Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Great honest service at a reasonable price. Mr. Burris really knows his business. He gave me great advice going forward and I will definitely use him in the future.

My boyfriend and I were having some major issues with our sump pump. Jake did great work, he was very professional, AND came out the same day. We will definitely be using these guys in the future!

Martin is an excellent handyman and a reminder of why it's best to leave it to the professionals.

I had several pending home projects, and he completed them quickly and accurately. He even offered suggestions on where certain items should be placed.

I highly recommend this company for any home projects.

They are fantastic!  It's always easy to book them.  They're always on time and fix the problem quickly.  They do a great job.  I really recommend them.

Sent out a request for a plumber to fix an exterior hose connection and by noon the next day Emergency Plumbing had fixed the issue. They were very easy to communicate with and gave a quote through Yelp (rather than making you pay a $50 service call to give an estimate like most other plumbers). The fix was quick and easy and payment was a breeze as well. I would recommend this business and use them again if necessary (but hopefully not necessary!)

Professional, knowledgeable,honest and timely. Got our condo building drains working properly.

I called them because they were in the area. They came fast and very convenient. Not sure if they where pricey but got the job  in less than an hour from time of call.

You have absolutely no idea how important a water heater is to your home, lifestyle, and well-being until it decides that it has had enough! After more than 10 years of service, our 6-year Bradford White water heater started to leak profusely from the top. Having had mixed experiences with multiple local plumbing and HVAC companies, I decided to finally give Excel Plumbing a shot at installing a new Bradford White water heater--and that seems to have been a great decision! Reasonable pricing, consistent communication, professionalism, quality equipment, and products, and no upselling. They also helped with City of Evanston permitting. Ed C. Thom, Dmitry, and everyone involved were fantastic. As a real estate broker, I highly recommend Excel to my clients and colleagues!

My home warranty company had contracted with this plumbing company to repair my sump pump that malfunctioned causing some minor  basement flooding. Your Helpful Plumber was scheduled to arrive between 9am and 11am. They never arrived, and I called and texted the company but did not receive a response. My situation is urgent as another severe rainstorm is forecasted for tonight. I called Choice Home Warranty at 4pm to let them know that I needed another plumbing company to come to my home and to cancel the request for Your Helpful Plumber. I went to Home Depot and purchased sand bags to put around my garage in case the rainfall tonight is heavy. NEVER rely on this company, as they are totally unresponsive.

The crew arrived on the scheduled day and called ahead to let us know they were coming and what time they would arrive. They were polite, explained everything and had the job done in 2 days. They cleaned up after. They answered all my questions. Fabulous job! I would definitely hire them again!

I'm very impressed how responsive Tim was. Our garbage disposal stopped working, and while getting under the sink to troubleshoot, I found a leaky pipe too. He was here within 24 hours and made the necessary repairs. We're planning a remodel of our master bath within the next couple years, and we'll definitely call Keeley's again.

Body Plumbing did  our City of Chicago Backflow Device testing for our house (we have a home sprinkler system).  He came in about half the price of a few other places we called.  He was on time, very nice and professional and did all the paperwork.  Highly recommended, great experience.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

Jon was very courteous over the phone and didn't get mad or charge me for rescheduling our first appointment at the last minute, but that is the only good part of our experience with this company. We hired them based on the good Yelp reviews to come fix the dishwasher shutoff valve under the sink. They were brusque and rude about several things:
--Jon had to ask me what's the job again? when I called to see if they were still coming (they showed up an hour and a half late.) I get that they're busy, but any businessperson should have notes of some kind on their appointments, because it's just obnoxious to give the impression of forgetting who your customers are and what they need.
--They were annoyed that the water wasn't already off when they arrived. I get they don't want to wait, but we live in an old condo building and can't turn off the hot water just for our unit--were we supposed to shut off hot water for the entire building for four hours on a 20-minute job?
--They disregarded specific instructions from my husband and then acted like it was his fault their time was wasted. I get they're frustrated, but they should have listened to their customer instead of assuming he didn't know what he was talking about.
--They demanded cash or check and dragged their feet to take card information even though their Yelp page says they accept credit cards. I have worked in many a small business; I get that CC fees are an issue, but seriously, this is 2018. If every nonprofit I know can maintain a Square, so can a decent business. And at the VERY least, they shouldn't draw people to your business by saying they take cards and then try to bully their way out of actually doing it.
--Turns out they actually caused a further hassle for us because they put on the wrong size valve when they replaced it--didn't match the dishwasher hose. Again, I GET IT; they can't carry around every possible part they might need. But they didn't ask us in advance what size it was (we're not experts; we don't know what they need to know) and they didn't tell us what they were putting on, they didn't give us the option to run out and pick up the correct part, etc. They just left it for us to discover when we got the new dishwasher installed, so we had to delay that to get a connector.

On top of all that, they charged us quite a lot of money for a very small job. And for the final time, I GET that you have to have minimum charges for showing up; I'm a very reasonable person and I'm all for people making a decent living! But there's a good wage for skilled work, and then there's $250 for a job that took one part and 45 minutes *including* the time THEY wasted by not listening to my husband.

The associate was very professional called and gave me a heads up on his ETA.

He quickly fixed my drainage issue in my tub and had the time to answer some of the concerns I have with water pressure and insulation for the pipes in my top floor bathroom.

will definitely use them again.

Wonderful Service!! Completely reasonable, professional and HONEST!!! We told them the problem over the phone and they gave us an estimate and then evaluated the problem in person and remained with their estimate. Went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that we were taken care of and our problem was handled. A different company quoted us at an outrageous price. ALL SUBURBAN IS A GREAT, HONEST, HARDWORKING COMPANY!!!

Wow. This was a first. Jay showed up on time to his credit. From there it just went downhill. I asked Jay to remove his shoes as we would be going upstairs and there is a carpet runner on the steps and carpeted bedroom he would have to walk through. He said no he could not remove his shoes because he'd be bringing equipment in. Ok, that's a first. Typically contractors will have no problem with this or will bring the blue shoe covers. I mention well, ok, as long as your shoes are clean. He then says this isn't going to work, turns around and walks out the door. I stood there a second, picked my jaw up off the floor then opened the door and said you realize how unprofessional you are acting and he said yep, got in his car and left. Maybe he's a pro at improving water pressure (I wouldn't know), but he's far from having a professional demeanor. I'm willing to bet he doesn't behave like this if it was a man greeting him at the door.

My garbage disposal died and I called Blanton.  I was informed there would be a $59 fee to come to my home, but the funds could be applied if we utilized their services.  I agreed to that, and we scheduled a time.  They show up on time and the plumber, who was professional and courteous, assessed the situation.  He told me it would cost $600 to replace the disposal.  He also told me it take about 30 minutes.  I thought this was expensive and Googled the replacement disposal and found it on line for $99.  When I expressed concern that the fee was expensive, he offered me a 15% discount and told me that he didn't make the fees.  I decided not to get the disposal through them due to the cost.  I then called ABT- they sold me a better disposal for $98 and installation was $139.  Never will I call this company again.
