McDonagh & Sons Plumbing & Sewer Inc

Good.

Great!

They were great overall!

See above. Job well done.

We had Patrick come out twice in the past two months. First, after the storm in July, we realized that our pump in our front yard flood control failed, resulting in our basement flooding. Patrick came out quickly to replace the pump. He knows what he's doing. He's been in the business for over 10 years, and he's a truly honest guy. The pump and the installation ran us about $500 bucks. Then, we most recently called him because we noticed a coroded pipe in our basement which was leaking. He said he was going to come out during the day, but didn't show up until dinnertime. One thing I would have appreciated if he would have just called my husband or me to let us know he wouldn't be able to make it until later. But, it wasn't a big deal at all, the work got done and it looks great. I also appreciated when he came out to give us an estimate on the leaking pipe that he checked our pump in the front yard, without us even asking! I thought that was really nice amd showed me that he's looking out for his clients.We will definitely call McDonagh and Sons in the future.... but hopefully not too soon! :)

A good experience.

They seemed honest and fair with their prices.

I am not the type of person that normally writes a review but I was so impressed with this company. I had previously hired a contractor to fix an issue with a toilet that flooded my interior walls and basically ruined my basement Bathroom. I spent a lot of money fixing the plumbing problem that caused all of this damage. The Contractor just finished all of this work in June. So I was very surprised when my tenants called and said they were having problems with the toilet and the leaking faucet in the Tub. I called Pat McDonagh and he called me back within an hour and was at my house within an hour of our phone call to give me an estimate. I felt he was so honest and on top of it that I hired him on the spot to do the work. A couple hours later he had fixed the problem that the other contractor created. He was very straight forward and the price he quoted me was the price I paid. I will definitely use him in the future.

Because of the area they did not have room for second pump. Also because of some more work that wasn't known until they hole was dug they had to charge more than the quoted price. Also they one worker said they work come back on Saturday to finish but did not come back till Monday. To be fair the owner said that he thought I was told they would not be back till Monday. The original quote was for 3800.00 And the finish was almost 4700.00. Overall I was OK because I thought the price was pretty fair to begin with. I am also still waiting for a receipt of the bill., I will contact them to remind them. I would contact them for for a quote on any work in the future and maybe use them if the price was good.

We have a 60+ year old house with a plumbling system from H*#L and when we got hit with the last flood from the Chicago City sewer system, we decided to have the overhead sewer system installed. Patrick came in and gave us an estimate of the work to be done. We called him back after having a number of other estimates, signed the contract with him and they went to work almost immediately. I found a lot of plumbing services that were not licensed and bonded, but seeing that McDonagh and Sons ARE we felt comfortable choosing them. They showed up on time and ready to WORK! Patrick is so particular he took the material with seals he didn't care for and scraped away the bonding/glue (?) so he could use better quality material. He told me his name means everything to him and he showed this was true in everything they did! They finished in three days. Usually it would be two, but we kept adding more work to the load and my senior citizen husband kept trying to be the big boss. LOL I am telling you, these guys are like saints to put up with my hubby! No, I am not a family member of theirs, but by the time they're done you end up feeling like you are! bg

It went great! McDonagh & Sons is the plumber that my contractor uses, but I am reviewing them individually because I feel they went above and beyond on our job. They did the general plumbing very well and quickly then came back in their free time to install my washer and dryer - this is not a part of their job, they were just very willing to help me out. I really appreciate it and will use this company again for any plumbing needs I may have.

I made an appointment with McDonagh to install a faucet, as I had a new sink installed with new countertops. Another company installed the sink and countertops but could not reconnect the faucet, and they told me that's all that needed to be done. When McDonagh got here they realized that this was not a simple faucet reconnection, but I needed new pipes, a reconnection of the disposal, and I had some parts missing from the previous installation, etc. Instead of a quick half hour job they were looking at 3 hours of work. They had another important job to get to, but since it was Friday they didn't want to leave me without water in the kitchen for the entire weekend till they could come back. They completed my job while constantly fielding calls to keep the other job going and on time, trying to keep two customers happy. I very much appreciated the effort as they could easily, and accurately, have told me that they were not given enough information to schedule the time needed to complete my job. I would have been without water in the kitchen for 3 days if they hadn't made the extra effort.

Patrick and Tara (the owners) were great. They came over immediately, and got to work straight away. Everything went according to plan. The price paid seems very reasonable for the amount of time that it took them to clean out my very full catch basin. A previous plumber who had jetted the lines wouldn't clean out the catch basin but Patrick and Tara would. I was so impressed, I am thinking about having them back for some more work. I am very happy with the work performed.

First, they were on time. And the one time they were 15 minutes late, they called to tell me. The faucet I wanted mounted was over 4 feet long on the wall and had to hit a certain section of the floating sink at exactly the right place. They had never installed anything like it. Centimeters mattered. They took that request to heart and spent a lot of time measuring and checking figures over again to make sure it was perfect, and it is. It looks simply amazing. They checked with me repeatedly to make sure they were on track with what I wanted. They even polished the old pipe that leads from the wall to the new toilet so it would all look new. Very very nice guys that care immensely about their work.
