Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I called Mr. Burris late at night when I came home from work and discovered I had no heat. First thing the next morning Mr. Burris came to my house personally. He very quickly got all of my radiator heaters/ boiler working. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He knew immediately what was wrong with my heat! I will always call Mr. Burris for any of my hearing, or plumbing in the future. While he was here he also gave me a great referral for some electrical work that I need done in my home. He went over and above and I can truly say that this has been my best home repair service that I have gotten since I moved to Chicago

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 went above and beyond for a minor repair, he not only answered my call and gave me a same-day appointment (without upcharging like some do), he also arrived, looked at my bathroom hose, realized it needed replacement and not fixing, and that the company that provided my bathroom sink/hose also provides a lifetime warranty. He even offered to place the service call for me. But then he realized it might take a week to get it replaced by the company, and given it is the only bathroom I have, he said he will see if there are alternatives. 10 min later he calls me and tells me he went out to BestBuy he found the needed part and asks if it's ok to come back and replace. Now tell me if you ever had a handyman who also cares, well now you do. Thanks Martin!

The bots and text messages are a coverup for a lack of communication and customer service.

We made an appointment with Fixer during a weekday, for which my wife stayed home from work. 15 minutes after the time they were scheduled to arrive, we received a text saying that they wouldn't be able to keep the appointment, asking us to reschedule and offering a $50 discount. My wife makes well over $50 a day!! This bad news was sent via text and after I responded and prompted a reply, we heard no more from them.

The $50 discount would've been easily absorbed by the Fixer's exorbitant fees. I'm leery of a home repair company that can't even honor their own appointment schedule. I understand that things happen, but at least take full responsibility and go above and beyond to remedy your mistake.

Emergency plumbing installed our toilets in three of our bathrooms. They even pointed out things to us we hadn't noticed about a pipe that had been leaking which was so helpful! We were so pleased with this experience that we asked them to come back to cap pipes in our basement. Very reasonable price and great on timing.  Very friendly!

I can shower again!!
I recently moved into a new house and the plumbing in the Tub needed some major work!! We tried everything to unclogged the tub. Nothing worked. I finally gave up and call these guys from a recommendation on one of my moms group on Facebook. They answered my call immediately and they arrived within the hour. They were done within minutes! A huge clunk of hair came out of the drain. They also did my sink while they were at it. Thank you so much!!

Charge me $380 Ron out the basement it only last for four months and I had the same problem came back out here I wanted to charge me another $250 do the same thing again  do not guarantee they work

Fantastic response and friendly technician. This is our 3rd time using Excel, and not our last.

On Saturday May 31 we came home to a leak in our bathroom ceiling.  My upstairs neighbor was not home, but we had access to his unit.  I went up Sunday morning and couldn't see signs of a problem.  Sunday morning we called the helpful plumber to come assess the situation.   Based on my past experience I was expecting to need to cut the ceiling open, assuming it was an issue with the plumbing in between floor.  

When the plumber arrived (on Sunday at the time they told us) he investigate several possibility causes of the leak without making any holes.   On a hunch(there was no visible water) we pulled out the fridge and found the source of the problem.  He quickly made the repair and took care of a couple other minor maintenance issue we discovered along the way.  We were thrilled to not have to cut the ceiling and need drywall repairs.

These guys are nice, courteous, on time, and found/fixed the problem.  I will call them again should I have another plumbing issue.

Thompson Plumbing was terrific! Wayne showed up on time and was quick, and thorough. Kathy in the office was terrific with customer service. The whole experience was effortless and their fees were quite reasonable. We will recommend them again and again.

Scheduling was efficient, prompt. Tim was punctual, his explanation of the plumbing issue, clear and concise. This was quality work, quality service. Pricing was fair!

We called Body plumbing to repair one of our leaking backflow valves. He gave us good price on the repair and he even came twice to work on it after the first attempt did not come out right at no extra charge. His pricing however on testing was good but we found better so we will use another company for yearly testing. We will definitively call him again to get pricing in the future though.

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.

I'm shocked to see the negative reviews for John. I've used him for the past 6 years and have had nothing but an unbelievably positive experience. He's saved us thousands of dollars in advice, where I've been told differently with other services to buy or change things.

Had them install a gas line for an outdoor grill. Received multiple quotes and they were much more reasonable. They showed up on time and made fast work of the project.  I liked that they discussed different options before starting to make sure we were on the same page.  Will be using again.

If you are looking for fast honest expert service...these are the guys you want to call.

Had a sewer back up into the laundry room. Called All Suburban...they had a man out first thing in the morning who discovered that my main sewer line just leaving the house had collapsed causing the back up...a routine rodding became an underground dig.

They quoted me a price that was very fair and set up the permits and completed the job the next day.

We were amazed at how little disturbance there was to our front landscaping...it was almost as if they were never there.

The whole crew was polite and professional...they did what they said they were going to do...and cleaned up before they left.

I will definitely call these guys again if I ever need plumbing work.

Pressure Pro was recommended to me by my property management company. The hot water pressure was low in my shower. He told me he would be here at 9:00 am and showed up on time. He was very friendly and out of here within 30 min. Very reasonable rates. My shower works great and I can't believe I waited so long to have it repaired.

I contacted J Blanton Plumbing to have the sewer line inspected on a home my wife and I are purchasing to make sure it hasn't caved in. I was told the following by Jenn, We can come out this week to have the sewer line inspected. There is a $125 charge for customers who do not currently own the home. This was significantly cheaper than other quotes so I verified that it was correct when I called to set up the appointment. Jenn assured me this was the price.

Because they do not set specific appointmentment times, I was given a window (between 2 and 5 PM.) Jenn told me that she'd put in a note to not show up prior to 3:30. They didn't show up until 5:25 PM at which time they informed me that a sewer line inspection would be $379 ($254 above what Jenn quoted me and $30 higher than the highest quote I had received via Yelp). They informed me that $125 is for a home inspection not a sewer line inspection.

The bottom line: don't believe the quote your given. For them to argue it was miscommunication is a bit disingenuous given the message they sent me (quoted above). I will not be using J Blanton Plumbing for anything in the future.
