Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

These guys are extremely unreliable.  When they didn't show up the day they promised, the owner passed it off on the tight labor market, saying that his guys know they can simply not show up because there isn't anyone available to replace them.  The work they eventually did redoing the plumbing wall was good, however they then sent in a different crew to set the tub.  The head of this crew bragged about his 29 years of plumbing experience and spent about 2.5 hours setting the tub.  He was about to leave when I asked if he tested it.  He said he didn't because he didn't know the water was turned on.  WTF?  Really?  I told him that even if it wasn't I would think that he could have filled up a 5-gallon bucket with water and poured it down the drain, but then again, I'm no plumber, so perhaps that's conjecture.  We went up and tested the tub and the connection under the tub leaked terribly.  He then spent another two hours trying to correct, and busted the pin connecting the drain cap in the process.  He then went to Home Depot to buy a new one.  He came back, installed it, and rather than call me up to inspect the job he snuck out, hopped into his van and drove off.  I went up and saw immediately it was clearly the wrong pin.  Rather than deal with them I called Algor who said they would give me a new one at no charge.  

When I went to set the tile the following weekend I discovered the tub was nowhere near level from left to right, off over 1/2 over the 30 width.  After REPEATED attempts to get them back out to correct this they finally came when I threatened to contest the charge on my credit card.

In summary - you might get good work out of these guys - assuming you get the right crew, and they decide to come to work that day.  I think you are better off looking elsewhere.

You can't do better than these guys. My elderly parents have been long time customers. With the recent severe cold they had frozen pipes. Despite a crazy schedule, he fit them in and spent 2 hours to fix the problem.

Great service! They are professional, knowledgeable and courteous. So far I have used them twice and will continue to use them when I need any plumbing work!

We had just moved into our Del Webb home 3 weeks earlier when we awoke to water pouring from our basement ceiling light fixture. The water supply hose of our master toilet had cracked and had been leaking all night. We were new to this area as well so we had to rely on reviews to find a plumber. Hansen saved the day. The plumber was well qualified, nice and honest. They were at my door 15 minutes after my call. Very pleased. We want to give thanks to others who took the time to review Hansen. Passing it forward

Joe is punctual and arrived on time. He's professional yet easy to talked to and able to answer our questions. We had a very bad blockage in our kitchen drain pipe and Joe worked on it nonstop till it was unclogged. Highly recommended to all my family and friends.

Came by and fixed my nasty clogged toilet super quick, and it was after a 5 on a Friday. Would call back again for sure (hopefully I don't have to but good to know I can get a problem fixed quick)!

Very responsive and thus deserving of the 4 stars. I reached the answering service and she said Justin would call within 20 minutes and indeed he did. I withheld a star because I think the cost of their service is high- I paid $ 300 to have a toilet installed. To their credit, Justin was in and out within 30 minutes so they are efficient.  Perhaps the high price tag is worth it just to move on with your life. Justin is professional, respectful, knowledgeable and an asset to the business.

After working for 30 minutes on our clogged catch basin they said we needed a specialized service instead. When I asked how much we owed them he said Nothing!  When was the last time you got a free service call? These guys are the bomb.

Very easy to schedule and work with - appreciated the quick responses! Will definitely hire again if I need a plumber.

We're having plumbing issues and Brandon and team were super responsive in asking questions beforehand to understand the problem and providing guidance before they could get here. Also we were able to be scheduled quickly to resolve the issue, gave us detailed explanation of the issue and what our next steps should be.

Really helpful, efficient and friendly. Would definitely hire again. I had a running toilet and he replaced all parts as well as checked the whole water system in the house. Thx Grant.

Awesome. Called Todd at 8:15, problem solved by 11:00 am. Pricing was beyond fair and the response time was unheard of. A few unexpected valves needed to be replaced and he did not gouge on that either. Highly recommend.

My vanity came loose from the wall and experienced major water damage.  Mike and the Magic Men team came in and replaced the vanity and plumbing for me at a reasonable price.  He even went to the store for me to buy parts I had forgotten to buy.  Mike made this very easy for me and the job was completed on time.  When I told Mike my furnace wasn't working he offered to take a look at it for me as well.  Was able to help me identify the problem so I can get it properly serviced and he didn't charge me a dime for the assessment.  I couldn't recommend these guys more.

Great communication, with quick response and able to come out to fix our clogged kitchen sink within 24 hours. Would highly recommend for any plumbing issues.

Noticed water in my basement last night.  I called 3 different plumbers and while 2 of them were way over priced and looking to charge for more work than required to fix my issue (needed only a switch for my sump pump, as the pump was fine), Joe from Allison Plumbing was completely transparent about my issue.  Told me the pump was fine and simply needed a new switch/float.  He was very responsive, personable, and knowledgeable.  Replaced my switch for me in less than 25 minutes and charged me only a 1/3 of what the others were asking.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Kyle R is the worst customer service agent they possibly have. He was rude and had no idea what he was talking about. I had service for about 25 minutes and he claims the plumbers were here for three hours. Then he said they charge for three hours. He's not really sure what they're doing. However they were here for a short time and charged me $2400. I would never recommend this company for anything ever. They are criminals.
