I called Jay's because of a vessel sink that was leaking into the cabinet below. They quoted me $1600 to fix a leaky sink! It was more than twice what the cabinet and sink cost together (installed)! I was going to get a new P-trap and pipe (which were less than 3 years old). I can't believe they could quote me that with a straight face. I'm almost sure the solution is a bit of caulk and a wrench. Then they charged me $79 for the insult. I would advise you to get more than one estimate.

Both gentlemen were very professional - conscious of everyone's safety, kept me advised as the work progressed, and finished in a timely manner.

Work was performed by experienced plumber and is of high caliber. Plumber contacted the village to arrange shutoff at outside water line to perform the repair. Price for job seemed high for repair.
Response from Jay's Plumbing
"Hello [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the great review! Part of the price of the job was our Care Club you purchased - where we come out to your home anytime during the year with NO call out fee. And the Care Club includes the annual whole-home plumbing review. We look forward to working with you again."

They send very good people out and they are very knowledgeable and thorough. They are not the lowest priced plumber but the quality of their work is worth it. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

They were very nice on the phone and very responsive in getting someone to our house. Our sink was clogged and normal remedies did not help. When the plumber arrived, the first thing he did was walk around our house and check every other thing related to plumbing, other than the kitchen sink. When I asked what he was going to do with the kitchen sink, he said that I had two choice, to rod it out or to go with hydrojetting. He stressed that the rodding did not come with a warranty, and suggested that it could do more damage to pipes. The hydrojetting had a one-year warranty and they came out again to do it within a year (for "free") if pipes were clogged again. The cost of the hydrojetting was over $700 because they basically charge you for the second time they come out, even if you don't need it (we compared prices for this service to what we found online). The sink was cleared and I was happy I got it done. However, we had a camera down the main line through the basement pipe - instead of the access point in the front yard - and there was a bad blockage. The plumber immediately suggested hydrojetting the main at a cost of $1700. We decided not to get this done, and called our regular plumber for the job. I would not recommend Jay's Plumbing, unless you don't mind paying a fortune and having to deal with a salesman instead just a plumber.

Went well but I was charged a total of $421 for less than 20 minutes of work by plumber and only material used was about one foot of pipe. Price was outrageous but since I was already on the hook for $69 for call out fee, I was pretty much stuck. I felt taken advantage of especially since price quotes are not given over the phone and you are forced to pay a $69 call out fee regardless of wether you use them or not.

Great ... Not only fixed the gas leak but also replaced the plastic pipe on the water heater relief valve with copper at no additional charge

The representative Keith was prompt, informative, and polite. He spent time measuring, checking our gas meter and made several recommendations. He also added to the estimate a maintenance plan for two options, which we didn't request or need. When we didn't sign off on the invoice and pick an option (he asked for a decision by the end of the week), he said there was a $69 cost for the estimate. We were never told about this in advance, and I should have objected but I paid it. I don't appreciate being hit with a charge which seems to be a way for them to get some payment for their trouble - either sign a contract right away or pay for the visit? And their estimate was really high - if we could buy our own tankless for $1465, charging us over $4000 for the labor is not at all competitive.

Eric was great! He tried to fix our old pump and when that failed offered us several options for new pumps. He then installed it rather quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Eric was very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use Jay's again!

Keith W. was very patient and thorough in figuring out the issue we had--it took several attempts to snake the line and he tested to be sure we'd be good. I even face timed with him as my wife was home alone and uncertain what to do! Above and beyond--thanks Keith!

I was trying to get a plumber out to unclog the only toilet in the house. Most of the "A" rated companies on the Angie's List could not be bothered with a 15 minute job. If the other companies could make it out they wanted over $3500.00. Jay's was very accommodating in scheduling a service call with in a few hours.

A friend had recommended Jay's plumbing to me . We needed some work done at my elderly mother's home in Naperville. Scheduling was a breeze. My mother was concerned because she was unable to use the stairs to the basement and she wanted to be able to explain everything going on to the plumber . The plumber that came was very kind and knowledgeable and put my mother at ease. The plumber also discovered problems we were unaware of and we were able to get them fixed to avoid future problems. We would definitely use Jay's plumbing in the future and would highly recommend them.

I originally called Jay's based on Angie's list reviews, I needed some work right away for an impulse washer and dryer purchase which led to a whole laundry room remodel job. The washer and dryer were going to be delivered the day after I called Jay's, and they sent someone first thing in the morning. Eric got the job done in time for the washer and dryer delivery! And that isn't all. During the installation of the washer box fixture the water had to be shut off. When it was turned back on, the hot water heater began to leak from a rusty pipe, and plumber Eric called the office and the on call team got the bad water heater replaced that evening as well! While certainly not free, the work was excellent and they help me a bit with a discount. I don't think I would ever call any other company after calling Jay's.

Office was very courteous and professional. We scheduled service to move plumbing for new dishwasher. Plumber arrived on time and was really cool working with my Dad. They presented and discussed several options with pros and cons. They did great work and came back the next day with parts that needed to be ordered to complete the job. Highly recommend.
