Best Businesses in Illinois

We had an emergency (leak) and they came out same day 2 hours after I called. The techs were courteous and knowledgeable. Price was fair. They finished up in an hour and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend!

A very responsive operation, with smart solutions. Previous plumbers had missed something that Vanguard was able to figure out, saving us money in the end. We will certainly be using them again in the future.

Excellent service. I contacted Victor after a contractor told me I may need to dig up my floor surrounding a pipe in order to fix a problem. Victor was very responsive and stopped by in a timely matter to access the situation and offer a solution. Victor and his team are professional, reasonable, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Update: Since my last review, we've hired Fixer about three or four more times - most recently, today, when Edgar (who is awesome) came to help us with some electrical work. Each time has been just as good as the first, and we'll gladly continue to hire them for future needs.

We set up a couple of jobs with Fixer.com (installation of a very heavy mailbox on our wrought iron gate, fixing some kitchen cabinets, getting a toilet to stop running) and could not be happier. The scheduling process is super easy, and the team was very responsive - via text, no less - when discussing the details. (You can text photos, etc., to help them prepare for the job.) Their rates, we feel, were very reasonable; after the first hour, the rate is per minute, so you don't get charged, say, for 3 hours when they were really only there 2.4 hours. The rate is lower during times when they have to run to the hardware store for parts, too, which is nice.

Fixer.com sent us Chang for our jobs, and he was a SAVANT at everything. He really knew his stuff, and made sure that all solutions to our issues were considered so that we'd land on the right approach, at the most reasonable cost. He was also so fast; not a minute was wasted, even though he managed to also take the time to teach us a thing or two about our cabinets and toilet so we could avoid issues down the road. Oh, and he didn't leave a trace. No sawdust, no wayward screws...n

So many times, we've tried to hire a guy to fix something here and there. But we've never found the one (and in fact experienced more issues than not). But honestly, we will be going to Fixer.com for help all the time now. Just an amazing experience all around.

Eric did a fantastic job.  Made it out the next day just before the holiday weekend when I needed him. Pricing was fair and even when stores were closed early for the holiday he was able to make it happen. Highly recommend.

During the winter we discovered a broken pipe in our basement.  We called around and had plumbers come by and give us their estimates until we happened upon All Rooter.  All Rooter is local, a plus for us because we like to shop/do business in our neighborhood.  Bert came by, assessed the job, gave us a fair price and took care of the problem in a day and a half.  Our plumbing problem required having to break cement and replace old broken pipes.  Bert went through the trouble of solving the problem in such a way that our finished basement was never touched.  Bert was patient, explained what he was doing, thorough but fast and clean.  Believe the reviews people!  Bert is the man!

I would like to thank Zach and Vinny from Kevin Szabo Plumbing for the great job they did replacing a section of pipe under my basement floor. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs.

I had some kitchen plumbing issues 10/6, Bobby came out was very professional. Did a great job! Will use them again!!

Two problem with my past experience with the company
1. The estimates they quoted are so much higher than others.
2. The business owner is not open for price negotiation and seems very inpatient.

The good part is the technician Jose explains things in great details and is very patient when answering questions.

Pretty terrible experience. I had a backup in my basement so I called Captain rooter out. After walking around they told me they recommended to hydrojet the line to clear it and then stick a camera in the pipes to see what was going on.

Quoted me $1300 because there was no cleanout (WRONG). I showed them the cleanout and now the price became $900. They took a look into the cleanout and dropped their flashlight which became stuck as well. Refused to get it out and never responded again.

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!

Tim was on time ,  knowledgable  of the job ,was able to complete the service in timely manner highly recommend his service reasonable price will defenately use his service again 5 stars

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!

Chicago Sewer Experts came out to fix an issue we were having with our washer/sink draining. Not only were they late (arrived past the time window we were given and no call to let us know they were running late), but the worker then locked his keys in the car which took half an hour to resolve. He used OUR tools to get himself back into his car. Once he was finally able to get in the car and get his tools, he did NOT tell us that blowing out the hose of the dryer would cause our kitchen sink to be blown out too. This caused mud and debris from the pipes to be blown all over our kitchen and our ceiling, which led to a lengthy cleaning process on our end and trying to figure out how to scrub the ceiling. Absolutely do not use them.

Called to set up a time for plumber to come out- he said he would be at my place the next day between 9am-11am... Time goes by- it's 11:30am.. I text... no response!!! I called.. no answer!! I left a VM.. never got a call back!! Horrible responsiveness and customer Service!! Not sure how they have so many good reviews!  Maybe this was an off day but damn!!!
Very disappointed.

We called Goode at the recommendation of friends who had worked with them. Chip and Henry came out to install a new toilet that we had purchased ourselves. While they were on-site I also decided to have our main sewer line cleared and scoped due to some other issues we were having and they quickly sent Mike and Jared out same-day to do that work.

They were on time (early, actually), were able to get the second crew out quickly, they worked fast, were extremely professional and courteous, kept me updated as the work progressed, explained things and answered questions along the way and kept things clean as they wrapped up the job.

The only 'complaint' is that the work was pretty expensive. We were able to get a break on price because we hired them for multiple services, which I appreciated, but it still was not cheap.

I can't say whether I'd recommend Goode for more extensive or complicated work given the given the straightforward nature of what we had done and the cost. However, I can say that that I definitely appreciated their team's customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail in the work they did for us and will strongly consider them the next time we need a plumber.

We had a kind of crazy situation with a People's Gas inspection - we passed an inspection and then they claimed we needed a condo board to ask for a safety inspection when we're a SFH.

Walter responded to my text quickly, and Manny came by and checked all our lines to make sure we could pass any inspection they could possibly do. They not only did a great job of checking all our lines (which isn't easy, since our house was built in the 1870's) but also did a great job of helping us navigate the bureaucracy of getting everything straightened out.
