Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I have a condo in the city, and my tenants had a problem with their disposal unit. I asked them to get a plumber to replace it & send me the bill.

This morning I received an email saying that they called an honest plumber and he was able to walk them through the problem over the phone, which ended up being a minor issue.

I asked my tenants for the info of the company, as I like to give my business to honest people. And it was drain-eez plumbing.

From now on, I'll reach out to these guys first with any kind of plumbing issues my tenants may have going forward.

I had a great experience with fastplumbing247...Mac responded to my call very promptly, even thought it was a Sunday AND Father's Day!  Came out within an hour, diagnosed the problem and installed a new water heater that afternoon. He is knowledgeable, no nonsense, and very entertaining but most of all he took the time to answer all my questions, took care not to damage my floors or walls when replacing the water heater and gave lots of tips on how to avoid issues in the future!  As a new home owner, my first and only will be to Mac whenever I need a plumber!

After 4 separate plumbers came to my property to find a leak that ruined three rooms in my condo, Dex and Sam were the only plumbers to successfully come fix it. They easily found the problem in a short amount of time, after hours, and fixed it immediately. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with them and I hopefully will never have a water problem again, but if I do, I will be calling them.

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

Scott is a great plumber!! Very professional and fixed my shower in no time! Reasonable prices as well. I recommed this guy he is awesome!

Called yesterday, Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. Called this morning to see if they could come earlier. Lou and Ben just left. Tub drain was backed up solid, probably not cleaned out for 20 years. They did a great job. Explained everything to me as they went along. Showed me that we had a weird clean out. Were super pleasant and cleaned up. What more could you ask for?

Thomas and his team were quick to respond, transparent about their very reasonable pricing, and did a great job!

I highly recommend working with them. Don't even call other plumbing companies. Most will leave you frustrated with a lack of transparency and stick you with a bill that you weren't prepared for because they won't give an estimate!

Thank you for the great experience dealing with an unfortunate situation!

I have two properties in the city, one a rental, one our home and both are OLD.   I have had Jose and his team out for things like opening drains, to doing pretty extensive rebuilds of 80 year old clay pipe.  Their prices are good, and they do what they say are going to do without any hassle.  I've had some very bad experiences with other contractors, but these are good solid guys that work hard and give you a fair deal.  I can't give much better praise than that.

AP Construction is a great small business to support. They not only were incredibly flexible and willing to work around the crazy schedule of all the other contractors I had in my condo for my rehab overhaul, but they were communicative throughout the entire process and checked in with me several days after they had made repair work to my kitchen sink. I really appreciate their availability and the professionalism they approached my job with. Thanks AP you are fabulous!

I should have reviewed this a long time ago - my disposal started leaking under my sink...I posted on yelp for quotes or people that would be interested in my neighborhood for this small job.  I got a few responses but Sound got back to me right away and was able to come the next day. He offered to bring a comparable disposal or if I opted to get my own he would install.  I let him do it all.  Not only did he come and do the work fast and efficient - he also fixed the pressure on my sink that has boggled my mind since I've lived here.  Great guy - highly recommended.

I've had these guys come round twice to deal with emergencies (very old house, lots of issues to work through), and they were so easy to deal with each time. Great problem solvers and I would highly recommend.

I contacted Green Tech for a kitchen faucet installation. Kevin responded promptly, gave a very reasonable quote, was easy to communicate with, had a great sense of humor, and dispatched someone out to my house right away. Sean showed up right on time, was very polite, got right to work, finished replacing faucet, filtered water and two other small fixtures in a little over an hour. We were so happy with the beautiful outcome, workmanship, professionalism, and reliability.

Funny story, this was our second go around with Kevin's crew. My husband had been procrastinating on replacing the plumbing fixtures for quite a while and was insistent on doing the work because he is handy and wanted to save the money. Eventually, keeping marital harmony in tact won and I contacted Green Tech. When my husband came home and saw the beautiful work that had been accomplished in a third of the time it would have taken him, he was so pleased.

As we talked about who I had hired, my husband remembered that when we had had an issue with our plumbing about 2 years ago, we had Green Tech out to rot out our lines. I had not even realized we'd used them before. For that previous job, we experienced the same reasonable price, quality workmanship, professionalism, and reliability. Not only that, but they gave us great advice about the toilet paper we were using and we have not had an issue with our plumbing since! This was big news because it was becoming a semi annual headache having to rot out our plumbing twice a year. This is such a wonderful example of above the bar integrity.

Here is my advice to other Yelpers-hire Green Tech-you won't be disappointed!

What you NEED to know is in the last paragraph. TL;DR: This is the best home services experience I've ever had in my life.

We had a clogged toilet at 3 a.m. after hosting a  New Year's Eve party at our new home. Not the ideal way to kick off 2020. Using a plunger, we were able to get the water to flush very slowly and figured we got rid of the clog.

2 days later, the toilet still wasn't working. I requested a quote on Yelp, and Mike responded within minutes. Not only was the price competitive, but Mike offered to give me free advice on how to fix the problem myself in the event that it could save me time and money.

After trying all the conventional methods (plunger, auger) to no avail, I called Mike again to schedule service. He sent Danny who was at the house within 15 minutes. Danny was incredibly polite and thorough moving from auger to removing the toilet. Having tried all standard methods, Danny let us know that he would have to bring in the power rodder and that Mike was on his way to help out. Danny laid tarp along house to wheel in the huge machine, and Mike tried to think of other ways to solve this not-so-typical issue.

They ended up going to our crawlspace and rodding the pipes through there. I'll spare the details, but after a couple hours, the problem was fixed. Danny and Mike cleaned up the bathroom and closet with crawlspace access. And the toilet flushes like new.

I can't speak highly enough of this experience. We couldn't have asked for better service and, quite frankly, didn't know home services of this caliber existed. I would never hesitate to recommend giving these gentlemen a call, even for free advice. They'll be my go-to for any future plumbing issues (knock on wood), as well as if anyone ever asks if we know a good plumber. Mike giving us a discount for finding them through Yelp was a much-appreciated bonus.

The customer service and professionalism we received from this place was top notch! We called for an emergency plumbing issue and needed someone out as soon as possible to take a look and hopefully fix. The 2 service techs, Jesse and Joel, arrived within an hour and a half of calling. Then, they had the issue identified and fixed within an hour of being at the house. Not only were they timely, friendly and knowledgable, they were very clean as well! A huge plus!

I would highly recommend using this company for any plumbing issues -- we will definitely be using them for any future services we need.

We needed a new box installed in our bathroom to accommodate a new vanity light. Darrell was responsive to our request and spent ample time walking us through his proposal and estimate via phone.

Within a few days, Enis came out to do the work (in a mask and gloves, which was much appreciated). Enis worked tirelessly to install the new box and move an existing outlet to a more ideal placement, checking in along the way to ensure placements were to our liking before moving ahead. Darrell checked in via video call to ensure we were happy with the progress of Enis's work, which was a nice touch.

We're very happy with our new vanity light and switch, and I would not hesitate to call Sims and Sons for any future needs.

Chris was prompt and patient to identify and address all of our plumbing issues. The first plumber we used did nothing to resolve the problem, but Chris took the time to make sure his solutions addressed all issues thoroughly. I would definitely recommend!

We used CJ Plumbing for some kitchen work. They came out the same day I called to check out what needed to be done, set up a time, and give a quote. Our countertops were delayed which then delayed the plumbing work on the stove and sink. They were still able to come back within 24 hours to do the work. Our stove had no gas shut off so they installed a shut off and connected the cooktop. The plumbing under the sink was all messed up, not up to code, and they did a phenomenal job correcting all the plumbing there as well. Not only efficient but done very well. Will definitely have them come back for future plumbing work we need done.

Believe the 5 star reviews, Mike is awesome! It's so nice to have a plumber in my contacts who I not only know will do great work, but is also fair and 100% trustworthy. Mike is also super responsive, dependable, and takes great pride in his work. And to top it all off, we actually had a really fun day together when he came by! Great guy + great work = no brainer on reaching out to him for your plumbing needs.

My basement flooded after a night of rain. Called Juan to come give an estimate and he was at my house within the hour. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and replaced by sump pump right away. I will definitely recommend Juan and will use him for all my plumbing needs.

Great experience. He responded on a Saturday evening in 15 mins. Then, when we called back weeks later for another remodel issue he found a way to fix our problem over the phone.
