Had a burst hot water heater, they were fast and had my new tank replaced before the weekend, saving me from cold showers for a weekend. Also fixed my supply shutoff valve, the cost of which was less than a "service fee" that another local company tried to charge me. Neighbors vouched for and have been using Redbird for years and so will I. read more

Good luck with overpriced not quality work from a rude owner. Wouldn't let them touch anything I own.

Would give zero stars if this was an option. Needed a water heater replaced under warranty that was originally installed by Red Bird and called Chris several times in one week without the courtesy of a return call. He finally did call the following week and recommended we contact the manufacturer for verification that it would be covered. We did that on the same day then left several more messages for Chris to complete the job with no response. Needless to say we ended up contacting a more responsive company called Pipeworks. They came out the next day and completed the job. If you are in need of a plumber, don't waste your time contacting Dead Bird Plumbing! read more

I've had great service from Redbird Plumbing and appreciate their quick replies and service. Last fellow even offered great tips for upkeep. I've only used them for smaller jobs, but would recommend them for sure. read more

I had 3 faucuts to be installed and a leaky toilet. I callled Redbird Plumbing and they within 24 hours called and was ready to hrlp me out. They arrived 20 minutes early from the scheduled appt. and got right to work. They knew right away was needed for the toilet and had someone drop by a hardware store to get the needed part rather than leave the job. We had a issue with our sink faucet holes not working with one of the new faucets we bought and they worked with us until we got a replacement. They were professsional and cleaned up everything nicely. I'm extremely happy with the results and would recommend them for your plumbing needs. read more

Prompt service and solved plumbing problem. Two workers arrived and were very professional..

So I called this morning. Got a call back before message was left. I told him what we needed. He said easy I can do that. I was happy he then said he can come today at noon. Even better. I ran to store rushed home got all ready. Moved stuff. And wait. Um noon come n gone. I called no answer. I wait and now it's been an hour. Still no call back. Then an hour and a half. No call. I am very disappointed. I was told he won't go to some areas. Um odd. Anyway now I have another guy coming sadly tomorrow. So I'll never try them again read more

Chris is a good communicator and explain everything thoroughly and answered all questions. Prices were fair and I will be using his services again. He did a great job and was Johnny on the spot. read more

I was very happy with the service I received from Redbird Plumbing. My hot water heater went out, and no hot water is an emergency! They came out quickly, the technician Josh, was fast and efficient. He explained the new unit, and all I needed to know..I would absolutely use them again and recommend to the BloNo Community. read more

Had an issue with my outside faucet and couldn't get the handle to stop turning to shut off. Talked to Chris and he had one of his plumbers Bradley out in an hour! I found Bradley to be very friendly and honest. Gave me the option to fix or replace. I decided to replace since the faucet is 20+ years old. It only took about an hour (had to cut out drywall in ceiling to expose the pipe), explained what he did and the warranty, wrote up the bill which was very reasonable for the amount of work required. I would HIGHLY recommend Redbird Plumbing. They saved the day for me. read more

Came out to do a tree root encapsulation of my drain line in the yard. Came and did the job, but left an accent pipe several feet extended from the ground. I was told they would come out once the ground settled after the dig out and cut it and ap it again. 2 years later. Will not answer calls, return calls etc. Half assed read more

I am telling you that this is the best service I have gotten in a long time. The two service men that came were early and called ahead to let us know they were coming. They replaced a hot water heater for us. Such nice professional highest quality work. When the installation was finished their vacuum came out and everything that was touched by them was also cleaned by them. Very friendly, kind and answered all my questions. I felt I could tell when I talked to Chris the owner on the phone and setup the job that he was a straight forward honest person. My instinct was right. Thanks to you and your crew for a great job. I hope all your customers in the future are privileged to experience the same satisfaction that I have. Roger Beeler Sr read more

I was satisfied with the work, but everyone I interacted with was extremely rude. I will not use them in the future.

They installed a defective faucet for my grandparents a few months back and replaced the bad faucet with one my grandfather purchased. They said they would issue a refund for said faucet but after several attempts to reach out because no refund we finally just gave up read more

Highly recommend this company for small and large jobs. I have used them several times and the prices are very reasonable, prompt, friendly and stand behind their work. Today's install was a faucet, shut off valves and a garbage disposal. read more

We recently had a 13yr old water heater begin leaking. I contacted Redbird Plumbing, Covenant, and 3 others. The product knowledge that Chris w Redbird had was impressive and spot-on. Of the 5 outfits, Redbird has the best parts AND labor warranty. Chris helped us obtain an exact match to our current water heater (not0standard). Their turnaround for installing a new water heater was same-day. The crew was polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. I highly recommend Redbird! (credit to Covenant Plumbing for also being informed, courteous, and well priced...they did not have the exact heater I was looking for) read more

Water heater pilot light went out. Called On. Saturday morning around 10:30. They said they should be here around noon but they would text. Never heard from them. We called. Left messages. Nothing. I waited to write a review as I understand emergencies happened. read more

Redbird Plumbing is fast, knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced. The know what they are doing and will answer all questions They don't try to upsell either! We have called on them for over 10 years. A locally owned company! Hope the owner never retires! Ps. Besides plumbing jobs, the do plumbing inspections for the city and cost a little bit less there too! Love a company that saves us money and does a good job too! read more

I had an appointment for Wed, but I got a call mid-afternoon Tues saying that he was available and had the proper equipment on his truck if I was available then instead. He arrived just a few minutes later and worked steadily to solve my problem (a blocked kitchen drain). Along the way, he identified another area that needed to be watched because pipes were corroded but not yet leaking, and I elected to go ahead and have him fix it then. He covered his shoes, his workspace and my floor (I made a bigger mess just emptying the undersink cabinet). He explained everything he did, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely call them again! read more

This is THE plumbing company to call if you ever need anything! Why? Because the owner is honest and very upfront. We used them last year for a plumbing issue and were given the quote upfront before they even came to our house. And they resolved the problem very quickly and charged exactly what the quote was. Well, last night we were without hot water so I called them this morning. The owner Chris called me back and talked me through a few preliminary items and we were able to solve the problem without them having to come to our house. I imagine a lot of other plumbers would not have done this, but Chris took the time to help me over the phone even though it cost him a service call. Chris (the owner) is very honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. In the past I have used a few other plumbers and really like Redbird much better. Not to say anything bad about the other companies, but my experiences with Chris have been excellent and professional. I highly recommend using Redbird Plumbing! read more

Redbird Plumbing is awesome! They were referred to us by a friend and met all of our expectations! They were all very prompt, professional, and friendly! Very knowledgeable in their trade. We would highly recommend these guys!! read more

I called Redbird plumbing and they were very helpful over the phone with the problem that I was having. They said that they would send a truck out right away. Working from home, I then cancelled my next couple of meetings to clear some time on my schedule to meet with the plumber. An hour passed, no big deal, but I couldn't cancel my entire day of work to wait for the plumber. So I called back and just asked for an update on when I could be expecting them out to my place. This is where my one star review comes from. Peeved that I called them again to check up on a time after an hour had passed, the guy on the phone told me that he was dropping my ticket and asked me to find a different plumber. "We're not going to deal with someone who's constantly 'up our butts'. Please just call someone else." And that's it. Hangs up and won't come do our plumbing. read more

Chris has always been great to work with. He is knowledgeable and easy to work with. His company is affordable, quick and reliable. We have used Chris twice in as many years and each time they are efficient, affordable, and know their stuff. When they were out today, they diagnosed a bad sump pump, which they installed 1.5 years earlier. They replaced it with no further questions, siting defective and the warranty will take care of it. They went above and beyond giving us a point of access. I appreciate knowing that I can trust the people in my home and the quality of work will always be top notch. read more

Chris (owner) was very responsive and great about walking us through the complex problem and got us back up and running for a fair price. He also kept the work space clean. He has earned our trust and business in the future! read more

I was recommended to Redbird Plumbing by a general contractor. Chris came out to give me an estimate very quickly after our initial call. He was very informative on what needed to be done, how and why. The same afternoon two individuals came to complete my first round of work. They were very quick, efficient and completed the work well. Looking forward to having Redbird back to finish my next round of projects! read more

We have been remodeling over the past couple years. We have had Redbird Plumbing come out several times to do work. They are very helpful, professional, and timely. They are our go-to plumbing company, we would not use anyone else. read more

Redbird is great. We've used them twice. Both times, their work has been spectacular, their employees courteous, and their prices reasonable. Prompt, pleasant, perfect - what more can you ask for? Our water heater started leaking in late December. I first called D&R Plumbing about it. They came out and quoted somewhere just shy of $2200 for replacement, and required payment up front. We scrounged it up, but I started to get a bit shaky on the cost, which was twice as much as I expected. I called Redbird, not knowing if I'd get anyone since it was so late. Chris gave me a call back. I talked with him, and was quoted about half that. Fortunately, I was able to cancel with D&R before they did any work and get a refund of everything but their basic visit fee (which was still a rather absurd $150). The very next day - New Year's Eve, no less - two guys showed up and did the replacement in about an hour and a half or so. Everything is still working great, and we're very happy with the service we received. We'll be calling Redbird first from now on for all our plumbing. We saved over a thousand dollars over D&R, and we're thrilled with the quality of work. read more

I've used Redbird several times and they are excellent in estimating when they can/will arrive. They get the job done quickly and have not had any issues with their work at all. The folks working there are very friendly too. read more

I have used Redbird Plumbing now for the last two or three years. With a large family and lots of events you can imagine I have used them a lot. They are absolutely the best in town. I have used almost all other plumbers in town and having lived here 20+ years they are the best! Every Individual Redbird plumber has been competent, friendly, efficient and I would say they have the most fair, competitive prices in town. read more

Easy to work with and very adaptable on a complete bathroom tear out and rebuild.

Wish I could give zero stars. Called yesterday to set up appointment. He said he could fit me in at 2 yesterday or anytime today . We agreed to yesterday at 2. Gave him my number and an alternate number. He never showed. Never called. Nothing yesterday or today. Wasted my time. Don't let him waste yours. read more

I find Chris and his crew to be very helpful, courteous and prompt. I always feel like I am getting a fair price and good service. I would recommend them to friends and family. read more

I didn't have a regular trusted plumber until I used Redbird Plumbing in Normal. They were highly rated in the "Best of" the Pantagraph and so I called them. Since the first time, they have served me multiple times with both big jobs and smaller ones. They are responsive, do a great job and have fair pricing. If you are looking for good service, I highly recommend them. read more

I agree with Tammy K. of Normal; Redbird doesn't even deserve 1 star. The first plumber installed a new sump pump and lid. He cut holes 3 inches closer to edge than prior lid As he was leaving, he told me to keep an eye on float switch because he was not happy with how close the float switch was to the wall and may have to come back and run new pipe. I called Chris and he removed a cardboard shim the first plumber used to keep the float switch away from wall; then Chris screwed a J-hook into my new lid instead. After Chris left the float switch kept rubbing against the wall causing the main pump to run constantly or not at all. Third plumber was sent to fix issue; he put a 45 degree angle pipe under the lid to relocate the sump pump allowing float switch clearance. The final price was more than the original quote and nobody informed me of the higher costs prior to completing the work. When I questioned Chris what a "no-hub" is because I was charged for it and I really did not know what it was. Chris texted me back "Is this a joke?" No Chis it is not a joke; it is a customer with a question about a charge. I informed all 3 plumbers that I mitigate radon gas and want a sealed lid. Now I get to caulk all the holes that plumbers left in the lid. I discussed radon gas with each plumber and none of the plumbers at Redbird were concerned with radon gas. I am not happy that they are willing to risk my children's safety for their convenience even after I paid for a new lid. read more

Redbird Plumbing installed the wrong battery on my sump pump battery back-up system. Chris could not identify the problem after multiple tries. After giving me the run-around, I finally called CK Brush. They installed the correct battery. Redbird will not refund my money. I have filed claims with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General. He still refuses to pay. I will be taking this to small claims court. read more

We've used Redbird 3 times in the last 18 months: * gushing tub faucet * toilets that won't stop running * dead garbage disposal With each call, Chris/Redbird was there same day, and never once tried to upsell to run up the score. If we just needed a part, that's what he charged us. If we needed replacement, he didn't trick us into buying the Cadillac. We got what we needed. Quick. No nonesense. Stuff gets fixed. Affordable. read more

Replaced a water heater. Priced with multiple plumbers. Redbird was very competitive with their quote. They were very easy to work and finished the job faster than I expected. I'll use them again for my plumbing needs. read more

Responsive and affordable and they got the job done fast. No more leaky faucets and running toilets!

I have not been impressed by very many small businesses in the Bloomington-Normal area. But Redbird Plumbing was a standout exception. They worked with me to find the best solution for an affordable price, and they did great work. They made me aware of my options and suggested sensible alternatives to help make the project less of a burden. read more
