Best Businesses in Illinois

I had just closed on my house on 03/26/20 Wednesday, and then discovered a little puddle of water in my basement by the floor drain and furnace today, 03/28/20 Sat. I have not even moved in my house yet so I was freaking out. The home warranty company I purchased, American Shield Home Warranty, were horrible! When I called them to send a plumber, they said they would send one asap and have them call me. Well, I kept calling them, and gave up after waiting for three hours since no one would follow up on my service request.

So, I decided to do a google search for plumbers and found Mr. Burris' company. I decided to call them. Mr. Burris called me in less than an hour and asked what the problem was. When I told him the problem, he said that he was coming right away.

Not only did Mr. Burris diagnose the problem right away, he fixed it. The water turned out not to be anything major. Mr. Burris was honest and he did not try to advantage of me since I was a new homeowner. He went above and beyond his duty. He educated me on my heating, cooling, and plumbing system and that is priceless.

Thank God for Mr. Burris. I highly recommend him

Jake and Brandon came out extremely fast to remove and replace our well pump. He explained everything up front, and quoted me a approximate price and did the job fast and they even moved a heavy fountain that was in the way. Some others locally weren't as professional on the phone and even one came to the house in a argumentative mood. I had to send him away. Not Jake. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and won't hesitate to call him again. Excellent service/job.

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!!

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!

Great work and great pricing. Fair honest and up front.

I've called Konstantin first for my water spigot breaking. He cut out the pipe and installed a shut off valve the next day.

Second; my water heater went out on a weekend. His guy came in and swapped it out quickly and made it so we could have warm showers for work the next day and the pricing was fantastic, plus they hauled away the old one.

Last night my drain backed up during a laundry cycle. He came out today and hydrojetted my sewer line and showed me video before and after of how many roots had invaded my clay pipes.

I would 100% recommend emergency plumbing for any job! It's worth every penny to find a good honest person so if your looking for a new plumber, this is the one!

These guys came out in the middle of the night and saved our basement.
Not only did they have a vacuum truck on the scene to pump out our backed up catch basin, they used hydrojetting to break through a clog that a rod wouldn't budge.

Fairly priced for a middle of the night emergency.

Thank you team ACE. We appreciate you !!!!

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 .

Just had our water heaters go out in the home we bought last year ( water heaters were only 6 years old and one exploded)... I called excel last week and they were responsive and quickly came over.. We have a large home so we needed replacement  water heaters that could handle 6 bathrooms/ two laundry rooms...  They also noticed that our sump pump had been malfunctioning and gave us a quote for it...  The service was fabulous, price was slightly higher than the other quotes I got but their team was the most skilled ..

Work was completed well, but lacked a lot of attention to detail.
Invoice was not very detailed, and the price increased after the initial estimate.
Responsiveness was excellent and communication was always quick.
I called two weeks later to fix an issue and he immediately came and fixed it.

Overall not bad, but not great.

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.

These guys should be your first call for any plumbing issues. Very professional in response time (owner answered on first call)  and explanation of what needed to be done to repair my problem. Calling a plumber can be stressful but these guys will treat you right.

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.

John saved the day and my Moms 65th birthday! I had new counter tops installed and needed my plumbing hooked back up! I I was so upset when I called him because I had another company just tell me it was going to be $1700.00 because I needed everything new! I just wanted my plumbing hooked back up! I called John late that evening very upset and told him what happened and the first thing he said is do not worry I can help you! He asked for me to send pictures and told me this would not be a problem! Asked for my address and said see you tomorrow and not to be upset!
He was professional and extremely kind and followed up to see if my mom enjoyed her birthday! I thought this was pretty awesome! I am extremely grateful and will pass his cards to all my clients!  Thank you again John

Eric came and inspected our home and gave us a very reasonable price. We hired North Coast to fix our crack in the foundation. His workers did an excellent job and work was done in a timely manner. Eric even came out and was very hands on with the project. He is a very honest guy and is very good at what he does. I would definitely hire him again for another job. Again him and his crew did such an amazing job . Thank you Eric.

Friendly, honest, and most importantly, when it was raining in my basement, they came within 2 hours on a Saturday. They took the time to talk to me, educate me, and they were so respectful and careful when in my home! Their price was ridiculously fair and they referred me to the next company for the big repair needed on my main sewer line. He told me exactly how to talk about the services I need and told me what I should look for as a fair price. George took me to the basement, took the cap off the sewer line, handed me a flashlight, and told me what I was looking at. He is such a sincere, helpful, honest businessman... I just can't thank him enough. He had an apprentice with him and just observing how patient and kind George was as he taught the next generation of plumber spoke volumes about who he is as a person. A million times over I recommend this company!

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.

Had my third great experience with J Blanton plumbing. Andrew showed up exactly on time, and gave us terrific advice about how to investigate dampness in our basement. There was no push I was or pressure at all, and no charge for his consultation. I am incredibly surprised and a lot of the negative reviews you see on this page, because this is my third grade experience with J Blanton. I will continue to use this company.
