About John Rutte in Glencoe, IL

Absolutely. We frequently help Glencoe homeowners with this exact issue. We can repair the damaged faucet and, more importantly, install a frost-proof hose bib. This type of faucet is designed to shut the water off inside your warm home, preventing freezing and burst pipes in the outdoor section. It's a smart upgrade that protects your property from a common local problem.

Yes, we do. With our combined expertise in plumbing installation and carpentry, we can manage the full scope of a bathroom renovation. This includes the skilled plumbing work for your new tub, shower, and sink, as well as the carpentry needed for framing, custom surrounds, or built-in shelving. Managing both trades under one roof ensures better coordination, a smoother project timeline, and consistent quality throughout.

Our thorough inspection for older homes focuses on identifying potential issues before they become emergencies. We check water pressure, look for leaks at fixtures and under sinks, inspect visible pipes for corrosion, test drains for proper flow, and assess the condition and age of your water heater and sump pump. We pay special attention to basements and crawl spaces, common areas for problems in our local housing stock, and provide a clear, prioritized report of our findings.
