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!

Top shelf response and workmanship. Price was right in line with what I expected.

We had a new garbage disposal installed in October of 2016, and InSink did a great job.  However the other day it fell off.   We called them since they installed it and they charged us $200 to put it back on.    I was stunned and reminded him that they installed it and all he said was that it was last October.   (10 months).  He was probably here 15 minutes.  I could not believe they charged us for something that was probably not installed correctly.   Even the guy himself said these things don't normally happen.  Unfortunately for me I am too timid to speak up.   So while they did what I thought was a good job initially, I'm not happy that they charged so much for 15 minutes work.  I hardly use it.   Not like I put watermelon rinds down into it either.

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.

Welter has been unfailingly professional, whether they're fixing a drain or helping with the continued fallout from shoddy work by others on the basement plumbing. They're knowledgeable and respectful of the home every time they stop by.

After an experience with self-styled sump pump repairmen who belong in small claims court, dealing with Welter has been a tremendous relief. I haven't found them to be condescending, rude or pushy at all.

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.

Central Plumbing guys were great!  I called on Monday morning (Columbus Day) and they were at my house by 11am. They used their camera to check our storm water drains, saw the blockage and rodded out massive amounts of roots. SO much better than the other company I had out in November to install (badly and at an angle) a clean out pipe and rod. They were polite, friendly and a explained everything very clearly. Sumps are now sending water to the ditch again instead of recycling in the pit. I am much relieved. Highly recommended.

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

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

They were able to set my toilet the same day I called, which was awesome. And he did a good job, explained the problem, answered questions, executed the job quickly. The price seems high to set a toilet, but based on other reviews, I went with them since they were so convenient and I'm hoping that's the going rate. Kind of wish they wore shoe covers inside since it was rainy outside, but it is what it is.

Major downside is they had to write down my card information, and that makes me really uncomfortable. I saw this in a previous review, but I figured that if the system was just down that day, the chances I would have that issue would be low. Guess not.

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

We always call them. They are very professional. They're reasonably priced and they always get the job done well. And they have no mess behind. Highly recommend

I don't like bog box stores. Roaming the aisles for hours trying to find the one employee that is both present and in possession of a brain. I like finding the good supply houses and dealing with them. My last job was a replacement of an ejector pump at my dad's house. Not a rosey job by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the sort of thing that is nice when you get it done. When I walked into Harlem Plumbing I made it clear. I don't want lousy china crap that breaks in three days. The folks behind the counter knew precisely what I was talking about. They did a fantastic job. I had my list, I knew what I needed, I knew the calculations, head loss, applicable codes....but they were ready to help and had some great advice and stories. In modern times, the word expert is now exclusively used to describe talking idiots on TV, I must say that the folks at harlem plumbing are master tradesmen (and women?). They also have a good throughflow of top notch local plumbers. There was nothing intimidating or condescending about the interaction. the folks were prompt, professional, friendly. Where the smart one at the big box store watches a 30 minute youtube video as training, these folks had been in the trade all of their lives. I left absolutely certain that I had the right stuff and the job would be done right. I can't say that for the happy, shiny, lucky, golden store brands at the big box stores. That experience is more along the lines of god, I hope this crap works. Harlem Plumbing is a solid local supply house with great people. I can't say it enough. Rock on Harlem Plumbing! Please don't stop or sell out to the corporate pukes. The service you provide is much needed and appreciated.

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've used Thiesse Plumbing a few times now for some minor repairs and issues around the house.  They have always been courteous and knowledgeable during service calls.  They also seem honest.  We have been happy with their work and would use them again if needed.

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 !!!
