I believe waiting for a recommendation is worth the inconvenience. But a call back from Seth or his office would have been appreciative and would show professionalism. Due to the silence, I called another plumber from Angie's List and he stated he would respond tomorrow, Friday. Word of mouth carries the best or the worst and I don't think EJ Gallagher Plumbing lived up to their "A" listing. I did receive a call from Seth at 4:45 pm on Thursday but I stated I had already called someone else.
Description of Work: I called and got the answering service on Monday, March 2, 2015. She explained that Seth was out of town until Wednesday night. I told her that I needed a bathtub drain repaired and could he call me Thursday morning, that I would wait until then. He was referred by a friend and past plumber. I called back Thursday morning at 9:30 and was told Seth was not available but she would give him the message. I am writing this review at 4:00 pm since I never received a call.

Description of Work: Replaced the cartridge in a 45 year old shower faucet that had been leaking. Two bathrooms had been tiled and the toilet drain was now lower than the floor. Seth had to remove the old collars from the draining pipe and replace them with two new ones raising the drain to above floor level. Installed a new toilet and reinstalled a second. He replaced the main shut off valve for the water to the house since it would not shut off completely. Replaced the bathtub drum catch for a bathtub that was leaking. Seth did an excellent job. He is very neat and professional. Great work!

Replaced the garbage disposal very quickly. He spent more time on the water heater than he expected to, but only charged us for 30 minutes. We've had them do various work for us for over twenty years and have always had good service and results!
Description of Work: On this visit, they replaced an old garbage disposal. The also repaired the water heater (replaced a bad thermo-couple).

Gallagher was there on day they said and performed the work in 4 hours. Everything they did is in working order and was done professionally. The only complaint I have is on the business side. We asked for an estimate based on the scope of work. When we got the bill it was 70% higher than the estimate. We ended up settling for a compromise in between but was disappointed with such a huge discrepency.
Description of Work: 3 things were done: 1)Toilet kept leaking so we had Gallagher new lead pipe a flange to finished floor and reinstall toilet. 2) Snake the kitchen sink pipe since it was blocked 3) Repipe the trap underneath sink since it was leaking

They were very good. I liked their demeanor. They were quick to respond and they came when they said they would. The people who came out to do the work were excellent. The quality of work was excellent too.
Description of Work: I used E J Gallagher & Sons Plumbing for some plumbing work as I wanted to put in a new hot water heater.

At my home, they replaced the shut off valve before the meter. They have the wrench to turn off the water at the property line. E.J.Gallagher Plumbing has been doing the majority of the plumbing repairs at the Winnebago County Court House and jail for 3 generations. When I was facilities manager for the County, when we called E.J.Gallagher, they were there, did the job right and were always reasonable when invoicing. Couldn't have asked for a better company to do business with, both commercial or home.
Description of Work: Replaced main shut off valve before meter.
