Noel is wonderful! Came out on short notice and helped with a garbage disposal emergency. So happy to now have a go-to plumber for all our plumbing needs. read more

Noel came through for this first time homeowner! My water heater broke and began leaking at 10am on a Saturday and I texted Noel. He immediately responded even though he was in route to a job and continued to communicate with me all day to help. With a combination of my willpower to get a new unit myself that day, with his ability to squeeze me in on a Saturday afternoon, I had a new water heater up and running within 10 hours of it breaking. Additionally, he showed me how to use features on the new unit and explained what is most important in an emergency scenario. He also was nice enough to remind me to register the product in case something went wrong. Noel went above and beyond what I would have expected and helped me remain sane in an emergency situation. I will absolutely keep him on speed dial. There's a reason this conpany has 5 stars on yelp! read more

Noel is a nice guy, but not above overcharging: For two hours of work, a sink faucet, a bathtub faucet, and a few of those wire mesh drain covers, he charged me $495. I looked up the prices for those parts online. He definitely made over $100 an hour for the labor, which is a pretty penny. He still did a good job, but I might look elsewhere next time. read more

It's all already been said. Noel is get's there when he says he will, efficiently fixes the problem and is thoughtful about not making a mess. read more

After we attempted and failed to fix a recalcitrant kitchen sink drain issue mere days after purchasing our first home, and with family in town and staying with us, we called a handful of plumbers to get it fixed the right way. Half of them didn't call back, the others either called back way later and tried to schedule for the next day or quote us a price without asking any questions abut the problem. Noel answered the phone right away, asked a handful of questions to get a better idea of what could be wrong and what kind of building/plumbing set up he had to work with, as here in Chicago both access to the pipes/system and compliance with code can be varied depending on the age of the building and whether it was inspected. He came out in the early evening so I didn't have to scrap dinner with a bunch of family in town and walked us through the immediate issue, showed us how our system was likely set up in our newly purchased house, and even found another potential problem (that the previous owners had rather incompetently diy repaired themselves), but didn't at all try to force us to fix it right away, just telling us to keep an eye on it and what to watch out for. That said, we'll probably be fixing it soon just to be safe, and we'll definitely be hiring Noel to do the job. He even managed to place my father-in-law's southern English accent within minutes of arriving and we had a lovely side conversation about soccer while he fixed our kitchen. Great guy, and a true craftsman. I'll be recommending him to any of my friends in need of a plumber. read more

Noel is a rock star. He comes on time and fixes everything without a hitch. I would recommend him to anyone who supports local businesses!!! read more

I don't write too many reviews but finding a good plumber you can use for life is impossible so I felt I should post this. I have gone through a half dozen and I'm happy to say I finally found the Company I can count on and use as long as I live in Chicago land! Recommended by a friend, I have used Five Plumbing on several occasions and all of the anxiety is out the window. I would trust these guys to do work when I'm not there, it is done right the first time, everything is explained to you, they are realistic about what can and can't be done, and their prices are competitive. I have gone the 'cheap' route several times and it does not work. I have the 'redo' bills and water damage to prove it. Stop reading, call them if you need some work done. read more

Had a clogged sink/garbage disposal issue. Roto rooter kept me waiting 4 hours before ultimately canceling the appointment. I called Noel at Five Plumbing the following morning and he was able to meet me after work. QUoted me in advance, was friendly and polite, and solved the problem quickly. Nothing but positive things to say. Will use again and will recommend to friends. read more

Price a bit more than I expected, but he was second plumber I called after the first one charged me without finding the source ceiling water leak was coming from. Highly recommend Noel. read more

We moved into a condo and discovered several plumbing issues that needed resolved (slow drains, things piped incorrectly, etc.). We've worked with Noel twice now and he's always promptly and professionally fixed our issues. He's great about explaining what needs done and will spend time with you walking through things. He's also a very nice guy! We plan to have him out again for another job soon. read more

Noel is Great!! I called to schedule some minor plumbing work (I thought), and Noel called right back. He was able to estimate the cost over the phone but mentioned that the cost could go up a little if there was not a separate water shut-off for the appliance I was removing. (I had a water fountain in my Laundry Room that the previous owner put in as a joke). Sure enough, no separate water shut-off and Noel needed to get some extra parts. There was an additional $40 charge. Noel did an exceptional job!! I will call him again. read more

Noel was very friendly and did a good job. Would recommend to anyone.

Noel did a great job for us while I was out of town and dealt perfectly with my wife, who can be a bit of a "challenge" :). Quickly, efficiently, and on time. Only reason I am not giving him 5 stars is because it may have been a bit on the high side for price... though as my old contractor friend used to say.. Good, Fast, Cheap... pick any two Would highly recommend and would use him again. read more

Noel and Five Plumbing I would recommend to anyone. Last summer he solved a leak in the unit above mine that previous plumbers could not diagnose. Then this month I had water backup everywhere overnight and he came first thing in the morning and laid out everything that needed to be done. He was direct and honest the entire time about the issues and the the potential costs involved. That's what I call a great plumber. Thanks Noel and Five Plumbing, i will definitely call you again when I have an issue. read more

Came over promptly same-day for a non-emergency job; pointed out some corroded pipes he noticed further down the wall while in the process of fixing what we called him about... and fixed it all for a totally reasonable price. Super friendly and professional, would call again. read more

Had Noel and his fellow plumber in to clear two very slow drains, a tub and shower. They showed up during the one hour window they said and had the drains flowing within a half hour. Their end price was what I was quoted on the phone. Noel made some recommendations about keeping hair out of the drains and an easy tool to get for clearing hair from drains. Both men were courteous and friendly. I would gladly hire them again. read more

Noel is great! Had a pipe burst during the brutal cold snap of January 2014. He came out the next morning and fixed it for a really reasonable price, will definitely call again! read more

Noel was righteous, helpful, and got the problem solved for us. He laid out the options very clearly and there were was no ambiguity. He even tried to help me over the phone to avoid having to have him come out. We're planning to replace a water heater in the near future and I will definitely be checking with Noel first. Highly recommended. read more

Noel came on short notice, worked hard, and got the problem solved in a timely manner. A friendly guy who is dedicated to his task. Price was reasonable, too. read more

Noel is fantastic! After not hearing from another plumber, I called Noel based purely on his yelp reviews. He answered immediately, set an appointment ASAP, and gave me his rates on the phone. On the day of the appointment, he called to confirm and showed up right when he said he would. Noel quickly and kindly diagnosed my leaky sink, talking me through his thought process the entire way. I learned a lot about my kitchen plumbing and Noel gave me great tips on home maintenance. The whole experience was lovely and professional. I will definitely call Noel again and recommend him to you! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Noel and his company that he runs. He is professional, fair and transparent in his pricing, quick to respond and does excellent work. read more

I rarely feel compelled to write a yelp review but this guy deserved my time and more. I called him in the morning as I happened to have the day off and he came by immediately, assessed our problem, encouraged me to call my husband at work when I was unsure what to do/what decision to make (never pushed me to do the pricier option in terms of repair work), then quoted me, bought parts and fixed my issue in a matter of hours. He was courteous, aware of snowy boots, etc, and I felt that he was honest and professional and in general, just a good hard working guy. Much prefer workin with a good 'ol irishman like him to the big box guys anyday. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Noel did an amazing job replacing our jammed garbage disposal, and even identified a better way to reroute the plumbing under the kitchen sink to reduce stress on the new garbage disposal. Heck, he even offered to help me carry a large item UPS had just delivered up three flights of stairs. Great guy, excellent results. Give him a call. You won't regret it. read more

After two people messed with my brand new disposal, I finally called Noel. He came right out, charged me exactly what he said he would and did a fantastic job!! Explained everything in a way I could understand and was in and out in no time. Highly Recommend!!! I will call him for all of my future plumbing needs! read more

We called Five Plumbing for a leak in our home that had started to present itself on the lower level but turned out to be a very bad leak behind our cabinets in our kitchen. Noel was able to come the same day to inspect and identify the source of the leak. He then came back two more times to make sure everything was done correctly. It was a big messy job and Noel was great. He even helped to identify a problem in our neighbor's unit too! I highly recommend him. read more

Noel is a true professional. He was very communicative during the entire process of replacing a malfunctioning disposal in my tenants' unit, sending me texts and photos the entire time he was working. His work ended up well within his quote. He was quick and the work was exemplary. I would recommend him to anyone needing reliable plumbing work done. read more

Noel is hands down the best plumber I have ever used....it isn't even questionable. Super professional and highly skilled. We have used him twice already; once for a leaking toilet and most recently for a new garbage disposal. A terrific person as well....really enjoy him and wish we had more contractors like him! read more

You can't go wrong. Noel is polite, efficient & knows what he's doing. He let me know all the steps of the project beforehand & the price was even a little less than he originally quoted. I'll use him again for sure. read more

I called based on the Yelp reviews. Noel returned my call promptly. While my project scope is larger than Noel takes on, he sent me a text with the contact information for a firm that handles projects like mine. Noel gets taking care of the customer, even if it does not generate revenue today! read more

The best plumber you'll ever hire. On time, trustworthy, etc. Read the other reviews - they're all spot on.

Noel has been to our home twice. Both time very punctual, very professional, fair prices, and superb work. JW

Noel is by far the best plumber of all time. This is not even a question.

Noel is a fantastic plumber and a great guy! I had a minor issue with our toilet leaking, and he was able to come out within a few hours to fix it. He had me text him the issue and a few pictures so he knew what to expect and what parts to bring. He also quoted me a price and time before coming out. I can't say enough great things about my experience, and I'll definitely be using Five Plumbing again! read more

Noel came out the next day and easily fixed an issue with a severely clogged toilet that 5 different maintenance guys in my building could't resolve. The price was competitive, cleaned up, and was professional! Highly recommend him. read more

I used Noel for a few different services over the past few weeks and his response, honesty and overall professionalism was impressive. an awkward water heater removal and installation plus some minor plumbing related questions were answered with honest advice given. He will be our go to guy for a long time. read more

I found Noel on Yelp a while back for a clog and now he has done 4 projects for me - including a burst pipe emergency in January and he was right here to get it taken care of! He is the always informative, walking through the current problem as well as what we need to consider down the road for preventative measures (if necessary). The best thing I can say about a person is that they know their stuff, and Noel does! Yesterday, we thought we had a problem, Noel came over right over today to check; ended up it was "user error" - kind of a funny mistake on our side ; but he made no judgement and walked me through what needed to be done. He is very focused when working - to get the job done as thoroughly yet as quickly as possible. He is the cleanest plumber too, very attentive on keeping his work area clean as he works and the area always looks as good (maybe even better!?) as when he started. Noels work ethic is excellent, professional and as I said before, he knows his stuff!! One thing I have learned is that anything with water/plumbing needs to be done right the first time and without shortcuts; with Five Plumbing, you won't need to worry. read more

Noel showed up early, provided a fair rate on a multi unit project and executed a flawless delivery. He was exceedingly professional, obviously intelligent and a great person. I find that combination is rare and appreciate his precision and the quality of his work. He is my man from here on out. read more

Noel was very easy to work with. I wasn't at the property where the problem was. He called when he said he would, described the problem, gave me a quote, fixed it, and it was done. Easy peasy. I was also able to conveniently pay him via Chase Quick Pay so my tenant wouldn't have to be involved in any exchange of money. I will definitely use him again. read more

Noel has worked on my house multiple times. Today he came out same day for a leaking toilet. Very knowledgeable and fast. Highly recommended. read more

Noel from Five Plumbing was phenomenal. Noel spent three hours on Saturday evening fixing our bathtub drain. He was extremely knowledgable and diligent in fixing our issue. I would recommend Five Plumbing to all my friends and family. read more
