Best Businesses in Chicago, IL

Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

Like most 50-year-old houses, my parents' home needed some fixing up. I made a punch list and called Kevin. He came out and gave me a very reasonable estimate, and did an excellent job on the home repairs.

Kevin is very knowledgeable. He takes pride in his work and also takes the time to explain different options for approaching a particular job.

I plan to hire Kevin again for some home upgrades. One of my parents' neighbors has since hired him for a woodworking project, and she has been very satisfied as well.

Kevin has become our go-to guy for home repairs and upgrades. I highly recommend him!

Happy New Year ...... and we have no heat on the second floor! I called Armbrust Heating and within the hour Jeff came out to our home, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. We now have heat and I am overjoyed at the care and professionalism shown to us by Jeff. We are life-long Armbrust customers and I can't thank Jeff enough for handling this situation so expertly! I kept apologizing for calling him out on a freezing cold holiday, no less,  and he could not have been  kinder or more gracious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jeff! You are the BEST!!!!

I had a leaking showerhead, meaning that the Moen cartridge in the handle needed to be replaced. I've done it before, but it can be a major project for a novice plumber. InSink provided a reasonable quote which I accepted, I scheduled an appointment, and their plumbers actually showed up a few minutes early on the day I scheduled. Gary and Joey were friendly and professional, completed the job in about an hour, and cleaned up when they were done. I highly recommend.

Loved guy showed up in a mask. He was polite, efficient and prompt. I plan to have him do some work for me after the thanksgiving holiday.

That charge of 425 dollars was a bill for two service calls.  The first call was for a blocked sewage pipe for 125 dollars and took about an hour.  The second charge of 300 dollars was a re-routing of a toilet drain that took close to 3 hours.  I still feel that my charge of 325 dollars was too high to replace a shut off valve that took just over one hour.

These guys are so great! We've had them do work twice at our home. They took all of the necessary precautions due to COVID. They are timely, reliable, and get the job done well. Couldn't ask for more!

The whole team was professional and friendly. They listened to my problems in detail and helped explain some old-house oddities. Quality work and great service, will be having them quote a large project. My new go-to neighborhood plumber!

This guys are really wonderful! Very friendly and honest. Very very reasonable prices. All of them are actual plumbers. Not 20 year apprentices.

Excellent service!  Came on time and reasonable pricing.  I'm new to area, Crestwood, IL, so Yelp helped me to find these plumbers and they came through.  Highly recommended.

We recently used this company and were extremely impressed. They were very efficient and knowledgeable. We quoted them and another company and were very happy we went with this company. Not only were they cheaper, but more professional as well. They fixed our problem quickly. We would use them again if we had another problem; no questions asked.

So I waited 48 hours after leaving my first voicemail for them.  Still no reply call.  I called back after 48 hours and got another machine.  Still have a backed up drain, guess since it was not an emergency my call back was not a priority.  Don't think they won my business.  Can I give less than 1 star because they didn't even get a chance to perform any service?

There was a sewer gas smell that filled the house every time water was run for any length of time. Walsh & Son responded quickly and set up a very convenient day and time to repair the cracked sewer pipe.
They arrived on time and got to work immediately. They took care of digging the hole in my basement, replacing the pipe, filling the hole, cementing the floor, and cleaning up the area within a few short hours. I LOVE not having to deal with the sewer smell anymore.
I wouldn't hesitate to call them in the future or refer them to anyone who needs sewer experts.

George is extremely knowledgeable and is the reason Harlem Supply exists. George was never let go, he owned the business, sold it and stayed on to help teach the new owner the business.  It is very hard to help people, when they can't clearly tell you what is wrong.  It is because George's help is still needed that he came back.  The business was set up to serve plumbers primarily, but they are always willing to try and help non-plumbers.  I would give them 5 stars, but they just can't always have everything you need in stock, nor can they have all the personnel needed to immediately wait on every customers - no one can.

He was responsive but was going back and forth with the numbers. We didn't have a good experience with this business. We paid for the service to show up but didn't use him for further repair. I would highly suggest to go with other plumber.

We used Thiesse Plumbing one time, which was enough for us.  We had a flooding toliet back in May 2012 and they were referred to us by our relator, so we called them right away.  The sent someone out the following day, so their responsiveness was good.  However, the issues came into play when they didn't bring the necessary equipment to fix the issue, blamed us for it and required a return visit ($$$).

When our plumber indicated the tool he needed to complete the job wasn't available  I called the office to better understand the situation.  The woman on other end was condescending, patronizing and rude.  She blamed me (customer) for not explaining the plumbing problem correctly, questioned my knowledge of plumbing (which admittedly I have none, or I'd be completing the job myself:), and made an excuse as to why their equipment to complete the job wasn't available (in the shop).    Our perspective was that if a vendor comes unprepared to fix a problem, the customer shouldn't necessarily be charged for that mistake.  She once again blamed me for not explaining the problem (flooding toliet) correctly.    Both my husband and I had spoken to the office regarding the problem--which was pretty straightforward.

A four- hour plumbing job (which didn't need to last that long--entirely other story) ended up costing us nearly $600.   This happened over a year ago and at the time I was angry.   I wish I had written then, as I'd have remembered more of the specifics.  However, I recall enough to know I will never use them and never recommend them to anyone.  The customer experience is essential, allowing a customer to feel good about their interaction and experience with a company.....I can tell you this customer experience left a lasting and very negative impression.   I called my relator to convey these sentiments and she indicated she would no longer recommend, either.  She also noted that they had recently changed management?     Perhaps that's the reason for the decline in service?  Hard to know, but buyer beware.

My family has a couple of old brick buildings , we been doing business with South Chicago  Plumbing , since 1976. Great knowledge, very friendly, and most of all a great inventory of parts and supply for older buildings . They have the parts and supply that you cannot find any where around Chicago.  They recommend other shops if they don't have the parts. Now that's true business !!!
