Both the owner and his plumber showed up on time and ready to work. The plumber (Develle) was very professional and a very good plumber. All his work was first rate and done quickly. Using Angie's list and Goode Plumbing was a great experience. Highly recommend (and ask for Develle).

Thank you very much for your review. This Member lives out of state, and I do know how challenging it can be to find a tradesperson you can trust when living far away. I appreciate your trust in hiring us to work on your daughter's condominium. This member also asked us if we knew a tile person, so we put him in touch with Gary Dayan at Xced Builders, who one can also find on Angie's List with high ratings. Develle replaced a broken sink basin and related piping. We appreciate the work very much!

The work done by Goode Plumbing LLC did not turn out very well. The knowledge was good, but the level of professionalism wasn't. I wouldn't say he was unprofessional, but there's a grey area. I told him I would like to have a report, with photographs. He said he was doing it with his phone. But when he sent the report, it didn't have photographs in it. It was just little things like that. It just seems like he was not as prepared as, like, say, my home inspector was. The report was very vague. It was more or less just a quote and it didn't have descriptions and everything. Because of that, we said we weren't going to use him because he's not thorough enough. If I'm going to spend upwards of $10,000.00 on something, I want somebody who's there. He didn't do what I asked him to do.

Response from Goode Plumbing
I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with us. We did not do any actual work for this Member. This visit was done back in November, but I have the emails that you and I exchanged. What you purchased was our basic evaluation. As we discussed, we also offer a very detailed, complete home inspection service, which does cost more but is much more comprehensive. Since you only wanted a few specific items quoted, we did not do the whole house inspection. When you have a house inspector out, they charge $300-500 typically. Our whole house plumbing inspection is $200-300 and includes photos, tests, etc. The basic evaluation that you chose is just that, and I do feel that I completed that properly. In one of our emails, in fact, I mentioned that I would be sending the quote and description for the work that we discussed, not photos and other information. I am always willing to do any service that I can to help our customers out, but from our discussion at the time, it seemed that what I was doing for you is what was asked. I am happy to be of assistance in any way that I can, so please call me anytime if I can do anything for you. My cell is (773) 407-1884. Thank you, Mike Goode

Mike and crew are an astounding group to work with. We were shopping around for a plumber to install flood control after we experienced backup sewage in April's rainstorm. Overall the job was completed very professionally and Mike and the gang did a good job with communicating with us throughout the whole ordeal. We had a few hiccups with permits which were quickly resolved (not Goode's fault from what we were able to find out). Mike offered us some sod to fix the yard since the project took longer than expected (due to permits) since all of the grass died under the dirt pile. Nothing to worry about in comparison to the good work, constant communication, and care they went through to get the project completed. I look forward to Goode checking up on the system yearly (prior to the rainy days) and would use them for future service needs going forth as they are a crew that can be trusted!

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you very much for your review, Member! I am glad that you were happy with us. This was the installation of a flood control system. We installed a very high quality system in the front yard of this Member's home. Our system includes all cast iron piping below ground within the system, two high quality back water valves, a heavy duty pump with an extra deep basin, and several other features. We back it up with a great warranty as well. There was delay, as the Member mentioned, due to a permit issue with our electrician in Lincolnwood, which we resolved with them as quickly as one can get them to do it (the permit and inspection process in some cities and villages can be challenging, but we work to get things done!). I do appreciate this Members patience while we worked this out. The job was inspected and all went very well at the end. We installed sod around this area and added a special outlet that will allow this Member to connect a generator to the pump in the flood control system should a power outage occur. Thank you again for allowing us to do this work for you, and for your very kind review.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't want everyone to know how amazing Goode Plumbing is. I like getting in reasonably quickly. But not reporting on them would be wrong. I've now had experience with every single plumber there : Mike (the owner,), Jeff (who installed my Reverse Osmosis filter,as well as drilling the hole for the filtered water faucet in my stainless sink and granite counter,) Deville (who has fixed various drains and toilets,) Bob (who rodded a front outdoor drain and changed a cartridge in my kitchen faucet,) and Ed (who fixed a toilet handle and several leaking faucets, which needed new ceramic cartridges.) Here's why I LOVE this company. Everyone is nice and normal. They really really know plumbing. They wear shoes protectors when they come inside, and they wash their hands after working with dirty stuff, so they don't spread e. coli all over your house. After fixing everything beautifully, they clean up after themselves. They are, in short, everything I want in a plumbing company or plumber. Do they cost more than hiring an off-duty plumber, who arrives on Saturday, with her kids, because she has no childcare and stays all day, because she's not exactly sure what's going on? Yes (And yes, I've done that to save money.) However, it's now worth it to me, to have my plumber know their stuff, be timely and respectful of my time, and use the highest quality components. And they have a lifetime warrantee on their work. I've used them a lot recently because our house appears to be wearing out, but they're helping me fix everything. I think I found them initially on Angie's List. And, they have an Angie's List coupon that they honor (of course.) I love them. I know nothing about plumbing, but I feel happy that they're in business, so they can take care of me.
Description of Work: I finally met the owner of Goode Plumbing today, Mike Goode; he fixed my leaking and splitting kitchen faucet gratis. Admittedly, It took him a just moment, but still.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you SO much for the glowing review! All of the guys here, as well as our receptionist, work very hard and take so much pride in their work and care about our customers, it is very nice to read a review like yours. We normally try to send the same plumber back to each customer, but sometimes things become more urgent and we may need to send a different person if the job or issue cannot wait. And some of us specialize in certain areas of plumbing, of course. As far as getting in quickly, we do stay pretty busy but do our very best to get to everyone in a timely manner. And for our repeat or regular customers, we really make that a priority. I am also looking for an additional plumber to help get everyone taken care of without a minimum wait time-but will say that I am very careful about who I hire so there is quite a bit of research done so that we ensure we hire the right plumbing technician to keep our customers happy. Thank you again for your very nice review, as well as for the work you have rewarded us with.

I was extremely pleased with this comapny and the total experience. The office representative was very helpful in setting up the consultation/estimates and the installation scheduling, as well as helping with other deatils. The plumbing crew arrived on time. They were polite, neat, professional and thorough in both the installation and the clean up. The new hybrid/tankless Eternal brand water heater (one of three they recommendned) has performed beautifully. I am very happy that I went with this upgrade in my home water heating system and extremely happy with Goode.

Thank you for rewarding us with the installation of the hybrid water heater! We have a lot of experience servicing and installing these units, as well as tankless water heaters. The unit that you chose should provide you years of reliable, efficient service. Eternal has made improvements recently in several areas to make their units more reliable and longer lasting. Proper installation is very important with these units. My plumber, Jeff, handled this particular installation and he does a fantastic job on them. I also appreciate your kind words about the office representative, Judy, who truly cares about taking care of our clients. Thank you again for the work, and for taking the time to write your review about us.

Mike, the owner, stopped by within the window he was supposed to arrive. It was on the later end of the window, but can't really complain about that. We walked through the house and I showed him everything that needed fixing. Much of the stuff he was able to check out as I was showing him and fix it on the spot. Mike fixed everything very quickly and cleaned up when he was done. The price was a little more than I anticipated, but for the quality of work done and the feeling that I was working with a responsible professional, made it worth it. Thanks Mike. I will definitely call you again if I need to but I hope I dont have to.

Thank you, Member. I appreciate the work! We ran through a list of small service related items that all went pretty well. Having a plumber in one's home can be a little pricey, for sure, but I am being honest in saying that you got a very good value for the work done. I am always surprised when I bring my car in for something, so I can relate. Thank you again for having us out!

I called Goode plumbing on Thursday morning to set up an estimate to install our new kitchen faucet. I was told that there was a possibility that some time would open up that afternoon as they would be in our area. Sure enough, I received a phone call that someone could stop by and provide an estimate. I was given a 15-minute window (!) and exactly on time, the plumber (Michael) showed up. From the first moment, he was professional (courtesy call at arrival, introductions, booties at the door, mat laid down before work conducted, EVERYTHING cleaned up post job), very nice and did excellent work. He quoted the job up front, including the time frame, and that is exactly what I paid and how long it took. He took away the old faucet and boxes for the new faucet. While this was a fairly straightforward job, the competence exhibited at every step clearly suggested that more complicated plumbing work would not be a problem. I will use Goode Plumbing again and highly recommend them.

We were very pleased when the plumber showed up early for his scheduled 8 am service appointment. He was actually 1/2 hour early, but waited in his truck until 5 minutes to 8 and then rang our doorbell. He was very polite and professional and was very familiar with our Angie's Deal. However, after assessing both jobs that needed to be done, he advised that a different coupon available on the site would actually offer us more savings! We were able to print it out and used that instead. He quickly took care of the culprit sponge in the toilet, having to remove the toilet to get it out. Everything was put back together and cleaned up nicely. Next came the outdoor faucet. This was more complicated and needed additional parts that he did not have on his truck. So he suggested that he would just run to the nearby Home Depot to get the part and be back shortly. We agreed, and off he went. The Home Depot is literally 5 minutes from our home. He was gone for an hour and a half. We were getting a little worried, when he finally drove up to our house again. Since it was around lunchtime, we assumed he had stopped for a bite to eat, but it would have been nice to know that. Instead we were waiting at home all that time! He offered no reason for the long delay, but just continued with his work. The faucet was repaired and tested and was in perfect working order when he was done. We also asked for an estimate on replacing our hot water heater. It is a standard 40-gallon gas hot water heater. The plumber explained how they use only brass fittings, all copper piping, etc, etc. And then he gave us a quote of $1454.50 if we purchased a standard vent Bradford White gas hot water heater from them and have them install it, and $878.50 if we purchased our own water heater and they only do the install. We thanked him for the estimate, paid him for the repair, and he left. Now that estimate seemed pretty expensive, and the repair cost was rather steep too. ( $490.00 even with our Angie's List discount) .We ended up buying a very good Whirlpool water heater (based on a Consumer Reports' Rating) from Lowe's and having it installed by their contractors. All for $ 785.00. They did a great job, were in and out in less than 2 hours, and we've had no problems at all. I think Goode Plumbing is a reputable establishment, but their prices are very high.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you for your review as well as the work. I am glad that you were happy with our work, but disappointed of course to see the issues that you did have with us. I spoke to the plumber who was out there. He did tell me that the Home Depot near your home did not have the parts that he needed, and he ended up having to drive a farther distance to find a plumbing supply house (which we prefer anyway, as the quality of the parts is generally greater). This is why he took a bit longer to get back. He definitely should have called you and let you know he would be gone longer than anticipated, and for this I do apologize. We covered this in our meeting this morning (we have a meeting every day before we head out to jobs), so this certainly should not be an issue in the future. Regarding price, please understand that I will never claim to be the lowest priced plumbing company in the business. Our standards of work are high, we back all of that work up with a great warranty and customer service, and use high quality parts and materials. Running a legitimate, licensed, insured. plumbing business does cost a fair amount of money. I do feel that the price my plumber charged you was fair, but as always, I am only a phone call away with ANY issue any of our customers have, day or night. That number is (773) 407-1884 (cel), or (773) 463-7858 (office). Regarding the water heater, not all water heaters are created equal, nor are their installations. Just as not all cars cost the same as each other, one needs to look at features, warranty, etc. when comparing. I looked at my plumber's invoice, and there are certain features that are simply not available or included with the home center you used. As a plumbing company that is very focused on special projects and service work as opposed to new construction, I get to see what brands fail more often than others, what models are more efficient, reliable, etc. Which is why we carry the Bradford White brand water heater that we do. These water heaters are built up to a standard, rather than down to a price, as is the case with many of the brands that I have seen come out of home centers. We believe in this water heater enough to back up it's parts warranty with a matching labor warranty. This means if a part fails in two years, or five years, we not only provide the part at no cost, we install or repair it for no cost as well! Also, it would be installed by us, a Licensed Plumbing Contracting company-a license that is required by law whenever a plumbing fixture is disconnected from the water supply such as a water heater. We use brass fittings instead of flexible connectors or dielectric unions, and install our full port drain valve. The piping will be neat and clean . Our installations take 3-4 hours on average, because that is what it takes to do a proper, professional installation. I hope this explains things, and that you can use this to help compare our installation vs what was performed by the home center installer. Again, I am appreciative of the work you have rewarded us with, and hope that you will consider using us again. I am available as I mentioned above, if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you, Mike Goode

Thank you for writing this review on us, as well as rewarding us with the repair! Whenever we replace a section of water supply piping inside a customer's home, we use new Type L copper hard drawn tubing-this is considerably thicker walled and more durable and long lasting than the commonly found Type M copper. We use brass fittings in between new copper and existing galvanized (if applicable) fittings for excellent protection against corrosion at this connection. We appreciate your having us do this work for you!

Update: Apparently the $300 charge was for something the phone rep thought I needed, In the end the owner called me to find out what had happened, and I described to him what happened about the cost of the quote, We worked it out, I don't know if I described my situation poorly or if the rep on the phone misunderstood me, but it was worked out in the end. After he described to me what the $300 inspection fee actually was, I can defiantly see where the misunderstanding came from. After they come out for the quote and/or hired to do the work I will update/rewrite this review to give a rating that Goode Plumbing deserves but as of now there is no bad info, I just don't see the delete button to delete a useless review.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Thank you for your review, and for returning my call. Initially, this Member called and wanted some items looked at for an estimate. My receptionist though the was looking for a complete home plumbing inspection. This is a service that we provide that includes checking each and every toilet, faucet, valve, accessible piece of pipe, etc from the main shut off valve to the last fixture. We test every item and even make small adjustments here and there. We then write a report up with what the condition of each of those items are in, price up any repairs that are needed, and turn it over to the howeowner. This is what my receptionist thought this Member was looking for, and gave him a price for it (we run a special "Big Deal" on Angie's List for this). I spoke with the howeowner, and we both agreed to have me out to do an evaluation first and take things from there. I enjoyed speaking with this Member on the phone, who was good enough to praise our receptionist, Judy, and allow me to come out and see what his project entails.

OUTSTANDING! From the first visit to give me an estimate to the finished product, everything was perfect. The price was absolutely fair, the materials used were high quality and the workmanship is superb! Develle was the technician who worked on our project and I can't possibly think of how he could have been better. He was professional and thoughtful, even worrying about shoe covers every time I asked him to come in to the main part of our home for the paperwork. He explained in clear terms what he was going to do and why and after the work was completed made sure that I understood each element in the installation. I will definitely be calling upon Goode and Develle on future projects that I am already working out in my mind as I type this! I am always tentative about working with contractors and Goode and Devlle have now placed the bar that much higher for any other trades I call on non-plumbing jobs. Thank you Goode, your reputation is well-deserved and thank you, Develle, you're truly a professional.

I gave a B for responsiveness because the first time I called I got the answering service. I did get a call back I believe from Mike to inquire about the service, he said he did not have his calendar at the job he was at and that he will call me back the next day which was Saturday. I never got a call back at all (I waited until Tuesday). I did call them back because of the good reviews they have received on Angie's list. This time I talked to the receptionist & she apologized & scheduled someone to come to the house. Bob came at the appointed time, inspected the flood system & discovered that the switch to the ejector pump was not working (probably shorted from the flooding). He said he has a pump available & could install now gave me the cost and even gave me the 10% Angie's list discount. He was professional & polite & did not mind that I was asking all kinds of questions. I would use them again in the future.

Thank you very much for having us over to replace your ejector pump. We installed a Zoeller all cast iron unit, which we warranty for three years, covering both parts and labor. Our pumps also come with our anti overheat kit. I do apologize about the response-our receptionist who does the scheduling is in from 8am until 4pm. After that, all calls come to me, and usually I am out in the field on jobs, and do not typically do the scheduling. It looks like you called after hours on a Friday Memorial day, but as I was in the office on Saturday, you should have received a call with the schedule-my apologies if that did not happen. I appreciate your patience and am glad that you chose our services. I appreciate that and your taking the time to write a review of us here. Mike Goode

Ed was wonderful.! I will be requesting him for all my future plumbing needs. He fixed my toilet that many other plumbers could not figure out or did not wish to work on. It was a tricky process but Ed took the time to figure it out and get the job done right. He was such a pleasure to work with. He is very personable and takes a huge amount of pride in his work. Thank you Goode Plumbing, my toilet is beautiful!

Thank you for rewarding us with this work! Vintage plumbing fixtures and systems can be tricky. I have worked on many, many of these items over the years and really know them well. Ed also is very good on these-in fact, Ed loves vintage plumbing like others love vintage cars or antique watches. While some plumbers may not want to touch a century old toilet or faucet, Ed can't wait to start working on these things. I truly appreciate your business and your taking the time to write a review of use here. Thank you

Company was quite responsive when it came to scheduling an estimate and providing the necessary paperwork for the condo association. They were always punctual and were very patient when we needed to wait for the building maintenance supervisor and for water shutoffs. I believed that one of the valves was seeping a little at the connection after it was installed. It was such a small amount that I was unsure whether it was residual water or that the connection was a couple degrees short of being water tight. I called after hours and they got back to me quickly and offered to stop by later that evening to take a look at it. I declined as I was not 100 percent sure whether the valve was actually leaking or not. I'm actually still not sure if it is or not because because of the changing weather conditions and whatnot. I'm eventually going to have the sink installed (which I very well might use Goode for) so I'm not concerned about a small seep that can be looked at when that other work is done. Also, because the job took less time than they estimated they reduced the charges. The B for price isn't indicative of dissatisfaction with their pricing so much as it is with the cost associated with a relatively simple job. They charged pretty much what I would expected for the cost of a professional plumber.
Description of Work: Removed old cleanout and extraneous plumbing from kitchen hookup. Removed old shutoff valves and replaced with new shutoffs.

Thank you very much for the review as well as the work. I do recall taking your call after hours regarding the valve. Sounds like it is most likely fine, but of course if it turns into an issue, I am happy to come have a look at it. I also appreciate your explanation of our pricing-our pricing is very competitive for the work that we do, but I do agree that having a professional plumber in one's home is not often inexpensive. Thank you again for having us over and for your consideration for your sink project. Mike Goode

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. They didn't do as good. There were a couple of issues but we were able to work through them with the owner and we got everything taken care of. We probably wouldn't recommend them again. It was satisfactory. We hope there were no issues after we left. The work was done a couple of weeks before the closing on the house so we don't know about the value of the work. There was some confusion with the way the coupon was written or what the tech thought. My husband was under the impression that the coupon was worth something and the guy that came out said it wasn't. In the end the guy said he would honor it. We were able to get it resolved. In the end the price wasn't initially what he had said, we had to pay some additional but it wasn't really substantial. We probably wouldn't use them again.
Description of Work: We used Goode Plumbing to do some plumbing things on our old house before we closed on it. It was a water hose connection in the garage that would leak when we turned it on and they fixed it.

Goode did the job professionally, on time, and exceeded all our expectations. The water pressure is great and the install was done with a minimum of intrusion or damage. Because the work was done while we were out of town Jeff kept us updated throughout via email.

Thank you very much for allowing us to complete your plumbing project. As this Member mentioned, there were a variety of tasks including installing a new water heater and replacement piping sections, as well as several smaller repair items. Thank you so much for your kind words-all of our customers mean a great deal to us and it is good to hear that you were happy with us.

Response from Goode Plumbing
I am sorry to see this review up here! When a customer calls, we give them a pretty close time window (about two hours) on the schedule, so they are not left waiting around. We do our very best to be accurate and keep the customer informed on how we are looking in regards to that time slot. This member needed a time slot that unfortunately was not available "for certain" for a week and a half. My receptionist therefore offered to put him on a wait list for that time slot in case one of our plumbers freed up in time to make it. Again, we value our customer's time, so we would not promise something we did not know that we could deliver for certain. I hate to put anyone on a wait list, but would rather be up front and do that than promise to be there at a certain time when our schedule was looking booked up for that slot. Our business consists of a lot of service calls that can be hard to predict until we see this the situation, which is why anything after the first call must be put into a time window. The majority of people that we do put onto the wait list do indeed make it onto our schedule, in fact! If someone really needs and wants our great service, I go above and beyond in any way that I can to get them in. I have worked well into the night, on Sundays, etc, if someone has something cannot wait-and we understand that a plumbing emergency cannot usually wait. We are currently hiring another plumber to help get everyone in. I am very particular about who I hire, as our customers are so important to me. I am sorry that we were not able to be of service to you this time, but would like the opportunity to be of help in the future. Please contact me if I can make this up to you on (773) 407-1884.

I was happy with them. He was not able to solve the problem. He was here for over two hours. He said I could get a second opinion, but he didn't charge me any more than the Big Deal price. He had quoted me $250 for the routing and cleaning the drain. Since he was not able to solve the problem, he said he wouldn't charge me. I was happy with that. He said they could not figure out the problem unless they opened the entire wall up to see where the problem was. They gave me a nice appointment. The customer service and everything was very nice. I was very happy with that. You know, in those old houses, you never know what's inside. They came the very next day after I purchased the Big Deal. I cannot hold against them in any regard. They did their work. He did the routing, but it was still not clean. It was not draining well. It's not until he opens up the wall that he could do anything, and I was not ready to open up the wall.

Thank you for the review. Not sure about the "B" overall when all of the individual ratings are "A"s, but I appreciate your having us over to do the basic dispatch/investigation of the initial issue. I hope that we can be of assistance to you in the future! Thank you, Member.

Jeff came out to the house to discuss what we wanted done. He was very professional and friendly. We wanted the current water heater tank removed, replaced with a tankless system and a couple runs of unused natural gas lines removed. We have a small house and all plumbing fixtures are low flow. Jeff found a system with the lowest activation flow rate and came back with a helper to do the work in a couple weeks. They did the work in a day and cleaned up after themselves nicely. We are very happy with the new system and the work they did.

Thank you for the review that you took the time to write, as well as for rewarding us with your plumbing project. We installed a Rinnai tankless water heater for this client. Jeff does a fantastic job installing these, using a mounting panel for a secure installation, and installing a valve kit for easy maintenance in the future. The unit that we installed is one that we have installed quite a few of, and they have proven over time to be a reliable water heater that is efficient and compact. Since this was installed, we have also done drain cleaning for this Member. Thank you for your loyalty!

It was great. They were exceptionally responsive. One particular guy did all the work and then he became my personal plumber. The idea of contacting plumbers just scared me because they all say something different. I just felt like I was getting a very fair shake. The guy who worked on my stuff was named Develle Wilson and he was awesome. These were all done on four different visits. One to evaluate, and then, each of the items we took separately, in order.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from Goode Plumbing LLC. for $25 for a plumbing evaluation. I used them for replacing a sump pump, replacing an ejector pump and later re-installing a new hot water heater after we had flooding in our basement.

The representative they sent to my home was fantastic. They made special arrangements to meet my schedule which was greatly apprectaied. 'Cadillac' was professional timely and very knowledgeable. I definitely walked away with a better understanding of what I can do in order to help guarantee the integrity of the pipes in my home and he left me with a series of things to watch out for which is exactly what i was looking for. We will be using their service again in the future.

Thank you very much for the kind words and for rewarding us with the call for a complete home plumbing inspection. Our inspections are very complete-we start and the main water supply coming into the home, and go through every fixture, faucet, valve, etc, to make sure there isn't anything that needs attention. If we do find something that is not in excellent working order, we make a note of it for you and explain what needs to be done, along with the cost of repairs. I am glad our plumber explained everything to you as needed!
