Best Businesses in Illinois

1925 Bungalow Blues, verse 27.
We had all the faucets set to fast drip...except for the kitchen sink, which is right against the outside wall. So, no running water in the kitch this morning. Hey, we got these space heaters! One under the sink, one in the basement, what could possibly go wrong?

(fast forward a few hours)

Hey, the faucet is starting to drip just a bit! Hooray! But, what's that strange sound coming from the basement?

(cut to basement shot)

Why, it's the Bellagio fountains! Beautiful! Hot steamy water just pouring down the wall. Picturesque in its own horribly messy way. Quick! move all the laundry stuff, drag the junky rug out of the way. How to stop the water? Who were the plumbers we used before?
Yelp to the rescue! I just started speed dialing thru the list, leaving messages, texts, asking for a plumber TODAY. My wife comes home after braving the weather to perform her canine mobility and support work in the sub-zero arctic conditions. Oh great!
We BOTH start calling every plumbing number we can find.

About an hour into the telethon, I get a call back!
(angelic choir singing Hosanna!)
I'm sending my guy Vinny. He'll be there in an hour.
(slightly over an hour later)
Vinny and his buddy Henry made it here and fixed not 1, not 2, but THREE burst pipes. It's a temp fix, and they're coming back on Saturday to make it all nice and spiffy again.

THANK YOU ALL STAR PLUMBING!

I was very happy with their installation of my Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater. It was kind of complicated and I was having a hard time finding someone to install it. They did it quickly and at a good price. Thanks again.

Could not be any happier with the experience that we had with Mo! We just bought a home and had a number of projects that we needed completed, and Mo was on time for the appointment and had all of the tools necessary for everything needed. He also wore his mask the entire time, was thorough, professional, and one of the nicest people we've met!

We had a really hard time finding someone to come out and help with the projects in our new home (new toilet installation, switching out the washer and drier, caulking several areas, and fixing a few minor issues). Larger companies rescheduled on us twice, so we decided to go with Mo and I'm extremely happy with did.

You will be too!

Reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, prompt and trustworthy. Thank you! Will call again for any future needs!

Joe came out to fix a ruptured pipe in my wall.   He was quick to respond and instantly knew how to tackle the problem.  He was extremely quick and explained everything he was doing in detail.  His price was more than fair.  Great experience.  Highly recommend!

Very responsive and reliable. A pipe bursted. Multiple plumbers either never called us back or confirmed an appointment and then never show up. Trent and Mr Rivera were fast and efficient. They came out in the middle of the night. They made the process so easy and got it fixed in no time. I would definitely use them again for any plumbing needs.
Thank you guys for saving us !

I found a leak in my basement and tracked it down to the kitchen sink. I reached out to Reeg for a repair. I spoke with Chris (who is VERY friendly). After sending a photo, he booked for the next day as the job should only take an hour or two. I was stoked to get it resolved.

Bode was assigned and scheduled to arrive between 10-12am. He was running late (it happens) and Reeg called to let me know. No worries! Bode is super friendly also. After looking at the issue in person he spotted another BIGGER leak... CRAP (literally). He said he needed to get the owner out to do an estimate.

I called the following day after not hearing from them. I thought they would call me but might have been confused on that. I left a message. When they called me back the following morning their scheduler told me she could get me on the schedule for an ESTIMATE 2 weeks later! No idea how long completing the work might take... No bueno. At this point I am doing dishes in the powder room sink and dumping a bucket catching leak water several times a day to prevent a damaging basement flood.

I guess I don't understand why a 2 hour repair could be performed next day but an ESTIMATE on a big job (wouldn't they want the work?) takes TWO FREAKING WEEKS! If there had been a temporary solution offered I might have waited. It just isn't reasonable to not have a functioning kitchen sink for 3 weeks or longer.

They are nice folks but I had to go elsewhere. I wanted to hire Reeg. Maybe additional time could be allotted for estimates? ‍ Or someone in addition to the owner could be empowered to perform estimates?

I would try them again for other plumbing projects if it wasn't an urgent issue.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Chicagoland handyman. I was looking for a handyman to complete a few projects in my home. The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite.

I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home.

The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

Great craftmansship. Oscar fixed my toilet i was unable too. I paid him $200, he then ordered parts, showed up the next day, installed and fixed it for good for additional $80. Faor price, great work, he showed up again to make a little extra to finish a job being paid $200 upfront.

The preferred plumbing van was dangerously tailgating me today and when I called to complain about it I got the driver who blamed me for driving by looking in my rearview mirror. He's a menace to the road.

Highly recommend Dominick! He is incredible reliable and quick to respond. He also explains everything in detail which I really appreciate. We had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday and we needed him to come out and he came out within an hour and fixed everything promptly. He is also so friendly and great with kids and dogs as a plus.

They always come to help my business! They do an amazing job, they are so honest and come quickly when I need someone last minute. I would highly recommend them to any business looking for an honest quick fix to your plumbing problems! Thank you Red Hot Plumbing!

Patrick is amazing.  I am in the process of doing a shower remodel and needed to have old galvanized piping replaced with updated copper piping and a new shower valve installed.  I called around and even had other plumbers come to inspect the job, but many of those other companies quoted me 3-4Xs more money than what Patrick quoted me over the phone. Additionally,  he was quick,  efficient,  and extremely personable.  He also stuck to the price he initially quoted me, which was a major deal since I am on a strict budget. I am one of the biggest skeptics and harshest critics,  but I have nothing but great things to say. I have found my go-to plumber.

I read a lot of positive reviews and was really excited when my home applience insurance company sent me information that Affordable Plumbing will come and unclog my kitchen sink.
On Wednesday 11/24/2022  Noe(owner) came to look and as I was hoping he would help me to fix the problem.
I knew that I was supposed to pay my service fee $65 which I did before he even bring his tools and start working . He said that I can't use credit card and I can only pay check, cash or transfer money by Zelle.
During that time Noe called my home insurance  which sent him to do the job and find out that company will pay him for his job only $150 and rest of it needs to be paid by me {additional $85). I was pretty sure that
my $65 and insurance $150 would be enough to cover cost of unclogging the sink and refused to pay additional $85.
So, Affordable plumbing became not affordable to me.
Since, it was Thanksgiving long weekend and I realized that I need kitchen sink to be fully functional I called him back and said that I will pay him additional $85 but he answered me that I already left and I have other customers He couldn't tell me when he can come back and did not responded to my texts on Monday.
Tomorrow is a week as my sink supposed to be unclogged if Noe was more Affordable plumber. Not $65+$150+$85
I got Valpak mail with local plumber who can do this job for $89.99
I understand that I lost my money but I decided to share my negative experience.

I recommend this company for ease of scheduling,  reasonable fees and efficient service.  Anthony was on time, clean, polite and efficient. We couldn't replicate a leak I was chasing, but he went over & above in fixing a sink problem not in the original request.

They fixed an issue with a rocking toilet and identified an issue before it became worse. I appreciate Gabriel's candidness and helpfulness.

the best plumber Relaible trusted great job experience best customer service will recommend

i have used Szabo a couple times in the past. i think they are a first class outfit. having said that,        around the first of December i called to have a humidifier replaced on my furnace this was a direct replacement. same as what was on there. i sent tech pix of unit as requested. i was quoted $800.00 to do job i declined. i decided to do it myself how hard could it be? direct replacement. well it took me about one hour .i got a new in the box on EBAY for $175 with shipping $225.00.i think this is  way out of line. close to $400.00 an hour. any way you look at it.i post this not out of meanes but to warn cust.

I would like to say that 4S plumbing was great but unfortunately I was never contacted or serviced for my scheduled estimate. I reached out for a help with a project via Yelp on 3/8/2021. The response from 4S was timely and provided me with all the information necessary to schedule my estimate. It was recommended that I schedule my estimate by texting William/Bill for the quickest response.

I texted the number provided on 3/9/2021 and scheduled an estimate for my project with William/Bill for 3/10/2021 between 1pm and 3pm. It definitely was a quick and efficient way for scheduling a time that worked for both of us.

A little bit before 1pm on 3/10 I texted asking for him to let me know when he was en route to my location so I could crate my dog prior to his arrival. I never heard back. I never received a phone call or text. Heck, not when even an email which he had as he asked for it when I provided all of my contact information. Nothing. Zilch. Zero.

This is unfortunate and has lead me to be believe that I will most likely not be reaching out for 4S for an future plumbing needs.
