Best Businesses in Illinois

We are very happy with Southtown Plumbing. They arrived in good time and did not keep us waiting. They were extremely knowledgeable about the local area and what types of things might be going on with our plumbing based on how the houses in our area were built. They worked well with my husband and listened to his assessment of what was going on and where he thought our lines were clogged instead of dismissing him and making up their own mind about what the issue was. The clog was quickly fixed and everything is running smoothly. They were very down to earth. Great work!

Woke up to frozen pipes called B&A plumbing. They have been here for 3 hours and nothing. Now they wanna tell me it's going to be $600.00 for their time. When more than half was spent on them trying to get their machine to work! Feeling very frustrated!!! Do not use this company they did nothing but take my money.

Joe was out today to tackle some things at our condo (newer construction).
In short, I stand by my review below!  Still the same excellent dude.
Also responds promptly through his answering service, and it's never a big scheduling issue to get him out.
NOTE: he doesn't want to do big remodeling jobs.  If you're just switching stuff out, or have repairs, he's your guy.  But check with him, you know?
PS: I ordered stuff from Algor plumbing in Cicero.  I get the discount since I'm working with a plumber & you can tell Pekny has serious cred at this place.

Excellent honest very fair priced old school plumber. He worked hard for four hours straight and the bill was 40 % less than the big company quotes plus when the job ran longer than expected because of the common snafus he stayed until 9pm to get it finished and cleaned up everything. Also has an easy going friendly personality. I couldn't be more pleased and am shocked he doesn't have many more reviews.

Had received a quote from another plumber for my cabin in Three Oaks.  Thought it was somehwat high so decided to get a second quote before proceeding...so glad I did!  Not only was Goodman lower but my experience from initial call to on-site completion was top-notch on all.  Nick (owner) took time to explain the issues and even though they ran into an unexpected on-site issue (I actually had a 120v water heater versus a 220v), he was able to pivot immediately and get a new unit in and install it the very next morning in time for guests arriving following day.   Could not recommend this company enough - just an honest, efficient, professional small business that always make sure they have a happy and satisifed customer whatever it takes.  Thanks to Goodman team and will be recommending you to all the other owners at Lakeside Cabins!

Great service. He came when he said he would. Fixed what was needed in the most economical way. The repair ended up being less that what we first discussed. Not to mention he was genuinely nice. I will definitely call him again with any future plumbing needs.

We needed help with removing our toilet and replacing the wax ring, but we didn't have the tool to cut a rusty screw. They were quick to respond to my initial call and flexible with coming later the following day when my husband was home from work. They arrived on time and were done very quickly, at an affordable price. Both men were polite, friendly, and social. We will definitely be saving their number for future needs!

We hired Gus to add on to and stain our old outdoor playground which turned out great! He really worked with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. It looks like new again and now our son has a clubhouse! He stained our fence and did some work under our deck. Reasonable prices, very friendly and communicated to us when he was available and would come over to work. Would hire again and share his name with friends! Thanks Gus!

Very Professional and Friendly. Competitive prices. I called Cesar that day and he came out right away.

My father was a loyal customer of Glenbrook Plumbing for years. After he passed away, I was surprised by the expense of the invoices in his files, as well as a recent repair in one of his rental properties.

The tenant, who grew more comfortable with me, confided in me that the Glenbrook Plumbing representative tried to 'oversell' him on needless services:

What do you care?  You're not paying for it.

They took advantage of my father, a kind-hearted retired college professor, for a decade.

This is extremely disturbing on a number of levels and I am starting here, by letting folks know.  Going to take this up with the BBB and look into legal options, as well.

I manage a portfolio of properties all over Chicagoland and Jason has been our go to plumber for all our plumbing. He charges a fair price, and is always available for questions. In the last 3-4 years I've probably had him work on 40-50 homes, and have always been pleased. I've recommended him to family, and other property owners(investors), and they've always been pleased.

Wow, these guys are amazing. My blower motor went out and the forecast is calling for sub zero temperatures. I have an unusual model furnace and two others firms said they had to order it. Meaning I'd be without heat for three days. King had to order it too, but went out of their way to drive and pick it up. The owner came to my house and installed it same day! Unbelievable. Not only that they were cheaper! Great firm. Great people. Saved my rear end.

Do Not Hire this person!!!
We recently hired him for a small shower renovation. We paid him $4k and he never finished the job. We had 3 separate plumbers check his work and All of them said it was incorrect. We ended up paying someone else to finish the job correctly. He ghosted us and never responded to us after he took our money. HORRIBLE! Please Do Not Hire Him!!!

Now looking at these two other reviews, I feel I should comment because after all the total experience is what matters. I called for an elderly neighbor who needed a new toilet. We purchased a toilet at home depot, then got what seemed like a reasonable quote from them. I was not able to be there, but got a call from them saying that the toilet was installed but that the flow going into the bowl was very low definitely sub par. They offered to take this new toilet out and replace it with one from their warehouse the next day. Hmm I thought, ( I was feeling pressured to decide for this elderly lady, and time is money as he kept repeating) so I decided no and asked them to take the brand new toilet out, and that we'd return it to Home Depot and start again. I got a call 15 minutes later saying problem was resolved that there was a rag stuck inside the brand new toilet. Hmm...
What do you folks think? Scam or honest mistake?
Wouldn't a seasoned plumber check inside the bowl before installing, or the Home Depot return people check before restocking it. that's IF the toilet had been previously purchased unbeknownst to us?
Too many if, buts, or maybes I think.
Just keep all your senses alert, if you still choose to use them.
Price was competitive, I'll say that.
