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.

I needed to have blinds that I bought online put up.  He did an amazing job.  I saved over $600-900 over quotes from blind makers.  What a racket!

Thanks Alan for your quick assessment of our plumbing issue.  And then staying a bit longer to fix an additional issue.  Your expertise and service had me smiling the rest of the day!

LOL, I go to the InSink yelp page to do a review and I see the picture of the snowy yard being excavated and did a double-take.  Hey, that's my yard!

We had some recurring problems with the sewer line getting blocked, and the outfit we were using back then (won't name them but it rhymes with Roto-Scooter) claimed we needed $10K+ worth of work to replace a supposedly broken pipe.  I brought in InSink to get a second opinion because I thought I was getting scammed, and it looks like I was.   InSink cleared the problem, and we had them install an outside cleanout, which is the snowy digging going on in the photo .   They were great.

I contacted Adam Hadib with A1-Services.  He answered his phone, no voicemail. He asked for photos of the work we needed done, then he sent me back his reasonable quote.

He was able to come out the next day to install our shower door. (He was booked up all week after Sunday).

He did a wonderful job! He was very personable; kind;considerate, & honest.

We will definitely call him again if needed.

Call Adam first before you call anyone else !

I have nothing but good things to say about the guys at Welter. They came out right away and diagnosed the problem. Even though they were unable to do all the work on the spot, they did do a temporary fix for me and set the appointment to come back. Another company was suggesting a very expensive solution, but Welter told me it was not necessary saving me thousands of dollars.

I have used these guys for years and they are terrific! They helped with the work associated with our addition several years ago and then we have used them for a variety of plumbing needs since.

They are very knowledgeable, fair, and they get the job done in the time they say they will. I absolutely trust the work they do.

I discovered a water leak in my basement ceiling. I found Central Plumbing on Yelp and Angies List, and gave them a call. Chris came out, found the leak and made the repair. Chris is friendly and professional. He works quickly and cleans up after he is done.
I was so impressed that I asked him about replacing my water heater.
He got me a quote and i told him to go ahead with the job for tomorrow.
He came out when he said he would and with an assistant took out the old water heater and put in the new one.
It went well and again he was very professional and friendly.
I would recommend Central Plumbing to anyone!! They were great!!

They did a great job and went above and beyond when completing my drain repair. They finished in the contracted time, were extremely professional and friendly. I am very pleased with the job and will be calling them for any other plumbing needs I have in the future.

Very fair, honest, and quick to respond.  Initial verbal quote over the phone was also very accurate.  Highly recommend these folks.

All Affordable Plumbing was All Good, they were on time, proficient in their work, reasonably priced. After the job was completed they explained the warranty and cleaned the work area up so well you would never know they were there. Highly recommended.

Not sure about the other negative reviews. These guys were quick, professional, charged me about 30% less than their competitor I used in the past. They even told me I probably didn't need to root my sewer as often since it was real clear. Didn't seem like they were trying to rip me off, why would they tell me that otherwise?

They answered the phone upon the first phone call. They came out the same day. They fixed the problem the same day. They were polite, courteous and informative. Their prices were very reasonable.

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.

I am very thankful and grateful to Vilano plumbing, we had a situation where another contractor started the work and could not pass the city inspection, Vilano was highly recommended to me by a friend, so he came out and explained what was wrong, very knowledgeable, better than the inspector, he had to redo almost entire job but we passed inspection on the first time the inspector came back.
I highly recommend Eugen and his crew from Vilano Plumbing

We hired Thiesse to remedy a problem in our basement that was being caused by the city sewers backing up during heavy storms. They recommended installing an ejector pit, into which all the basement piping (floor drain, laundry tub, etc.) would be plumbed. This in turn would eliminate the open drains that the city sewer was backing up into.

After they did the work, we noticed backups in the main stack & immediately notified the company of the problem. They came out again & spent a couple hours rodding the sewer line immediately outside the area they'd worked on days earlier, then told us they couldn't find anything wrong but we should break open the main sewer outside the house, as it was likely blocked or collapsed. (Huh?) We declined this, since we had never had a problem with it prior to the work they did in the basement. We paid almost $500 for this rodding & diagnosis, by the way - this was in addition to the money we paid to have the ejector pit installed.

About a week later, I went into the basement & noticed another backup around the floor drain & water again leaking out of the joints in the main stack a few feet above the floor. This led me to believe the blockage was inside the house. My wife called Thiesse & asked they come out yet again to fix the problem.

When they arrived, they brought their sewer foreman with them - someone who had never seen the house or the work previously done. He proceeded to try to rod the line inside the house, but kept hitting an obstruction beneath the floor. He broke the floor open (this after we had already had it patched after their previous efforts) & determined the plumbers who'd installed the ejector pit had inadvertently filled the main line leading outside with hydraulic cement. His words were looks like we caused the problem.

They returned the next day & removed the clogged pipe, breaking out even more of the concrete floor in the process. Sewage finally flowed again, but Thiesse had the audacity to send us another bill for fixing the problem they had created! We told them in no uncertain terms we would not be paying the bill & they became very hostile, claiming WE had somehow caused the problem.

Our experience was among the worst I've ever had with a company & I would never, under any circumstances, recommend them. 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 !!!
