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.

Had a leak from my condo shower to the unit below me. Mo was quick to respond, showed up on time, diagnosed and fixed the issue within the same day. All at a fair price. I'm pretty handy and it was easy to tell he is experienced and knows what he is doing. Doesn't get any better in the handyman business. Will definitely call again for future needs!

Needed a new sewer pump and they replaced it in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend. They are very efficient. They answer right away. Good customer service.

Had a gas line issue and needed to get a section of pipe replaced quickly. Luckily I found Moody Plumbing as they did an incredible job. Not only were they very fairly priced, they came out quickly and were very professional. The work they did looks great and they even came out same day.

Can't give these guys enough praise and it was great to find honest and reasonable plumbers who clearly know their stuff. I would strongly encourage you to at least give them a call if you need plumbing work done.

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.

We have used Reeg plumbing for over 20 years. Recently we needed to replace washers in powder room bathroom.  When you call to leave a message,  1st question is always are you a customer presently
When plumber came he did not have the part.  part was ordered and 2 weeks later was installed.  When I received invoice there was a charge for initial visit and subsequent installation visit. It cost over $300 to replace washer.  When I questioned the charge, I was told I got a break, and the 'old poor me about hard it is staying in business.'  The plumber was in my home for less than half an hour-not my fault he did not have part and had to return.  Very disappointed and very expensive

Reasonably priced however I requested work for a ceiling patch up job and requested that it look flat which it did not after the 1st 2 coats of spackle. The initial price included up to 2 hours of which he worked about 1-1hr15 minutes. He charged an extra hour to apply a 3rd coat. He also forgot to do touch up painting initially which he said he'd do but did a mediocre job after he came back so I will need to repaint anyways. Communication was okay. He does ask for a deposit.

Our basement flooded on a Saturday afternoon after running our washing machine, so I put out a request through yelp and Oscar responded within 5 minutes. He was there within two hours, diagnosed the problem and then came back the next morning (Sunday) to replace an ejector pump. His price was very competitive and he worked really hard to solve the problem the right way. Also, Lilly was very reassuring over the phone that they would get the problem diagnosed correctly before doing any work. Most importantly, I didn't have to wait for great service. Thanks, Oscar and Lilly!

We've used Preferred Plumbing before and always have found them quick to respond with great service. However, after today's encounter with them, I wanted to take time to leave a review. I failed to get the plumber's name, but initials on the invoice are MJ.

Late last night I was cleaning out cabinets and tossing various items into my garbage disposal. Without too much thought, I poured in a half bag of dry black beans. After awhile, the sink stopped draining and I knew I'd made a huge error in judgement. I scooped out a lot of the now chopped black beans in hopes that would do the trick. Also suctioned out all of the extra water in the sink, and tried a plunger ... all fails! Fessed up to my husband who called Preferred Plumbing.

I was NOT looking forward to facing the plumber with my confession. One other time, I'd stopped up the disposal with flower stems (thinking they were like vegetables) and had gotten a friendly lecture from the plumber (not from PP). However M. J. could not have been nicer or more professional. Never once did he reprimand my error in judgement. He was pleasant while he took apart the drain (which was totally clogged with now hardened black bean pieces). When I apologized again he jokingly said that he'd heard that garbage disposals are a plumber's best friend and that I was not alone in all of this. He was friendly, efficient, cleaned up everything and when I offered him a tip for his positive attitude, he tried to refuse it. It was truly a pleasure working with him. He made a very positive impression on me (and I'll try not to dispose of other items just to see him in the future!).

I have never written a review before but joined Yelp just to write one for Dominick.  I had a clogged toilet that I had tried augering and plungering but nothing worked.  He provided a pretty clear cost estimate over the phone, but when he came over he used a diagnostic trick to identify a cheaper way to fix the problem, and in the end he charged less than the lower end of the range he had quoted.  Other plumbers I talked to took a look and didn't even bother using creative problem solving to find a solution, and they quoted triple what Dominick charged.  I will never use any other plumber, ever, as long as I live in Chicago.

We had a leak and these guys were so immediately responsive and communicative and they were able to fix our issue so quickly. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

Patrick and his team are dependable and professional! They have the latest tools in the industry to get the job done right and effective! It was fun watching them work. I learned things and had them back for repeat service. They did 2 sewer scope inspections for me, rotted out my sewer line and made great recommendations for remedies with our making me feel pressured.
I recommend these guys.

Noe was fantastic! Super friendly and knowledgeable, and provided us with excellent service for an affordable cost. We recently purchased a new condo and the shower/tub was leaking into the ceiling of the unit below us. So grateful for Noe's help, would highly recommend!

Wonderful service, came the same day (a Saturday no less), solved one medium-sized problem and was able to solve a second issue which could have been a big headache.  Thanks to Dave G for professional, friendly service.

My second floor bathroom shower valve was leaking after twenty years of wear and tear. Jason and his partner David were very knowledgeable and professional in in assessing what the job would require to sucessfully complete the repair or replacement of the valve.
Jason determined that the delta cartridge would only require replacement not the valve itself. The job was performed in a professional and timely manner! Thank you Anderson plumbing as a prevouis quote from another company would  have cost me $1,900 to replace a valve that wasn't necessary.

The tub and sink in my guest bath were stopped up and a neighbor recommended Right Away Plumbing.  First, they didn't show up right away by a long shot and secondly, they charged a fortune for work that last under an hour ($640!).  Then I asked for an estimate for a leak they found in the sink.  When I finally received it, I was shocked at the price (close to $2k).  Found someone else who charged me $125!  This place is a rip off in my humble opinion.

proficient plumbing - but pay a premium.
Tub drain replacement should have been 200-300$, bill was $650. good grief.
Found NAZ plumbing at the hardware store, local family owned in Bridgeview (872) 800-7943 for balance of work, at an affordable price.

**This review is for the service I received from Peter.**

The sink and garbage disposal in our kitchen have been clogging up for the past week or so. I turned to yelp for plumbing suggestions and saw that this company was highly recommended.

When Peter arrived, he diagnosed the problem and accurately determined that the issue was not within our condo but was with lines in the building. He advised me to check in with the condo association for them to fix it.

This is noteworthy because he was not just trying to get paid, but to actually help fix the problem.  When you call plumbers and similar companies, it's usually because you do not know how to resolve the issue on your own and need someone to give good advice.  

Some people take advantage of the fact that you don't know how to fix whatever issue and they try to convince you to do work that you don't actually need.  Not Peter -- he was very honest and like I said, gave accurate advice even though that would have meant not getting paid.  I appreciate people with integrity and would definitely work with Peter again.
