Recommended Customer Reviews

As a long standing client I can attest to the professionalism of the Kuhn Plumbing team beginning with expedient and efficient scheduling by Andrew and Mike to the intelligent diagnostics by James and Nate and finally the superb Plumbing work despite any challenges and complexities by Nate and Marty. No Runs No Drips No Errors!! Excellent Plumbing!

Have had them out twice now. Both times to fix problems due to proper installation from a previous owner. First time was to extend the collar where the toilet meets the floor, and second to fix where the sink drain pipe had come disconnected from the trap.
The second problem was last week. I called at 12:30, Nick was here by 1:30, and done by 2:30. Couldn't have been nicer, and did a great job!
I don't remember the first guy's name, but he was equally as nice.
I would recommend Kuhn to anyone who will listen.
Thanks!!!

Hired this company for plumbing needs in my condo in August 2019.
The good: very prompt response by email, scheduled me right away, willing to work in a high rise building (many companies do not like to work in high rises), fixed my plumbing issues
Why 3 stars? I thought the pricing was too high, especially because the plumber had to leave for 1 hour to grab additional parts and I was charged the same rate ($188 per hour) while he traveled to and from the shop. While I was told the clock would keep running when he left beforehand, I did not think it would be the same rate. I was also disappointed it took over 2 weeks to process my payment and provide me my receipt.

We own a 70 year old town house on the north side of Chicago. Kuhn have been our go-to plumbers for a wide variety of issues from servicing our radiant heating system to the city pumping sediment into our house (while a new building was built nearby) to aging galvanized pipes. Their guys are always courteous, professional and knowledgeable and I know they will fix any problem that arises.

I recently tried another plumber service when I had used Kuhn Plumbing for a multitude of projects big and small in the past. I wanted to save money. Well, you get what you pay for. I made a mistake.
Kuhn Plumbing provides HIGH QUALITY AND EFFICIENT SERVICE. They have a PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL PLUMBERS. They are able to diagnose problems easily and then achieve success fixing them.
I am sorry, Kuhn's, that I did not use your services recently. I will not make the same mistake twice. And I didn't end up saving that much money in the long run.

My husband and I were in a real bind this morning and decided to choose Kuhn Plumbing as they had excellent reviews and were located in our neighborhood. The customer service from the get go was excellent and the man who did the scheduling was very helpful in understanding the nature of our emergency.
Within a couple short hours we were greeted by Ryan who made us feel at ease from beginning to end.
He was confident, professional, honest and overall a very genuine human being. My husband and I highly recommend Kuhn plumbing and especially Ryan. Thanks again

Nate has been to my condo twice and did a great job each time. Knowledgeable, efficient and doesn't waste any time. I've had some bad experiences with local plumbers and he is the best by far.

These guys left our building with inadequate water pressure after we paid them over $2000 to restore our pressure. Then they had the audacity to charge me another $200 service call to come fix the pressure after the first $2000 didn't get the job done and had the extra gumption to threaten a collection agency because I was disheartened by the new $200 bill. I tell everyone I know on Facebook and otherwise what a bad business this is.

I continue to have great experiences working with Kuhn Plumbing. I found out I needed some updates and repairs to both bathrooms and the kitchen. For the first series of repairs Ryan came and was terrific. I scheduled another visit and Nick showed up and could not have been nicer. They both were patient and answered all my questions and went above and beyond the regular routine. Today, Nick showed me the repairs and updates. He walked me through it and explained what he did and why. I feel completely confident of their work and really appreciate it. I should be all set for quite awhile. Also, I know my condo management and the engineers like having them work here as well.

I have worked with Kuhn for about ten years. Tonight, Saturday 5pm, I received a call from a customer who had water leaking out of the ceiling and walls. She agreed with me that we should call Kuhn's emergency number to have them come over and diagnose. When I called the number, none other than the lead plumber answered. He was just on his way to a wedding! He immediately adjusted his schedule to go to do this emergency service call. Very great company to work with.
