Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

I contacted this plumber because of the great reviews on here and he's close by. He seemed really nice and told me to text him my information and he'd keep me updated on whether he could make it out to help us or not. I text him twice with no response. We waited on him all day to see if he'd at least say he wouldn't make it so we could call someone else. We didn't have any water by the end of the day and it got very frustrating. Now we had to call a plumber to come out in an emergency because this guy didn't even bother to let us know if he'd come. We trusted him bc of the reviews and didn't expect this. Now we're stuck paying extra emergency service fees for the weekend when we could've called someone else before our problem got worse. I didn't get a text until this morning so I know he was getting my messages. I would not use them or recommend. Very unprofessional.

I can't say Enough Good Things about the Job Jaime did today. He came out to fix a blockage in My Sewer Line. He went above what was expected to make sure the line was flowing. I know who I'm calling for all My Plumbing needs for now on.

Darren just saved me about $6,000. Our main sewer line was backing up in the basement. I had one plumbing company out to take a look at the work. They advised me that I would need to install about 8 feet of new pipe as well as an exterior clean-out valve. The clean out valve in the basement was only 4 inches in diameter so you couldn't properly clean out the exterior sewer line because it was 6 inches in diameter. Decided to get a second opinion from Darren at Flush Plumbing. He came out and recommended we clean out the line from the manhole at the street. Turns out my sewer line tied in directly to the man hole. He routed it out no problem and took care of some other minor plumbing issues for me. No excavations, line replacements, or city permits needed. He'll be my go-to plumber from now on. Amazing.

Best experience!!! I had a crisis in my home and Go Rooter came to my home immediately and it was late at night. I received an excellent assessment of my home disaster and a very reasonable price.  My work was completed in one day!  And I had major damage from a water heater that flooded the upstairs and collapsed my kitchen ceiling downstairs big time.  I have never had work completed as stated by any contractor or worker.  I was skeptical of the time of completion but it was done as stated, in one day!!Go Rooter is a reliable business, not pushy or seeking to take advantage of people, especially with emergency situations.  The plumbers are certified the workers are very experienced, efficient and knowledgeable.  Thank you!! Great job!  Strongly recommend Go Rooter!!

I called Roc's Plumbing the day before Easter in need of emergency service. No one else was willing to come out but, Rocco (the owner ) spoke with me and ended up calling a couple of his workers to see if he could get anyone out to me. Within an hour he had a plumber at my house. Not only did they come out promptly but the plumber that came out, Michael, was very professional, knowledgeable, and left my basement almost cleaner than he found it. The prices were reasonable as well. I will not be using any other plumber from now on!

I called Kevin last night and he came out the next day. Did a great job. Helped me trouble shoot a very tricky leak and fixed it for a very fair price. I'd recommend him 100% if your looking for an honest fair plumber

I needed an estimate for services and was happy to not only have someone answer quickly but the owner himself. He walked me through cost estimates, timing, labor, and parts cost. It was easy, polite, and friendly conversation.

Good to see a local customer service focused business in the South Shore community.

This guy is the best!  Had a loose faucet that became a more complex problem and knew I needed to get a plumber into help.  I was reluctant to call one out of fear I'd be over charged or sold something I didn't need.  Found Don on Yelp - he emailed me right back and was at the house within an hour.  No hidden fees, no selling - clear hourly rate for work performed.  He finished fast, showed me a few things and was happy to watch me test his work.  VERY fair pricing vs any other quote I got and clearly trustworthy guy.  Will always call him in the future!!

Two weeks after moving into my new place, I called Boss Plumbing to unclog a clogged kitchen sink and told Joe that I also wanted the sink replaced at a later date.  He said it would be $275 to unclog the drain.

Joe is a pleasant guy who talks fast, thinks fast and works fast.  The routing machine did not unclog the drain the first time, so he put on a cutter tip and tried again.  The clog was also unfazed by the cutter tip.  He headed into the garage, which sits directly under the kitchen in my town home.  As he started to assess where to open the ceiling, I said This is still $275 right?, he sort of laughed and said Yeah, right.  So, I assumed we'd be at least doubling that.  I should have stopped him at that point and said put it in writing Joe.  My bad, no lie.  I take full responsibility for not pushing the cost issue right there.

Joe cut a 7 foot long whole in the drywall of my garage ceiling, yanked out the insulation and replaced a 12 feet of PVC pipe that had apparently been improperly pitched when the place was built.  After he was done, and while he was working on the invoice, he got a phone call.  The woman caller cried poor as Joe put it, trying to talk him down on the price, but he was unmoved.  Told her if she could find someone else to do it for whatever price she was seeking, she should take it.

Joe handed me a bill for $1,950 and told me he was giving me a deal since he knew I would use him for the sink installation.  I was astounded at the 700% increase in cost, but remained cool.  Throughout the time Joe was working he talked at length about how crucial 5 star Yelp reviews are to his business.   Two grand won't put me out on the street or take food out of my mouth, but others may not be so fortunate.  So, get the cost up front.  He fixed the clog but shafted me on the cost with a big smile on his face the entire time.

Joe gets three stars.  He fixed the clog, which was why he was invited out.  No extra credit for doing what he was hired to do.  Rather than laughing at my joke about the cost, he should have stopped right there and given me a new figure.  That is how an honest man conducts his affairs.

My toilet started leaking and I had my daughter turn it off. I went through Yelp to get a quick response from multiple plumbers. The owner was really nice and came over within 1-2 hours. He did a good job, I recommend him highly.

These guys were fairly priced, great to work with and fast! Jesus answered all my questions! I highly recommend these guys!!

Can't thank Above the Rest Plumbing enough for fixing our emergency plumbing issue. They came out on a Saturday didn't charge me for the visit came back Sunday morning and with in few hours the issue was fixed. They do great work, honest, dependable, and efficient. I can't recommend them enough.

Wonderful service!  We had a loose toilet that had been repaired by another plumbing company some time ago, but the problem happened again.  This time I called Hinsdale Plumbing, based on the Yelp reviews I read. Those reviews were spot on! Matt, Victor's (the owner) son came out that afternoon and surveyed the situation.  He was smart and tenacious, determined to fix the problem, emphasizing service and he did it at a very fair price.  If you're looking for responsible, respectful service, please give them a call.  A great example of a family that works to be proud of their product.

Professional, friendly, quick and fair. The best plumbers in the neighborhood. I only call Glennon when i need plumbing work done.

UNPROFESSIONAL! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! This is one of the worst guest service experiences I have had to date.

I began my phone call (which costs $99 by the way--I found out when the bill was written out for me) by telling the operator I needed an emergency response if it was possible, and notified them I had an appointment in about an hours time. They told me they would check with their plumbers......

10 minutes later I called back because I hadn't heard from them...

After a long game of phone tag and inaccurate time quotes the plumber arrived over an hour from my initial call. My appointment was missed.

The plumber was about to crack my pedestal sink from the wall until I notified him it was unnecessary and helped him to move the base from the wall so he could reach the piping.

He finished and threw his gloves on the ground! The trash can was right next to the sink. He didn't tidy anything up, or attempt to leave things the way he found them.  

He wrote up the bill and it cost $149. This accounts for:
-the service call which never confirmed a plumber was on the way.
-waiting for over an hour on an EMERGENCY CALL.
-missed calls being returned with multiple failed time quotes.
-the missed time commitment they were notified of when they took the call.
-almost damaging my sink because they didn't know how to do their work with a fairly common sink set-up.
-leaving me a mess to clean up.

This happened December 19, 2014. Almost a month later, I started receiving calls at 7 and 8 in the morning asking me for payment. They only then tried to collect on my card...none of my business why they waited so long, but definitely curious.

They apparently attempted several times because a few days later, the activity showed up on my bank statement. I called back to speak with the manager about my experience, and the person on the phone was argumentative and stubborn. He told me he would take the $50 service charge off and I would only be charged the $99 for taking the call. He also told me his manager would call me, but with no time to expect a call. He rudely and abruptly ended the call.

It has been a couple weeks now, and I have left messages asking for them to call me back. Nothing. This company is entirely unprofessional and cowards for ignoring my phone calls.

Called this plumber to rod my sewers.  He was there on time.  He found out that my sewers had never been rodded.  He spent an hour and a half doing the work because of all the roots that had accumulated over 70 years.  He then told me that the circumstances of this job were such that the town of Lombard would pay.  So he charged me nothing.  I also asked about having some other work done.  He explained to me why it was not needed and sure enough he was correct.  I also referred him to a friend.  He did an outstanding job for him too at a great price.  This place and the owner are top notch and I will never call any other plumber.  Strongly recommended!

Pete is a very knowledgeable plumber.  He is straightforward with the scope of the work and pricing and a very fair person to work with.  I appreciate his craftsmanship and use him whenever I have the need for a plumber.

Can't say enough good about this company. Professional from start to finish. They booked me into a time slot that suited my schedule. Gave me an accurate estimate. Showed up on time. Worked quickly and efficiently. Cleaned up. Charged me a fair price. I WILL use them again.
