Multiple plumbers, supers, and contractors looked at my kitchen sink & dishwasher plumbing and could not solve the issue. Kyle was extremely helpful and solved this nearly unsolvable problem. He was also so friendly and easy to work with. He even checked in to ensure everything was working properly. Highly recommend! read more

Good service, came out quickly. Fixed my stopped sink drain. Reasonable price. Used them several times over the past six years. Close by. read more

I needed to get two ejector pumps replaced, something I was getting mixed information on from other vendors about and a wide range of quotes for. Kyle was extremely helpful in talking through the situation with me and explaining the options and very transparent in what went into Dorenbos's quote -- which was very, very reasonably priced. When I suddenly had my ejector pumps fail and my basement pit fill up with sewage, Dorenbos was able to quickly squeeze me in to their full schedule so they could resolve the problem. Very happy I found this plumbing vendor and greatly appreciate their transparency, fair pricing, and honest customer service. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are the best. We have used them for six years , Sometimes for emergencies. They are incredibly thorough and they do everything with the utmost integrity. They also have an incredibly varied skill set. I honestly don't know what we would have done without them as older house owners. read more

Dorenbos is a three-man operation: Kyle (head-honcho), Bob (seasoned expert), and Andrew (young rising star). When I first called them, it was a Friday morning, and they actually offered to send someone over that afternoon! I wouldn't be home so I scheduled for Monday morning. What a difference from my condo maintenence person that after three weeks never so much as called me back. These guys are great. They offer a very quick turnaround, and are very friendly and courteous. they are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and seem to know a lot about plumbing in general and have seen many different situations and problems. They constantly chatted with me while they performed the work and explained to me each step of the way what they were doing and what each thing they were adjusting or fixing was for. I am very pleased with their level of technical expertise. The only reason why I am not giving them 5 stars is that they were supposed to come at 11:00am for my appointment, but they only got in at 12:30. The reason they gave - their previous appointment was running late. Well that is completely understandable, however if they had proactively called me and told me that they would be late, I would have been fine. Unfortunately, I sat around waiting until 11:30am, and then I called them. And that was when they told me they were stuck at a job fixing a toilet. Well, at least I managed to finish my lunch before they got to my place. But bottom line - they are really excellent service providers and you should not hesitate to give them a call for your plumbing needs. read more

I've used different plumbing outfits over the years and they all varied in ability, quality and professionalism. I had a laundry tub that was clogged and had a few different plumbers come out to unclog it with various results. Not one of these plumbers was able to keep it unclogged for more than a month. I checked Yelp* and saw all the positive reviews for Dorenbos Plumbing and decided to give them a try. Bob showed up for the appointment and solved the problem immediatley! It has never clogged again! Recently I needed their service again as I noticed a black spot on the ceiling of my first floor bathroom over the toilet. The upstairs bathroom is directly above and I thought the worst. I imagined thousands of dollars worth of work with them having to tear through the ceiling and such to make repairs. Kyle and Drew showed up and fixed the problem in under an hour. The toilet upstairs needed a new wax donut seal; that was it! Like I stated before, I've used dozens of plumbers with so-so results. I've never been so pleased with a plumbing company before and I highly recommend Dorenbos for their friendliness, quality of work, and ability to fix a problem and not charge an arm and a leg. If you need to hire a plumber, Dorenbos Plumbing is the company to hire. read more

I'm so thankful to find honest plumbers to count on. They are a small company that are 20 years old and consist of three plumbers, that alone is amazing. I had a small job that needed to be done (installing a kitchen faucet), but trying to find a plumber to come out this time of year, who didn't charge and arm and a leg, proved to be tough. I luckily came across Dorenbos Plumbing after searching for a while on Yelp and Service Magic, and after talking to six other plumbers/plumbing companies. They were so friendly and charge extremely fair prices, much less than the others I spoke to ($120 an hour for two plumbers/ $80 and hour for one plumber). I felt extremely comfortable with them as soon as they entered my home. They are extremely personable and easy to talk to -- even about the french toast and grits at Wishbone ;) They offered me great advice, important things I never would have known about my p-trap and garbage disposal had they not said anything. I'm glad to have the peace of mind that the job was done right and that I have a trusty plumber to call when I need one. They were quick, efficient and so clean. They even offered to take off their shoes,which I so appreciate, no one hardly does that! read more

Called these guys with a semi-emergency situation--one of our pipes sprang a leak and was dripping down through our neighbor's ceiling. They called first thing in the morning. Arrived mid-morning, and were done in less than an hour. Plus, as others have written, they were easy-going, honest, professional, and reasonably priced. I'm a new homeowner, and can be easily overwhelmed (or annoyed) by the hassles of home ownership. After today, I'm pleased to have at least one ally in the home service category. read more

Having used them at work, I called asking if they could come for a clogged tub at home that seemed to be beyond the basic clog remedies. Not only did Andrew give me over the phone advice first, but he quoted me a price over the phone which was what we actually paid to have the job done. As usual, friendly, professional, efficient and fair. I'd recommend them anytime! read more

We have been having plumbing problems in this house since the day I moved in. For the past maybe almost a year the basement tubs have been filling up with water. My basement tubs are completely cement and have already been worked on and paid for before, to no avail. Bob came to the house today, even with the busy day he had he fit us in. Very personable and friendly. He explained what he was doing and what he was looking for. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a plumber! read more

Kyle, Andrew and Bob are the best...complete w/ plumber's overalls..I found them here on Yelp. I was looking for someone trustworthy to hook up a corner sink and address a negative flow. I spoke w/ Kyle who was prompt, professional and polite..a fella who leads by example b/c his whole crew has the same approach. He gave me several options and was no pressure. The guys were patient enough to explain every step they were doing to keep my 1st time home buying heart at ease while they cut into the 80 y/o plaster walls. I was impressed because they were very knowledgeable in answering all my random inquiries about owning an old house and did it in good humor. I can't say enough about his crew (Andrew and Bob) they were positive and productive. They were calm even with my dogs being in house while they worked and full of helpful tips.. They told me exactly what it was going to cost and they stood by it. Call them up, you won't be disappointed. read more

I spoke with Kyle about a small project early this morning, sent him photos and got an estimate. Andrew showed up as scheduled, three hours later. He was courteous, neat and took care of the problem quickly. Dorenbos Plumbing actually charged less then the estimate. They came highly recommended by two condo owners in my building and I have already given my son their name and phone number. I highly recommend Dorenbos Plumbing. read more

Quick response and service for non standard faucet problem. Very courteous and explained everything well. This is our second service call for different problems and we are very happy with the service. read more

These guys came out today to rod my kitchen sink. They are efficient, friendly and just plain honest. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plumbing work. We will use them again! read more

Used them 2x so far on 2 separate occasions on an apt building I own for various tasks like installing kitchen sink, fixing leaks in sink, faucets, shower diverter issues etc.. They are easy to work with as far as scheduling, nice on the phone and the plumbers are fast and pleasant to deal with. The kind of guys I'd have no issue in the future leaving them a key to "just take care of it" . Highly recommend. And guys - keep up the good work!! read more

These are the guys I've been using for a few years. If I knew anything at all about plumbing, I'd be able to write more... but they return my calls, come when they say they will, and are always pleasant to deal with... read more

Honest, efficient and easy to work with. You'll talk to the same people when you call, and you can expect good service, and a fair price. I'd gladly recommend them (which I guess is exactly what I'm doing right now) to anyone who needs plumbing work done. read more

Yelp to the rescue again! Andrew had to do a solo trip all the way to the northern suburbs to fix our cracked pipe located in our flooded crawl space. On a 90 degree day, after battling traffic...and yet still was professional AND personable! He replaced our outside water line and ran new pipe through the crawl space and I was able to water my lawn an hour later. Oh, and the cost was exceptionally reasonable---$80 per hour for 1 plumber, $120 for 2 plumbers and these guys are EFFICIENT, so an hour or two of work is an incredible amount of time to complete most small to medium sized jobs. The nice thing is that this company runs on a strong work ethic, quality service and customer loyalty...the way good business should be done. read more

I was very impressed with their service. We were having issues with our upstairs toilet flushing, and they came on time, took their shoes off at the door, and were very polite and professional. After the work was done, Andrew explained everything he did clearly. Another issue arose with our sink while they were working on the toilet, and even though it turned out to be unconnected, they still stayed late to fix it and went out of their way to make sure that every problem was solved. I feel like this is a level of care and thoroughness that I don't see very often, and I almost want to come up with more plumbing projects just to be able to hire such competent and friendly people again! read more

I had a 2in PVC vent stack pipe that was cracked in the basement leaking on the floor. Bigger problem was the PVC was supporting cast iron through the rest of the house so it need to be reinforce with cast iron as well.. Dornbros called me the morning after I left a message and came out take a look. At first I thought it was a one man job and balked a little 120/hr for 2 plumbers but in the long run it is the best route to go with these guys...smaller jobs they will do $80/ one guy I think.... Drew and Kyle were professional, knowledgeable and worked quickly to get the job done. Having both guys allowed for a professional collaboration to go at the issue quickly with the best and cheapest methods. I have been burned by hourly plumbers before with Power Plumbing and was pleasantly surprised to find there are still honest, affordable guys in the trade that do top notch work. read more

ZERO Reliability. After having taken the day off work, I had scheduled an Appt for a Friday morning, and was assured I would be the 2nd appt of the day (9:30 AM). When I called at noon to determine the status, they acted as if we never had spoken/they forgot. Given I had arranged the appt just 1/2 day earlier, I was dumbfounded. Needless to say this was a lost opportunity for them, as well as lost future recommendations to others. read more

A pleasant experience. Kyle is the type of plumber that you see on a TV home improvement show. He knows everything about everything. He was prompt, and explained everything he was doing. Good, fast, neat and fairly priced. read more

Called this company after seeing so many great reviews on Yelp. I called about a clogged bathroom tub drain. Kyle came out and did a great job of quickly remedying my clogged drain. I was very impressed with their professional attitude and knowledge of work. I will be using them again soon on another plumbing issue I have a different property. The price quoted was very fair and the quote is the amount I paid. Use this company with confidence!!!! read more

Bob was terrific in proposing a terrific solution to what I thought was a rodding issue for a bathroom sink. Turns out - it was mis-piped - bad configuration. He changed out the piping and charged a very reasonable price. Terrific service and great help. It is a small shop, so they couldn't accomodate the emergency call back for a bath tub issue. But all in all, on a regular scheduled call - great help, great price. TY read more

Had these guys out to my house to rod the downstairs toilet. 5 weeks later the pipe was clogged again. They came out with a camera to determine why my pipes were so jammed up. They diagnosed the problem and scheduled a day to come out and put in a new section of 6" pipe and clean out. They wrapped up in less than a day and under budget. Top notch plumbers and all around nice guys. read more

These guys are the most honest plumber in the city! had basement flood call out four different company's all told me I need it a valve & rejection pump average estimate $5500.00 Called Dorembos were out next morning inspected the system and f my drain spouts were connected to the main drain. He also recommended we have our main line roded this was 16 month ago and haven't had a single problem. Oh yeah his bill was $350.00. read more

Like many others in Chicago this week- we had frozen pipes that burst. I found them using Yelp and they actually answered the phone early on a Saturday morning. (My usual plumber never even called me back). We got a same day appointment (today) and they kept in touch regarding their arrival time. The hourly rate sounded quite reasonable for 2 guys and a Saturday. Both men were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and explained what they were doing. They got down to business fast and worked hard. Since I know nothing about plumbing- they put me at ease and I feel it was well worth my money. I would recommend them to others, and will use them again in the future. read more

We've been happy customers since we bought our building 8 years based on a recommendation from a neighbor. These guys are good - on time, honest, knowledgeable and affordable. read more

Dorenbos Plumbing Co has come out to our building a few times and I have been totally pleased every time! They are very knowledgable, very thorough, friendly, and reasonably priced. Plumbing issues can be a total nightmare and make a homeowner feel paniced when things go wrong. Kyle and his team are great at putting your mind at ease and I've never had to wait long for them to make a house call, they've come within a few hours of my call every time. They are my number one go to for our plumbing needs. read more

We had a problem with a leaky pipe between floors in my Condo Building. I called Kyle and scheduled an appointment for 9 AM. Dorenbos came out exactly on time, which was extremely fortunate, as water was pooling up in the ceiling of one unit. Drew was excellent. He quickly determined the problem, explained exactly what he needed to do and then set about it quickly and efficiently. Afterwards, he tested to make sure all leak sources were fixed and sealed and cleaned up. In all, it was about 3 hours of work. He then prepared a detailed invoice explaining all work, parts, and costs. The price was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend Dorenbos for any plumbing work. Excellent service, quality work, and a fair price. read more

An aquaintence recommended them so we gave them a try when we had an upstairs humidifier leaking through to our living room ceiling. They were super knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, responsive and professional. Glad to finally have a go to plumber that we feel we can trust. read more

Had Andrew and Kyle come out this AM to route some pipe. They were friendly, knowledgeable, clean, and honest. They arrived early which was a big plus. Rates were fair and are having them come back to install a new water heater next week. Yelp to the rescue yet again.. read more

This is the third time we have used Dorenbos for a job and they are consistently on time, accommodating, fairly priced, and generally the nicest folks you could want to meet: something sadly lacking in a lot of businesses. read more

I had some plumbing that was leaking and i couldn't find the source. Andrew came over on-time and removed all my drywall and ultimately helped me find the source of the leak. I thought andrew was knowledgeable and professional. However after doing the demo he never returned my calls or texts and did not come back when he said to actually fix the leak. I waited for a week and ended up calling another plumber to fix it. I was really annoyed but at least i never had to pay him because he didnt bothered to return the calls or finish the job. read more

My wife and I just bought a new condo, and whoever installed the existing water heater did a terrible job. Enter Dorenbos Plumbing. They (Andrew and Bob) arrived on time, fixed everything quickly but carefully, never pressured me into anything (they even told me what I could leave alone to save money), and were always extremely friendly. Their rates are very reasonable, especially given the quality of service. After having two other plumbers from other companies either stand me up or give me the strong-arm-service treatment, Dorenbos Plumbing seemed too good to be true. They aren't. I'm quite pleased to know I have a reliable plumbing team when I need one. Highly recommended. read more

Found these guys on Yelp. Great customer service and they were very up front about their rates...no surprises. I called at 5pm on a Monday and they were out the next morning on time for a non-emergency call. Very helpful, educated and personable. I highly recommend these guys for your Chicago plumbing needs. read more

Did a great job fixing my clogged kitchen sink. The final price came in below the quote. Professional, knowledgable, on time, farily priced, and very quick response time. They returned my call within minutes and were at my condo within 3 hours. I would definitely use them again. read more

Finally found a plumber I can trust! These guys are great. My toilet was leaking and they came out and knew exactly what the problem was. 45 minutes later they were out the door. No BS with them. I was so impressed they took their shoes off when they came in too! Rates are reasonable as well. read more

i have had Kyle out to fix plumbing issues in the past and install a toilet and was satisfied with his work so now with a leaky faucet in the kitchen i thought he could be my go-to guy. i am only giving 2 stars because i am very frustrated right now. i have left numerous messages for Kyle and Andrew over the last couple weeks and have yet to hear back from them. Even if they don't have the time to come out, I would at least appreciate a call back to let me know that's the case. not happy. read more

These guys were awesome! Bob and Andrew came to my place and fixed a small kitchen sink leak. They were able to come in the afternoon on the day I called, and were extremely friendly. They even found an issue with my dishwasher drain line that they fixed free of charge! You'll appreciate their prices as well. read more
