Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Hot water heater tank leak on holiday weekend. Called on a Sunday call was answered on 3rd ring.  Got estimate over the phone and plumbers arrived first thing Tues am. Replacement was completed final price as estimated. Professional polite and efficient. OP office.  I would absolutely recommend and will use this company again

This company did a wonderful job of rodding out my backed up sewer.  Reasonable price.  They also recommended additional repair work, (waiting for the quote via e-mail) showed me a picture of corroded coper vent pipe.  Excellent clean-up after work.  Stopped by my house within an hour of my call.  Workers were polite and well groomed.  I wish I had known about this company years ago.

Have used Joe for at least 10 years.  Use him not only at our house, but more often at a 4 flat we own.  Good work, fair prices, and shows up when he says he will.  And shows up quickly if it's an emergency.  Can't recommend him highly enough!

Excellent honest very fair priced old school plumber. He worked hard for four hours straight and the bill was 40 % less than the big company quotes plus when the job ran longer than expected because of the common snafus he stayed until 9pm to get it finished and cleaned up everything. Also has an easy going friendly personality. I couldn't be more pleased and am shocked he doesn't have many more reviews.

Had received a quote from another plumber for my cabin in Three Oaks.  Thought it was somehwat high so decided to get a second quote before proceeding...so glad I did!  Not only was Goodman lower but my experience from initial call to on-site completion was top-notch on all.  Nick (owner) took time to explain the issues and even though they ran into an unexpected on-site issue (I actually had a 120v water heater versus a 220v), he was able to pivot immediately and get a new unit in and install it the very next morning in time for guests arriving following day.   Could not recommend this company enough - just an honest, efficient, professional small business that always make sure they have a happy and satisifed customer whatever it takes.  Thanks to Goodman team and will be recommending you to all the other owners at Lakeside Cabins!

bob is wonderful. very ethical and pays a lot of attention to detail. wouldn't use anyone else.

We needed help with removing our toilet and replacing the wax ring, but we didn't have the tool to cut a rusty screw. They were quick to respond to my initial call and flexible with coming later the following day when my husband was home from work. They arrived on time and were done very quickly, at an affordable price. Both men were polite, friendly, and social. We will definitely be saving their number for future needs!

We hired Gus to add on to and stain our old outdoor playground which turned out great! He really worked with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. It looks like new again and now our son has a clubhouse! He stained our fence and did some work under our deck. Reasonable prices, very friendly and communicated to us when he was available and would come over to work. Would hire again and share his name with friends! Thanks Gus!

Very Professional and Friendly. Competitive prices. I called Cesar that day and he came out right away.

My wife and I recently needed a couple new toilets and few other more minor plumbing tasks done.  I researched plumbers in our area via Yelp, Consumer Checkbook, and the Better Business Bureau.  Based on what I found and the responses I received from several plumbing companies in the running to a detailed list of our tasks, I ended up choosing Glenbrook Plumbing.  My wife and I were both very pleased with how things turned out.  The plumber who did the work, Rob, not only did a fine job, but he also provided us with useful information about several other plumbing-related matters.  He was both professional and pleasant.  We expect to use Glenbrook Plumbing for any future plumbing tasks that might arise.

I manage a portfolio of properties all over Chicagoland and Jason has been our go to plumber for all our plumbing. He charges a fair price, and is always available for questions. In the last 3-4 years I've probably had him work on 40-50 homes, and have always been pleased. I've recommended him to family, and other property owners(investors), and they've always been pleased.

The only reason I gave  them one star is they did fit me on the day I had an issue.    The tech came to the house and in 10 min told my wife we need a whole new furnace and also told her we need a new air conditioner with out taking a look at the unit (in November)  I was out  $89 with out him even cleaning the unit or really looking at it.   I was  told it would cost around $4000.00 to $6000.00  and need to do it before it  broke down.   I did not feel this was the issue and had another company come look at the unit and he cleaned and adjusted the furnace and told me nothing was wrong.

Not sure if the whole company are crooks  but the tech was not a honest person

Do Not Hire this person!!!
We recently hired him for a small shower renovation. We paid him $4k and he never finished the job. We had 3 separate plumbers check his work and All of them said it was incorrect. We ended up paying someone else to finish the job correctly. He ghosted us and never responded to us after he took our money. HORRIBLE! Please Do Not Hire Him!!!

Now looking at these two other reviews, I feel I should comment because after all the total experience is what matters. I called for an elderly neighbor who needed a new toilet. We purchased a toilet at home depot, then got what seemed like a reasonable quote from them. I was not able to be there, but got a call from them saying that the toilet was installed but that the flow going into the bowl was very low definitely sub par. They offered to take this new toilet out and replace it with one from their warehouse the next day. Hmm I thought, ( I was feeling pressured to decide for this elderly lady, and time is money as he kept repeating) so I decided no and asked them to take the brand new toilet out, and that we'd return it to Home Depot and start again. I got a call 15 minutes later saying problem was resolved that there was a rag stuck inside the brand new toilet. Hmm...
What do you folks think? Scam or honest mistake?
Wouldn't a seasoned plumber check inside the bowl before installing, or the Home Depot return people check before restocking it. that's IF the toilet had been previously purchased unbeknownst to us?
Too many if, buts, or maybes I think.
Just keep all your senses alert, if you still choose to use them.
Price was competitive, I'll say that.
