Paul is responsive efficient and fair. Short notice sink routing. Highly recommend. Texting is better. Make sure you provide details

Paul was easy to communicate with, showed up on time and completed the work quickly. Would definitely work with him again.

I hired Paul the Plumber to replace a faucet in my laundry room. To replace the faucet, Paul and his team had to navigate in very tight corners to do the job (and no complaints about it!). Within minutes, I had a brand new faucet with great pressure, and when I shut it off, no more leaky faucet. Pricing is more than fair and he is very trustworthy. Would hire again in a heartbeat. read more

Paul is great! He has helped us on numerous occasions most recently with regard to a battery backup sump pump system. He arrived on time, had everything he needed, and had the old one removed and the new one in, in a very reasonable amount of time and price. In addition he is very personable and friendly, I will definitely call him again and would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

Its kind of a big deal when you let the perfect stranger into your house to do work. I reached out to Paul the Plumber, he responded to texts. He was direct and to the point via texting. I booked an appointment based on my neighbors recommendations. Upon arrival, he went into my crawl space to shut the water off and found a tree stand in there! He offered to bring it out for me, so props off the bat for going above and beyond from the start. Paul the Plumber replaced a 45 year old laundry tub for me today. The laundry tub he installed is high quality and the faucets he replaced are eye catching. Nothing I've seen at Home Depot or Menards. Paul the Plumber did an outstanding job. He worked diligently, and if you hang out around him, he works and holds convo, so you make a friend, too! His price was more than half less from another company's quote. He won't rip you off, he's honest and does a fantastic job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Very responsive when notified. Does great work at a fair price. I have used him a couple times and am pleased with his work.

Paul is great! He's our go to plumber...very reasonably priced and doesn't try to oversell. Would highly recommend!

We have hired Paul a couple of times now, and could not be happier with the experiences. He is an exceptionally talented plumber whose four decades in both the commercial and residential side clearly show in his work. For example, in our last appointment (May 2025), Paul swapped out both a water heater and a kitchen faucet, and installed a new hot water valve. The entire work was done in about 65 minutes too, and that included draining the tank, a courtesy wipe-down, and helpful advice. Nor is this a hastily done effort... he's just that efficient. Another job involved an emergency over a burst pipe connecting to a hose spigot during the winter. He raced over here, diagnosed the situation quickly, and charged us for a simple house call... no emergency surcharge, no overtime, or anything. He simply asked we consider him for the next project, which we sure did. His prices are also very, very fair. Paul could easily bill 75% or more and still have plenty of work--and still be worth every penny because he can knock out projects in one trip and half the time of others--but Paul clearly enjoys helping people and takes pride in providing value for his customers. He's also just a fun person to shoot the breeze with. If you need a plumber in the Naperville/Wheaton area or thereabouts, definitely give him a call, at least for a quote. If it's close to the other guys (it will probably be significantly lower than most, but not the lowest), just don't hesitate and use him instead of the others. You will have the peace of mind that the job is done with attention to detail from an old school professional who is also as punctual, affable, and tidy as he is affordable. read more

Paul the Plumber is the best. We have used Paul for lots of projects and repairs over the last 15 years and he always came through with quick, practical, and reasonable solutions to all of our plumbing needs. Quick response in emergency situations and provided diagnostic review and recommendations to insure proper handling to minimize water damage issues. We will keep using his service and recommend to friends in need. read more

Paul the Plumber does great work. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly. He works on Saturdays to accommodate people that are gone through the week. He arrived at the scheduled time. He replaced the faucets and drains in two bathrooms. He also installed new waterlines. Paul works quickly and efficiently. He charges very fair prices. Do not hesitate to call him for your plumbing needs. read more

Paul was so easy to work with. He got me scheduled quickly, texted me when he was on his way to us, and arrived within the promised window. He brought the new equipment with and left the area clean when he finished. I will definitely be calling Paul the next time I need plumbing work done. read more

Highly recommend Paul the Plumber! Texted Paul for a clogged drain and garbage disposal and he made it out same day. Very professional and honest. We will be using him again in the future for any of our plumbing needs! read more

First I gave him 5 stars, but my husband and I started to hear a noise when standing up off of the toilet. I called Paul and he told me I should have bought the toilet from him, I should called Kohler and tell them. the toilet itself is loose. tank is secure. I could not believe his response. be careful, if you don't buy the toilet from him! read more

Had Paul come out due to a clogged utility sink that the washing machine empties to. He responded quickly, came out the next day and cleared out the clogged drain by snaking 40ft down the line. Great guy, honest and thorough. read more

I never thought I'd care for a plumber that I could trust, let alone feel like I wasn't being taken for a ride, but Paul quickly put those worries to rest. He's accessible by phone and text, and came by my house the very next day for an issue I had with my sump pump. Paul was able to see what the problem was immediately. Upon diagnosing the issue, he gave me some options that were reasonable in price, time, and ensuring the quality in parts and worksmanship. He even gets his supplies from a special plumbers store vs. the big box stores that you and I would normally get parts and stuff from. I was up and running in no time at all, and I was able to quickpay Paul vs having to write out a check. Got a receipt for the work, and couldn't be more at peace after all was done. read more

Paul was very thorough and friendly he diagnosed the problem with the piping under the sink and corrected the remodelers mistake right away he noticed the garbage disposal was not locked in position allowing it to vibrate every-time we used it. Also Snaked out the pipe and cleared out the blockage. Paul's pricing was fair and showed up the same day that I called him. I will call him again if we have plumbing problems. read more

Contacted Paul for a quote on a kitchen faucet installation. He responded quickly and was even able to squeeze us in the same day. He was professional and thorough, priced very reasonably. Would definitely recommend! read more

We had multiple issues with our sump pump, and the basement was taking on water. Paul answered my inquiry immediately and was out first thing in the morning. He and his son replaced all of the PVC pipes and fittings and installed a new pump with a check valve. They were prompt and done in about 40 minutes. Both were very kind, honest, and helpful. Glad my friend recommended Paul the Plumber! read more

Paul is top notch. He fixes the problem quickly and at a fair cost. I highly recommend him

Paul was great, showed up when he said he would. Texted when he was on the way. I had a leak under the kitchen sink & the repair was pretty simple & he only charged the service fee. I wish all contractors operated like he does! read more

Paul and his son Joe came to clear a clogged kitchen drain line and did an excellent job. They were professional, courteous, friendly, and did not hesitate when it proved a bit more difficult than we all anticipated. They were in and out in under an hour, left the place spotless, and charged a very reasonable fee. I would not hesitate to call them again and can recommend them without reservation or hesitation. Paul also responded quickly to my initial inquiry and came when promised. What's not to like? read more

Paul is exactly what I want in a person whom I entrust to come into my home to fix/replace something. I had called several companies recommended to me - Paul the Plumber was on that list. What set him apart in the beginning was his suggestion, on his website, to send him pictures of the issue at hand. This offers a customer an immediate connection - a real way to be "seen", and the problem validated. He makes communication easy via email/text/call. Paul is professional, smart, friendly, fair-priced, and efficient. He helped me through the entire process of getting a new water heater and getting rid of the old one. He also answered my questions about fixing/replacing a toilet - never once pushing on me brands out of my price range that I really didn't need. His knowledge of brands/features/stores to search saved me hours of time as I tend to overthink/research such things. I hired Paul to come back to install the toilet! It's been a few weeks - both items are working GREAT! :D It was surely a bummer to have had to make large purchases after buying this condo only 2.5 years ago ... and I am sure there will be more opportunities for me to use Paul the Plumber's expertise -- that's the good and bad new all in one lol. I'll include pics - I'll spare you my toilet pics tho!! read more

Believe the reviews. Paul the Plumber is knowledgeable, honest, communicative and fair priced. I have called him to fix a few jobs already from toilet problems to a backed up shower drain and the latest, a leaking pipe which has caused water damage in my ceiling. I have used a couple plumbers in the past, but I really like the service that Paul provides and I will only call him from now on. He may not be able to get to you right away, but he does prioritize his customers and will help you as soon as he can. read more

I needed to have my new toilet installed. Paul was easy to reach and communicate with, clear in his pricing and scope of work. He had to fit me in later than scheduled because of an emergency but did his best to accommodate me. He finished the job quickly and neatly, charging a reasonable price compared to some others I contacted. I will definitely use him again. read more

Wow, things were really crazy the past 24 hours, my husband found out he needed surgery, my son fell and ended up in the hospital, and I had a funeral of a friend to attend. So when I woke up and heard the shower running I just thought oh it got left on in all the Chaos, but no, the cartridge had broken and water was flowing. I called Paul the Plumber, he responded rather quickly to my call, gave me an accurate quote on the phone and he not only fixed it perfectly for a fair price, he was kind enough to fit me in so I was able to make my friends funeral. Service above and beyond. Paul and his son, who helped him, were the best part of my day, I would highly recommend them. read more

Paul is our "go to" plumber. I have recommened him to many others who have also been satisfied with his work

Called him Thanksgiving evening after our hot water tank flooded our laundry room, and he replaced the tank the next morning. You will not find a better plumber (or person) to do your job. Highly recommended. And he doesn't advertise. Word of mouth only. Which is incredible. I found him here on Yelp based on his reviews. read more

My dad discovered that our sump pump was leaking yesterday; however, he decided to monitor for one day instead of calling a plumber right away... So of course, it looked worse today and I start panicking... I called around and was so glad that Paul is available today. Paul was professional and responsive. He showed up at the time he promised, quickly examined the pump, identified the problem, and fixed it. We have two sump pumps and I always thought they were both working, but Paul discovered that the second pump was broken. Since he carries new pumps in his truck, Paul was able to replace our broken pump right away. Paul then discovered that the pipe in the yard was frozen, which caused the leaking problem in the sump pump. He provided a temporary rubber pipe and recommended us finding a landscape to install a wider pipe. Thanks for solving all our problems, Paul! read more

Paul was quick to respond to my service call. Once he arrived, he thoroughly explained to me and showed me the problem and offered a few different choices to resolve it. There was never any pressure on what avenue to take. Pricing on all options was very reasonable and the repairs were done quickly and properly. read more

11 yr old water heater was acting up. Found Paul the Plumber on Yelp. Reached out, and he immediately responded requesting pics of current heater. Quoted me and scheduled a replacement the next day. He knows what he's doing, he's efficient, installed a replacement in an hour. Highly recommend Paul the Plumber! read more

Paul came recommended by a trusted friend. When you call Paul the Plumber, you get Paul the Plumber. No lackeys no BS. Our water heater failed. He was there the next morning with a very high quality American Made unit. The job was left near and clean. He even arranged a pick up of the old WH. Paul will be the only plumber in my phone. read more

Great job today! Replaced moms toilet today. A beautiful job! Super guy who is customer service focused. Saved the day again. Fixed moms faucet and installed a new toilet. Efficient and friendly service. Reliable. Thanks!! read more

Reasonable price. Quality work. Responsive and efficient communication. He installed a new water heater for us and the whole installation process was quick considering the quality of the work. Our heater was up and running in about 1-hr and we had hot water in about 1-hr later. He also hauled away the old water heater. read more

I got three bids to replace my hot water heater. Paul was right in the middle. His new unit was also 4 inches shorter than my existing unit, and I wanted a shorter tank to have more angle on the exhaust. He responded quickly to my inquiry, and had an opening the next day. My thermocouple went bad, and we had no hot water. (I could not buy an exact replacement, and you dont want to "jury rig" that part, IMHO.) Paul showed up on time as promised and had the new heater installed pretty fast. We had a flexible gas connector on the old one, and Paul had to replace that with solid gas pipe to meet code. Nice, professional work, and I learned a few tricks by watching him work! If anyone asks me for a plumber, I'm sending them to Paul... read more

Paul is simply the real deal plumber. I hope I never see him again because I do not want to have any plumbing issues. BUT if I do, I am glad that I now have a go-to plumber who knows his stuff, is trustworthy and won't charge up the wazoo! About two weeks ago, our kitchen sink would not drain. My husband tried his best to get it unclogged but to no avail. To top it off, he noticed a leak under the sink. All great timing since we were expecting company for the weekend. The next day, I was frantically looking for a plumber. One guy didn't return my call, another said it would be $300 to start... Well, ok - thank you and goodbye. So to Yelp I go... You guys have never steered me wrong. Paul managed to fit me in between scheduled appointments since he got done early on one. Long story short, he unclogged the kitchen sink, fixed the leak and charged WAY less than the other guy's quote. Need I say more? :) read more

Paul is super nice and we love our new kitchen faucet. He was able to fix our leaking moen hose the same day I called. I liked being able to communicate via text and getting our new Kohler faucet from his design warehouse vs the big box guys like Home Depot and Lowe's that are typically lowered end items. I highly recommend Paul. Thank you for making this process smooth for new home buyers who know nothing about fixing things. read more

I think this is my third review of Paul. We started using his services a few years ago, and have been using and recommending him ever since. This time he replaced our aging 50 gallon water tank with a new hi-efficiency model. He also repositioned the gas line leading to our fireplace. In both cases the prior installation had been done very poorly. Now it is beautiful. Here's a typical Paul story. The day before he was scheduled to do the install of our new water tank, our daughter called in a panic as she had water all over her basement and didn't know who to call. I texted Paul and he immediately got back to me. He was just finishing up a job but said he'd stop by to at least check it out. In the time I expected him to be calling me back to ask for the address again (which he never does because he always gets it right), he called me to let me know he'd finished. He figured out that the water in the discharge hose outside had frozen and blocked the water which caused the motor to burn out. He replaced the sump, fixed the pipe and repositioned some other piping which had been misaligned. He didn't charge for the extras. That made us even happier customers. Reasons to use Paul: 1. Quality work - the guy is a real pro. He knows what he's doing. Works quickly and efficiently. Doesn't hang around to tell you long stories. He's always got another job waiting. 2. Quick responses. Most everything is by text at first, and that's good. He's always been great about getting back to us asap. He may not be able to come that minute, but he will give you an honest and concise response. 3. Fair pricing. He has been here 7 times and not once did I feel that he had overcharged. He is good about explaining what something will cost and giving you alternatives. 4. Nice guy. Friendly. Hard working. Honest. Responsive. We continue to highly recommend Paul the (most excellent) Plumber. read more

He is everything the reviews state and more! We needed our hot water heater replaced. Mind you it was replaced 2014 without any problems. Not this time. We had two other plumbers who said too hard to do and costly. I decided to start goggling. I came across Paul. It was the best thing ever. He was prompt, courteous and got the job done (without any issues). We highly recommend him. We also will use him in the future. Thank you much Paul for a job well done. read more

Paul is awesome! We were doing some drywall patching due to a stain on our ceiling that we THOUGHT was from a window we had replaced. Turned out, the stain was from a leaky drain, and the drywall guy was going to hold off until we found a plumber to fix the leak. We were on a tight project deadline, too. Paul came out on super short notice, and was able to quickly assess and repair the leak. He provided fair pricing upfront. Friendly guy, too! I'd recommend Paul for all your plumbing needs! read more

Paul is amazing! Really good at this job and very honest. This one time , our humidifier was dripping water. I called Him thinking it was a leak but turns out just the filter needed to be replaced. He came all the way, gave me the resolution and did not charge a single penny for this. Highly recommend read more
