Best Businesses in Illinois

Mr. Burris, was amazing he repaired my clog tub and slow draing problem  to perfection.

I truly appreciate his service and honesty.  The cost of service was more than fair.

Great Plumber!

My experience with Jerry's Pump Service was outstanding in every way. Highly recommended!

Martin was phenomenal!! He was very patient with the whole process. My boyfriend got the wrong wall mount unit, and Martin waited for him to run next door to get the right wall mount. He was very quick with the installation and once we got the right unit the tv was up within 30 mins. He then spent about 15 minutes making sure everything is nice and neat. He bounded all the cables together with electrical tape and wiped down the area after he was done. Absolutely a great experience!! Highly recommended!!

Quick | communicative | professional

Quick: I needed to replace my overhead microwave unit in my apartment. I reached out to 8-10 different handyman services, fixer was the first to respond. They also were the first to give a quote that was responsible and didn't look the haggle.

Communicative: when fixer reaches out, they have a texting service that they communicate through and have you save in your phone. The texting service Walk's through payment, scheduling, and any changes or updates. After scheduling me a few days later a new appointment time opened up and the texting service alerted me and I made the appointment for the new time.

Professional: fixer had two people come. As soon as they checked in, I received an email/text that said the people had checked in and their estimate for job length. They best their estimated time by 30 minutes which saved me substantial dollars from the initial estimate.

Pro tip: use the Yelp handyman feature for looking for a handy man.

Excellent response during a flood from back flow with the city , gave excellent advice , good pricing, do not take advantage of the emergency

We had a major problem with our toilet and we called a neighborhood plumber who charged us $275.00 to literally come and do nothing . Problem still existed . We called Ace Drain and Sewer Experts and actually spoke to the owner directly Mr. Vega. He assessed the situation over the phone and came out right away with his crew. He was actually there for over an hour and needed more parts which he himself went and retrieved them. It was a big job but they got it done and everything is back to normal. They were punctual, courteous and definitely knowledgeable of plumbing industry. There manners and professionalism was impeccable. As long as I am a property owner I will always use there service in the future . I implore my friends and family to do the same. Thanks Mr. Vega for a job well done and your courtesy of the working class.

Very responsible and highly recommended. Come for estimated and fair price and repaired my front yard sewer within 4 days . Follow up with further concerns. Will hire them again for my maintain .

The whole team was great with communication. The plumber arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. I'll definitely be using Excel Plumbing again!

I tried to remedy the slow drain in my tenants shower and sink.  I gave it the college try and knew when to throw the towel in...not literally.  One of the tenants mentioned their friend who had used Your Helpful Plumber and recommended them.   I decided to give them a chance.  That was at 10:30 am.  They met me at the property at 1pm and communicated beautifully....a challenge for many these days even with cell phones.  Terry was not only prompt, he was pleasant and got to the issue immediately.  He quickly used his special tools, which I did not possess to unclog the slow moving drains.  We tested for leaks and before you knew it he was done.
Hi highly recommend this team to help you when you need them.  Oh and the price is more than fare.

We had a very minor leak underneath our sink. Called Thompson as we had used them in the past. They came out and diagnosed the leak as a faulty garbage disposal and recommended a new one at a cost of $500. I agreed and arranged for them to come back. Due to a tragedy in my family, I had to wait six weeks before having them come back out. During that time, the leaking garbage disposal barely leaked any water. When they arrived to install the new disposal which they had recommended, they said I'd have to have the electrical line extended to reach this new $500 garbage disposal and I needed to contract an electrician at an additional cost. I asked them to just put my current disposal back in and I'd deal with the minor leak. They did so and now the leak is much worse and their only solution is to tell me to just do without a disposal or go ahead with their $500 disposal and another couple hundred or more for electrical work. I feel completely misled and cheated, during a very difficult time.

I've had Keeley's (specifically Andy) out twice to do some work (toilets), and have been very satisfied both times. They do a thorough job, care about their work, and are very transparent about pricing and details on other potential plumbing work (water valves, laundry room plumbing, etc.). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keeley's to anyone who is looking for a plumber in the area (we're in Glen Ellyn).

We called Body plumbing to repair one of our leaking backflow valves. He gave us good price on the repair and he even came twice to work on it after the first attempt did not come out right at no extra charge. His pricing however on testing was good but we found better so we will use another company for yearly testing. We will definitively call him again to get pricing in the future though.

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 called John to rout my bathroom, and he and his apprentice John stopped by the very next day to fix me up!  Not only was this work done great, but The guys also helped me move a piano through a tight doorway that I've need help with for months.
These guys are so awesome not only do they do great plumbing work, but they move pianos too! Thanks a bunch John!!!

They know how to run a business! Always professional, responsive and they do everything right. I really like working with them and they have earned my loyalty!

Kevin and Ron are truly amazing professionals.  They were the only company to actually go to the property to evaluate the situation for 2 different homes recently. I represented the seller in both cases and cannot say enough about the responsiveness, professionalism and follow-up I received daily. I am a Realtor who was assisting sellers with water Stop Box issues ( which is new to me) and now I am happy to have an excellent resource in my Tool Box for clients. Thank you for your excellent service!

Wow. This was a first. Jay showed up on time to his credit. From there it just went downhill. I asked Jay to remove his shoes as we would be going upstairs and there is a carpet runner on the steps and carpeted bedroom he would have to walk through. He said no he could not remove his shoes because he'd be bringing equipment in. Ok, that's a first. Typically contractors will have no problem with this or will bring the blue shoe covers. I mention well, ok, as long as your shoes are clean. He then says this isn't going to work, turns around and walks out the door. I stood there a second, picked my jaw up off the floor then opened the door and said you realize how unprofessional you are acting and he said yep, got in his car and left. Maybe he's a pro at improving water pressure (I wouldn't know), but he's far from having a professional demeanor. I'm willing to bet he doesn't behave like this if it was a man greeting him at the door.

I am a landlord of a condo located in the city and one day the hot water heater stopped producing hot water. I asked my tenants to describe the issue. After they told me what the water heater was doing, I immediately knew what the issue was because I had fixed it before when I used to live there. Due to the fact that I do not live close to my tenants, I called J Blanton for assistance. Scheduling an appointment was very easy and they were going to come out the next day to analyze the issue. The next day arrived and the technician called my cell phone to tell me what the issue was before any work was done. The technician said I needed to replace the thermopile and the flame sensor for $455 or buy a new water heater at $2,420.

I advised the technician that I have had this problem with the hot water heater before in the past. I told him how I fixed it in the past and I requested he clean the sensor before I purchase the equipment he recommended. The technician then told me he would not clean the sensor because it was the thermopile. I then told him how to clean the flame sensor with a fine grain sand paper and it apparently went in one ear and out the other. A short time later I told him I would not be doing any of the work he recommended to me (because he did not attempt to fix what I knew was the issue).

Due to his actions, I was forced to travel into the city that night and attempt to fix the issue myself. Once I got to the condo, I opened the flame sensor bay (unscrewing 2 screws) and scrubbed the tip of the flame sensor with some sand paper. About 10 minutes later, I put the 2 screws back in, and turned the power back on. The hot water heater fired up without any issues. It was fixed! I was willing to pay someone to do this for me but J Blanton wanted to make the big bucks off of me and it didn't work.
