Always a pro and works to get the best price for you! Very impressed with his work every time.

Used SBJ a second time and still highly recommend. Brad gave me a very reasonable price to install a new sump pump and back up. He even suggested a place for me to purchase it on my own. Showed up the next day and had it installed. Honest, easy to deal with, and great communication. Thanks Brad read more

I had an excellent experience with Brad from SBJ Plumbing. He communicated perfectly, arrived on time, was very kind and respectful, and completely resolved my kitchen sink issues. Would recommend 100% read more

I asked SBJ Plumbing to install a vanity sink, drain and water connections. Brad did the install, and charged $1100 which I thought was high but I paid him right before he left. An hour or so after he left, I ran the water in the vanity sink and there was a noticeable leak. He said he would come back a few days later to take a look. He returned and tightened the connections. I again ran the water after he left, and again there was dripping under the drain so I asked him back again. He came back again and did some more tightening and said it should be ok now. I again ran the water after he left and there was still a drip. I then texted him saying that I would like a refund of $350 of the $1100 he charged because the pipes were still leaking and he had already claimed twice that the problem was fixed when it wasn't. He refused and then tried to gaslight me saying actually there was no leaking. So if you want a plumber who doesn't stand by his work, then this is the guy for you (My response to his comments): For the record, here is the text exchange between Brad and Me (and yes I did say "please consider giving me a refund because I don't want to give you bad reviews"--and that is a reasonable response on my part given that I received service that is below what the average person would expect [i.e. 3 visits by the plumber and the sink trap is still dripping]. (From Craig): Brad, The vanity is still leaking and I can't devote any more time to this project, therefore I am requesting a partial refund of the money you charged me. I think a $350 refund would be reasonable. Craig (From Brad): I disagree, the last 2 times I came over there wasn't even a leak. I have gone beyond being reasonable and in reality I should be paid for 2 service calls. (From Craig): Many would ask for a larger if not full refund under these circumstances. Obviously there was a very noticeable leak after the first visit and a much smaller but still noticeable leak after the next 2 visits. Please reconsider because I don't want to give you bad reviews read more

brad was awesome! Thank you for being professional and helping out my elderly neighbor. We had another company come. I think it was s&j plumbing and they totally tried to rip her off and it was really sad. Brad was great. Came in. Did the job in 2 hours. Beat everybody else's price and he did a great job. Definitely call them if you need some work read more

Bread was great! We got a quick response and he made sure the work was done right. His pricing was reasonable and we will use him again when we have any future plumbing issues! read more

Brad did an amazing job fixing the leaky faucet. He even threw in a free aerator for the same price as the original estimate! Which was noticeably lower than the other estimates I acquired (although not cheap). I will definitely be hiring SBJ again. 11/10 no notes. read more

Brad did a quick repair on my faucet at a fair price. Would definitely use his service again.

Brad is a great person to work with and provides straightforward/fixed pricing - no surprise cost at the end! This is the second time I got his help, which was replacing two leaky valves for the washer. The first time was back in 2021 when I got my water heater replaced. I would say his pricing was fair, and the process went very smoothly both times. I called SBJ Plumbing for an estimate on replacing the hot and cold water pipe valves because they were leaking when turned off. It was not urgent, but I planned to replace the washer in the coming weeks, so fixing the leaky valves was a no-brainer. I got on the phone with Brad, and he asked me to send him a photo of the valves. After a few minutes, he texted me the estimated cost. I confirmed the price and called him the next day to schedule his visit. On the day of arrival, Brad texted me asking if he could arrive a few minutes earlier, which worked better for me, so I confirmed, and he arrived just in time. It only took a few minutes for him to figure out how to proceed. He did have to take a few trips to Menards to get the right parts, but it took him just over an hour to complete his work from start to finish. He cleaned up nicely afterward and explained what he did to fix the issue. I was able to pay the exact initial estimated price via Zelle, and it was a simple and smooth process overall. Brad is an awesome, down-to-earth person to work with, and I would definitely recommend SBJ Plumbing to anyone looking to replace their water heaters or get their valves replaced! read more

Brad was very responsive and respectful. Came out same day, on time. Installed a new kitchen faucet and took the old one out. literally done in 12 minutes, incredible.

Requested SBJ Plumbing to come and look into a bathtub faucet that stopped working after having a new cartridge installed about a month before. They asked for a picture and gave a very reasonable flat fee for the fix with the theory that the cartridge just needed to be replaced again. I was assuming I would need to replace the entire handle, etc. Brad was very responsive and communicative. He showed up, was very friendly and knowledgeable. His theory was correct and the tub / shower faucet was fixed within 30-45 minutes. A very easy and pleasant experience and a job well-done. I highly recommend Brad / SBJ Plumbing and will absolutely use them again when my next plumbing need arises! Thank you, Brad! read more

I contacted SBJ Plumbing after reading the reviews here on Yelp. I was looking for competitive bids to replace a gas water heater. Brad provided his price quickly, which included all I asked for, installing new unit that I would provide and remove the old unit from my property. No leaving the old unit at curbside. We had to add the fee for him picking up the unit I purchased from Home Depot which was a reasonable charge. The entire project took @ 2.5 hours. He did a great job. read more

Brad messaged me promptly after I requested an estimate through Yelp. After communicating back and forth, we agreed upon a time, and he came at the appointed time the next day. He was friendly and professional. He replaced our shower cartridge, shower head and handle. He was thorough and meticulous at his work. And he cleaned up after himself once the job was done. He asked for the amount that he quoted me prior to coming. There were no hidden charges. I found him to be honest, proficient, and professional. I will not hesitate to call on him for plumbing needs in the future. read more

Brad replied back within hours and was able to come look at our issue next day. Very professional and actually advised ways to not overspend on things we would not need, he fixed the issue and will now have a plumber we go to for any of our other needs!! read more

I had another company come out when my water heater wasn't working. I wasn't happy with how they dealt with me, so I asked them to leave. I searched Yelp and called SBJ. Brad came out later the same day and installed a new water heater for $700 less than the first company was going to charge me. I couldn't be happier with his service. He was very timely, communicated well, and was very fair in his charge. I will use him for all of my future plumbing needs. read more

Brad was super quick to respond and was able to come out the next day to check our leaking shower/ceiling. Very personable and helpful!

I had a kitchen sink drain issue Sunday night, sent out a request 7AM Monday morning, and shortly after said he could come out in an hour. Brad showed up on-time, took a look at where the kitchen drain pipe would tie into the main one, brought his machine in and rotted the line out. He put everything back together, cleaned up the area, checked for leaks, and tested the water drain twice before leaving. Great experience with him and would call on him again next time. read more

Was having issues with my sump pump going on and off. My dad had originally checked it out (not a professional) and said the motor might be burning out. I called SBJ and Brad picked up right away. I explained the situation and he stated it could be nothing because the ground had been saturated from all the rain we recently got or it could actually be something with the pump. For my peace of mind I had him come anyways to check it out and he let me know upfront that there is a service fee for just coming which I was totally okay with (gas prices/peoples time, etc). When he came he checked it out and did confirm what my dad had said that the motor was burning out and the pump appeared to be older. He was able to replace the pump on the spot and now I've had no issues with a constant motor going off. Would call Brad again! read more

Brad was great. I called midday about a clogged kitchen sink. He was able to come that evening. He quoted a fair price in advance. The sink was stubborn and needed to be rotted several times, but he kept at it and made sure it drained properly. I was very satisfied and will definitely use him again. read more

The plumber was dependable friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommended this business

Called and scheduled a time he showed up and the bell didn't work and didn't know he arrived and then left. I called and tried to reschedule and he didn't want to come back. Terrible response read more

Definitely knowledgeable, quick response and great diagnosis. A bit pricey (I am aware that experience and knowledge costs and that inflation is high, but still, $400 was a bit high for cutting out 2 holes and providing diagnosis, $300 would be much more reasonable. IMO (that's why I am still giving 5 stars as for what was done I believe - $300 was reasonable, while $400 was a bit too high, while everything else was great) read more

Amazing overall experience! We had a slight leak in our basement and was not sure what the problem was or the solution to fix. Brad quickly responded to my message on Yelp and even offered to stop by that same day. Brad showed up within the 2 hour time frame of our promised time and even brought his own shoe covers (yay to keeping our house clean!) Brad is very friendly and was very accommodating to our personal requests (no cats allowed in the basement). He quickly diagnosed the issue, provided us with a list of solution options and very reasonable quotes. We went with a quick fix and Brad was able to finish the job within an hour? (maybe even less). He accepts electronic payment methods and everything was so quick and easy. If we ever have any other plumbing issues (crossing my fingers that we don't), I'm definitely calling Brad again! Thank you! read more

Brad was responsive, transparent on pricing, was at our house the next day (not an emergency), and did a good job. Thanks for taking such good care of us! read more

Called Brad yesterday to replace water heater. I am early riser so he said he could do the replacement at 7.00 AM this morning. His price was extremely competitive and He did great job. Even better for me he showed up at 6.00 AM and replaced the water heater. He is professional and skilled plumber. I could not be more Happy with his service. If I ever need a plumber he will be first one to call. I highly recommend Brad and SBJ Plumbing. read more

The only reason I'm giving this another star than I would normally is bc of their prompt service and ability to replace the sump pump as requested. However, the man that came to our house was incredibly rude and disrespectful to my father and mother, responding with short and snarky answers to any of their questions. When asked if he could explain what he had installed and how it worked (they were alternating sump pumps), he said to "read the manual." This is only one example of what occurred. Although I'm glad they were able to fix it, I will look elsewhere the next time we need service. There is never any need to be condescending. read more

Solid service call. On time and quality work. Will hire again for any future service needed.

We were having issues with our kitchen garbage disposal. Brad came out the next day after I called and helped to replace it. Great communication and highly reliable service. Thank you Brad!! read more

I wouldn't hesitate to call him for any future plumbing problems. read more

Brad came out when he said he would. He spent 90 minutes rooting out a clogged downspout. Fair price for a good job.

They installed a new faucet, toilet and shower head. Promptly responded to me and let me know when he was 15 minutes away.
