree that we may be higher than say a handyperson (we have to carry licensing and insurance that they do not have to. Also, it is actually illegal for a non licensed person such as a handyperson to do anything to your plumbing system other than the most simple repair). However, I am very confident that if you were to shop us against other licensed plumbing contractors, you would find us quite competitive. Thank you so much for the work as well as the very nice review! We truly do appreciate it.

I was smelling sewer gas and had several bids on my job by various companies. I think Angie's list is a very viable tool to really narrow down choices and make a final decision. I think reviews are extremely helpful and so I find it important that I give feedback as well to assist others! George came out on a Friday night which was already quite impressive! He was very thorough in looking at my problem and discussing the approach etc. He explained how the breaking open of the basement floor would work and the amount of flooring that he would need to crack open etc. He also told me that there is always a possibility of the unknown when you get down into the pipes and connections etc. and could result in more labor and breaking into a larger area of the flooring so that I would not have any surprises. My questions and concerns were answered thoroughly and I asked for a rough ball park figure, but I was given an actual quote that evening which was really terrific. The team was punctual and very neat and they were able to work within the small 3'x3' area and not upset anymore flooring. It will be very easy to replace the tiling. In addition to replacing the p trap, it was shown to me that a connecting pipe to my catch basin line had a crack in it and should be replaced. Cost $200.00 additional. This was very obvious and I of course wanted to get this done while the flooring was open etc. I liked the team and felt that they presented in a very professional way and made me feel confident that this company was as good as the many review that I had read!

Thank you very much. George, who is a great plumber and also our field supervisor, started this job and had additional help from Mike Davis, another plumber that has joined our team a few months ago. We are very happy that you were pleased with our service. I realize that people have very busy schedules oftentimes, and it means a lot to us that you took the time to write this review. I do hope that we can be of service to you again in the future!

The plumbing issues I needed to be addressed included a leaking toilet and a dripping faucet. When I called to set up an appointment, the receptionist was very courteous and helpful, asking for details about the problem, the type of fixture & etc., and I was able to get an appointment less than a week later, and given an arrival window of between 2 and 5 PM. On the day of the appointment, while out shopping, they called me around noon to let me know the plumber would be arriving shortly after 2 PM, giving me plenty of time to finish my errands and get home to meet him. Brian, the plumber who came out (right on time), was very thorough inspecting the fixtures. He prepared several estimates for various responses to the problems and discussed all the options, including the pros & cons, with me in detail, and even drew several sketches to help explain the specifics. The leaking toilet had several potential solutions, from replacing the inner workings to replacing the entire toilet. As I'm going to be renovating the bathroom next year, I opted to fix the existing toilet rather than replace it. The dripping faucet could not be repaired, only replaced, so I opted to put up with the dripping for now. Brian did not try to push any specific option, but gave me enough information to make intelligent choices. The cost of the agreed-upon work was $250 (after the Angie's List discount); I thought this was very reasonable. It was also a first for me; I've never had a plumber tell me up front exactly how much a repair would be. In the past (pre-Angie's List), all I'd get was a ball park estimate and a bill in the mail later (when they couldn't see my head explode). Once we'd agreed on what he was going to do, Brian immediately went to work. He was very careful to use shoe coverings, removing them when he had to go outside for parts and tools and putting them back on when he re-entered the house. He finished in about an hour and showed me what he'd done, again explaining all the nuances. When he left, everything was as neat and clean as when he first got there. Throughout, he was very professional, courteous and friendly. I am extremely happy with the service and the work; I highly recommend this company to anyone.

Thank you for having us over to repair your toilet! We appreciate the work as well as the review. Brian has been with us for some time and he is indeed a very good plumber, and truly cares about the clients that he serves. Brian completed the repairs to the toilet and backed up the work with a two year parts and labor warranty, as well as our lifetime warranty against defects in our workmanship.

I can always count on Goode to do a great job at a reasonable price. They are my go-to plumbers for my house and my parents house. They communicate very well, show up on time, and diagnose issues quickly. I trust them to do the work at a fair price. If you need plumbing work done, give them a call.

Thank you very much for your review. The price the member has stated here is our dispatch fee, which is credited towards any work done-and he has had us out several times, at both his home in the suburbs and his father's home in Chicago. Our most recent service call for this member was, as he stated, to replace his noisy standard ejector pump check valve, with a quiet type, which we recommend. Everything went well and we are happy to be of service.

MIke D. came to help with a pressure problem in our home. Through a bit of a discovery process we came to find out that I either had a disintegrating dip tube or an incorrect anode rod. This ended up being a much bigger problem and a case where I needed warranty work down by the water heater's service provider. Once that issue was taken care of, Mike came back after I called him directly to work on all of our clogged cartridges--on a Friday night after 5PM! Finally by Friday night we were able to take baths and showers after a week of army showers. We also noticed that our builder, Denmax, had installed the heater check valve upside down which is part of the reason we had this huge issue in the first place. Goode plumbing will be changing that out as well. Thank you to Mike for coming to our rescue. We'll have lunch ready!

Thank you so much for your review! We are very glad that the new water heaters are working well. These will surely give you many years of good, reliable, efficient service. We use brass fittings at the water supply connections to and from the tank to help prevent electrolysis (this method is much better at preventing this corrosion than the much more commonly installed dielectric unions), and a full port drain valve to help remove sediment during service intervals. Thank you again for having us over to do this work for you.

Like so many people, we endured the incredible rainstorm in late June that our current system couldn't withstand. Unfortunately, we had to seek professional assistance in not only repairing but preventing future damage. I had worked with Mike Goode before several times in my current house and a rental property, and without hesitation, I knew they were the ones. This did not stop me from getting quotes from other companies, but Mike's professionalism and value of the customer, ensured Goode Plumbing would get the job done. Since we were getting new wood floors provided by the insurance company, we wanted to make sure it never never happened again. This involved doing three separate projects including: installing a flood control system with battery back-up, connecting downspouts directly into sewer (instead of into an ejector pit) and installing drain tile. In addition, while having these professionals on-sight, we leveraged their time and ability to also run a new water line, change out some old faucets, clean and perform maintenance on our water heater, etc. All of these tasks were quite a project, but Mike Goode and his whole team were relentless in their pursuit of quality work. They worked non-stop over 1.5 months until this was done. I have never seen a company so competent, honest, dedicated and kind. This is not hyperbole, this is reality. An example of this is when they were attaching a new water line to an existing one. The line didn't end up working correctly, and Mike and his team came on a Saturday, worked late into the night and for no extra cost worked until it was done right. I know the value of Angie's list reviews, and from my and my wife's perspective, Goode and his team earned every positive review they've received and especially the one I'm sharing now.

Thank you SO much for the great review! We appreciate it very much. We have done several service related repairs for this Member as well as this recent large project, and besides the work, we also appreciate this member's great personality. He has been patient and interested in the work being done. This project included: -Rerouting cast iron downspout drain lines -Installing a flood control system in the front yard -Drain tile system -Repairing of several small items 9drains, faucets, etc) -Adding water supply to deck and garage. Since this review, this Member has also just rewarded us with the installation of a Rinnai tankless water heater. We are very glad that this member is happy with us-our goal is to leave each customer with this type of experience!

Thank you very much for your review. We properly rebuilt this specialty toilet. We come across a lot of toilet tanks that have improper or poor quality parts that were installed either at the factory, or by someone during a previous repair. When OEM parts are best, that is what we use. In many cases, we can actually improve over original quality and performance with some upgrades, which we will do when this is an option. We appreciate your review and the work, and are glad that you are happy with us!

Thank you for having us over! We appreciate the work and your review. Bob has, been with us for several years, and I am very glad that you were happy with him! The average life span of a good quality ejector pump is five to seven years-and since good quality pumps are not inexpensive, we were happy to deliver some good news in that regard. Thank you again for your kind words!

We were very pleased with the installation and repair service. The service people wear shoe covers when they enter our house (very important to me) and they clean up well after they are done with their work. I did not know that the shower handle was under warranty so Jeff bought the part and installed it. When the manufacturer sent me the part, Jeff made an effort to return for reimbursement the manufacturer-supplied part, but the dealer would not accept it. Then the part got misplaced at the Goode office. What impressed me was that they offered to give me credit for the cost of the part during the next service call. The part did show up eventually and it was brought back to me during the last visit last week. Also, when one of the toilets was being installed, Jeff noticed a very small scratch or crack on the toilet rim. He brought this to my attention and Goode ordered another unit. Since the imperfection was not easy to spot, Jeff easily could have just continued with the installation and be done with it. I appreciate the attention to the excellence in quality of service. A few of weeks ago, I noticed that there was excess silicone seal at the base of one of the toilets. I noticed it because dirt was sticking to it. The installation was done three months ago. I called Goode and they were very solicitous in getting someone to return to clean up the excess caulking after so many scheduling challenges. Mike the owner himself came and cleaned up the area. I might also add that Carrie the admin person (spelling?) is very good at following up. I have been so pleased with Goode that when my next door neighbors asked for another plumber recommendation, I told them about Goode Plumbing and I have gotten positive feedback from them. A relief since my initial recommendation did not work out for either of us and we (our neighbors and ourselves) still have unresolved issues with the other company.

Thank you very much for your review! We appreciate the work as well as your kind words. As this member mentioned, there were several items repaired. The shower valve was rebuilt, and the member received warranty covered parts at later date. I do apologize for the issue with the handle, but glad that we did locate it and that things worked out well. We do try our best to spot other potential issues and inform our customers, as was the case here with the toilet. Thank you also for the referral!

We contacted this vendor as he is near our condo that we rent out. We specifically advised the person who answered the phone when we called what the issue is, that our renter would be calling to set up a convenient appointment, and that before any repairs were performed that we wanted a call to give us an estimate of the cost. We left our cell phone number with the provider and indicated that we needed a copy of the receipt for the charge for the estimate and for any subsequent approved work performed to be mailed to us for tax purposes The vendor went to the condo at the appointed time, but then went ahead and repaired the problem without contacting us further. According to our renter, he spent about an hour there installing a new faucet cartridge and charged nearly $300 for the work. He left a copy of the receipt with the renter but never sent one to us. Our renter finally sent us the copy that he left and it explicitly says on top that the receipt should be mailed to us and includes our address as well as our cell phone number for the call for the estimate. In the end, the work was fine, but it was expensive, we were not contacted to approve work as promised, and we had to go to an unnecessary effort to track down a receipt. I assume that if this vendor comes to your home that you'll have more control over the situation, but given that this was at a remote location, you may have issues if your situation is similar.

Thank you for your review, and I am sorry that you had a few issues. I am glad of course that you were happy with our work, but of course I want our customers to be happy with all aspects of the service that they receive from Goode Plumbing. As the member stated, he is the owner and arranged with his tenant to let us into a rental unit. We do this regularly, and we very seldom have an issue. We do need to be able to get in touch with the owners to let them know what we find and the pricing and to get approval for the work. I spoke with both the member and the plumber that we sent out. I also looked at the invoice, and there was a note about mailing it a different address than the one we were servicing. My records do indicate that we mailed it out, so I am not sure why he did not receive it. My plumber could not recall if he attempted to contact the owner, as it was a month ago, to be completely honest, so there is the chance that we made an error here, and for that I do apologize. The price for the work was reasonable for the work performed. After speaking with the Member's wife, she did say that the price seemed high but she was not really sure what it should cost. I do realize that the cost of a licensed, professional plumber can seem steep, but I am confident that given our workmanship and quality, we are very reasonable. As I mentioned, we do the landlord/tenant arrangement regularly with very few issues, but since there was the chance that we did make an error in communication, I did work with the Member on making an adjustment to the invoice.

We had a small communication problem initially using email. When I telephoned and left a message Mike called shortly thereafter. He came the same evening & determined I needed a new cartridge for the cold water. Might as well change left cartridge as well before it becomes a problem. George came the next afternoon and installed both cartridges. Job was done quickly & cleanly. Faucets work great.

Thank you very much for the review. As the member stated, I came by later in the day, after the supply house that carried parts for this faucet were closed, so I took the faucet apart so that I could match the cartridge up the next day. After obtaining the part, I sent our field manager and excellent plumber, George, over to reassemble things. I am glad it all worked out quickly, and appreciate the work very much.

Thank you very much for having us over to install your new water heater. We try to do things a little different from the norm-we use brass fittings to connect the new copper piping sections to the water heater, to help prevent corrosion more completely than do the more commonly used dielectric unions. We replaced the factory drain valve with a full port valve to allow for more complete sediment removal during service intervals-which we recommend every year or so. We truly appreciate your kind words as well as the work that you rewarded us with.

I was having a problem with two drains in the basement at my Father's house. Every time it rained the drains would back up. I contacted Goode Plumbing and made the appointment to have someone come out and fix the problem. Bob D. showed up on tiime and listened to what I had to say. He determined that the catch basin needed to be cleaned and the main drain needed to be cleaned. Bob made the arraingments for the pump out for Friday and then came back on Monday to clean out the main drain. It took about four hours to finally get the drain clear. He even sugested I call 311 to have the city clean out the main drain in the street because thats where the problem I had was.

Hello and thank you for your review! Plumbing Technician Mike Davis went out and was able to repair this water heater after she and I exchanged some texts late the night before. While in many cases tankless water heater issues are installation errors, this one proved to have a dirty flame sensing rod, and was overdue for regular service including a complete flushing of the heat exchanger, which Mike handled while he was there. Glad things are working properly again!

We had purchased a hot water heater flush coupon - the work on that was done perfectly. We also had our water line that developed a pin hole leak in the elbow. Due to the awkward space (in the downstairs closet), it took a bit of time to correct the issue. The plumber also had to run out several times for the right part but did not charge us extra. Overall, we were very pleased and would hire Goode Plumbing again!

Thank you for having us over for the water heater flush and the repair. We recommend having your water heater flushed every year or, at worst, two. This helps remove sediment from the tank that can shorten the life of the tank, as well as cause issues with faucets. We recommend replacing the factory installed drain valve on the water heater with our full port valve, which allows for more complete sediment removal. We also appreciate your review here!

The other day I attempted to adjust the mixer in my shower as it was scalding people. It looked like a simple project?that turned into something much more complicated when the nozzle wouldn?t work any more to turn off the water. But it all ended ok as Goode Plumbing came to help. I called them right after I couldn?t get the water to shut off from the nozzle and had to shut off the water in the entire house. Mike got in touch with me within 30 minutes of calling to say that while they were booked, he was going to try his hardest to get to our house as soon as he could since we couldn?t turn on our water until this was fixed. He had me text him pictures of the issue so that he could ensure he had everything he needed. He was great about keeping me appraised of his progress all day and was able to come right around 5. Once there, I asked to watch as he fixed the faucet so I could see where I had gone wrong. He replaced the two Koehler parts and explained to me how they were actually difficult to figure out since they weren?t labeled at all. He also ensure we had all of the correct valves turned off. We?re in the bottom unit of a three unit building, so we have all of the shut-off valves. He also ensured that my original issue of the water mixing improperly was resolved and that everything was in working order, including advising us on how to fill a hole by the bathtub spout to ensure water wasn?t? getting into the wall. He showed me, too where the shut off valves for just the shower are for future reference. (Turns out the tiling company hadn?t cut the hole large enough so we couldn?t access them.) Mike was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I greatly appreciated him coming out on such short notice and ensuring that everything was working as it should. I would highly recommend Goode Plumbing, and we will definitely calling them exclusively in the future.
Description of Work: Goode Plumbing replaced the internal parts of a shower fixture that had broken and were no longer sealing. They also adjusted the water mixer to ensure the shower wasn't only releasing scalding water as it had been.

Thank you very much for rewarding us with the service call, and for taking the time to post this review! The Member called with the issues she mentioned with her shower. The model is question is a little tricky to work on-I commend her on getting as far as she did with it. Thanks to her text, I was able to make sure I had the parts on hand (I stock this replacement part but needed to be sure) since I knew I would not make it to her home while suppliers were still open. Once there, I replaced the needed parts with new ones, and put everything back together. The member likes to do some home repairs on her own, so I showed her how this faucet went together and explained what other valves in her mechanical room controlled.

WOW! What a great experience with Mike Goode. Sent the contractor an email with a requested time for service. His receptionist was out, but he made sure I was contacted and he was able to schedule the requested time, which was only a one day notice. He was here on time, completed the work efficiently and was very reasonable. We will definitely keep his name in rolodex for any future plumbing needs. Thanks Mike!

Thank you for this review! Yes, we were very happy to see Kerri back in the office after being on vacation for a couple of days-she is very good at her job, so thank you to our customers who were patient while our manager and myself handled the phones and service calls as well as we could while she was out. This was a leak under a kitchen sink that was repaired-we appreciate the very nice review as well as the work!

The shower works great now. When Mike came over for the first inspection, he was ready to get into it right away. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and effectively. The parts took a bit longer than expected to arrive, and when he came back to install them the first time, it was the wrong size. This was not an issue with Goode, but with the vendor for the valve. Mike was very apologetic, and was able to work around my schedule to get everything installed. I would definitely recommend Goode Plumbing.
Description of Work: We were having some issue with the hot water in our shower. It turned out to be the mixing valve. They replaced the valve and some other parts in the shower.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you for your review. This client called because he was getting some unusual water temperature changes at his kitchen sink faucet. Because all of the other fixtures in the home were getting normal temperatures, we felt that it was a defective shower mixing valve balancing spool. On the first visit, we turned the water off to the mixing valve that we felt, after testing, was causing this, and asked the member to use the kitchen faucet over the next couple of days. Sure enough, the temperature was normal-so we knew we found the issue. We returned with a replacement cartridge and installed it (after a second trip to our supplier, who had given us a close but not identical replacement the first time!), and set the temperature limit. These problems can be a little tricky to solve, and I am very glad that the result was what we were looking for.

Thank you for your review, member! As the Member has stated , we completed a home plumbing inspection at this home. This service includes the inspection of all readily accessible plumbing related items-toilets, faucets, valves, etc. We make a list of the condition of all items, and quote pricing for anything that we feel needs attention. This is a good service to have done if you are selling or buying a home, or if it has been some time since you have had your plumbing system checked, so that emergencies can be prevented.

Thank you, Member! We have done a couple of items for this client,so we appreciate the loyalty. The member had us out to rebuild a vintage tub and shower faucet, and to see if we could repair his tub spout. The plumber we sent did a nice job repairing the faucet, but the member stated he was not happy about the options for the tub spout. I went to the job the next day to see if I could help with the situation. We came up with a good quality solution, and since the job was not done to his complete satisfaction the first time, I did not feel he should be charged for a second trip. I am glad that things worked out well, and appreciate the review very much! Mike Goode

Bob came out and was friendly and professional from the moment he entered my door. Immediately put on shoe covers and did a walk through of the issues with me. Patiently listened to everything my wife and I had to tell him. Walked me through what needed to be done and gave me preventative tips along the way. My experience with Bob and Goode was fantastic from first contact through the end of the service call. I will be using Goode Plumbing and will request Bob specifically. Highly recommend them!
