Best Businesses in Illinois

My husband found Mr Burris after a quick google search of African American plumbers. We called about 1pm that afternoon by 4pm Mr Burris was at our home. We have had a slow draining/clogged kitchen sink for over a month that my husband just could not get cleared. We called 2 other well known plumbing companies, they wanted to cut open our wall to clear the clog with a VERY expensive price tag.
Mr Burris was able to unclog the sink quickly and was able to tell my husband how to prevent this from happening again.
Timely service at a great price  from a man who is obviously very well skilled at what he does. Thank you Mr Burris we appreciate you.

My boyfriend and I were having some major issues with our sump pump. Jake did great work, he was very professional, AND came out the same day. We will definitely be using these guys in the future!

Martin is so bad, he charged me $100 for put two lights and hang two paintings for 30 mins work, he overcharged me, please be careful ask the price first! Never never use he again!!!

This is a long-overdue review of an excellent business!  I've had them come for two jobs at my house: redoing closets and refinishing a cracked and peeling ceiling in the kitchen.  Both jobs were done flawlessly by workmen who were professional and friendly.  Compared to many conrators that take your money and do bad work, or take your money and leave a project half-finished (I've experienced both), these folks are conscientious, careful, and make sure that you're happy with the product. I will definitely come back with more work for them!

I had the back up sewer clogged
They were very responsive, very professional and affordable prices..
Thank you
I highly recommend this company

Overall, just an unfortunate experience.  I wish I could relate to some of the other ratings touting their professional, honest and timely work but while the initial conversation with them seemed promising the end result was far different. Repair was completed in two days but when it could have easily been completed in 1 day. They got there closer to 10 and were out by 3 on first day. Next, they didn't return on second day without any notice only to learn they would return an additional 2 days later but only after I reached out to them late in the afternoon on the day they were suppose to return. Changed the quote on me multiple times and got them to stick to original quote through end of project (with the understanding that i might go up which I was ok with) It turns out the items on the final invoice were ridiculously marked up . Im a project manager by trade and regularly work with contractors so was able to see through the BS during these conversations and low and behold was not far off...... $1500 to replace an ejector pump?
$600 for a pump they picked up at Home Depot for $418 + tax (another $250 was charged of supplies,materials,etc by the way), $300 to clean a sump pit (10 minute job at most w/ wet vac). Then another $600 to drop the sump pump in the pit and tie it up. When I disputed this I didnt even get the full conversation going when they quickly offered to reduce the cost by $200 and while it brought the cost down then you know when this happens you've been screwed. WTF, Im ok with extra costs but DAMMN!!. Wanted to trust these guys, really did but just another example of  dishonest and shadey buisness practices. I can't recommend these people and please due your diligence when you get work like this done. DAMMMMN!!. Ill be more then happy to share the invoice if you want to see the details.

I called them because they were in the area. They came fast and very convenient. Not sure if they where pricey but got the job  in less than an hour from time of call.

Highly recommend this company. Prompt service, very reasonable estimate after receiving outrageous ones from another for unnecessary work! Yury was polite, a very hard worker, efficient, and made sure everything was working before he left. I will definitely use Excel in for my future needs.

They provided same day service on a busted pump that was backing up and preventing our tenants from using the bathroom/shower/etc when the others that we called couldn't get out there for a few days.  Terry was very friendly and helpful.  They offer an excellent warranty on the labor they provide.  Definitely going to save their number in my phone for the future.

I've used Thompson Plumbing on 2 occasions, for plumbing and the then for a gas leak. They were able to come same day, fixed the issue and for a price that was very reasonable. I highly recommend them.

Tim was so professional.  I spoke to him over the phone and explained my problem (sewage backing up into my house)- he knew exactly what the problem was. He was at my house in less than an hour, he had all the right tools, and got right to work! Within an hour all of my sewage problems were over. He was knowledgeable about how to reduce the chance of this happening again and how to maintain my drains. I will never use another plumber again!! I am so happy I gave him a call instead of one of the other big companies. His prices were very reasonable too, I will recommend him to anyone seeking a plumber!!

Body Plumbing did  our City of Chicago Backflow Device testing for our house (we have a home sprinkler system).  He came in about half the price of a few other places we called.  He was on time, very nice and professional and did all the paperwork.  Highly recommended, great experience.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

I think it is a good team that can solve any technical problem. Not as fast as everyone wants, but pretty good in different areas of repair. Maybe some employees of this company are really incompetent and irresponsible so many people have had unpleasant cases but I would reccomend.

Our basement had started to back up with sewage and after calling North Coast, they had someone out in a day.  Jesus and Johny were the employees who serviced the issue and were completely professional and courteous while working on the job.  They were able to fix the issue in 2 hours and spent to time to explain what the issues were.  Really appreciate their work and time and would use them again.

Wonderful Service!! Completely reasonable, professional and HONEST!!! We told them the problem over the phone and they gave us an estimate and then evaluated the problem in person and remained with their estimate. Went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that we were taken care of and our problem was handled. A different company quoted us at an outrageous price. ALL SUBURBAN IS A GREAT, HONEST, HARDWORKING COMPANY!!!

We had a 3rd floor condo bathroom, where the hot water pressure was barely a trickle.  Showering, was incredibly refreshing, but with the really cold weather, it became impossible.

The issue was not a building-wide issue (the hot water risers had been replaced a few years ago), so this was something within our unit.  We called plumber #1 who said they'd have to rip out the tile, break into the wall, replace all of the pipes at a cost of about $2,500-$3,500. Yikes! $150.00 for the visit.

The building's management company gave us the name of plumber #2 who said nonsense!  'Dis is a Chicago Faucet... we do 'dis kid of 'ting all da time... no problem!  They came out, pulled the faucet, pulled the handles and valves... and in the long run ($350.00 later) they couldn't fix it.

Each of these visits from plumbers #1 and #2 we had to have the water turned off in the tier... (no small feat).

The building maintenance guy told us to give Pressure Pros a call.  Jay came out quickly... we didn't have to have the water turned off.  He was on time, he was a nice guy... he lugged this unusual home-grown device, on two wheels, up three flights of stairs... plugged it into the shower nozzle, spent 20 minutes pushing pressure back and forth, back and forth... while we sat and talked.

When he pulled the device back off the nozzle, miraculously... without turning off the water to the tier... without damaging the bathroom tile, and without needing to use our Home-Equity-Line-of-Credit... we had more hot water pressure than we'd ever had.  And all for less than $100.00.  He didn't accept credit cards... but he said he'd mail me a bill.

I can't say enough nice things about Jay and Pressure Pros.  They saved us thousands, they were professional, nice, neat and showed up on time.  What more can you ask!?

Returned home from being out of town for a couple of weeks and our kitchen sink was backed up with standing water. It was pretty disgusting, no other way to put it. After getting the water out of the sink (and everything else that comes from standing water in a sink for a few weeks) I needed the sink pipes cleared, or so I thought.

I contacted a respected handyman nearby who referred us to J Blanton Plumbing, who were able to fit us into a very busy day the next AM. Jack and his son came out the next day and immediately found that the problem was not a clogged pipe under the sink but a larger clogged pipe in the basement that affected multiple units in our building. The job was much bigger than I thought originally but they were completely transparent about the process and cost for replacing the pipe along with snaking the drain and gave us the option of waiting to get comparative offers or do the work that day. There was no pressure and complete transparency. We decided to take care of it that day and they did exceptional work. While they were working they thought that they discovered another, much larger issue and might need to go into a wall to fix it but instead found a way to diagnose the issue and solve the problem in a much simpler way that didn't cost us anything. Major plumbing headache solved and the sink and pipes are working great!

These guys are true professionals, honest, respectful, incredibly knowledgeable, and fair. They ended up giving us a referral discount on all of the work that I didn't even know about. And then, this week, Jack stopped back by in between other jobs to help us locate the main water shut off valve in our apartment at no charge, just so we will know in the case of an emergency, now that's great service. Plumbing issues are no fun, but I would strongly recommend J Blanton plumbing.
