Very professional and highly reliable! I’ve used VanDerBosch for years for all my major residential plumbing work and boiler maintenance. They are always timely, transparent and do a great job!

VanDerBosch was at my condo building to perform work for the association and team lead Jordan was gracious enough to come give me a second opinion on the broken shower handles in our bathroom, and ended up saving us $600 - after taking a look, he suggested that our issue might be simpler to fix than we'd been told by a different plumber, and we were able to fix the issue with some new handles that cost me $12.12. I really appreciated their honesty and professionalism in handling this. I would highly recommend working with them for your plumbing needs.

We had multiple issues with our hot water heater and John the tech from Vanderbosch came out recommended a replacement, found it in stock and installed the next day.
Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Will use these guys again for future plumbing needs and recommend to our friends.

Professional. Our heating and cooling company recommended Vanderbosch when we had an emergency on a Sunday morning. This was the only company (the company we usually use did not return our call in addition to other larger local companies) who returned my call and talked us through how to immediately stop the retainer tank leak, which was spraying water. A few days later someone came out to service it and explained everything about the hot water tank to us and gave us options. They were reliable and on schedule.

Vanderbosch worked on the kitchen sink in my parents’ house in April. They were so efficient I used them for my condo. They’re licensed in Chicago, knowledgeable about condo requirements and handled all condo document requirements in a timely fashion. An absolute dream to work with.

I can't thank John and Andrew for their excellent work. Our boiler needed to have a pipe replaced and other work. John and Andrew came on time and completely dismantled the boiler. They explained what they were doing and the thoroughly cleaned, replaced and restored everything back to working order. Along the way they explained what they were doing and why and they were very thorough. They cleaned up the area after their work and then some, the area looked much better than when they came in. The informatioin they provided was invaluable. I can't wait to have them back this Fall to start up the boiler for the coming year. They are the best. The price we were charged for this work was very resonable, too.

Jose T. made the first visit to discuss radiator issues and provide a quote. Everything was well explained, and all my questions answered.
He also performed the work - three radiator valves and two vents. My home was left SPOTLESS upon completion. Aside from the new parts and the units being correctly pitched, you couldn't tell anyone was there.
VanDerBosch Plumbing was recommended to me by neighbors who had radiator issues last year; I would recommend them to anyone in the Chicagoland area for the same.

These guys are fantastic! Have called them before to look at things, and not been charged unless there is an issue (as opposed to larger companies that do a Trip Charge).
This time we needed to replace some parts on our toilet. They came out within 24 hours, and fixed it next day for a reasonable price. Our guy even helped educate us on how we can potentially fix it ourselves in the future. Plus they warranty work!
100% recommend!
I needed my radiator repaired and they came out to give a free quote and explain what was wrong and then followed up to complete the repair a few weeks later. They did a great job and I am very happy with their work. I will definitely use them again.
VanDerBosch replaced the antiquated steam boiler for our six-unit condo building. They conducted a comprehensive evaluation of our heating system, found the best equipment for the circumstances and our budget, and provided a detailed estimate. The technicians were very professional and -- most importantly -- were patient in answering all our questions. I would definitely recommend them.
The technician who came out was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. He took care of our broken faucet right away and explained how it all worked to me. They were extremely prompt and it was easy to schedule an appointment.

Super responsive and honest professionals. Very helpful in addressing the challenge and getting things done. Fair pricing. Great communication. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend
It wasn't really a plumbing issue but more with multiple radiators leaking. They were able to send someone same day and even fix the issue that day. I was so thankful for the work that they did!

Hugh Jordan was great! We’re under contract on an older home, and out of an abundance of caution wanted to have the sewer main line scoped so we would know if there was anything pressing there. This company was prompt, easy to book, easy to pay for, and very helpful. Jordan was on time, and even took a look at the kitchen line. He made some recommendations for cleaning/hydrojetting should we get the house, and provided a quote after. We would use them if we finalize this home purchase. Thank you!
When you need a plumber, VanDerBosch is there. We've had a few mild emergencies, and the plumbers from VanDerBosch show up when they say they will, are very friendly and will plainly explain your options, then promptly get to work. Not only have I never had a bad experience with them, all of my experiences have been excellent. We consider VanDerBosch our plumber for anything we need.
I can't say enough about Van Der Bosch! When other companies couldn't get someone out to help us for over a week, Van Der Bosch was able to send someone right away. The quote was super quick and very reasonable. Jose, our plumber, was extremely knowledgeable. They were even very flexible when we had a problem with our building water shutoff and had to reschedule. Jose went above and beyond and I highly recommend you give them a try!
Best experience with a plumber to date. They provided a comprehensive SOW on the work, and then the work was perfect. The crew showed up everyday on time, kept the area clean, and were very professional. We had major work done in our basement and I would hire them again for any future plumbing need.

VanDerBosch has been our go-to plumbing company for over 5 years and we have no intention of calling anyone else. Helpful office staff, great plumbers in the field (Jose, Andrew). Highly recommend this company.
They were very easy to work with and were able to get to my place within 3 days of contacting them. And they arrived well inside the two hour window provided to me. The plumber and staff were very professional. I would highly recommend!
I have used VanDerBosch for the last 14 years. Not only do they service my home, they service the building I live in and I have recommended them to many friends, who are so happy with their service. They are always so responsive, professional and courteous. Top notch. You know you can always depend on them and their work.
I had a great experience with VanDerBosch Plumbing! Everyone I spoke to on the phone to schedule the visit was friendly and professional, and Jose arrived on time, very patiently answered all of the questions I asked, and fixed my drain quickly. Highly recommend!

Called at 8:00 am with a significant leak into unit below. They were at my unit within three hours identified problem, and gave me cost within 60 minutes. Price was fair based on work and new piping needed.
Will use them again and again. Great job. Very satisfied
John Chmura was very knowledgeable. After two days of phoning various companies, I called a neighbor who recommended VanDerBosch. Pleasant interactions, solved the issue with the radiant heat puncture.

Replaced leaky valve on radiator. Great, professional service. Showed up right at the beginning of the quoted time window, got the job done fast and without issue. would recommend.
Someone came onsite to provide a quote. They never ended up sending me the quote. I called back twice and each time they said they'd get back to me, but never did so
Moved into our home recently and hot water was not flowing in the primary shower. The technician showed up on time, professionally assessed the issue and fixed it in 20 minutes. Thanks you...I can finally take a hot shower! I will use VanDerBosch for all my future plumbing needs.
Came out to do annual maintenance on my hot water boiler. Hard to find many companies that service residential home boilers. They were knowledgeable and professional. They also answered all my questions. I felt the cost for the service was appropriate and honest.

Everything went really smoothly and promptly with this plumber. I did not have to wonder why they were not getting back to me to discuss my project, as I have has to do so many other times with so many other plumbers. The representative was very organized, prompt, and courteous and even covered his shoes inside my house which was a really positive compromise between the fact that it's my living space and his working space. I would absolutely work with VanDerBosch Plumbing once again.
We have used Van Der Bosch plumbing for at least 10 years. As a management company, it is hard to find an honest, hardworking contractor who returns your calls, comes through in an emergency and drops everything to help you. This is Van Der Bosch. They come on time, they get to the root of the problem (they don't just band-aid problems) and they are pleasant to work with even when standing in knee deep sewer water. Highly recommend them.

After the recent rain we discovered we had water coming up from a drain in our electrical closet, and it was flooding out onto the carpet. We called and were able to get same-day service, and they were able to unclog the pipes in about 30 min. They also gave us some education on our water heater.
We've hired them twice now. There wasn't any problem with the guys' professionalism, attitude or the work they did. Be aware though, that they charge a flat rate determined by the job to be done. Since any two jobs are not necessarily, completely identical, you might end up paying for 2 hrs of work when only 30 min. was needed.

Jordan arrived on time, quickly assessed the situation and tried his best to make the repair without costing me more money. I appreciated the effort. He found the part I needed, picked it up and made the repair all within a couple of hours. I would use them again.
They lied about the process that supposed need to be done, (3 hours process) when only took not even 50 minutes. When I asked the Andrew, the plumber, how much was it? He told me $598.20 I had no problem paying him. But when I found out that they told my wife that it was going to be $498.10, and the whole process that supposed it need to be done. I realized that they lied to get the job and they charged us more than what the estimate was!?

The service was provided in a professional and timely manner. We were happy that we chose VanDerBosch to repair our plumbing problem and we would certainly call them again..
VanDerBosch Plumbing were professional and courteous and would recommend them for their fine work. They did a fine job and so happy they fixed our furnace for the early November chill we are experiencing now .
We met VDB in the early 2000’s and began working with and getting to know them while replacing an ancient boiler with a modern, efficient model. We have worked with them ever since on plumbing / heating projects from minor repairs to conversion to overhead sewer. Sound advice, excellent workmanship and there when you need them. VDB are true to their word and worth what you pay, we highly recommend them.

We had to replace two water heaters. VanDerBosch arrived exactly when they said the would, were courteous, professional and did a high quality job. Definitely recommend!
I have received professional and courteous service twice from this company. Both technicians dispatched to my unit to conduct repairs were knowledgeable and willing to help. Although there were some initial communication impediments, the company worked through them to resolve my issue (gas leaks). I would recommend this group of professionals to my friends/family. I would use them again for future needs.

VanDerBosch Plumbing has helped my husband and I numerous times with a range of fixes in our apartment. From garbage disposals to radiator issues to bathroom plumbing, these guys consistently offer the highest quality work and customer service. Every time a plumber arrives from the company, they explain to us in detail what their assessment of the situation is, which enables us to make an informed decision about how to proceed. They are teachers who care about their craft and the services that they offer. You cannot go wrong going with these guys!

As a new homeowner with century-old pipes, I’ve gotten to know the plumbing industry pretty well, pretty quickly. The whole team at Van Der Bosch is kind, prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient. They’re fair in their pricing and don’t try to upcharge you. We will be calling them again.
José arrived early (after checking I was available). He reviewed the job, provided a cost, left for about 40 minutes for parts and returned to complete the job, for a total time of 2-3 hours. José appeared to be skilled at the work, acted professionally and cleaned up afterwards.
Job was to replace a section of pipe under the sink for a total cost $375.
Very professional and courteous. I called in the morning, they came out a few hours later, and everything was fixed within an hour. Will definitely use them again.
VanDerBosch could not have been better! The plumber who did the work was ontime, knowledgeable and efficient. He explained everything and I feel confident in his work. Highly recommend.

We live Skokie and I have used this company twice. I just wanted to write and say this company is the best! They just left our house after replacing a pipe by the water meter. Not only were the two plumbers kind and respectful - they were hard working, clean and thorough. When this house was built, it appears they did not add an extra close valve and they did that today. Not only did they correct the problem, they did not charge us extra. What they quoted us at the initial consultation is what we paid today. Thanks so much VanDerBosch - we will recommend you and ask for your services only!
I had some water leakage problems on a toilet in my Rogers Park Condo. I'm not home often and my roommate didn't know what to do. I contacted VanDerBosch as they had done a fantastic job for my partners home a few months back in Andersonville with fixing (2) sink leaks and replacement of some faucets all done at a reasonable price and relatively quick amount of time. Upon calling VanDerBosch, Lauren helped get me scheduled for a tech to come out within a couple hours. Upon arriving at my home, Joe, my technician, was able to figure out what the problem was and called me to explain what was happening and gave me a free quote on the spot. Since it was a minor fix and we had a temporary answer to our water leak problems, I chose not to have them do the work as I can do it myself but I know that I have a trusted guy that I can call on for any future problems. I feel confident in referring this plumbing company to others since I had a good experience and I have seen completion work performed at my partners home and the tech was polite, low pressure and the area was left clean. Thanks Lauren and Joe for your help and advise without the pressure. You have earned a new customer today.

I've used VanDerBosch for mid level emergencies - Dead water heater; backed up dishwasher; broken faucet. Each time they were extremely professional, communicative, and a pleasure to have in the house - from their friendliness all the way to the shoe booties that they where, and cleaning up after themselves.
Their rates are competitive, with a slight modifier for the piece of mind and professionalism that I spoke about. That's why I keep going back to them over trying to nickel and dime on a plumbing service that may save me a few dollars but leave me disappointed and soaked.
I would like to acknowledge outstanding service and work ethic. I placed a call to Vanderbosch for a boiler inspection and cleaning for a 9 unit Condo in Chicago. I was sent John C. who came out about 4 days later. When our condo president and I met him, we were impressed by his professionalism and politeness. He explained our options and went into detail as to how they would reflect on the safety of our building as well as efficiency of our boiler. Our boiler had been neglected and took him all day to take apart and clean. Even though our building has the original boiler, someone might have hesitated to trust anyone to take it apart to clean. However John C. took pictures of all the original settings, documented them so that he would return the unit to it's original running settings. During this tedious and messy process he consulted with Hugh Hodur (the owner) many times only to find out that the settings were not correct for optimal efficiency. During this process he answered many of my questions and patiently explained many scenarios. Also he discovered a relay switch which will be replaced this Friday that could have shut down our boiler at any minute with out notice due to corroded wires. This company converted my in floor radiant heat to above ground 15 years ago. They were great back than but after yesterday, they have me as a customer for life, regardless of where I live in their service area. Outstanding and ethical. Thank you John C. And Hugh Hodur. I can not thank you enough for your honesty and integrity.
Highly recommend VanDerBosch Plumbing! The guys were on time, professional, thorough, kind and went above and beyond.

your worker inspected our problem, I followed his advice and bought a quality replacement, he returned and installed the new piece. We love the easy function of the new well made, well installed equipment.
He explained everything he did, and was very courteous. He fixed both toilets quickly and efficiently. He even gave us a tool we can use for future repairs. Extremely pleased!

Hugh has been “our guy” for our 13 unit building boiler for years. We’ve used him for normal maintenance but we also had to completely replace our boiler last year and Hugh came in with a very competitive bid and the work was well done.
I used them to fix my radiator. They came right on time and stayed within the quote. It took exactly as long as they said it would take. They were extremely professional and I would use them again without a doubt.
We highly recommend VanDerBosch Plumbing. They've done both small and large jobs on our old Victorian house in Hyde Park. They're trustworthy, responsive and do excellent work.

VDB checked in ahead of their visit, arrived on time, fixed my problem, were professional…that’s why they earned 5 stars from me.

Echoing what all of the previous positive reviews have said already, Jose was professional, thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I will definitely call them again for future jobs.
Jose and Jt, I think his name is were very professional and did the job above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone considering their service.
VanDerBosch Plumbing recommended $6,100 for work on a catch basin under my condo unit. I decided it was important to get a 2nd opinion and our condo board agreed. Power Plumbers conducted the 2nd opinion and determined the line in question is not in use, so the work was unnecessary.
It was a very simple process for Power to determine this and if you ask me, a crucial component every plumber should verify before they recommend such a big job - this would have involved ripping up my hardwood floor and 3 feet of concrete to get to the pipe.

I called for an quick service I required to close on my condo. They were able to fit me in, and the technician was professional and respectful - especially given the circumstances (during COVID).
We are bigs fans of VanderBosch. They arrive quickly, have friendly and knowledgeable staff and are reasonably priced. And they helped us in a pinch with a broken pipe!
Very professional, thorough, and pricing seemed absolutely fair for what was being done. Highly recommend!
Jordan identified the source of the problem I was having quickly and could have charged me to fix it, but suggested another way to have it done for free. Much appreciated and I will be a loyal customer for future work!
Responsive, fast and polite. Unlike other plumbers I have used in the past, they did NOT find new problems to fix (i.e, there weren't any unexpected add-ons).

Andy showed up on time and was very professional. Fixed one of my toilets and provided suggestion on how I could fix the other one myself. Appreciate his honesty .
We had great service. The plumber was prompt, efficient and thorough. I appreciated the care he took in our kitchen.

It took from November 2022 to February 2023 to resolve our boiler's water bouncing --loud water knocks---that kept two unit owners from sleeping --- and could be heard EVEN outside of their condo units! Our prior heating/boiler service provider would say they would come out, schedule it and cancel it, re-schedule, and cancel. We contacted 5 other heating-boiler vendors-- respected longtime companies-all A+ ratings on BBB and other sights. None responded in a timely way. ONLY Van Der Bosch came through in these very difficult times. They are on Chicago's northside in Rogers Park/Edgewater a locally owned company.
