John was professional, knowledgeable, personable and communicated well both in scheduling and trying to solve the problem. He graciously dealt with a lack of parking due to street cleaning. He tried multiple ways to solve the problem I was having with the sink but unfortunately the issue was with the main line in my building.

Thank you! John is a relatively recent addition to our team, and we are grateful to have him! We apprecaite your confidence in us-as you mentioned, John went through the steps to clear the drain, but it ultimatley ended up on a common area section.

Thank you for the kind words! We do not want anyone going without hot water! The water heater that we installed for you is of excellent quality, and should provide years of reliable service. It is backed by our full six year warranty-which includes not only parts, but labor, too! Thank you for allowing us to install this unit for you.

Ian and Matt were very helpful when they came to fix a broken pipe in my bathroom. They found the problem quickly and completed the job all in one day. They were prompt and came earlier than I expected. They made sure to clean up the bathroom spotlessly when they left. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Thank you very, very much for rewarding us with the service call! Not all drain lines are properly cleared with one simple run of a drain cleaning machine. Sometimes it is of greater benefit to hydro jet the line, or, as in this case, to rod it more than once. We are grateful for the work and your review!

They have consistently delivered top-tier work, always show up on time and have in general been one of the best contractors I have ever worked with-- I don't write reviews but they asked me to (after promptly fixing a minor issue for me today) and it only makes sense to let people know the high quality and professionalism here.

I had a mess of water and mold. Called them on Sunday, they came out on Monday, no biggie, I didn’t want to pay for emergency services. The $60 fee to come out is irrelevant when you need something done. They stated they wanted to cut into the wall to make sure it was not a foundation issue, the price went up significantly. Ended up finding out it was my water spigot!!! Kind of upsetting that they had to cut into the wall beforehand. But, peace of mind comes at a cost. I was all in at this point and ended up paying quite a bit to repair the issue, Not sure what an average cost would have been. My point of writing all this is to mention that sometimes when you need something done right away, you have to pay for it. They came out, were very friendly and knowledgeable. I wasn’t available but my wife kept me in the loop and I was able to speak to the gentlemen that came out. By all accounts the job was completed in a very thorough manner. They even offered up a company that they work with for restoration. I think it’s a solid company and they are very flexible and seem to be readily available for $60. I would definitely use this company again. If I have a complaint it’s the sales of added services. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Fix the issue at hand then give me a pamphlet with what your company offers. The longer you talk, the more I feel like all you want to do is get more money. I get that it’s a business, but some situations are stressful, I know my wife was stressed out about it considering I was not there to help. Maybe take that Into consideration. To end my long review. If you want something done and you need it done right now, don’t complain about the cost. Thank you Goode for your prompt response and for always keeping me up to date with when you guys would be able to come out. Communication was great. Solid company.

Thank you very much for your review! I am glad we were able to help out, and grateful for the work. We are open 7 days a week without an emergency fee during normal business hours, which includes Sunday from 8am-4pm. If we are booked up, we do offer evening services but there is an additional cost, but we do have it availabe for those in need. We are glad you were able to wait until the next morning to avoid the added expense. Regarding the additional services, we always try to offer options and go over other issues that we may find to prevent future issues including possible emergencies. As professional plumbers, it is our obligation to point out things that we see that may not be done properly, or are worn out or a potential issue in other ways. You should NEVER, however, feel pressured to do any of the other work unless YOU choose to. I will talk to the plumber that was out to make sure he understands how to properly deal with situations such as yours. Thank you again for the work, and for your review!

I think you have us mixed up with someone else. You sent your request last night at 5:56pm, not four days ago. We are 24/7. Our phone is on at all times. We do not always get emails or messages immediately-a phone call is still the fastest way to get someone out, whether you are calling a plumber or the police. We will call you this morning, but again, your review was made in error.

Drew and Carlos at Goode both got here lickity split when we had an after-hours leakage problem. They routed out the drain tile piping and broke up some major clogs that were causing the backup. They were quick with the repair and friendly and easy to deal with. I was encouraged to keep in contact with them if further problems arose with the issue.

Update: Mike Goode followed up with me personally after seeing my review. He looked into the situation and gave me a call explaining the error and refunding the $60 fee. Although the initial pricing was unfortunate, he was very professional about the situation. Much appreciated.__ I called Goode plumbing to get an estimate for replacing my leaking bathtub spout. I knew that it was still a $60 charge if I didn't end up using their services pending the estimate, but the reviews are pretty good on here and I was out of town, so I went ahead with it. The two professionals proceeded to give me an estimate of $832 to replace the cartridge....That's $832 for a job that would be done in less than half an hour with the right tools. I wish I had just waited until I'd be back in town to do it myself because that was just $60 down the drain. I went and bought a Moen shower/tub spout for $170, watched a video and did it myself fairly easily. I felt like they were price gouging me for a job they didn't want to do knowing they would still get their $60 to be in and out.

Response from Goode Plumbing
I looked into what happened and member, and does appear that our plumber did quote you an incorrect price. The price that he quoted you was for a specialty cartridge that is not a normally stocked item, which requires additional time as we would need to go pick the part up from a specialty supplier. The brand and model of faucet that you have is one that we normally stock, and would come at a lower price. I apologize for this error, and will be refunding you the $60 as well as issuing you a credit towards any future work should the need arise. We would like to make up for the inconvenience, and hope that you will give us the opportunity. I left you a voice mail as well. I will be honest in saying that we are a business and cannot do it for the $170 that you spent in parts, of course. Also, you do live in a multi unit building which houses not only other residential units below and next to you, but also a restaurant. Because of this, doing a repair such as this is actually illegal for you to do, because it puts the other tenants at risk of damage due to flooding. I am glad that things went well, but we have seen many of these repairs go horribly wrong for homeowners, who end up having to pay for damage to other units. I bring this up because this is one reason that we do charge a certain amount that is above what you would pay for materials: we have insurance that covers not only your unit but others as well should something go wrong. Also, as professionals, we spend years in classroom and field training so that we can do things in much less time that you are able to do. Additionally, there is not just on the job time-you are downtown, so it takes considerable effort and time simply to get down there, find parking, etc. We have other licensing, insurance, etc. that are required by law, as well as the fact that we provide our excellent employees with proper wages and benefits so that we are able to send only great techs to your home. Plus, we want to remain profitable so that we continue serving our clients for many years to come! I mention these things because I wanted you to understand that while you were able to do the work for the cost of parts and your time, there are real reasons that businesses such as mine must charge more. I am confident that given the fact that we do things professionally and correctly, abide by regulations and laws and run a legitimate business, and treat our hard working employees as they deserve, that we do deliver a great value. But we are also human, and it does look like a pricing error was made, and we hope that we can help make this up to you. My cell is (773) 407-1884 if you would like to call or text me. Thank you, Mike Goode

Response from Goode Plumbing
That is correct - we do not give prices over the phone. Why? Because we can't see the issue from our office, and we do not want to be inaccurate or make guesses. As professionals, we want to have to opportunity to make an accurate assessment of the issue or project. I have been in the plumbing industry for over 25 years and I cannot tell you how many people describe something over the phone, with good intentions, and once we get to the house, it turns out to be something completely different. And then, one of two things usually occurs: we often have to increase the price, which leads to a disappointed or upset client, or the client insists that we stick to the over the phone quote, and our company loses money on the job. Neither one of these are good situations. So instead, we come out to your home (or business etc), walk through the issue, explain what we feel is the best way to fix it and go over options and pricing. This way we know what needs to be done, and we can give you an actual quote and not just a guesstimate. There are companies out there that will price things over the phone. I know from experience that it is nearly impossible to be completely accurate so I must assume that these companies are willing to gamble on making a client upset or taking a loss on the job, or possibly getting lucky and being "close enough", but that is, in my opinion, a poor way to run a business as well as build a good working relationship with a client. I'm sorry if you feel that we deserve an "F" despite never having been to your home let lone perform any work for you, and wish you luck with having your plumbing issue resolved.

On two prior occasions I had plumbers fix my leaky drain (about $300 each time), and both times the leak came back. I'd let it go for years because it was in a seldom used bathroom, and I'd call plumbers periodically and they wouldn't call me back or show up for appointments. I was disheartened. I recently decided to find a plumber on Angie's List and these guys were phenomenal. I was not home but my wife says he walked her through everything he was doing and when it came time to fix he gave us two options. One was a $300 option that he said he couldn't guarantee would permanently solve the problem, and the other was the $1,700 option where he replaced all the stuff that wasn't installed correctly. I'd never been told there was an option other than the cheap fix in the past. I appreciate he gave us both options and explained the work as he went along. It was clear that the workmanship that went into this bathroom wasn't the best, but he fixed the actual problem and not the symptom like the other guys did. I don't remember the plumber's name that came to our house, but my wife does and says she will never use another company, and she will always ask for him. Honestly, I don't know if this is a good price or not. I marked it as fair because I thought it was just that. It was more than I was expecting to pay that day, but it's possible I could have gotten it cheaper had I shopped around - but maybe not. The quality of work and professional experience was worth it the price paid.

Thank you very, very much for the review! We are grateful for the work. There is usually more than one way to solve a plumbing problem, and part of our job is to go over those options and try to work with you on the best solution (however, doing something that could be considered "rigged" is not ever an option for us!). We are confident that our prices are very fair, and appreciate you working with us!

Leak was fixed fine. They didn't help me anticipate the need for a water shut off so I could communicate to residents, which would have been nice. I never got a receipt I asked for multiple times. They never followed through on an estimate they said they'd give me. Very poor follow ups and customer care. I would not use again.

Member, we are very sorry that it did take a long time to get the estimate to you. We were working on the estimate when the polar vortex struck, and we were working day and night trying to help folks with frozen and bust pipes. We called in several of our plumbers who were normally scheduled off, our dispatchers, manager, and myself (the owner) were working as hard and as fast as we could to get to everyone who had emergency calls, so we did have to put some estimates off until we could catch up. We did send the estimate, and hope that if we can be of any assistance, that you will consider us as we really do take each client very seriously. We do apologize for our dispatcher not asking for the water shut off requirement. This is something they are usually very good at, and I am sorry if they fell short in this case. Thank you again for having us out, and I am glad that the repair was well done.

During the extreme cold a couple weeks ago, we had a shut-off valve pull away from the pipe causing a water leak in our basement. Thankfully the damage was minimal and Goode Plumbing was able to come out that afternoon to fix the pipe. They were quick and professional, had all the supplies they needed with them, and cleaned up the work area. We were thankful to have found them.

Not very well at all/ Service person showed up to provide quote. He surveyed the needed items and prepared quotes. after preparing he showed them to me. He then, as agreed took a check for $60 for the service call to provide the bid. I was to get an email with bids so I could review as they seemed quite high. When after a day the buds did nit show up I called their office explained my disappointment that they took my $60 and did not provide service rendered. I got an email from the owner asking I call and he took pride in his customer service. I called a day or so later to his cell phone as requested however no return calland they proceeded to cash my check

Hi [Member Name Removed], I did not receive a message from you! I apologize for your experience and will call you right away. I am not sure what number you tried to call me at, by my cell is (773) 407-1884, and my office is (773) 930-3451. Thank you, After speaking with this Member tonight, I do feel that we dropped the ball here. We sent an estimate via email to him, but we had the email address incorrect. I did get that information corrected and re sent the quote. The member stated that he did call me back, but I do not have a message from him, but did speak with him this afternoon. The technician that we sent is a recent hire, and did not explain our pricing well enough, so I will make sure that this is clear as well. In all, I do agree that we had some missteps with this client, so we are going to refund his dispatch fee as well as make sure we make things right should he need us in the future. I truly appreciate him taking the time to speak with me, and we will continue to work every day on customer satisfaction. -Mike Goode

The agreement was I will pay $60.00 diagnostic fees and it will be applied toward the price (if anything wrong is found) and if I hire them it will apply toward the repair price. After the diagnosis was done and I made an appointment for them to come and fix on Friday December 7. I was ready to write him a check for the $60.00 at this point the gentleman (David) said my boss asked me to charge you $330.00 but I am going to charge you only $135.00. I asked him is this the price to fix the problem his answer was “No” this is for today’s visit

I apologize for the issue, and it seems that there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication. After speaking with the technician, he explained that he informed you that we would need to charge you the $330.00 to open drywall and further investigate before giving you a definitive answer as to what the actual issue was. While we do our best to determine the cause of things for the basic dispatch fee, this is not always possible. Sometimes problems are hidden, and rather than guess at what the cause is, we take things step by step so that we can help get things resolved properly. We did not end up charging you anything for this visit, but do apologize for any misunderstanding our our end.

Have been having trouble with our tankless water heater recently. It would work fine some days, then it would have trouble staying hot. Called Goode and they were able to accommodate the same day. Jake came by around 1:30pm. Looked at the unit and wasn't quite familiar with it. To his credit, he was not to be denied. The guy researched online from the manufacturer, was sent maintenance docs from Rheem to help figure out the problem. He was here for about 4 hours going through a number of different things to figure it out. After going through all that, he was able to solve the problem. Seems the issue was with the wiring. This is the kind of service that needs to be found everywhere in every aspect of life. The guy wasn't going to quit until the issue was solved. I would call Goode (especially Jake) again in a heartbeat for any plumbing issues. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the message! We have been installing and servicing tankless water heaters for years. There are a number of brands and many models out there, and now and again we come across one that is less common, but that does not deter us from doing our best to get it working again or providing maintenance on it.

Called Goode plumbing at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night. I was told that there would be a $250 emergency fee. I went back and re-read the "we are proud to announce WEEKDAY EVENING and WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS WITH NO EMERGENCY FEE! Yes, that includes Sunday!" I read the above quote to the plumber on call and he politely told me that this did not apply to night calls and he asked me to call back in the morning. 6:30 pm, in my opinion, is the evening and this statement on Angie's list is very misleading. If the NO EMERGENCY FEE only applies during work day hours, it should say so.

Response from Goode Plumbing
Hello, We apologize for any misunderstanding. Please read the statement again. As you said, our profile reads "WEEKDAY evening and WEEKEND"... This means what it states; That we do not charge for WEEKDAY evening appointments. We also do not charge emergency rates for standard WEEKEND appointments. However, you called at 6:30pm on a Saturday, which is a weekend evening. A weekend evening, just to clarify, is not a weekday evening, Weekend evenings/nights do come with emergency rates. Additionally, you did call us at 6:30pm, but if we do not have anyone available until say 9pm, we would still have to charge you the emergency rate even if it was during the week, because someone would, in this hypothetical case, not be available until night time. We do have extended hours to try to help those who need service during the hours that other companies may not be available, and to try to be reasonable in terms of our charges. We do have regularly scheduled appointments available weekday evenings and weekend day appointments with no emergency fee. If you call us on a Sunday at 2pm and we can get someone out by 4pm, for example, there is no emergency fee. However, please understand that our hard working technicians do have families and if we ask them to come leave those families and come to your home say by 7:30 or 8pm, which is the time someone would have arrived at your house the evening you called, it is only fair that they are compensated fairly for that. We did offer to come out Sunday morning, at regular rates. I apologize again for any misunderstanding, and hope this clarifies things a bit more for you. I will also modify the hours so that things are even more clear.

Goode Plumbing did a fantastic job. A plumber arrived at my house about an hour and a half after I called. He was very knowledgeable, explained everything he was doing, advised on how to prevent future issues, and cleaned up everything. With respect to a clogged sink, he rodded the pipe ten times to make sure it was clear (as compared to a prior plumber from a different company who refused to rod the pipes even once, saying that he didn't want to risk breaking them). He was very professional and clearly takes pride in his work. I have an old home with old pipes and am very happy to have found a reliable and high quality plumber.
