Dentzer Bernard Plbr

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!!!!

Dentzer plumbing responded with in an hour or so of leaving a message requesting a quote. The plumber was willing to work with my availability. The clogged drain was taken care of in a timely fashion and the price was right.

Dentzer plumbing was amazing! We called on Tuesday, they were here on Wednesday! Very friendly and fast work. I will gladly recommend them to all of my friends and use again and again!

I have used Dentzer Plumbers for a few jobs in my condo. When I called to have a dripping bathtub spout looked at I got Bernie. I made an appt with him and he was a NO SHOW and NO CALL even when I called to see if he was still coming. I have had Joe in the past and he was always on time and called if times changed. If you call Dentzer ask for Joe and not Bernie.

We have used Dentzer Plumbers for several projects in our house - our hot water heater stopped working right after we got back from the hospital with a newborn, we had a leak in a wall and we replaced our kitchen faucet. All three times, the Dentzer family came through like knights in shining armor! The hot water heater was fixed in very short order, the leak also and the kitchen faucet - that takes the cake. The faucet came from a hoity-toity faucet place downtown, but once the old faucet was removed and installation of the new faucet began Joe discovered that there was a key component of the faucet missing from the package. It was early Friday afternoon before a Sunday holiday (Mother's Day, I think). He went the next project and I went dashing down to the faucet place and played mix and match with their service dept to make sure I had all the parts. Then Joe came back AFTER 5PM to finish the job so that we would have a functioning sink for the holiday. These fellows are reasonably priced and no-hassle. We love working with a family company that knows what's important - doing a great job and taking care of the customer with no b.s. We will use no other plumber.

Honest, reasonable rates, practical approach. What else do you want in a plumber? We've used him for big jobs (basement excavations...) and run of the mill stuff.
