Testimonials
What our customers say

Jayme L. Highland Park, IL
This was my first time using The Plumbing Smith. Reed, Kevin’s brother, came out after I called just a few hours before. He tried to repair some very old bathroom fixtures and thoroughly explained what was necessary.

Christy M. Glenview, IL
From our first meeting, I can tell Kevin is a really good guy and is very willing to help his customer base even at odd hours. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and good at his job and is continuing to grow his company.

S C. Chicago, IL
Awesome is an understatement! Reed came out and did what another company didn’t do. I had a really tough clog that another company (inexperienced person) couldn’t handle, telling me that the pipes under the tub needed to be redone.

Kathie G. Morton Grove, IL
We just had Kevin out for an emergency plugged toilet. He’s timely, clean, and his rates are fair. We will definitely keep his info on file for future plumbing needs.

Mike K. Glenview, IL
I have used The Plumbing Smith for 3 jobs on two residences, and recommended them to a neighbor who said they did well. They do a fine job for a fair price and I am happy to recommend them here.

Ashley V. Chicago, IL
We’ve used The Plumbing Smith 3 times, after feeling burned by some of the major name plumbers. Response time has been wonderful–even same day–and the work is quick and fair. Highly recommend.
