Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

We had a clogged sewer line backing up from the floor drain where the washer drains into but also backing up from toilets.  We called them (Chicago Hts number but surely the same business) and like the Yellow Pages ad says, they were out within the hour.  The estimate was $250-275.  They rodded out the main line using the cleanout in the front yard and quickly the toilets were flushing smoothly.  

But not so the floor drain.  I had had some inklings that there was a clog very close by so it didn't totally surprise me that we actually had two clogs.  And, boy did they have to work to clear this one, finally having to remove the standpipe thing coming from the washer and even having to bring in the big machine they used outside.  (They were having to snake through a trap in the piping under the concrete slab floor to get to the clog.)  I asked if releasing that clog would potentially move on to reclog the mainline and true to their word, they went back outside and rodded the mainline all over again.  They explained what they were doing and why they would do it the way they did at every stage.

The floor drain clog took a lot more work than the mainline clog and they could have asked for double the quote.  In the end the tab came to $400 which is not cheap but I think for 2 men and the amount of time spent not only doing it but doing it right (so far as I could tell), it was reasonable.  Hopefully it all stays free running for a long time.  I would use them again when the time comes.

So, I came home to water all over the bathroom & a very leaky toilet.  I found B & A Plumbing here on YELP.  The receptionist on the phone was friendly & professional, Bobby called me back within 5 minutes, & came over an hour later.  He was honest up front & told me that I would be paying overtime for this evening call. He was friendly, professional, efficient, & clean!  I hope that I don't need to call a plumber again for a long, long time, but if I do, I'll definitely call B & A Plumbing again!

Joe was an incredible find when we moved into an old house.  He's easy to contact, arrives when scheduled and does outstanding work.  He stepped in at the last minute during a big project when another plumber that the village recommended turned out to be a disaster.

Awesome guy who fixed my plumbing problem in five minutes after another plumber worked on it for three days.  Also he checked a few other issues for free. Reasonable price as week.

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!

Had a plumbing issue and called and left a message.  Didn't get a call back until the following day, then he asked for pictures which I promptly sent.  Never heard from him again.  Called 2 days later, still have not heard from him.  Don't waste your time!

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.

I have changed my rating do to what I feel is being over charged. I have used GP for years and for the most part have been pleased.  Unfortunately I have had an ongoing shower issue in which the shower was presenting a leak from the back side of the granite running down from a panel in back of the on/off valve.  GP came out numerous times over the span of a few months to figure out the issue as the leak continued and spread.  In the meantime, I had the granite walls cleaned and re-sealed, the granite and glass joints re-caulked as well all the hardware re-caulked where it meets the granite, the granite floor mortar was removed and redone, and finally a hole cut in two places in the drywall on the opposite side of the shower wall to see if the leak could be detected from that point which it wasn't.  I have yet to have the drywall repaired and the wall painted.  Same person came out to try and figure out our dilemma each time.  From the start I (who has zero expertise in plumbing) suggested removing the panel behind the on/off lever to see if that is where the leak was occurring since this is where the water developed a water mark which was getting worse each time I used the shower.  The plumber did not listen to me and said it couldn't be the problem and to continue using the shower.  I didn't continue using that side of the shower.  I was charged each time they came to my house. I then started using the shower head on the opposite side (there are two shower heads in the same shower area) and the drip pattern on the leaking side dried up completely except on the floor of the shower under the granite tiles. Low and behold the SAME PROBLEM started with the opposite side shower on/off lever with the same drip pattern happening AGAIN but now on the opposite wall!  I called GB to voice my frustration because it was now happening with both on/off levers on opposite sides.  I also voiced my frustration that the panel in back of the on/off lever was never removed to see if the leak was coming from when the water was turned on which was what I suggested from the get-go.  Finally the owner came to my home to see if he could figure out the ongoing issue.  As it turns out I was correct, the leak was occurring behind the on/off lever panels on both sides of the shower.  If they would have done this on the FIRST VISIT, I wouldn't have incurred the above mentioned expenses in trying to figure out the issue with various vendors providing their services.  I just received yet another bill from GP for parts and service for their final visit.  While I agree I should pay for the parts, are you kidding me in charging for a service call after previously charging me for 3 visits and not rectifying the leak the first 3 visits?  Bad choice in charging me for service the final time, after all the aggravation and additional needless expenses I incurred, the final service portion of the bill should have been comped.  It is time to take my business elsewhere.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! A pipe in my basement burst from the rigid winter we had. A friend of mine referred me to Bee Quick Plumbing & Sewer. I explained to the gentleman the problem and within 15 minutes the gentleman sent someone to my house. He explained and repaired the busted pipe within a matter of minutes. He was very courteous and professional!!!  My experience with Bee Quick was amazing, never expected for them to come out as quick as they did.

Called to get an estimate for a hose bib replacement. Told I would have to pay $99 to have the plumber stop by to give an estimate for the job. I asked for a ballpark number, I was told the plumber would need to look at the hose bib. Next....

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!!!

Public Plumbers was referred to us by a trusted professional in the plumbing business when we discovered a gas leak in our house. This was an emergency situation and they came out within an hour of calling. They were very professional and thorough! It took a long time because they were being very careful and making sure they got every leak. I was expecting a gigantic bill but it was reasonable, given the situation. Peoples Gas came back out to assess and said the plumbers did a great job- we got our gas turned back on. I highly recommend this business!
