Service rep asked for keys and pulled the car in right away for repair. I waited in the lobby, which is comfortable. They have a coffee machine but I had brought my own. I had also brought my own reading material as I knew it would be at least 30 to 40 minutes. It was 40 minutes when he came back with my keys and had finished the repair. He went over the warranty information with me a little(the rep I talked with on the phone had told me about the warranty in more detail) and put the receipt in the warranty packet. I received a discount due to being a State Farm insurance holder. He washed the car once finished with the work. They would have vacuumed but I had just done that earlier in the day, so it didn't need it. Upon arriving to my car, I looked for area of repair and it took me a minute to find it. The ding was in the middle of the windshield, so even before it was repaired, you really had to look for it. It now looks like a small drop of super glue but I doubt anyone would even notice unless they are looking really hard for it on purpose. They did a great job! Fast, efficient, and affordable.

Another issue we had is that we had called Jim out a few weeks before for the same problem and he said he thought the problem was the tank on the back and changed some hardware in the tank and charged $200+ for that. Then we noticed it leaking a week later and that is when we called him out again and charged us $400.00 to reset toilet. While here we asked him how much he'd charge to replace our sink disposal and he quoted my wife a price of $450.00!! We have since asked the other plumber for an estimate and they quoted us a price of $250.00. Overall I'm confident that he is a good plumber but WAAAAAY overpriced.

We do however, have a cat that lives in our bedroom and the young man was very cautious about not letting him out and I really appreciated that. It took about 2 1/2 hours to fix everything and install the new components. We were quite happy with his work and his attitude about his work. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and timely.

Bruce and his helper John were recommended to me by my brother as dependable and would do a great job. There were some challenges with the plumbing in the shower that Bruce was able to fix. Getting the old tub out was a job that required breaking the cast iron apart. Not an easy task. Fortunately, the new tub was much lighter but required a cement underlayment that Bruce took care to install. The tile was the 12 x 24 size which took some skill to install on the floor and up the shower walls to the ceiling. He also added a strip of decorative tile in a band around the shower. A three level shelf insert was inserted into the back of the shower wall and covered with the decorative tiles. Bruce had to crawl up into the attic to install the halogen tub lights. In place of a narrow linen closet behind the shower, I had Bruce install a full length cabinet with pull-out draws. They skim-coated the walls before painting to ensure the walls were smooth. Final touches were added with the mirror, light, fan, and light switch.

They were on time and worked until the job was finished. Their work quality and concern to get the work done correctly was top drawer. And they were honest, telling me the quote for materials was high, and revising their bill lower. Overall I was very happy and will use them again."

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Rochester, IL
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
