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.

Best All Around Fix-it Guy!

I called Kevin because paint was falling off the ceiling in my bathroom....he knew exactly what I was talking about and said it was no problem to fix!  He came out on a Monday and with all the tools and paint ready to get the job done!  A few hours later my bathroom looked like brand new!  He had his own vacuum and sucked up every bit of dust...he also wiped everything down with Windex!  My bathroom looked cleaner then before he did the work!!!!  I felt so comfortable with him in my home....I was able to leave and run errands without thinking twice about it!  He told me the price up front, was honest and I trusted him fully!  I just can't get over how clean and neat he was!  He is a young, smart and respectable man!  He even gave me tips on how to fix little things around my house myself!  I will defiantly be using Kevin again and will call him for referrals for everything...if he can't do it...he has a friend who can!  Thank you Kevin for fixing the huge eyesore that was causing me so much grief!

got an appointment for the following day, for my leaky bathtub faucet. fixed quickly and efficiently by tom. and he's such a nice man. i will certainly request him in the future.

I moved into my home in the area about 18 months ago.  I called InSink on two occasions since they had done work for the prior owner.   This father and son team are phenomenal!  In a business where it is hard to find responsive service people, these guys have it down!   Most recently, Gary, the son, came over to check on a problem with the alarm on my sump pump.   First of all, in both situations, they responded to my call within 24 hours - win #1! Then, they were able to do the work SAME DAY - win #2!!   Then, today, the son Gary explains all of the workings of the sump pump back up system to me, while replacing a part that he found to be just outside of the warranty....without an extra charge - win#3!!   Then, to really cap things off....Gary mentions that he would follow-up to give me the name of someone to help with an old boiler heating system that I have here.....totally outside of his business!!   omg, this team really gets it!!!   So, now they have a customer for life.    I highly recommend them.....the costs seem reasonable, and when you factor in the customer service delivery ....they are they best in the area!

We had an emergency service call the day after Thanksgiving and Adam came out after three other prior service calls late at night.  He was very personable and helpful, answering all our questions and educating us at the same time.  Our immediate issue is resolved but if we need further guidance, we will reach out to him again.

Outstanding plumbing service. They got my leaky shower head done in ten-minutes. Very respectful of a woman client as well which I appreciated. This is a top notch, honest company. Will definitely use them again for any other repairs.

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!

Excellent and professional service from start to finish!  I highly recommend this plumbing company.  I received a very prompt return call at the start and sound advice/recommendations over the phone.  Thank you Tom!  On the scheduled date, the plumber arrived perfectly on time.  Go Chris!  He was courteous, efficient, professional and clean! I am so pleased with this company, especially after having had a negative experience in the past with a different company.  I had a new food disposal and shower head installed, a toilet repaired and a few other odds and ends. I echo the sentiments of the other reviewers - these are your go to guys for excellent service at fair prices!  Thank you Central Plumbing!

Stellar organization.  They are efficient, courteous, and reasonably priced.  

The crew and owner typify what it means to work with and within the community.  They are attentive to needs and respectful of client anxiety.

What can I say, The fine folks at Simon have been my go to for any an all plumbing related issues for years.

From installing a cleanout and rodding that main line annually, to installing new fixtures both inside and out, to the most recent service, cleaning out a drain for my washing machine, I've always been satisfied.

Ill look forward to having them respond promptly, efficiently and with reasonable pricing after a full explanation of the service required.

The father, and Todd and Josh, also the young lady who does customer service, and especially Wayne, the drain fixer extraordinaire, have us as  customers for life.

Great work folks.

Juan did great and would recommend. Needed removal of current two handel faucet.  Hole punched in stainless steel sink for center mount goose neck faucet replacement.  Replacement of shut of valves. Sink is in very tight space.

I've had Pat(owner) and Mike do work for me many times.  Recently we suspected a broken sewer line in a basement.  They brought the camera in and spent a half hr showing what caused the problem.  We set up a date. During the work the brought me down stairs to show what happen during each stage.  These guys take pride in doing a good job and are skilled and professional. I think they really like doing their work.  When my wife asked Mike why they didn't have a color sewer camera? Mike replied that he didn't need to distinguish peas from carrots  I paid a fair price.  Twice in past they helped me solve small problems at no charge

in the past, I'm pretty sure I've had the worst plumbers in the Chicago area, and now I'm so glad I've found the best with Walsh & Son.  In the past couple of years, John has come to my house three times: this week for a damaged outside hose faucet and pipe; another time for toilet problems, etc.  He has always been professional, knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and neat . . . and his price is more than fair. In short, he is everything you hope a plumber to be.  I rarely write reviews:  only for the very best, and the worst.  If you call Walsh & Son, you're getting the very best!

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 !!!
