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!

Jake couldn't have been more kind and professional. He was at my house first thing on a Sunday morning. He identified the problems and was patient with us. He discovered our problems were a more severe than we all thought. He referred us to another company to handle our major repairs and even called to check in later on our progress. Although Jake wasn't able to to fix everything I couldn't be more impressed and I would use him again without question.

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.

This past winter, our pipes froze so we had to cut a hole in the wall in order to access the pipes. Months went by and we kept putting off getting the hole patched. The Evanston Moms FB page had recommended Fixer so I reached out and they were able to respond quickly and with a competitive quote. They did a great job patching the hole, were very quick and quiet, offered to take off his shoes and wore a mask, and at the end of the day, the guy pointed out my walkway had both a dead bird and a dead mouse (eww) which he offered to dispose of if I could get him a bag. I told him I would take care of it but I really appreciated his kind offer and going that extra step to do something completely unrelated. The best part? I referred my sister to their services and I got a credit! I'll definitely be reaching out to them for future jobs.

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!

Professional, honest, and timely. Fantastic team to help problem solve my exterior drainage issues. Highly recommend this team.

During the Spring of 2017 my basement flooded at least w inches of water during heavy rains in chucago.  I had the lines Roddenberry 3 different  times thinking each time this will work.  Nope.  I purchased submersible sump pumps to send the water wherever it's supposed to go.  Finally, Spring 2019 was the food that broke the camels back.  I called United Sewer & Drain.  These guys came out with cameras and showed me the water pipe from the city to my property was broken on my side of the sidewalk.  United took out the old pipes, installed new pipes and Voila, no more flooding until the next heavy rain.  I called them back, they returned and discovered the pipe goongbto the drain at the back of the house between the basement back door and steps was broken.  How does that happen?  They dug up the concrete, installed bew pipe, concrete the area, made the drain a little larger than the ol one and I am now a happy camper.  Call these guys if you are having flooding problems.  Oh, by the way - before calling United I called the City, no help at all.

I had Excel Plumbing come to do a drain rodding, since the quote from J Blanton seemed extremely high of $407. The tenant reached out to Excel to ask what it would cost to rod a drain and they replied with $279 but that could increase if its more complicate

The managed to clear the pipes by rodding the drain and the total cost was $279.

I appreciated the upfront pricing and coming in a timely manner.

thank you!

Great response time and customer service! Called on a Sunday night and they came out Monday morning. Was only here about 25 minutes and my toilet is fixed! Great prices as well. Definitely recommend and will use again.

I have used Thompson plumbing a couple of times now and continue to be thoroughly impressed and extremely pleased with the work that is done. Nick is the plumber to ask for. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. Each time I've had him here to work on a project he educates me on the particular issue that I am having. I will never call anyone else but Thompson Plumbing. And if you have any type of plumbing needs you should call them as well. They are simply the best!

I highly recommend Keeley's. We noticed that the ceiling underneath our upstairs bathroom was wet and bubbling, so we called Keeley's to see if they could help. I appreciated that Tim explained their pricing over the phone, so we knew exactly what we were getting into. They were also able to get someone to our house the very next day. Andy came to our house and could not have been nicer. He thoroughly explained what he was going to do and the different pricing associated with each possible issue/solution. After determining the actual issue, he repaired it very efficiently and talked me through the entire process. He also provided some really helpful suggestions for the future. I couldn't have been happier with Andy and Keeley's overall.

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.

Do NOT hire this guy.

The TOTO plumbing supply store recommended John to fix our toilets. After no-showing and missing appointments, he finally showed up to do the work. He did most, but not all of the work. When we were waiting for him to come back and finish, some of the work broke. When I told him he has to not only come back to finish, he needs he get back right away and fix the toilets again which were broken. He wouldn't return phone calls or come back.

His best/worst excuse was, calling minutes before one of my scheduled appointments and said he is on the way to my house to do the work, but an emergency came up and he had to reschedule.

I was irritated -- again -- buy said okay, and to come the next day.

Then he asked me for my address. MY ADDRESS.

If you are currently on your way to my house, how do you not know my address? How do you know where you are driving...?

Don't hire this guy.

BTW -  the plumbing supply house who recommended me made an extra effort by driving the replacement parts to my house and apologized profusely about the situation.

I wanted to provide an update that North Coast has been awesome to work with and has helped to answer many questions I've thrown their way about various plumbing stuff.

Our prior seepage issue that my original review was about doesn't happen anymore despite some savage rainfall this year.

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!

Jim came right out and did an amazing job with our old pipes! He was polite, thorough, and got the job done! We will gladly refer him.

What a great company to work with.  Called them for a clogged toilet at 1:30 on a Thursday afternoon (today actually).  It is now just before 3 and the crew has completed their work!  In less than 90 minutes they dispatched a team (yes, 2 people) evaluated the situation, provided a quote under 3 different scenarios and fixed the problem.  The solution ended up being the lower of the 3 prices.  I fully expected when I called to have to wait at least 3 or 4 hours before anyone even showed up!  Customer service was friendly, getting someone out here was fast and the team that showed up was knowledgeable, efficient, courteous and clean.  When they left you could not tell they were there.  While the price is not the lowest around, I do believe it was fair.. and FAST.  I mean, you only get 2 out of 3 things you want: good, fast or cheap.  This wasn't the cheapest but they were fast and it was really good.  Also their pricing is flat rate.  I like that better than by the hour.  This way, if it takes them 30 minutes or 3 hours, cost is the same.  I would DEFINITELY call this company again.
