Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Came out right on time. Said the problem was an improperly installed disposal and not anything defective. Fixed quickly. Polite and showed me the problem

Our pilot light on our water heater went out and we couldn't get back on. Mac walked us through it and we were able to relight it. We greatly appreciated his quick response, kindness and humor :) Thank you!

Can't recommend them enough!! We had a clogged drain in our shower. Living in a one bathroom condo this is a huge problem. Called Rescue Plumbing on a Saturday night and got an appointment for first thing Sunday morning. Sam and Glesian fixed the drain in no time. They were so friendly and professional.  Will use Rescue for all my plumbing needs going forward.

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night on a Sunday. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search & found fast response from Discount Plumbing. I requested a quote on yelp and they responded within minutes & they said a technician can come out & gives me a FREE quote with no obligation. They arrived in minutes and my toilet soon was able to flushing like it was brand new! I appreciate them walking in with booties and walking me through the whole process & answering my questions. Definitely took the customer service to another level with that. Plus, the 10% coupon helped..

Thank you
Discount Plumbing

We noticed water leaking from our garbage disposal on Sunday evening and contacted Scott based on his Yelp reviews. He responded quickly and made time for us with short notice. He asked great questions and for pics of the sink ahead of time so he was prepared with all the replacement parts right away. He was fast, professional and gave great recommendations for improving the safety of the wiring to our disposal. I'm so glad we hired him, Scott will definitely be our go-to for any future needs!

Nick with Rocket was extremely efficient and quick with his expertise! Will def recommend to family and friends

David and his partner were very professional. They were able to explain what the problem was with our sewer and solve the problem. They were very reasonably priced. I will definitely use them again !

Heads up!  If you have a gas leak, DO NOT go with Windy City Plumbing.  They're not experienced whatsoever in gas leaks.  After paying them close to $1,000, they did not even come close to resolving my issue.  Jose was not reasonable, and would not adjust the price. They charge $100 an hour for an inexperienced staff.  I left him a message, and he didn't return my phone call.  I instead received a text message asking me to call the office.   After having Peoples Gas come out again, I sadly learned that for the price I paid them I should have a resolution to my problem.  As a result of this really bad experience, I felt compelled to forewarn anyone who was desperate like me and on the fence about hiring them.  This is my way of paying it forward.  Ask questions before you hire them.  Ask them about certifications.  Ask about their equipment.  Check out their equipment.  In my case, the pressure they were applying to test the pipes was bursting holes everywhere and would have never resolved my problem.  Their solution -- tear down walls throughout my entire building and replace most of my pipes throughout 4 floors.  Does that sound reasonable to you?  If it doesn't, then my recommendation is to do your due diligence.  If you do, you'll never hire them and will save yourself some money.

Gathered 4 different quotes to have a water line and spigot run from my roof deck to our nearest bathroom(~12 ft).  First Chicago Plumbing was the cheapest quote we received, with the next closest quote over twice the amount of First Chicago's.  Moved forward with First Chicago Plumbing to perform the work, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only were they the price leader, but their quality of work was/is impeccable. Additionally, the two plumbers that performed the work were friendly and engaging - a delight to work with overall. Having been 9 months since install, the spigot and bib have held up very well through the rough Chicago winter, and I have no doubts First Chicago Plumbing will be my go-to plumbing contractor moving forward.

These people are over the top.  We have used them several times and have always had our expectations exceeded.  Will not use anyone else as long as they're around.   Hats off to Kevin for finding the best team members!

Jesus was one of the first to contact us back after sending out a few messages on yelp in the early morning about getting our water heater replaced ASAP. He was able to see us that day and had a water heater available. Although it was a bit complicated getting our old one out and the new one installed due to the way it was originally installed and the available space in our unit, Jesus was very professional and did an excellent job. We will definitely call him in the future and highly recommend him!

When water backup happens in your basement, if your knowledge is limited and your bank account is in shortage of greens - green tech plumbing will ease you down ....
1 out of 5 contractors who supposedly has 4 and above stars of reviews could not give me an estimate over the phone - rather they'll tell you how much $$$ it cost for them to visit and then go from there .... signs of ripping off your hard earned dollar .../
Green tech is so upfront with their price even though they haven't seen the problem yet - this is what I called honesty in service brought by experience .... they ask for the address and they search it in the web and there they figure the assessment based on the distance of your house towards the main drainage ...
Because of this I was being honest to them about my finances and they give me a substantial discount ....
The repair only took one hour ...
The owner who happens to take my call has that mild calm  fatherly tone of voice. This eases out my anxiety. Everyone else has this unprofessionally demanding full of threat like approach ....
I will definitely have this company in my list of favourite number in my phone...

Over the weekend, we experienced some grey water backing up in our utility room. We determined that the culprit was likely a backup originating from the kitchen sink/drain. We called Midwest Hydro Jetting yesterday (Sunday) and was able to quickly get an appointment for this morning. They even called us shortly afterward to let us know that we could move up the appointment time if we wanted to, which we appreciated.

Mike and Danny showed up promptly at 9am and they quickly got to work determining the source of the issue. They confirmed that line from the kitchen sink need to be rodded (as well as a pipe down in the utility room). Throughout the process, they were very communicative and explained every step. They answered every question we had and were done within 45 minutes.

Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of their work and would gladly hire them again if the need arises.

Do not use Captain Rooter Emergency Plumbers!!!! I called them today for a backed up sewer, price 298 the tech ran the rod one time, told me he hit something that snagged his line and that I would need another service that cost at least 1300..that my pipe could be broke (yada yada ya) now my basement has been flooded many times and we have rented a rod ran it several times and clears the blockage..... DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS.... I wasted  298 and will still have to go to Home Depot to rent a rod and clear my drain......my husband rented the rod and cleared the drain in 30 mins!!!!!

These guys were amazing. I think we've found our go-to electricians for the foreseeable future. We had 5 outlets installed throughout our house and one additional line off the circuit breaker. They were reasonably priced, but more importantly, honest and didn't try to pad the bill. Darrell walked through the project with me and broke down some alternatives that could save some money... simple things like, putting the outlets in different locations to cut down on the drywall cost.

Highly recommended!
Excellent service. Plumber went to store to pick up new kitchen faucet and installed after diagnosing issue. Can't imagine better service.  Will call them again for any future plumbing needs.

This is the second time we've used them. They are by far the best. They just fixed the drain from our furnace. It was flooding our first floor. The other plumbers wanted way more to do it. If you want fast good work you have to use these guys. I'm glad we have them as our plumbers.

Spoke with Mike over the phone and he gave me some DIY advice on some of the trouble I had with my old faucet. Though, I didn't feel comfortable changing the faucet myself as the pipes I had were old, I decided to have him come over and do it. During the process, I was able to watch and he answered all the questions I had about what he was doing and he answered all the general plumbing questions I had. I would highly recommend him as he's very knowledgable and patient.

Our water heater stopped working about two weeks ago.  Since that time, we've tried several of the different large plumbing services who were providing large estimates without even looking at my issues.  For me, the very last straw was when I called one of the services I used at the very start of my issues.  The new technician explained to me that the technician that the firm sent out the first time didn't do the work correctly but he (from the same exact company) would fix me right up for an additional $4,000.

It was at this point that I knew I needed to try a very different approach.  I opened Yelp and placed a query for a plumber.  Juan from A&Y plumbing and Sewer Services responded to my query.  Let me just say that if you are a homeowner in need for quality work by someone who not only explains to you what needs to be done but also treats you with respect - this is the  company for you.  I have noticed in previous projects at my home that some of this large plumbing services assume that if you are calling them, you are so desperate to end your problem you will pay any ridiculous cost.  I've owned my home over twenty years.  I have at least a couple of instances where I knew I overpaid for subpar work and I was determined that I would be treated fairly in the effort.  With Juan I felt in my gut that he would be trust worthy because he started out with let me see if this can be fixed and if not, we can discuss other options.  This was In stark contrast to the other service where the gentleman immediately told me, this isn't something you repair, it is something you replace!.  He hadn't even come to my home yet.

In short, Juan was able to fix it.  He then walked me through the process he followed to trouble shoot the issue and correct the problem.  I have an advanced degree in information technology so root cause analysis is something I truly appreciate!  It doesn't mean i expected to walk away knowing how to troubleshoot this issue myself but for someone to just give me the respect of fully explaining what was happening and why we needed to fix/replace things.

For me, during a time when I felt like other services were treating me horribly - it was absolutely refreshing to be treated with kindness and respect. The cherry on the cake was that Juan's cost was reasonable and his work was awesome!  This was one of those times where I very gladly paid his fee and I am already referring him to my friends and family.   This is company is definitely a keeper for me!!

Noel helped us out while we were in a pinch.  Or, better said, while we were about to be pinching loafs.

Basically, our shitter was broken.  My lovely better half decided to flush beef stew down the toilet instead of pitching it in the garbage, and no amount of plunging and DranO pushed out the blockage.  Worse, it was St. Patrick's Day, we had a green beer keg, and guests' bowels were moving into dangerous explosion territory.

Our maintenance guy, who was out of town, gave us Noel's number, so we gave him a call.  Vision was fuzzy but he seemed to arrive fairly quickly.  Shortly after arrival he shoved his snake in our hole, pushed in and out for a few minutes, and soon after our pipes were cleaned, our toilet was flushing, and smiles were on our faces.  I am convinced he even fixed something in the commode... you know, when you have to jiggle the handle to get the water to stop running?  Fixed.  BONUS.  He declined my offer of a green beer on the way out; for his quick work, he deserved it!

We would have paid big bucks to get out of this digestive traffic jam but the price was on point for emergency service.

Thank you, Noel, for breaking down the dam and allowing our guests to let their rivers flow.
