I can't say enough to convey how great I think CJ plumbing is. After a horrible experience with Roto Rooter where they took 3 days to even show up and quoted me $1600. CJ plumbing was professional, courteous, responsive, and charged a fraction of roto rooters insane price. CJ plumbing upholds the standard of professionalism and service. Thank you so much! read more

I was dealing with a terrible sink plumbing issue, and I had Dmitry call me up right away with the diagnosis, price, and plan the same day. He was very flexible with scheduling, and he didn't try to upsell me with materials we didn't need. I forget the name of the plumber who came to fix the pipe, but he also was very professional and was a hard worker. He also left our bathroom very clean and closed up the wall when he was finished. I'd highly recommend them for the job they did. read more

Ride the no-stress express. Called them on a weekend eve (no emergency) for an upcoming install. Surprised to get a call back same evening from Demitri (owner). He came out the next day for a quick estimate on installing a gas line for new gas stove. Set up a date and time quickly, even came early on the install day. Professional, personable, explained the process, clean and efficient. Done. Thumbs up. read more

Can't say enough about how pleased I am with the work they did. Highly recommended. Very fast service, fair pricing, obvious expertise, and a high quality repair. read more

Great experience- Alex was quick to respond & sent Dimitri who fortunately was in the area. He was professional, friendly & wasted no time to diagnose and repair. I will definitely refer this company- Thanks read more

We had water in our basement and Dmitry came out in less than 90 min, diagnosed the problem, and had the situation resolved quickly. Great service and employees who care. Highly recommend!! read more

We were doing a major remodeling of a 120 year old bathroom. Their work was perfect. They had important, very impactful design ideas that they shared and implemented very cost-effectively. They were cooperative, efficient, and whenever a problem came up, it was solved within an hour. They twisted their schedule around some unpredictabilities on our part. What else could one ask for? read more

S and J Plumbing was the only company that gave a personal reply. They set up an appointment the next day. Chris was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. He ordered a new part to repair my leaking shower and the job was completed in 10 days. He even returned with a new hose for the shower head as it wasn't quite the right color. I highly recommend them and will use them to replace my water heater . read more

I was in urgent need of a licensed & registered plumber to finish a bathroom reno on a short timeline, and Dmitry really came through! We've been in touch by Yelp, text, and email on Day 1 -- a Saturday! -- and I expect his team will finish the job by the end of the month. Thank you Dmitry! read more

Fast, good service. Fixed a kitchen drain, works well a couple months later. Pricey like most plumbers.

I have not used them for work, but I did submit a request for quotes from several places for a water heater valve replacement. Estimates ranged from $300-$500, but the owner of CJ, Dmitry, called me and told me it is a simple fix virtually anyone can do. He walked me through exactly what I had to do, What would have cost me hundreds of dollars ended up costing me a short trip to Home Depot and about 30 bucks. I really appreciated his honesty and will be calling him back when I have a plumbing situation I can't do myself. read more

I can't recommend CJ Plumbing enough. Our water heater failed in winter. I decided to try a new company and I called CJ Plumbing at 7am and Dmitry sent out Lenny by 12:30 that same day with a new water heater. They had the old one hauled out, new one installed, and tidied up by 2:30pm. Dmitry was very informative and the price was very fair. His crew was punctual and professional. I will be calling back with all my plumbing needs from now on. read more

Had two new toilets installed. Very fair price and easy to get a quote. Arrived on time and did great work. Owner is very fast to respond and plumber who did the work was very nice and professional. Very honest and no BS or trying to upsell. Will definitely be using them for the additional plumbing work I need done. read more

We had a problem with our ejector pump in the basement - Dmitry called us right back, had the problem diagnosed over the phone and had someone out to fix it the next day. Throughout the process, he and his team were great communicators and professionals. I'm really grateful to have found them and highly recommend their services. read more

Our kitchen sink faucet snapped. We needed a new one for someone to install it. I asked around for recommendations, several recommended Goode Plumbing. They come out and give me a quote -- and it's around $1k all in (new faucet + installation). This just seemed crazy high. So I called around for other quotes. CJ Plumbing could do it at half the rate, and they let us use their discount code to get a discounted new faucet, which saved us hundreds! They were able to come out the next day and get it done. It takes a long time to find a good and fair plumber - and these guys are it! I mainly spoke with DMITRY (I think he owns it)? But Lenny was the guy who made repairs. 5 stars for both. read more

This is my second wonderful experience with CJ Plumbing. I call them around noon yesterday about a major clog in our kitchen sink. Three hours later Dmitry pulled in front of our house and fixed the problem. He also clearly explained the cause of the problem to us. On top of that, he couldn't be more polite or personable. CJ Plumbing is exceptionally responsive, skilled, pleasant and reasonably priced. As I said in my last review, I've found my new plumber! read more

I highly recommend CJ Plumbing as they did a great job fixing the leaking problem in our bathroom. Lenny was on time, very efficient and knowledgeable and was thorough in making sure to address the root cause. I am very satisfied with the job done and at a fairly reasonable price at that! read more

I'm very pleased to have found CJ Plumbing. Our first service with them was for an emergency burst pipe during a recent cold snap. They responded promptly to our weekend emergency, and fixed the pipe quickly. Their technicians are courteous and communicative, providing thoughtful advice to avoid future issues. As a follow up to our burst pipe, Dimitri and his team sourced and installed a Smart Leak Detector at our water main. Another excellent experience. They dispatched Lenny, who was punctual, worked quickly and efficiently, and did excellent work, thoughtfully adding an extra pressure reducing valve to ensure the auto shutoff would be easy to service in the future. Highly recommend this group, will be my first fall for future plumbing needs. read more

Lenny, from CJ Plumbing, did an excellent and thorough job for us. We are very pleased with this company and highly recommend them.

I am so excited to have found a reliable, efficient and thorough plumber! Lenny showed up exactly on time, and was able to find a leak and fix it in record time. Our upstairs shower had a drain leaking and we didn't realize it till we saw mold on the ceiling, not fun. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness in making minimal mess and cleaning up after. He also gave us tips on our sewage ejector pump and made sure there was a good seal on it. read more

The best, most efficient plumber I have ever used. We had several longstanding issues we had fixed while disconnecting our plumbing for a foundation repair. We decided to kill many birds with one stone and we're extremely happy we did, the work these guys do is immaculate. The coordination and timing was very helpful with our particular situation as someone was coming home in the middle of all of this from a prescheduled chemotherapy treatment, great customer service all around. As a side note I would never trust someone that my dog didn't like and our dog wanted to leave with Dmitry....like we weren't even here. read more

excellent service -- Lenny, the plumber who came to do our work, was professional, on time and cleared our shower pan drain quickly. Company was upfront about the cost from the beginning regarding the cost to unclog the drain. read more

On a Sunday, our ejector pump died. We started a help claim from yelp and CJ Plumbing was one of the first to reply. The owner, Dmitry, was available on a Sunday to troubleshoot our situation over the phone. He figured out a way to temporarily bypass our issue. This saved us money by being able to wait until normal hours to get service. It was amazing and provided us with a huge relief! The work was very prompt and expertly completed. We would definitely recommend CJ Plumbing to anyone! read more

Lenny came by and did a fantastic job moving the gas outlet behind our new stove, so that the new stove could fit more flush against the wall. PROS: prompt, responsive, friendly, efficient, solid work all-around CON: Only one. The price I was quoted for the job on the phone was $275 (plus cost of any materials). Perhaps it was my mistake, but I didn't realize I was being quoted an hourly rate. I thought it was just the cost of the job. The job ended up taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes, which rounds up to 1.5 hours. As with any contract work, I would advise anyone to clarify pricing beforehand. Overall, still a great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to have some plumbing work done. read more

I recently purchased a condominium and had to redo some of the plumbing work in the bathroom and kitchen. When I reached out to Dimitri, he responded immediately and asked very good questions and for some pictures so he could diagnose over the phone. He was able to schedule me within a reasonable time and his plumbers arrived promptly as promised. The plumber arrived and was very polite and respectful. They took care to watch their surroundings and asked about wearing a mask. Also, during the repair work the plumber took the time to explain the problems and was very transparent about what needed to get done to properly repair. If there were additional findings, the plumber reviewed those with me and asked for my approval prior to purchasing another part or moving forward with additional work. I have used CJ plumbing a few more times since then and the experience has been spectacular and consistent among the different plumbers. I highly recommend them. Rich F. read more

Did all plumbing for a gut kitchen renovation. Excellent workmanship. Always on time. Would definitely rehire for a major project.

I contacted CJ Plumbing and Heating for a kitchen faucet issue. They were very responsive and professional. They answered all my questions and provided fast reliable service for a good price. I was very pleased and will contact them again when I have a plumbing issue read more

After purchasing a home last year, we experienced a number of plumbing issues due to the previous owner being neglectful and/or just doing poor quality plumbing work. So, when we needed to install a new sink, I called CJ Plumbing & Heating and not only did they diagnose a number of plumbing issues that weren't up to code, they spotted some red flags that would eventually fail and leave us with serious flooding issues. Through several visits, the team at CJ, especially Lenny, helped us install the sink, reroute the dishwasher drain to the main line rather than the garbage disposal, install two new shutoff valves (we live in an old house and we only had one valve that didn't shut off all the way), fix the b-box so we could actually shut water off to the house from the street (we previously weren't able to), reroute the drains from our upstairs bathroom that were installed incorrectly (which caused a terrible smell to build up in the bathroom over time), and cleared a blockage between the house and main sewer line that was causing water to pour back into the basement when it rained hard. Obviously, this laundry list of repairs added up to quite a lot of money, but the team at CJ Plumbing helped us out by working with our home warranty company and by providing us with a few discounts on labor/equipment that made the cost much more manageable. Next time you need a plumber, please don't try to tackle the issue yourself or have a family friend try to do the repair. Call a licensed professional at CJ Plumbing so you know that the job is done right the first time! read more

We smelled gas in our home on a Thursday night. Nicor Gas came out and told us we had three gas leaks in our customer fuel line and our stove, water heater, and furnace. Then he turned off the gas so we could stay in our home. Now we had no working stove and no hot water. With a holiday on Monday we figured we wouldn't get everything fixed for days. But we called CJ Plumbing the next morning and Ivan arrived at 1:15 pm on the same day. In two hours he had everything fixed and then he unclogged the bathroom sink besides. He was polite, friendly, professional, and skilled. We were relieved and completely satisfied and we were able to host our Sunday dinner for 14 people. A really excellent experience! read more

I had a shower drain clog that I got annoyed with, so I called C&J. They are awesome! They came on the same day and was able to unclog it. Dmitry was easy to schedule with, and Lenny was the best. He is very professional, thorough, and careful and got the shower drain unclogged quickly. They are so reliable and absolutely worth the money. Best in town! read more

My bathtub water wasn't going down as quickly as I'd hoped so after doing about 2 minutes of research, I decided to use a plastic drain snake I got off Amazon. I stuck about a ft in and when I tried pulling it out, it broke off inside. Turns out, you're not supposed to use those in tubs... ay yi yi. I called CJ Plumbing and Dmitry sent someone out the next day. I thought they'd have to open up the wall because the thing was so deep but they managed to get it out in no time. These guys are my go-to plumbers because they're so quick and the work is good. Thank you again! read more

Excellent experience with Dmitry and his team. They replaced all the water pipes in my 75-year-old Skokie home and did a great job and great price. They were professional and very focused on making sure everything worked correctly once they finished the job. I plan to have them back to add a bathroom in the basement and replace my water heater in the future. read more

Good communication, helpful troubleshooting of complex water pressure problems. Definitely recommended.

There was a leak in my kitchen sink. Lenny was at my house within a couple of hours, and was courteous, professional and got the job done. It wasn't cheap, but plumbers never are: I thought the price was fair. Will definitely use them again. read more

Okay, so being completely transparent, I didn't end up using them for my sink repair. But, I wanted to review just for the customer service. I called them this morning because I need to have the pipes fixed under my kitchen sink, as they're all corroded and have holes leaking everywhere. Dimitry asked me to send a picture of the issue so he could estimate it, which I did, and he called me back with a quote of $250-$275 to replace the 3 metal pipes with PVC. But, he openly said "This isn't a hard job and you should just have a handyman do it, because any plumber will be way too expensive. Get a handyman who will cost $100 and you can use the savings to buy holiday gifts." So, A+ customer service for honesty and knowing that the price he quoted me was way more than what is actually needed. If I ever need major plumbing (or heating) work done (which hopefully won't ever be the case, but life happens), I would definitely call CJ Plumbing & Heating first. read more

Needed replacement of a kitchen faucet. Dmitry and Lenny were responsive, prompt and efficient in getting this done quickly and to my satisfaction. read more

CJ Plumbing was a great resource for my condo remodel. They were very responsive via texting and calls. Lenny was out plumber who did a great job swapping out our shutoff valves and gave me some good advice on routing options once I put the new cabinets in. Lenny was polite and professional. I would use them again. read more

We had an excellent experience with CJ Plumbing & Heating. We had a clogged kitchen sink and were expecting guests that evening for dinner. I called CJ Plumbing and spoke with Dmitry. He was able to send a plumber out within hours. Our plumber, Lenny, was courteous and professional. The clog turned out to be in a location that was difficult to access, but Lenny figured out how to do it and installed a "clean out" pipe so that any future blockages can be removed more easily. The price was as quoted and reasonable. We will use CJ for our future plumbing needs. Highly recommended! read more

Another Stellar job by CJ Plumbing. Very tough root blockage in back bathroom line. Careful and thorough approach paid off. This was not easy and the 116 yo pipes survived thanks to the careful and knowledgeable expertise. HIGHLY Recommend! Totally personable, trustworthy and professional. Fair prices. read more

Extremely poor communication. Dmitry wanted to handle everything through text (which is completely fine) and I sent him all the details and pictures I could. He said he was good with the info I sent but his estimate on the work was very vague so I asked for clarity and didn't get any. I then asked if he could email the details and proposal to me, he said "Saturday" which was 4 days away. i understand he probably has other jobs so I waited. On Sunday still nothing...followed up saying I want to move forward with the work based on the initial estimate but just need the detailed quote to make sure...he asked for home address and that was it. Monday I follow up again and then said he will send out a proposal once I confirm I am interested in scheduling and it still wouldn't get sent out for another day. As you can see how frustrating the communication has been. Maybe he does good work once you get ahold of him and seems fairly priced as I compared to other plumbers but if you don't get a quote in a couple days after providing the scope of the job, just move on if you're hoping for something sooner than later *response: again the issue is poor communication. I did tell Dmitry I was looking for service immediately and it took a week for them to tell me they are 4 weeks out. They did not offer in person, only a follow up call that was not even needed. Screenshot of that conversation is below. read more
