Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

The water heater at my rental property failed and my tenants woke up to cold water and water pouring from the tank.  I took a chance with All-Star based on reviews and am extremely pleased with their performance.  They gave me an honest quote and then a discount for replacing the second identical water heater that was also at the end of it's service life.  Vinnie was a complete professional and had the new units installed and running so the hot water was back by the time everyone came home from work.  I've had mixed experiences finding honest, quality contractors in Chicago, so it's a relief to know there's a plumbing company out there I can trust.  I highly recommend them.

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.

I had an er electrical issue.  Mo came within an hour found the issue fixed it.  He was fast courteous the price charged was very reasonable I will use his services and refer him to all

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

Moved into a new house 2 years ago and have nothing but good things to say about these guys. They updated my water lines, re-routed drains during a kitchen remodel, and even suggested better ways to save me money when reviewing the scope of work. They do great work and will do their best to get what you want. Legit would not go to any other plumber so long as these guys are in business.

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.

I needed a bath sink rodded. I called on a Saturday & left a message. They called me Monday morning and came out Tuesday and did the work. I'm happy with the work and will use them again. They are not cheap ($180 per hour per plumber), but they are upfront about their prices.

Dennis quoted a very reasonable price.
He was right on time the day of the work in our condo bldg.  He installed a new bath sink faucet and shower head that we had purchased. We also needed new shut off valves that he ran out to the hardware store because we didn't know what size we needed.. He did a great job and was pleasant to work with. Very happy we hired him.

Oscar and his crew did an amazing job fixing up my broken pipes.  We thought that we had only one remaining broken pipe (out of two known) that needed to be fixed.  

Well, after Oscar repaired the first pipe, we discovered there was another pipe that in the same area that broken as well. Furthermore, when we turned on the water for testing, there was ANOTHER broken pipe in my ceiling, even though that pipe should have been fixed by the previous plumbers last summer. He and his crew didn't hesitate - they immediately ripped out the drywall and found / fixed the last remaining broken pipe.

He was hired to fix one pipe, ended up fixing three(!) AND replace my outdoor faucet!  He recommended that I blow out the remaining water in my pipes with compressed air every winter, and offered to swing by that following Saturday to take care of it.  Incredible service!

It's incredibly hard to find honest, hard-working, and fair priced contractors, especially plumbers - Oscar is one of them.  I highly recommend him.

My first encounter with the Preferred Plumbing team was when they installed a new hot water heater in my home 5 years ago. Over the years I've had a couple of other plumbing issues that required work. I have met Mike, Russ and today Miguel, who did an outstanding job.  ALL of these gentlemen repaired the plumbing issue(s) in my home quickly and proficiently; they are honest, professional and very polite; each time leaving the work area cleaned up and neat. I felt the cost for their work seemed fair, I never felt like I was being gouged or taken advantage of. I hope not to have anymore plumbing issues, you never know, but if I do I have Preferred Plumbing Services on speed dial. Thank you gentlemen!!

So, this review isn't so much for the job that was done, because I ended up getting scheduled with my building's maintenance man instead, but I felt compelled to leave a comment on the customer service alone. I was mid-anxiety attack when I called Dominic about my leaky toilet and though he was unable to fit me in on that same day, he had me send him a picture of what I was looking at and then talked me through how to temporarily stop the leak. Which temporarily stopped my anxiety. And probably saved my floor and the ceiling of the person below me. For that alone, much gratitude!

Edited to add: and then came the plot twist: Dominick IS in fact my building's plumber!

*cue shocked music*

So now I can speak on his service, which was quick and thorough. With great personality to boot! Aside from that time I spent almost 12 hours on 5-hour train ride (don't ask), I've never been so happy to see my toilet. All is well once again!

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!

Called Patrick for a problem with our water tank. He came out the next day to fix the problem, very fair prices and efficient.

My kitchen sink was leaking badly right before Xmas. Quick response & instructions. He was able to fit me in before the winter storm so I had a new garbage disposal in time for all the Holiday cooking I planned. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!

Our kitchen sink was backed up so I gave these guys a call. Kristen was super nice taking my call and had a technician out to us in LITERALLY 20 MINUTES! Andrew came out and took care of the backup-the whole process took maybe an hour tops. Andrew was very friendly and professional-my cats who are normally super shy really liked him too haha. It was a reasonable price-$135 but they also gave me a 10% discount for paying cash.

Super grateful and happy with these guys!

We had a leak and the issue was resolved quickly and at a fair price. The guys that came out to do the service were personable as well. We will use this Company again in the future.
PS - The game was Elder Scrolls Online not Elden Ring if you guys should happen to read this. ;)

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.

Kennedy Plumbing was even worse.  Danny replaced two toilets.  He assumed that because I am elderly and disabled, I would not notice that he switched the fifty dollar seats that came with the toilets with $15 seats that don't even fit.  What is it about plumbers that they want to rip off the disabled and why did Szabo and Kennedy both think I was so stupid?  Not that it matters, but I'm a college professor with a PhD from Notre Dame.  I am appalled thinking how often these rip-off artists must succeed.

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!
