Northbrook Outdoor Kitchen Installers

We would definatly recommend Zigman Construction & Remodeling. They did exactly what they said they would do. They treated our home/property as if it were their own. They were more critical of the finished product than we were.   We have no reservation recommending Zigman Construction & Remodeling. They will be back to finish our basement.

They offer early morning appointments. They are thorough and the work was very satisfactory. Ease of short tem booking.

Arrived on time.  Very personable.  Examined the areas of concern.  Only one fixture needed to be replaced (we were concerned initially that three needed to be replaced) and the other two adjusted.  Performed all the work in a timely and professional manner.  Highly recommended!

The plumber came the next day from the day I requested service. Within ten seconds he determined it was the faucet and recommended we replace rather than attempt to find the part since we did not have the original owner's manual. He came back and installed it within 24 hours from the time I informed him that I had purchased a new one. All went well, careful with clean up, respect for your property, etc. Price was quite reasonable too. Also, we called upon this company once before for problems with leaks from outdoor plumbing. Not a major job, they had to replace some fittings, but they took care of the problem for a reasonable price with friendly and professional service. The business seems to be a father and son who work together well and are both affable, able plumbers. I also got the sense in talking to them about a few other plumbing concerns that they are upfront and honest about what is feasible and what isn't. They will tell you if they cannot do something and do it well. I strongly recommend them.

My mother, a senior citizen, received a call from the water company advising of an unexpectingly large water bill. I called Purdy Plumbing Repair (which I found on Angie's list) at 9:00 A.M. and they were able to fit in the visit early that afternoon. The plumber called to confirm before arriving & he was on time. He was friendly (my mom's yorkshire terrier now has a new best friend) and diligent in his work. He inspected the interior & and the plumbing in the crawl space under the house. He next inspected the outside and gave my mother some tips on what to do to prepair for the coming winter. No problems were found.

The pipe burst in the sprinkler system. They fixed it. They worked on the boiler and radiators. They were attentive, excellent, thorough and courteous. They did not leave a mess. Their prices were reasonable. I did not have to get the same job done twice. They did an excellent job.

They were excellent. They were above and beyond helpful. We were having water in the basement. He was surprised that we didn’t have a sump pump. He mentioned that it would probably be a great idea to get it in the house. He explained everything to us really thoroughly. He proceeded to do the work. As he was digging, he hit clay. He said that there was no way the water would travel underneath the house like that to even reach a sump pump when it has clay. He cemented it all back up and didn’t charge us. He could have gone ahead and installed the sump pump that wasn’t going to be any good to us, but he didn’t. With regard to price, I don’t know how to compare it to anything except an emergency one we used several years ago that was probably around the same price for the same issue and did very little to correct it.

I contacted Charlie to install water lines and gas pipes for washer and dryer in a single family home that was in the final process of renovation as a rental. A licensed electrician had brought up the electrical to code, but the contractor, as part of the kitchen remodeling job, had done plumbimg from kitchen to basement. Charlie did an excellent job in installing the water lines, gas pipes and connections for the washer and dryer. He was also very thorough and generous with his time in reviewing the whole house inside-outside plumbing without any expectation of being hired to do additional work. He was very patient in helping me understand technical requirements and what options were available to avoid future problems. Charlie discovered that water lines from the dishwasher and pipes from kitchen to basement had been installed incorrectly. In addition, there were many basement plumbing ?repairs? the previous elderly owner had done that were of a temporary nature and had potential for disaster. Based on my initial experience of Charlie?s performance, I did hire him to update all the kitchen and basement plumbing, install new vanity and fixtures in two bathrooms, clean outside sewer, and other miscellaneous work. He also volunteered work free of charge outside the scope of our agreement, like replacing broken tiles and caulking the bathtub. Charlie?s responsiveness to my scheduling needs and the quality of his finished work were excellent, and his fees were fair considering the work done, the time spent and the good quality. I am confident the plumbing is in order now, and I also know I can count on Charlie for other requirements or for any emergencies 24/7 that may come up in the future.

They fixed the problem, but billed me for making a second trip which was even more than the original service. For having to make a second trip, they charged me $122.00. I thought that was excessive since the total work time was less than 40 inutes in ttal, and since they didn't have a part in their truck. I live 5 minutes away from them, so again, I think $122.00 for a second trip was not fair given if they had the part they would have been able to fix and total work would have been 30-40 minutes total. I was never told about a second charge just to come back for the same issue with the needed part. I can understand a charge for time replacing, but not just for having to make a return trip. Plus, they said $122.00 was their minimum charge to come back. Their work was done well and they seem experienced, professional, and reputable. As for fees, I would make sure you understand them prior to service.

Fixed a slow kitchen sink drain and dishwasher backup. Diagnosed and fixed the problem fairly quickly. Got the job done at a good value.
