Best Businesses in Illinois

Geoff was awesome! Remely professional, efficient, and very considerate and helpful. He kept on his mask, put on covers for his shoes, moved quickly and explained everything to me on a basic level. He did everything efficiently and they have reasonable rates. They came promptly after my service call was made yesterday and work with me to get this done quickly.

I have used Apex for big projects as well as for small projects and I highly recommend this company. He also has a great demeanor and spent a few moments to talk to my toddler who kept asking him questions! Ask for Geoff!

Solid company and solid techs!

I needed some work done on some shutoff valves and a broken hose faucet on the side of my house. George did a great job of replacing everything that needed to be done and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use Vanguard in the future for any plumbing work. Great job guys!

Victor was the only plumber I contacted who could see me the same day. He assessed and fixed the problem quickly at a very reasonable price. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing and I feel confident the fix will hold. He was professional, polite, and friendly. I won't hesitate to call him for my next plumbing problem.

We called another handyman site, punch list, and were told that it would take four days for someone to arrive just to give us an estimate and then we would have to wait longer for someone to do the repair.  We set the appointment for the estimate, but grew impatient.  The following day we called Fixer and they scheduled something for that afternoon.  They had to cancel because their previous job ran longer than expected and rescheduled for 9am.  The next morning, they arrived 15 minutes late, not a problem.  They gave us a quick estimate for the work and got started right away.  Our job was pretty big and it ran long as well, but they stayed and finished the work.  I am really happy we called them.  Our job was completed two days prior to the appointment for the other site's estimate.  Bottom line, these folks are fast and they stay until the work is done.  If they push back your appointment, it is because they are treating their current job with the care and attention that it deserves.  Even with the delay, they were 3 to 5 days faster than their competitor.  I will call them again for my next project.  Oh... and they were priced fairly too. Delightful.

If you have a serious plumbing issue go directly to a professional and skip Drain Works. Erik is a nice enough guy but his niceness could not overcome his lack of knowledge. Diagnosing my issue took him all day and he mentioned several times he'd rather be with his family instead out in the cold and I was out almost $1000 in the end (for his time!!!)with NO FIX!!. When I got a second opinion that company diagnosed and came up with a plan within 45 minutes without me telling them what the first opinion was. If you have a simple issue you might be fine as long as the older gentleman is with him. Otherwise BEWARE.
EDIT 3/10/22: Hi Karla thanks for your reply. You were not there so let me offer some clarification to what you're putting out to the public. The offer to put half my bill ($500) was toward a whopping $5000 of additional work. I did not trust Erik to do ANY more work on my house because each step that he took came with more and more costs. He started at $350 and we ended at $1000. He was too nervous about putting his very expensive camera down my basement toilet so he put it in my second floor toilet which of course came with an additional charge. Why more money to do the same thing? Then, when that did not work even though he told my boyfriend that he was certain it would work he decided to put it down my catch basin for another charge. Again, why more money on top of money to do the same thing? In the end when he was about to leave with no fix and my boyfriend and I were very upset he offered to put the $500 toward the $5000 estimated charges for pursing additional work. No way, no thank you. The professional plumber that came after Erik put the camera in the right place the first time without additional charges and it was fixed with no issues or comments that if his camera broke in my basement toilet I would be on the hook for it. I feel as though Erik should be contacting me with a $500 refund. Just want the public to be aware that serious plumbing issues should be looked at by someone with more experience. Thank you, Ericka.

Wonderful to have Bert to come out so quickly!!! Took a little time to solve the problem. Thank you so much!

I won't comment on the cost as I think most places are at least somewhat over priced. I will say that the job was done expertly and in a timely fashion.

I started off telling them I needed a drawing to go with their work so I could move forward with my project.  promised not provided! next I agee with others on here overpriced and confusing quotes.  Poor service I paid to have someone trained.  They constantly talked about their little gun collections also. In a word unprofessional.   Just to echo again poor work and really listen to others call around you will save at least 1k - 2k.  Still dont have the drawing and the shower valve is still a mess and leaks.

We have a 1930s house with 1930s plumbing and our bathtub wasn't draining properly. The problem was that the previous owners of the house hadn't bothered to maintain the pipes in so long, the trap had rusted itself shut. Jose did a fantastic job in fixing the issue. He was also great about answering any question I had. Their prices are fair and I greatly appreciate that they list out everything that comes with that pricing. I will definitely be using them again for anything that comes up.

They were responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to do business with

Have used this company before once for non emergent maintenance after a recommendation from a relative. They came today to replace my dying sump pump after my emergency call...looking to avoid a flood!!! Very helpful and informative.......really appreciated their working me in today as I know they are very busy. Would highly recommend...very competitive pricing, knowledgeable and very responsive!

My project, which was to replace the rotted trim around the entry doors of a rental property proved more challenging than was initially anticipated. Tim came up with a solution, and executed the work to my complete satisfaction.
He arrived on time, and somehow survived a trip to Home Depot to pick up supplies, when half of Chicago had decided to spend their Memorial Day there!
I would definitely hire him again

Called Alex Sunday night after fighting with a clogged kitchen sink all day.  He returned my call promply and scheduled service first thing Monday morning.  Alex arrived promptly at 8am and got to work quickly.  He resolved our clogging problem before 9am and provided helpful tips about my home's plumbing.  Overall great experience...don't hesitate to call!

Wesley was the technician and he did a wonderful job. Very reliable and continued working until the job was finished. I'm

Very nice guys. But I paid them over $1,300
And couldn't fix the clog. Their next step they were going to dig and fix it. But I had to pay extra $1200.
I called some one else and fix it for $500.
I request a refound of at least half of the $1300.
That I paid for nothing. But just said they will ask the office. The office say they will ask the guy. And still nothing. This is over a month now.

Mikey and Joey were very punctual. They asssesed the situation I was having at my condo, and provided options to solve the plumbing problem. They were very professional. I highly recommend. Also, the customer I spoke early that morning was courteous. Thank you to Goode plumbing!

I am a first time Yelp poster (no one cares what I have to say). As a first time home owner, I've had to deal with a number of unwelcome surprises-- the worst of which may have been my first water bill.

When the second bill arrived two months later, I knew something wasn't right. I am lucky to have a neighbor who has lived in the Avondale neighborhood all her life, and she referred me to her longtime plumber-- who referred me to Walter Zuniga.

Long story short-- my main water line was leaking. From the beginning to the end of the repair, Mr. Zuniga was accessible and professional. He went out of his way to make sure I understood everything that was going on with the repair, and ensured that the project was done in a timely and efficient manner. Walter arranged the permits and  He was incredibly helpful in dealing with my nightmare of an insurance company. He did not surprise me with any unforeseen costs, remaining dependable and ethical throughout the project and thereafter.

Months after the job was complete, Walter texted me out of the blue, noting that he had driven by my house and noticed that the dirt filled in from the excavation was not laying evenly. He proceeded to send out a dump truck to remedy the issue. He appears to genuinely value his customers' satisfaction, and has subsequently earned himself another loyal customer.
