This company is first class all the way. My shut off valve under the kitchen sink burst late yesterday afternoon. I called Joe Dentzer and he responds with in minutes. Came to the house within the half hour and promptly replaced the broken valve. This was done at 5:00PM at night and after two days of heavy flooding and work for the plumber. I would use them again at anytime necessary. Ken Lewin

More than plumbers, friends, since 1984 they've been our go to guys. Loved Bernie and Joe carries on the tradition. Call them, you won't be sorry.

We have used Bernie and Joe for three plumbing jobs in the past 2 months. They diagnosed and repaired a hole in our waste stack; diagnosed and repaired a tub overflow valve; and extended our vent stack through the roof. Bernie and Joe are old school, very likeable gentlemen who do quality, honest work. I hope to never see either of them again, but if I need a good plumber I will definitely call them.

Bernie Dentzer, Joe Dentzer and Willy are an amazing team. We had our waterheaters replaced six months ago. Yesterday we had no hot water due to our pilots being out. Blanton responded but recommended replacement! Needing more expertise we called Bernie and he and Willy responded immediately. They thoroughly assessed the problem and skillfully re-lit both water heaters. We saved so much money! Thank you for your honesty, ethics and commitment to service. We are calling you first next time! Thanks for your years of service to our Edgewater and Rogers Park communities.

My neighbor recommended them and I am glad I called. He came within a couple of hours of my call and had my sink unclogged in less than half an hour, his fee was very reasonable. Another business that I had come out before him just took a look and told me it would be almost $600 because they would have to cut out pipes. He got right to work and there was no need to cut any pipes. I will definitely use them again.

We had a leak in our kitchen. I called a few plumbers. Joe called me back. He said it would be a day before he could come out because he was backed up. But he suggested we turn off the water line to the dishwasher. Though I couldn't pinpoint the leak, his suggestion stopped it so we were able to dry the floor. The next day, Joe came on time, confirmed a damaged water hose was leaking, said the installers had mistakenly kinked the line and quickly replaced it with a new hose he got from his truck. Then he went with me to check our downstairs neighbors' unit to make sure water wasn't leaking there. This is a family business that I will gladly continue to support. Good service, fair prices, no drama.

Used Dentzer plumbing multiple times at the recommendation of my property management company, and thought I was getting decent work. Turns out I wasn't.

I always felt they were expensive, but I didn't realize just how absurd their pricing was. They were also not only misleading/deceptive on price for a later (very simple) job of just replacing a couple of hoses, but also did absolutely nothing to clean up the area where they worked. They're unwilling to bend on the absurd price, and also claim to have not received my check (which I suppose I'll believe because it doesn't appear to be cashed) - so now I have to cancel a check and send another... Yeah, checks... like grandma writes... because they don't have a way to pay online. They even threatened collections even though I had documentation that I sent payment a SECOND time, and had to cancel the first payment.

Even worse, I confirmed that some of the work they'd done was of poor quality. In particular, they mounted / clipped some copper pipes up with a different metal - a huge plumbing no-no which I didn't know at the time, but which a plumber alerted me to.

Not being one to believe any contractor who badmouths the previous one (because they ALL do it), I did some research and confirmed that in fact this was a dangerous and poor practice because it would cause eventual corrosion. Google ""Galvanic Corrosion"" and see for yourself.

A plumber who can't follow basic best practices is not deserving of my business.

Stay far away from these folks.

I have had occasion to call this fantastic plumber twice so far in 2018. He was referred to me by 3 or 4 FB friends. He's excellent. You're going to pay pretty well when you have to call a plumber. But Joe's going to show up fast and do a great job. In plumbers you need an Old School guy who has seen everything and who knows Chicago's plumbing. This is him.

So happy we choose Dentzer Plumbing to replace our bath tub spout. We really wanted a shower in our guest bath and now we have one. Our maintenance person for two years told us it was not possible and that it could cost hundreds and maybe over thousand dollars if the pipes broke. Dentzer warned us the pipe could break but made it seem as though it was not a big deal if it did. He had a great can do attitude and got the job done within budget too! Also arrived early! Thank you!!!!
