Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

It took over two hours but we resolved several problems that have been bugging me for years in this vintage apartment.

1. They were able to come right away on a Saturday!
2. They unclogged a completely clogged kitchen sink and replaced a rotting drain.
3. Determined that garbage disposal and ancient plumbing do not mix, advised we not use it.
4. Cleaned trap in bathroom sink that is slow to drain.
5. Identified hole in hose for dishwasher drain (need to schedule that repair).
6. Identified problem with low pressure in hot water supply in the other bathroom sink; need to shut off building water to fix, will submit to co-op board (collective problem, not just mine).

The plumbers were friendly and polite throughout, explaining everything to me. Outstanding service.

I was very happy with their installation of my Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater. It was kind of complicated and I was having a hard time finding someone to install it. They did it quickly and at a good price. Thanks again.

Could not be any happier with the experience that we had with Mo! We just bought a home and had a number of projects that we needed completed, and Mo was on time for the appointment and had all of the tools necessary for everything needed. He also wore his mask the entire time, was thorough, professional, and one of the nicest people we've met!

We had a really hard time finding someone to come out and help with the projects in our new home (new toilet installation, switching out the washer and drier, caulking several areas, and fixing a few minor issues). Larger companies rescheduled on us twice, so we decided to go with Mo and I'm extremely happy with did.

You will be too!

Reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, prompt and trustworthy. Thank you! Will call again for any future needs!

Joe came out to fix a ruptured pipe in my wall.   He was quick to respond and instantly knew how to tackle the problem.  He was extremely quick and explained everything he was doing in detail.  His price was more than fair.  Great experience.  Highly recommend!

I had a really bad back up in my basement and I came on yelp looking for a good company to do the job. They have pretty good reviews soooo I called and the rest is history. The have some really good pricing for their services. They found the problem and fixed the problem expeditiously. The customer service was A1. The prices are A1. They give a life time warranty on their services. Highly recommend for any plumbing issue.

The recent cold snap caused a pipe to blow.  I woke up at 6:00 am on Dec. 27 and found water that was ankle deep throughout the entire basement.  When I called Reeg, they called back within a half hour.  They asked if I had to turn off the water to the entire house.  I answered yes since the leak was behind a wall.  I can imagine how many calls they received throughout that weekend over Christmas weekend for burst pipes.  It was obvious they were doing triage to get to the people who had no water.  Reeg was out that day to stop the leak and at least get the main water back on.  I'm letting the wall and all the rest of the basement dry out, then will call Reeg back to finish the job.  They were great.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Chicagoland handyman. I was looking for a handyman to complete a few projects in my home. The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite.

I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home.

The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

Fixed our sink. Very reasonable price. They were delayed in arriving. They left to get the needed part, came back & fixed the problem. They even cleaned drain at no extra charge. Will use them again.

We just completed a 3 part plumbing  job with Mike and Brian.

We were absolutely satisfied with the outcome and will hire them again if we need a plumber.

I just had Dominic come out for the 3rd time. This time it was for a precautionary measure. Dominic is the most honest plumber I know. We ran several tests and told me that everything looked and seemed normal.  

I would recommend Dominic to anyone. He is reliable, hard working, really makes sure you understand the problem and beyond fair with pricing.

They always come to help my business! They do an amazing job, they are so honest and come quickly when I need someone last minute. I would highly recommend them to any business looking for an honest quick fix to your plumbing problems! Thank you Red Hot Plumbing!

I was fortunate enough to have Patrick himself cone out to fix my show do toilet. He was able to fix the problem in under 20min. Very friendly and informative. Well definitely use him in the future

Noe saved the day as my parents kitchen sink was backing up and overflowing over the weekend. I called Noe and he picked up immediately. He asked some questions and I sent photos to help diagnose the scope of the issue remotely and determined a rough cost. Noe was very responsive over text messages and gave me confidence he understood what we were dealing with given it's an old vintage building with many units.
Once he arrived he got to work and given his planning had everything he needed to stop the clog. The clog ended up being 64 feet upstream from the sink and clearly an issue in the buildings central plumbing rather than the apartment's pipes. The job was bigger than he assumed and he was still very efficient in solving the problem and charged a very reasonable price even when he was their longer than he'd planned. Noe's experience with the quirks of old Chicago buildings in invaluable in trouble shooting and solving the problem. Noe gives a much more personal touch as a small business than the big companies will and makes himself available for your emergency on weekends if the need arises. I definitely would recommend affordable plumbing to others if they want the confidence of someone who really will think thru the problem and leverages the experience they have to solve them

Don't let the nice lady who answers the phone fool you. These guys will not do the job and will steal your money. They came out 3 times in 1 month and never once did what I asked and I'm a professional. Don't say I didn't warn you.

They fixed an issue with a rocking toilet and identified an issue before it became worse. I appreciate Gabriel's candidness and helpfulness.

Called to get quote for installing 2 tubs and 2 water closets.     The job was to install a regular tub not a jacuzzi and the toilets are the same floor mounted toilets we all have in our homes.  The guy tells me he needs to see the new and existing tubs and the toilets.  Right away he started by telling me the drains may be different.   Apparently,  he's used to people thinking there must be something extraordinarily different in your regular homedepot.  With that I can tell he's a high priced scammer.  I'm an architect and deal with contractors all day long.  Don't use this guy.

I called Szabo plumbing for a clog in my master bath. 2 plumbers came out and in fixing the clog released water into my foyer. They cut a hole in my ceiling and left me with it. I spoke with many people at Szabo plumbing including Kevin, who promised a repair. A drywaller called twice and didn't show up both times. Calling Szabo again didn't get any results, so I was left to hire someone to repair my ceiling.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! If I can save a singe customer from the experience I have had over the past month! I had a pipe burst around Christmas and this service came out to defrost my pipes. Since they responded I decided to use them for a rerouting. The plumber was not only late but showed up at 7pm and stayed till midnight rerouting. The plumber had to come back several days later to finish the installation because my contractor had to redo some framing. One of the laundry valves they installed  leaked and it took the plumber several days to come out, however the valve was never replaced. After almost a week of no shows and no communication, a different plumber showed up and installed a wash tub hook up that was supposed to be done at the same time as the laundry. As he was leaving I said there is a leak and he told me he had spilled water. Pipe was still leaking about 2 hrs later I called them to come back... the plumber tried to tell me it was ground water leaking until I pointed out the leak in the cold water valve they had installed the week prior. This is how they left my new drywall.... I'm praying their work holds up but am skeptical! Please save yourself the headache and heartache! Hopefully their contract holds up if there is any further issue!
*****update... as you can see by the owner's response he holds no responsibility for the people he employs. I was in contact numerous times with him and his plumbers. Many reschedules and no shows and it took me going to the BBB and my credit card company to reverse payment for services to get someone out. Another company had come out on Christmas Eve and fixed my busted pipe. His company came out on Christmas and defrosted my pipes causing one to burst while they were there and they had to fix it. I went with them after several estimates because they came out on Christmas and it was nothing but a headache and hassle to get the work done. As you can see by the photos below they do inferior work, and had to put multiple holes in my drywall to put pipes through and wrote on my walls. They did not wrap the rerouted pipes they placed and I have  to have someone now come out and fix their work. Plumbers were late and at my house till almost midnight to reroute pipes, and several other plumber's mysteriously showed up late in the evening to help this plumber finish his job, their in dependability set my contractor back a whole day waiting for their plumber to show up to finish the job he was supposed to be there for at 8am, and didn't show up till close to 2pm after multiple calls to this owner and his plumber.Believe who you want.... But again, use at your own risk. This company embellishes the extent in which they respond and perform their work. Look at some of their other online reviews and you will see similar complaints!  Just admit the mistakes and do better for the next person!
