They have a good rating and did well.  They came on time and they were fine.  They cleaned up properly; took out the water heater.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you so much for your review! We are very glad that the new water heaters are working well. These will surely give you many years of good, reliable, efficient service. We use brass fittings at the water supply connections to and from the tank to help prevent electrolysis (this method is much better at preventing this corrosion than the much more commonly installed dielectric unions), and a full port drain valve to help remove sediment during service intervals. Thank you again for having us over to do this work for you."

Like so many people, we endured the incredible rainstorm in late June that our current system couldn't withstand.  Unfortunately, we had to seek professional assistance in not only repairing but preventing future damage.  I had worked with Mike Goode before several times in my current house and a rental property, and without hesitation, I knew they were the ones.  This did not stop me from getting quotes from other companies, but Mike's professionalism and value of the customer, ensured Goode Plumbing would get the job done.
Since we were getting new wood floors provided by the insurance company, we wanted to make sure it never never happened again.  This involved doing three separate projects including: installing a flood control system with battery back-up, connecting downspouts directly into sewer (instead of into an ejector pit) and installing drain tile.  In addition, while having these professionals on-sight, we leveraged their time and ability to also run a new water line, change out some old faucets, clean and perform maintenance on our water heater, etc.
All of these tasks were quite a project, but Mike Goode and his whole team were relentless in their pursuit of quality work.  They worked non-stop over 1.5 months until this was done.  I have never seen a company so competent, honest, dedicated and kind.  This is not hyperbole, this is reality.  An example of this is when they were attaching a new water line to an existing one.  The line didn't end up working correctly, and Mike and his team came on a Saturday, worked late into the night and for no extra cost worked until it was done right.  
I know the value of Angie's list reviews, and from my and my wife's perspective, Goode and his team earned every positive review they've received and especially the one I'm sharing now.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you SO much for the great review! We appreciate it very much. We have done several service related repairs for this Member as well as this recent large project, and besides the work, we also appreciate this member's great personality. He has been patient and interested in the work being done. This project included: -Rerouting cast iron downspout drain lines -Installing a flood control system in the front yard -Drain tile system -Repairing of several small items 9drains, faucets, etc) -Adding water supply to deck and garage. Since this review, this Member has also just rewarded us with the installation of a Rinnai tankless water heater. We are very glad that this member is happy with us-our goal is to leave each customer with this type of experience!"

Very considerate and professional.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you very much for your review. We properly rebuilt this specialty toilet. We come across a lot of toilet tanks that have improper or poor quality parts that were installed either at the factory, or by someone during a previous repair. When OEM parts are best, that is what we use. In many cases, we can actually improve over original quality and performance with some upgrades, which we will do when this is an option. We appreciate your review and the work, and are glad that you are happy with us!"

Everything went well. Bob and his assistant arrived on time and work was done in a timely manner. I would definitely call them for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you for having us over! We appreciate the work and your review. Bob has, been with us for several years, and I am very glad that you were happy with him! The average life span of a good quality ejector pump is five to seven years-and since good quality pumps are not inexpensive, we were happy to deliver some good news in that regard. Thank you again for your kind words!"

We were very pleased with the installation and repair service.  The service people wear shoe covers when they enter our house (very important to me) and they clean up well after they are done with their work.  
I did not know that the shower handle was under warranty so Jeff bought the part and installed it.  When the manufacturer sent me the part, Jeff made an effort to return for reimbursement the manufacturer-supplied part, but the dealer would not accept it.  Then the part got misplaced at the Goode office.  What impressed me was that they offered to give me credit for the cost of the part during the next service call.  The part did show up eventually and it was brought back to me during the last visit last week.
Also, when one of the toilets was being installed, Jeff noticed a very small scratch or crack on the toilet rim.  He brought this to my attention and Goode ordered another unit.  Since the imperfection was not easy to spot, Jeff  easily could have just continued with the installation and be done with it.  I appreciate the attention to the excellence in quality of service.
A few of weeks ago,  I noticed that there was excess silicone seal at the base of one of the toilets.  I noticed it because dirt was sticking to it.  The installation was done three months ago.  I called Goode and they were very solicitous in getting someone to return to clean up the excess caulking after so many scheduling challenges.  Mike the owner himself came and cleaned up the area.  
I might also add that Carrie the admin person (spelling?) is very good at following up.  I have been so pleased with Goode that when my next door neighbors asked for another plumber recommendation, I told them about Goode Plumbing and I have gotten positive feedback from them.  A relief since my initial recommendation did not work out for either of us and we (our neighbors and ourselves)  still have unresolved issues with the other company.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you very much for your review! We appreciate the work as well as your kind words. As this member mentioned, there were several items repaired. The shower valve was rebuilt, and the member received warranty covered parts at later date. I do apologize for the issue with the handle, but glad that we did locate it and that things worked out well. We do try our best to spot other potential issues and inform our customers, as was the case here with the toilet. Thank you also for the referral!"

We contacted this vendor as he is near our condo that we rent out. We specifically advised the person who answered the phone when we called what the issue is, that our renter would be calling to set up a convenient appointment, and that before any repairs were performed that we wanted a call to give us an estimate of the cost. We left our cell phone number with the provider and indicated that we needed a copy of the receipt for the charge for the estimate and for any subsequent approved work performed to be mailed to us for tax purposes 
The vendor went to the condo at the appointed time, but then went ahead and repaired the problem without contacting us further. According to our renter, he spent about an hour there installing a new faucet cartridge and charged nearly $300 for the work. He left a copy of the receipt with the renter but never sent one to us. Our renter finally sent us the copy that he left and it explicitly says on top that the receipt should be mailed to us and includes our address as well as our cell phone number for the call for the estimate.
In the end, the work was fine, but it was expensive, we were not contacted to approve work as promised, and we had to go to an unnecessary effort to track down a receipt. I assume that if this vendor comes to your home that you'll have more control over the situation, but given that this was at a remote location, you may have issues if your situation is similar.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you for your review, and I am sorry that you had a few issues. I am glad of course that you were happy with our work, but of course I want our customers to be happy with all aspects of the service that they receive from Goode Plumbing. As the member stated, he is the owner and arranged with his tenant to let us into a rental unit. We do this regularly, and we very seldom have an issue. We do need to be able to get in touch with the owners to let them know what we find and the pricing and to get approval for the work. I spoke with both the member and the plumber that we sent out. I also looked at the invoice, and there was a note about mailing it a different address than the one we were servicing. My records do indicate that we mailed it out, so I am not sure why he did not receive it. My plumber could not recall if he attempted to contact the owner, as it was a month ago, to be completely honest, so there is the chance that we made an error here, and for that I do apologize. The price for the work was reasonable for the work performed. After speaking with the Member's wife, she did say that the price seemed high but she was not really sure what it should cost. I do realize that the cost of a licensed, professional plumber can seem steep, but I am confident that given our workmanship and quality, we are very reasonable. As I mentioned, we do the landlord/tenant arrangement regularly with very few issues, but since there was the chance that we did make an error in communication, I did work with the Member on making an adjustment to the invoice."

We had a small communication problem initially using email.  When I telephoned and left a message Mike called shortly thereafter.  He came the same evening & determined I needed a new cartridge for the cold water.  Might as well change left cartridge as well before it becomes a problem.  George came the next afternoon and installed both cartridges.  Job was done quickly & cleanly.  Faucets work great.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you very much for the review. As the member stated, I came by later in the day, after the supply house that carried parts for this faucet were closed, so I took the faucet apart so that I could match the cartridge up the next day. After obtaining the part, I sent our field manager and excellent plumber, George, over to reassemble things. I am glad it all worked out quickly, and appreciate the work very much."

Response from Goode Plumbing

Punctual, very informative, cleaned up after his work was done, and professional. Answered any questions I had. 

Response from Goode Plumbing
"Not sure If that was a plumber that did that last bit of work-but that is ok, because one did this time! Glad that you were happy with our plumber, Brian, who ordered and installed some specialty toilets and completed some other repairs in your home. We know how busy life can be, so we also appreciate your taking the time to write a review about us. We installed two toilets, using new wax rings, anchors, and supply lines. We also installed new kitchen sink drain work, using a high quality 17 guage tubular series of drain work."

They were very professional, nice, real friendly, and we liked them. They are knowledgeable.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you very much for having us over to install your new water heater. We try to do things a little different from the norm-we use brass fittings to connect the new copper piping sections to the water heater, to help prevent corrosion more completely than do the more commonly used dielectric unions. We replaced the factory drain valve with a full port valve to allow for more complete sediment removal during service intervals-which we recommend every year or so. We truly appreciate your kind words as well as the work that you rewarded us with."

I was having a problem with two drains in the basement at my Father's house. Every time it rained the drains would back up. I contacted Goode Plumbing and made the appointment to have someone come out and fix the problem.
Bob D. showed up on tiime and listened to what I had to say. He determined that the catch basin needed to be cleaned and the main drain needed to be cleaned.
Bob made the arraingments for the pump out for Friday and then came back on Monday to clean out the main drain. It took about four hours to finally get the drain clear. He even sugested I call 311 to have the city clean out the main drain in the street because thats where the problem I had was.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you for rewarding us with this work! In this case, we had a special vacuum truck pump the catch basin out, and dispose of the waste in a responsible manner. Our plumber, Bob Devore, then used a Ridgid K1500 drain cleaning machine to remove tree roots and other matter from the house drain and sewer. We truly appreciate your taking the time to write a review here as well!"

Very pleased with the communication and service provided by Goode.  The service person was extremely professional and sought additional advice when he did not have the answers.  We will definitely use them again.  I am not sure if the price was fair or not, as this time is the first to have our Rinnai Hot Water System serviced.
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Hello and thank you for your review! Plumbing Technician Mike Davis went out and was able to repair this water heater after she and I exchanged some texts late the night before. While in many cases tankless water heater issues are installation errors, this one proved to have a dirty flame sensing rod, and was overdue for regular service including a complete flushing of the heat exchanger, which Mike handled while he was there. Glad things are working properly again!"

We had purchased a hot water heater flush coupon - the work on that was done perfectly.    We also had our water line that developed a pin hole leak in the elbow.  Due to the awkward space (in the downstairs closet), it took a bit of time to correct the issue.  The plumber also had to run out several times for the right part but did not charge us extra.  Overall, we were very pleased and would hire Goode Plumbing again!
Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you for having us over for the water heater flush and the repair. We recommend having your water heater flushed every year or, at worst, two. This helps remove sediment from the tank that can shorten the life of the tank, as well as cause issues with faucets. We recommend replacing the factory installed drain valve on the water heater with our full port valve, which allows for more complete sediment removal. We also appreciate your review here!"

The other day I attempted to adjust the mixer in my shower
as it was scalding people. It looked like a simple project?that turned into
something much more complicated when the nozzle wouldn?t work any more to turn
off the water.
But it all ended ok as Goode Plumbing came to help. I called
them right after I couldn?t get the water to shut off from the nozzle and had
to shut off the water in the entire house. Mike got in touch with me within 30
minutes of calling to say that while they were booked, he was going to try his
hardest to get to our house as soon as he could since we couldn?t turn on our
water until this was fixed. He had me text him pictures of the issue so that he
could ensure he had everything he needed. He was great about keeping me
appraised of his progress all day and was able to come right around 5.
Once there, I asked to watch as he fixed the faucet so I
could see where I had gone wrong. He replaced the two Koehler parts and
explained to me how they were actually difficult to figure out since they
weren?t labeled at all. He also ensure we had all of the correct valves turned
off. We?re in the bottom unit of a three unit building, so we have all of the
shut-off valves. He also ensured that my original issue of the water mixing
improperly was resolved and that everything was in working order, including
advising us on how to fill a hole by the bathtub spout to ensure water wasn?t?
getting into the wall. He showed me, too where the shut off valves for just the
shower are for future reference. (Turns out the tiling company hadn?t cut the
hole large enough so we couldn?t access them.)
Mike was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and
professional. I greatly appreciated him coming out on such short notice and
ensuring that everything was working as it should. I would highly recommend
Goode Plumbing, and we will definitely calling them exclusively in the future.

Response from Goode Plumbing
"Thank you very much for rewarding us with the service call, and for taking the time to post this review! The Member called with the issues she mentioned with her shower. The model is question is a little tricky to work on-I commend her on getting as far as she did with it. Thanks to her text, I was able to make sure I had the parts on hand (I stock this replacement part but needed to be sure) since I knew I would not make it to her home while suppliers were still open. Once there, I replaced the needed parts with new ones, and put everything back together. The member likes to do some home repairs on her own, so I showed her how this faucet went together and explained what other valves in her mechanical room controlled."

WOW!  What a great experience with Mike Goode.  Sent the contractor an email with a requested time for service.   His receptionist was out, but he made sure I was contacted and he was able to schedule the requested time, which was only a one day notice.  He was here on time, completed the work efficiently and was very reasonable.  We will definitely keep his name in rolodex for any future plumbing needs.  Thanks Mike!

"Thank you for your review here. I was a C student in high school, if I am honest, because I did not take it seriously enough, but these days want to see nothing but straight A's from both myself and my plumbers-so while a B is not terrible, our goal is higher! I am glad that you were overall satisfied with us, but would like your experience to be the best possible. Regarding the C in price, I do feel that our pricing, while certainly not "cheap", is a very good value given the work and customer service that we try to offer. Professional plumbing in general is not inexpensive, but I am confident that we do well compared to our true competitors. As for the B in quality, if there is anything that I can do to improve this, please let me know by calling me personally on (773)407-1884. Thank you, Mike Goode"
