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.

AMAZING SERVICE!! I had several jobs and Kevin and the team did an incredible job in taking care of them all! Very fair pricing, timely response, and expertise in a myriad of services! They will for sure be my first call for our next home project!!

I recently found myself in need of a plumbing repair in a commercial setting.  To be honest, I had called a couple of different companies out to look at what we had determined to be a slow leak from a joint in a hot water pipe.  We ultimately decided on Armbrust Plumbing and Heating Solutions for the repair.  The day the repair was scheduled, the Plumbing Techician, Tom Heyman, showed up earlier (amazing) and explained what he was going to do.  I was concerned that this was a two man job, but he was alone.  It didn't take long for me to be set at easy that he was skilled, willing and able to work on his own.  He ran into a small glitch during the repair, but faced the extra challenge calm and quickly got it under control.  The repair was completed ahead of the time frame that I had anticipated.  While the water supply affected many others in the building this was a big plus for us.  I have worked in this building for 11 years and haven't been in a situation where I needed to have the water shut off to do a repair, so to work with someone as confident and knowledgeable as Tom Heyman was a relieve (Thanks).  I would suggest Armbrust for your plumbing needs; we had a big job that required the whole system to be drained and the water to be shut off for hours, but the job was completed to my satisfaction!

So the pilot light went out on my hot water heater.
It's happened before and I was able to start it after trying a number of times.
This time I could see that there was no flash to light the burner.
Otherwise, the tank looks great and had no other problems that I know about.
I knew that this water heater could be repaired, which is why I had problems finding a plumber to fix it.
I have learned that many plumbing contractors really don't want to repair your water heater even though they advertise that they do.
I had several plumbers out to see the water heater and both told me, without even touching the water heater, that
a.   the unit was over 8 years old; and
b.   it could not be repairs; or
b.   the gas valve was broken and repairs would be between $ 500 and $ 600.
Also, I thought the unit was younger, but I never looked it up as I believed what I was told.
Bottom line, I believe many plumbers really don't want to do small jobs but would rather sell you a new unit.
Then, I call InSink Plumbers out of Carol Stream, Illinois,
owned by Sr. and Junior, the son, who came to my house.
Here's what he told me:
a.    Yes I like to make repairs to water heaters.
b.    No your hot water heater is under six years old.
c.    Yes the warranty for parts expires in November of 2018.
d.    No the gas valve is not broken.
e.    Yes the water heater looks good and could/should last for several more years; and
f.     No you don't need a new water heater because I can repair it right now.
30 minutes later he gets it started and charged me 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of a new unit.
InSink, remember that name.  Old school honest plumbers.

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!

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!

Pittman Plumbing is excellent.  The entire team (Don, Ernest, Liddell, and the younger son) far exceeded my expectations. There are many adjectives that describe this company-- professional, caring, attentive, and focused. They had to remove old pipe, troubleshoot, and install new piping for my home.  They were efficient, reliable, and most importantly, they finished the job when they said they would (unlike most contractors).  They are my plumbers for life!! Nicely done.

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

We hired these plumbers to do a whole house re- piping. If you need that job done, call these people.  They are a job-done option: they will pull down walls, replace plumbing,  and put the walls back up. (huge because getting contracters to put up drywall after the fact would be difficult).

It was a big job and they made it very easy. We got multiple estimates and the price was fair. The owner has a straightforward, serious, honest manner, the type you would trust to babysit your kids. We were very comfortable spending money with this company and are happy with the results.

These people suck. The guy brought his son out with him, who is learning I assume, and didn't even know how to open my door to get downstairs back to the car for tools...  

We're at my house and tried to charge me double saying there were two technicians or plumbers working on the job which took them a total of 10 minutes.  

Wrote me up a bill for $300 and had the nerve to call me cheap when I questioned him why it was so much   I wouldn't do it for $20 if that's what you're trying to do The Man~Let said.  Told him to get out of my house and I would never do business with him again since I'm not even allowed to question what the bill was and how he was charging me.  Mind you I had cash in hand no problem,  but if you think you're gonna be rude to me in my own home and double charge me for your retarded son who doesn't even know what he's doing you can see the door.  Do NOT USE THEM!

We have used Walsh and Son Sewer for a number of issues and have never been disappointed.  They are  punctual, clean and professional.  I've never had to call back for additional service on an issue.  I would use them again and again.

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

The absolute worst. I would choose for my home to become an actual swimming pool due to an unfixed leak than use this company. There are truly no words to describe how horrendous this company is. Just. Don't.

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 !!!
