I can't say enough good things about Joe and Boss Plumbing. We've used his services multiple times in the past few years -- he has always given great advice with a true, "no pressure" approach with customers. When we've chosen to use his services, Joe performs high quality work at a fair price. Our most recent issue was an old jetted bathtub that started leaking. As always, he gave us advice for triage and made time to see us right away. He quickly diagnosed the plumbing issue and was able to resolve it, as well as some associated carpentry work, for us in the same day. I wish I could find someone as consistently reliable, trustworthy, and effective in all the other trades. If you have a plumbing service issue, then you NEED to call Joe and Boss Plumbing. read more

Joe was terrific in resolving a few plumbing items in our home. He is transparent, honest, and looks out for customers' best interests. He is an expert, friendly, and extremely responsive. read more

I would like to join the chorus of outstanding reviews for Boss Plumbing. Several years ago, Joe helped us with a major plumbing issue at our Burr Ridge residence. More recently, he has helped with several issues at my mother's home in Naperville. In all cases, the work was done promptly and with excellence. Joe is a great guy, honest, enthusiastic and straightforward. I highly recommend Boss Plumbing. Steve S. read more

Joe was very responsive and helpful over the phone when I called regarding sewer gas backup through our p-trap. He came by as quick as he could, walked me through the problem, explained solutions, and the problem was resolved within 24 hours. He seems to truly care about his work and his customers. read more

Boss plumbing is the only plumber you could ever want! He does such fantastic work and has very reasonable prices. He comes right away and doesn't keep you waiting. There isn't any plumbing job that he can't do! I love his personality. I highly recommend Boss Plumbing! read more

We needed help installing a line to connect a new refrigerator. He came very promptly to look at what we needed, communicated clearly, and was able to take care of it in a very timely way. Friendly and honest! Liz read more

We had a pipe freeze and I gave Boss Plumbing a call in a panic. He had me explain the situation and then laid out my options. Finally, he provided a recommendation and I took it. He was logical, courteous, and a real stand up guy. Thankfully I didn't need his services this time around (he assured me that everything I was already doing should be enough to solve the problem, and it was!) but I know who I'm calling the next time I need any kind of plumbing work done. read more

We were having concerns with our water heater. Boss plumping was easy to contact, responsive, and super easy to schedule a time that worked for me. Great value! read more

Joe is truly an expert. When our shower valve was leaking we had to turn the water off to our entire home. Joe came quickly, diagnosed how to best repair, and finished just a couple hours later. We had to open the wall and he still left the area well cleaned. Even the home's 50+ year old pipes were no match for Boss Plumbing. read more

Joe is our new plumber! He is super trustworthy and dependable! Joe installed a water filter on our main water line, and he did great work!! We will definitely have him return for future plumbing work! Thank you Joe read more

I have used Joe a couple of times. He is responsive and so pleasant to deal with. Answers calls ASAP. My water heater was leaking late at night and I left messages with three plumbers - Joe called me immediately and FaceTimed with me to stop the leaking overnight, then he arranged to fit me in between his already scheduled appointments. One of the other plumbers never returned my call and the other didn't respond until the next afternoon - about the time Joe was showing up to fix the problem! read more

The day after Thanksgiving I discovered water dripping through my kitchen ceiling. I called Boss Plumbing and even though I was not a regular customer and despite it being a holiday Joe Cohn responded within a very few hours. He looked it over and said he'd come back the following Monday. There was no service charge. He texted me on Monday around 8:00 AM and said he'd be there around 9:00 AM. He arrived when he said he would, tore out a small section of the bathroom wall and fixed the leak for a fair price. I would not hesitate to call him again if I had another plumbing issue and I highly recommend him. read more

If you're looking for an honest and reliable plumber, please consider Boss Plumbing. Our water heater broke and I contacted Boss, Joe answered, and fit us into his schedule the same day. He was honest in his opinion that the water heater could be repaired and not replaced. As he doesn't do repair work, he recommended a company that could provide the service we needed. He was also transparent about the pricing for a new unit if we were to replace. Thanks, Joe! read more

We have used Joe numerous times now (pipe burst, toilet issue, clogged basement drain) and the service has always been terrific. He follows up quickly, gives straight advice, and is frankly just a great pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend Boss Plumbing to a family or friend. read more

I had a slight drip in a pipe leading to the water heater. Joe Cohn was able to come by the day after I called. He remedied the situation in a short amount of time and charged a fair price. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber to handle the various situations that homes experience. He is fast, friendly, and honest! read more

We had a water issue with our upstairs bath tub that was leaking into our ceiling, and Boss Plumbing arrived a few hours after I called. They were able to fix the problem quickly and were very friendly. I would definitely recommend! read more

I simply don't understand how this company has five stars on Yelp. My landlord initially contacted them to get an estimate, and I followed up to schedule the appointment. We agreed on a day, but Joe couldn't agree to a particular time. He was direct at least, saying that because it wasn't an emergency, and given the holiday weekend, I would get pushed around. As requested, I text him details like the agreed upon Monday and address. It said it was delivered as an iMessage, so I assumed he received it. I should have called to confirm. Monday passes, and I never heard from Joe. I called, and Joe said he never received a text from me. He was rude about it until he discovered my original text and called back to explain that it was his bad, he forgot, and he would be willing to come after hours on a weekday to avoid inconveniencing me (I work 9-5). I thought that was nice. This was on a Tuesday; he said he would try to make it by Friday. He requested if I hadn't heard from him by Friday to send a reminder text. I didn't hear from him all week. Friday passed. I text him that weekend. He calls and says he will attempt to stop by on Monday. Again, he can't provide an ETA but will try to give me a call 30 minutes or so in advance to let me know he's on his way. Surprise, surprise - Monday passes without a word from Joe. I gave up. My landlord called another plumbing company. They scheduled an appointment, provided an ETA window, SHOWED UP, and fixed my problem. Quick and painless. I'm sorry we wasted so much time trying to work with Joe. Joe - 1. Your customers don't care to hear that you're "overworked and understaffed", "about to go to dinner", or "don't know how you'll get to it all". Just let me know what's a realistic time and date I can expect you to show up and do the job I'm trying to pay you for. If you're unavailable, just tell me. Don't lead me on. 2. GET AN APPOINTMENT BOOK. YOU'RE RUNNING A BUSINESS. read more

This small business remains one of my favorites of all time. We had a sump pump issue, which turned out to be small and for which Boss Plumbing did not charge for the visit and diagnostic. People like this ...who do what they say and add real value are phenomenal and all too rare. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Joe. There is a reason he is so highly rated. He is extremely professional and honest. He has worked on our home on three separate occasions; a sump pump install, a kitchen sink hookup (we originally had a different plumber come to hook up the sink, he told us we needed way more work than what was needed, called Joe because things didn't sound right, and he came and did the install for half the cost on the same day), and to check on some frozen pipes. He is honest explains what he is doing every step of the way and when it is and isn't necessary to have repairs done. Would definitely recommend Joe for any plumbing needs! read more

Joe has helped us numerous times throughout the years. The most recent was converting our two handled bathtub faucets to one. This greatly increased our water pressure! In addition, he directed us as to how to select the fixtures we liked which he then picked up for us. He switched out the fixtures and replaced the pipes in one day and cleaned up after himself. As usual, his prices and service are the best around. read more

We have worked with Joe at Boss Plumbing for years . He is incredibly responsive - almost always makes his way to our house within a few hours, even when our garbage disposal broke on Christmas Eve. Today was another example - we had an ejector pump issue and Joe was at our house within hours and once here he had everything assessed within minutes. He really is the best! read more

Great work. Good price. Very honest. Prompt. Used them twice. Once for a drain block and once for a bad kitchen faucet that had to be replaced. Helped guide me in the right direction of a new faucet as well so that the process of the purchase wasn't overwhelming or one I'd later regret with a bad product. Highly recommend. read more

We've used Boss Plumbing for several projects around the house and have always been pleased with their communication and work. They do a great job of explaining our options and have been able to get everything done quickly at a very reasonable price. 10/10 recommend! read more

Replaced a spigot that had gone bad, he did a great job. Was very clean with cutting drywall so it wouldn't be more work later.

We needed a new water heater and contacted Boss Plumbing via the Yelp app. Joe got back to me within an hour and quoted me over the phone. He had a new unit in by 9a the next day! Very professional and I would recommend him to family/friends. I called Home Depot for a quote also (comparable) but went with Boss and I'm glad I did! read more

Turns out the larger issue with our plumbing needed a faster resolution, and we contracted Joe to do the job. The house we bought turned out to have a faulty setup between the sink and the washer, but the major problem was roots completely clogging sections of our sewer pipe in our backyard. It felt like a nightmare... we just got this brand new house and now they had to jackhammer the concrete porch, tear up the yard plus pull out a nasty pipe full of... well you know. Joe and his team did a fantastic job. Our plumbing works like a charm now. It's a huge relief. What really surprised me was the empathy that Joe showed me during this tough situation and how he did the very best he could to get the yard back in order after the work was done. It means a lot when someone takes the time to explain everything they are doing while putting themselves in your shoes. As an aside whenever I wind up spending a lot of money on any service/product I do some research. I called another plumber the day before Joe did the major work and decided to see what another plumber would quote. The other plumber quoted the same amount of money that Joe was going to charge me. What reassured me even more was that this other plumber was saying I should get certain things installed/done that Joe was already planning on doing. Joe and his guys are who you want to do your plumbing. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Joe is my go-to plumber! He and his crew are professional, thorough, and kind. Great work, fair price, and always on time. It's always a pleasure to see Joe, and I would recommend Boss Plumbing to anyone. read more

Called Joe at Boss plumbing to fix a broken pipe in my 2nd floor bathroom. Joe came out the very next day and sent Carlos the following morning to do the work. Unfortunately, the damage was underneath the tub and they had to cut through the ceiling to reach it. Rough situation, but Carlos did a great job replacing the pipes where needed. Just as importantly, he walked me through some ways to prevent problems in the future with my very old plumbing system. Everything was great, except both Joe and Carlos showed up early for both appointments. I work from a home office on time-sensitive contract projects, so it's not so easy for me to step away without notice. Wish I could give 4 1/2 stars. Will definitely use them again! read more

These guys are the best! I live in an old cabin and Joe first came out to see what the problem was when I had water seeping around my softener system. He recommended a couple companies that could help me with my filtration system and my septic system. Both companies he recommended were fast responding and fixed the problem. When I was advised to fix a dripping faucet in my shower I immediately texted Joe. His guys came out and explained to me what my options were and what needed to be done. They were straight forward so I knew what to expect, including time it would take and price. Like I said the cabin I live in is old, and the plumbing has been completely pieced together over the years by different "handy men". The leaky faucet ended up being quite involved, but I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. It looks great, the technicians were professional, polite, cleaned up after themselves and took me through everything so I understand what was done and why. I now have my go-to plumbing company! read more

I am relatively new to the area and asked my neighbor for a referral for a good (and reliable) plumber. She recommended Joe and gave him a heads up that I would be contacting him. I texted Joe, and he was here within hours to fix my non-urgent issue. He was very professional. It is often a challenge to find a reliable contractor for those issues that I cannot fix on my own- I will definitely call Joe the next time I need a plumber (hopefully that won't be too soon!) read more

These guys are A++++ all across the board. They showed up 15 minutes early. They found the problem immediately and it was resolved instantly. Very professional and courteous. I would recommend them highly for any plumbing issue you have. Forget the others and call them now! read more

Boss Plumbing Corp - Plumbing Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

I have had Boss Plumbing work on two projects for me. On project 1 they replaced an aging water heater and installed a small pump so that I'd have instant hot water in my second floor bathrooms. The new water heater works like a charm and the pump really works well t delivering instant hot water. Now we no longer waste gallons of water and time waiting for hot water on the second floor. Fantastic. The second project was an emergency call when we had a sewer backup. Boss came within an hour of my call on a Saturday morning and cleared a block. As a precaution, I'm having them back next week to check the sewer line to make sure it's in decent shape before I do a landscaping project. I'm so thankful to have this resource. Boss is professional, friendly, customer service orientated and priced fairly. I highly recommend them for any and all of your plumbing needs. read more

Joe is great. After calling him for a list of things, he was here a day later and got it all done professionally, efficiently and cost effective. Would highly recommend for any plumbing needs! read more

No one loves when they have to contact a plumber. However, Boss Plumbing and Joe made the experience as good as it could be in light of the situation. He was first to call back and got out to our house the same day. I appreciated being upfront on what they could fix and what they could not fix. He improved my knowledge of my home's plumbing as a first-time homeowner and earned a repeat customer going forward. read more

If I could, I'd give 10 stars to Boss Plumbing! Efficient, Friendly Reliable and Competent! I've never seen a workman with so much energy! I've worked with a lot of plumbers in my days in the trades and Joe is the most efficient, time cognizant and neat plumber I've had the pleasure to watch work! I've done or can do most things in regard to home maintenance and repair, but I'm telling you Joe and Boss Plumbing is worth every dollar spent! He saved me a bunch of time and aggravation and I have the piece of mind to know the work was done right! No trips running back and forth to Home Depot!! Reliable- Joe gave me the time he'd be at the house and advised by text he was enroute. He came in with the proper tools, analyzed the issue and fixed it in half the time I expected. I simply cannot recommend Boss Plumbing enough! read more

I had a plumbing emergency with my shower and Joe was incredible. Called him at 6:30 p.m. and he was able to come directly to my house (with the correct replacement part!) and was out by 7:45 p.m. Truly incredible, in addition to being a really nice guy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Joe! read more

Fast, accurate, helpful, honest, and at a reasonable price. I would us them again. It may have been an easy job for him but the leak was on the verge of ruining my kitchen and he fixed it right away. read more

Best service I've ever experienced! Joe and his son Josh were prompt, friendly, and extremely skilled in their trade. I had two projects in my house I was putting off fixing week after week. I gave Boss Plumbing a call, they showed up within a few hours and took care of both projects within the hour. It's been two weeks since they came, and everything is still working great. No leaks, no problems. Boss Plumbing made it painless. Not to mention, they are extremely friendly and personable. Couldn't say enough positive things about this company. read more

We engaged BOSS Plumbing to do some work on adding a toilet in our basement bathroom. I can't say enough positive things about our experience. They were extremely responsive, prompt, courteous, personable, efficient, and careful about maintaining the condition of the bathroom. They were willing to sign a liability waiver. They thoroughly cleaned up following their work. And they even went above-and-beyond by coming back later, at no additional charge, to ensure that everything was working perfectly. It's a father and son team who are absolutely stellar in their work and reliability. We would use them again in a heartbeat. read more
