Arturo has been to our home twice in the past two months. First to install a Toto auto flushing…read moretoilet, next to replace a basement sump pump -- unrelated to the former. Availability to come to our home was terrific. Workmanship was great. Respect for our home was top notch. Glenbrook Plumbing was also more wallet-friendly than bids from multiple other plumbers, including the membership "discount" from our HVAC servicer. Looking at the other yelp reviews, they all seem to be either one star (terrible) or five stars (great, like mine). The latter definitely outnumbered the former, 7 to 2. My review changes it to 8 to 2. As some like to say, "Do the math."

I had a horrible experience with Mike and Tony. Classic scenario: the pipes in my house freeze and…read morestart leaking, in 20 degree January, on a Friday morning. The heat had stopped working days before. It's 38 degrees room temperature. The city had shut the water off to stop the flood inside my house. The heater runs on water so I can't fix the heater until a plumber turns on the water and finds the leaks. I call Glenbrook Plumbing in an emergency. BIG MISTAKE. Mike and Tony come out, look around, see the water everywhere, feel the cold room temperature and decide they don't want to do this job. They told me they can't turn on the water and find the leaky pipes until the heat gets turned on. I told them the furnace runs on water, they told me to ask to use a neighbor's hose to fill the furnace with water, and then they left after 15 minutes and charged me $132 for the visit. The next day I found a plumber who came out the next morning and fixed the plumbing problem and turned on the water all without the heat on. One guy. These people didn't want to help me because the conditions were not comfortable. They just left me there in an emergency and I never heard from them again. These are terrible people. Do not reward them with your business!!!

My dad recommended The Plumbing Smith when we bought our house last year, and I'm so glad he did…read more At this point, they're the only plumbers I'll call. Kevin and Reed are honest, their prices are fair, and they always take the time to explain what's going on without making me feel like I'm asking dumb questions. Reed was just here, and after explaining everything to my husband, he took the time to explain it all again to me. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but that's the kind of service you can expect from them. If something is outside their wheelhouse or a project is bigger than what they do, they'll tell you and recommend someone they trust instead of trying to sell you on something you don't need. Their scheduler is awesome too. She's so easy to reach by phone or text and always makes scheduling easy. And Kevin always has a funny story, so somehow we end up laughing during a plumbing appointment. They've helped us with all kinds of things since we bought our house, and they're honestly the only company I don't dread calling. I've recommended them to several friends because I trust them completely. It's hard to find people who are knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely care about their customers. I'm so grateful my dad sent us their way.

Since the labor was at a very reasonable 1 hour set price he had some time to check out my toilet, which was leaky. Charged me great prices for replacement of two small parts in there.

Today, Jim came out to replace my outdoor faucets with frost-free ones and upgraded the pipes with copper ones. I feel good doing this because it will prevent the pipes from freezing and bursting. I hadn't realized that to access one of the interior pipes, Jim had to go into my crawlspace. He kindly and carefully navigated around all the stuff in the room where the crawlspace is because I had not known that I would need the area cleared. Jim was very professional the entire time he was at my home, and the whole job took about 2 hours.

They helped me so much with major work in the early years of owning my late 60s house. They saved me a pile of cash a few years ago by working with the village regarding my crushed sewer line. I use them now for PM like sewer and drain rodding, sump pump and the occasional drippy valve.

I've used CJs twice in the past couple months now. Once on a semi-emergency situation with a…read moretenant, and once in my own home. In both cases, they were FAST to respond, FAST to schedule, SHOWED up, communicated well, and were (my favorite part) no-nonsense. Today, Lenny was the plumber. He wanted to see everything first. He made a couple recommendations for solutions, and then just straight-up GOT DOWN TO BUSINESS. We have crazy dogs, but Lenny was un-deterred. He carries dog treats for the dogs he meets! He showed me photos of his own dog YALL! Lenny is out here solving plumbing *and* is a friend to all dogs?! LOVED this guy. I love CJs. I love when people are great at they do. And I paid by Zelle immediately (nice and easy). And I tipped Lenny. If you're reading this - make sure to tip the people who take care of your home.

I asked SBJ Plumbing to install a vanity sink, drain and water connections. Brad did the install,…read moreand charged $1100 which I thought was high but I paid him right before he left. An hour or so after he left, I ran the water in the vanity sink and there was a noticeable leak. He said he would come back a few days later to take a look. He returned and tightened the connections. I again ran the water after he left, and again there was dripping under the drain so I asked him back again. He came back again and did some more tightening and said it should be ok now. I again ran the water after he left and there was still a drip. I then texted him saying that I would like a refund of $350 of the $1100 he charged because the pipes were still leaking and he had already claimed twice that the problem was fixed when it wasn't. He refused and then tried to gaslight me saying actually there was no leaking. So if you want a plumber who doesn't stand by his work, then this is the guy for you (My response to his comments): For the record, here is the text exchange between Brad and Me (and yes I did say "please consider giving me a refund because I don't want to give you bad reviews"--and that is a reasonable response on my part given that I received service that is below what the average person would expect [i.e. 3 visits by the plumber and the sink trap is still dripping]. (From Craig): Brad, The vanity is still leaking and I can't devote any more time to this project, therefore I am requesting a partial refund of the money you charged me. I think a $350 refund would be reasonable. Craig (From Brad): I disagree, the last 2 times I came over there wasn't even a leak. I have gone beyond being reasonable and in reality I should be paid for 2 service calls. (From Craig): Many would ask for a larger if not full refund under these circumstances. Obviously there was a very noticeable leak after the first visit and a much smaller but still noticeable leak after the next 2 visits. Please reconsider because I don't want to give you bad reviews
