Best Businesses in Illinois

Mr. Burris is professional, informative and knows his business. In addition to addressing the problem that I called him for (low pressure in my multi-unit building), the things that he taught me about regular maintaining my plumbing and things I can do to prevent problems, made his reasonable service fee more than worth it.

Jake was awesome!!! I called on thanksgiving expecting to get voicemail, but Jake answered in the first three rings!!! He came out promptly the next morning and had the water up and running before noon!!!! Best experience I have ever had with any home repairs. The service was awesome and Jake was very friendly. He answered all my questions. I'm truly impressed with the service. Call Jake you won't regret it.

I've hired Martin 3 separate times for various different jobs: appliance mount, ceiling fixture removal and patching and electrical work. I've been happy with the quality of work in all of them. He is honest, skilled, reliable, a great communicator on-site and his rates are straight-forward and reasonable.

One point of criticism: I wish he was stronger in responding to inbound service requests and follow-ups until the appointment date. He's been inconsistent about this but if you are patient enough to roll with this flaw, I believe it is worth it. To be clear, Martin has never skipped any appointments that he had confirmed with me.

I have full confidence in him and will continue to be a repeat customer. So many other corporatized handyman shops will charge you two limbs for a basic job that oftentimes give you an average outcome. With Affordable Handyman Services, I'm so glad I can give my money to a business owner who actually deserves it.

We've had Fixer five times now and have been super impressed with their reliability, skill level and communication. They ALWAYS show up and they do what they say they're going to do in the time frame they say they'll need. Their rates are fair. Beck L is our favorite Fixer--incredibly competent and very pleasant. We also like that Fixer offers its staff decent benefits and guaranteed hours, so it's not a situation where a corporation is squeezing gig workers for every dollar they make. It's a company we feel great about supporting.

Emergency plumbing installed our toilets in three of our bathrooms. They even pointed out things to us we hadn't noticed about a pipe that had been leaking which was so helpful! We were so pleased with this experience that we asked them to come back to cap pipes in our basement. Very reasonable price and great on timing.  Very friendly!

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.

We can always rely on Excel plumbing to get the job done right and at a reasonable cost.  They are very courteous about advising of timing of the technicians.  Technicians are knowledgeable and polite as well..Have used them over the years for complex jobs such as installing a new water pressure pump to toilet repairs.

When I called to schedule a plumber, he asked me where the sink was leaking, after telling him where the leak was, he told me that I could easily fix it myself with his instruction. It's fixed!
What an amazing thing to do, thank you!

Thompson is the best. First off they answer the phone and show up on time.  I had a leak in a copper pipe in the basement that was handled quickly and professionally.  One outfit quoted my 5 hours labor charge for the repair.  The Thompson plumber fixed it properly in 45 minutes.  They will be the one I call if I ever have any other plumbing issues.

Keeley's Plumbing is an extremely reliable company. They never tried to oversell anything during their visit. Tested the whole system , told us it's a minor issue and fixed the problem very quickly.

Tim patiently responded to all the questions and made sure I was comfortable with the fix before he left...

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.

Our pipes started backing up and he was able to come out quickly and resolve the issue at an excellent price.  He is very personable and explains anything you want to know.  By far the best experience I have had with a plumber!

I called at 7:45am because of sewer backup into house, James and crew from North Coast rolled up at 8:30am. He reviewed the issue, routed the lines, cleared blockage within an hour. They also replaced some pipes needing repair. Honest and fair pricing. I have now found my go to plumber.

Plumber came out, looked around and assessed that a part needed to be replaced estimating a $1300 bill, but charged a fee just to look. Had a second plumber come out. He investigated the same leak, added some plumber's putty and said no charge. Not sure what to think about this. All other posts stated honest, etc., but $1300 versus no charge is a no brainer.

Pressure Pro got the job done. Our building building and our unit was notorious for weak water pressure, especially in the bathrooms. Jim and his guys got the pressure back up to a level I didn't think possible. Pressure Pro Rocks!

I had a huge plumbing emergency and they did a fantastic job at a decent rate. I was having serious bathroom issues and they sent out Howard and Jeff. They were very nice and super professional. They were quick and efficient. Both the sink and bathtub were clogged and the toilet was acting up. They helped fix all my problem within a few hours and left the bathroom in perfect working order. I highly recommend This company and Jeff and Howard A+ Service at a great rate.
