Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Contacted via yelp and got a response in minutes. We had a plumber out within 2 hours of the contact on a Saturday morning! Very professional with a. Free estimate and work was completed at a  reasonable cost! Will definitely contact again if the services are needed!

We recently had a plumbing disaster right before a major family infestation was about to invade our house.  Shannon and crew, despite dealing with their own substantial work load, were able to juggle everything and get the work done just in the nick of time, and UNDER BUDGET!!!  I really can't thank these guys enough for giving us our family Easter back!  Would recommend performance pro to anyone.

I think this is my third review of Paul.  We started using his services a few years ago, and have been using and recommending him ever since.  This time he replaced our aging 50 gallon water tank with a new hi-efficiency model.  He also repositioned the gas line leading to our fireplace.  In both cases the prior installation had been done very poorly. Now it is beautiful.  

Here's a typical Paul story.  The day before he was scheduled to do the install of our new water tank, our daughter called in a panic as she had water all over her basement and didn't know who to call. I texted Paul and he immediately got back to me. He was just finishing up a job but said he'd stop by to at least check it out. In the time I expected him to be calling me back to ask for the address again (which he never does because he always gets it right), he called me to let me know he'd finished. He figured out that the water in the discharge hose outside had frozen and blocked the water which caused the motor to burn out. He replaced the sump, fixed the pipe and repositioned some other piping which had been misaligned. He didn't charge for the extras. That made us even happier customers.

Reasons to use Paul:
1. Quality work - the guy is a real pro. He knows what he's doing.  Works quickly and efficiently.  Doesn't hang around to tell you long stories.  He's always got another job waiting.
2. Quick responses.  Most everything is by text at first, and that's good.  He's always been great about getting back to us asap.  He may not be able to come that minute, but he will give you an honest and concise response.
3. Fair pricing.  He has been here 7 times and not once did I feel that he had overcharged.  He is good about explaining what something will cost and giving you alternatives.
4. Nice guy.  Friendly. Hard working. Honest. Responsive.  We continue to highly recommend Paul the (most excellent) Plumber.

I have used Forte for several issues at my house and they never disappoint.  Everything is installed as promised, on schedule, and for very reasonable rates.  They plumbed our kitchen, fix a drain issue, and fixed our boozie valve that I had given up hope on long ago.  We have had several plumbers, as well as Carmen and Robert, and no matter who we get they know their stuff.  I will be happy to recommend them to all of my family and friends and know that they are in great hands.

Rick and Sam came out yesterday, and with ease fixed two major issues I was having for a fraction of the price a prominent competitor had quoted me! They were awesome, quick, explained everything well, did only what they needed to do and no more, and they gave me great advice to prevent future issues too! I highly recommend, they won a customer for life.

One of the first people to respond to me when we realized our basement was beginning to flood... despite having a system that worked, we felt that replacing the 20 year old system full of little issues would be the smart thing to do.

Dominick was friendly, professional, informative, and communicative. We are happy with how everything looks, the quality of the products installed, and having peace of mind knowing that it was done right this time.

I must say that after I submitted my project request in Yelp, Peter contacted me within 15 minutes and scheduled same day plumbing work with me.  1-1/2 hours later, he said he can stop by now if I like, of which I said of course.  Very personable, reliable and easy to talk.  After he finished installing my faucet and garbage disposal unit, he showed me how to use them.  You think it's easy to understand how they work but with so many new innovations going on in this world, he wanted to make sure I understand how they work.

I highly recommend him for your plumbing needs and I will be using him next Spring to install my tankless water heater.

Thanks Peter!

Positive experience, was able to call Ray during an emergency at 11pm (I live in Mokena) he came right out fixed the problem. Very nice and didn't charge a fortune. Will  definitely  use again.

We had a sudden leak in our kitchen ceiling as our heating is on the second floor so I jumped on Yelp and saw all the great reviews. I called and was told the techs were booked until Monday but they'd put a call out to see if anyone's available. Luckily there was a tech right around the block and was at our house within minutes.

Jay came in and was able to locate the problem immediately. He gave us the cost upfront and was able to make the repair within hours. What started out as a nightmare was easily resolved. We're extremely happy with the knowledge that was provided which assured us that we weren't getting ripped off and had chosen a great company. We will be using them going forward with any HVAC or plumbing issues that arise in the future.

Here's what you need to know: outstanding service by Anna and Austin. Needed a toilet unclogged in a condo and the service was prompt and efficient. I was charged $165 for the job, which is reasonable given the market pricing.

The courtesy demonstrated by Anna in setting up the appointment and by Austin in delivering the service was just fantastic. Austin called before he arrived and there were multiple text message with status updates to keep me posted. Payment was never rushed and done after the fact - at my convenience - via credit card.

I'll definitely be using them in the future and have them do a full plumbing inspections of any home/investment property I buy in the future.

Well done DPS team. You have my patronage in the future...

I'v used MD plumbing at my home and a two flat that I own. They are very reliable and know thier business. I just had Greg and Rick put a new wax ring on the toilet in my home. They were very professional and personable.  I highly recommend them.

Nick was unbelievable! He was called to help a neighbor across the street from us. That's when we realized that we also had a plumbing issue. Walked across the street to ask for help. Nick was very helpful. Came across the street when he was done with our neighbor. Couldn't of been more helpful. Knocked out the issue and was on his way. Highly recommend this company. Thanks Nick!

Extremely nice, professional, punctual, and did a great job. I highly recommend his services!

They were great! I had a gas leak and needed a plumber to fix right away to turn my gas back on. They even gave me an estimate and fixed my pipes in 1 morning. The work was great quality as well.

Needed someone to install a new kitchen sink, faucet, and garbage disposal. Mikey was very professional and knowledgeable. You can tell he pays attention to detail and wants the customer to be happy with his work! Extremely satisfied how it turned out.  Highly recommend.

We live in an older home built in the forties. There are few people familiar with some of the older homes in Hinsdale and the piping. We reached out to Soltwich and they were responsive, affordable and helpful. We definitely recommend their services.

Since the original ordeal, I'm thrilled to report that management received word of what happened, reached out, we were able to come to an agreement and the situation had since been rectified.

Thanks!

Poor parts, poor workmanship and high cost.  One-star review is fitting.

Where to even begin.....

We hired Tim Shey, the owner, to do some plumbing work. Initially he came off as being a normal tradesmen... His bedside manor was a little abrasive but not so bad that I didn't think to not use him.

Well, I wish I would have cut ties the moment I picked up on that abrasiveness b/c my experience with him turned out to be an absolute nightmare. My experience with him was absolutely abusive and for no reason. For a long time i asked myself what I did to deserve him being so rude and disrespectful and then I finally realized that I did nothing at all to deserve the treatment bestowed upon us.

On top of the abuse, here I am, months later and i've had issue after issue with the plumbing. Very basic things were missed. Most recently, we had to hire a plumber to come out to fix one of the toilets he installed. Lord knows how long it's been leaking but I happed to notice one day that water was leaking out the back every time the toilet was flushed. It turns out that he didn't install it correctly as the top wasn't tighten to the base. The damage this has caused ....... I wonder if he did it purposely? I really do.... We also have had issues with every faucet he installed. Every single one had to be reinstalled. Additionally, one of the shower heads was leaking . That was another plumber visit. I keep going on and on with the issues but I'm sure you get the point.

This was not my personal experience but I spoke to another person who hired him who needed an additional week to pay him for his services and instead of waiting, he went to her home, pushed himself through her door and ripped out all of her plumbing so that she couldn't access any water! Who does that!

Please note that this was my personal experience with Tim. I'll never understand why I didn't just ask him to leave my condo the minute he was disrespectful.
