Best Businesses in Illinois

Great honest service at a reasonable price. Mr. Burris really knows his business. He gave me great advice going forward and I will definitely use him in the future.

Jake came out on a Saturday Labor Day weekend to help with standing in my basement. He was so friendly and professional explained everything and it turned out to be just a jammed float in our ejector. He refused to even charge the full service fee and just took a small amount of money! Blown away! Highly recommend and will definitely be calling them when we need to do the next project! Thanks Jake

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!!!

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.

Konstantin was great. Responded almost immediately, scheduled the free estimate the next day. Very fair price and very professional. Competed the work quickly, even replacing two additional things day of.  Walked me through all the work and showed all water was back on. Would definitely recommend

Would strongly avoid these guys and the associated headache.

They failed to fix the problem, only half-heartedly tried. They were slow to return when the issue immediately reappeared (despite it being obvious they didn't fix in the first place--they assured it had worked). They also didn't perform all the services charged for (scoping). And no itemized receipt for the services, conveniently. Required deposit, conveniently.

Had to get another company to fix their mess after a hefty bill. The other company did it faster, better, and cheaper.

Now they're ghosting on money they promised to return as a partial refund (itself frustrating since  other company was paid do what they failed to do). Not answering calls.

To call unprofessional is charitable.

Have used United for years now. They always come through and are consistently reliable. I'd be hard pressed to go with another plumber. Very highly recommend!!!

Fantastic response and friendly technician. This is our 3rd time using Excel, and not our last.

Very pleased! Quick response, professional and courteous. I have these guys in my phone now as plumber Terry and won't hesitate to call them 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!

Outstanding to work with....Installed 2 hot water heaters. They showed up on time, explained what they were doing, cleaned up, and did it at a fair price....

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.

Called up the Doctor on a Monday asking about a new ejector pump; I'm not a plumber so I told him it appeared the pump had died or was about to die, and what was I looking at dollar wise to have this replaced. He chuckled and said It depends on what I want. Ummm well I don't know so consider the middle of the road type of replacement. He quotes me a number and seems miffed when I said thanks, that I would be in touch after making a few other calls. Yeah, go ahead and call some others.

Turned out his $75 off Yelp referral made him $50 cheaper than another quote I had. E-mailed him the next day and asked what day he might be available. Got a one word reply back and followed that up with asking him to confirm the cost and to tell me exactly what time of the day he was available so we could book the appointment.

Never heard back from him.

Apparently the doctor was not in.

Edit (12/19/13): I will give Jon this so far - he contacted me after my review and apologized for the miscommunication. He's going out of his way to try and make it up to us which I sincerely appreciate; hopefully I can take him up on his offer. For this effort alone I am going to bump up my rating because it's obvious he cares not only about his potential customers, but supports the Yelp community and the trust people put into the reviews.

Eric and his team are as good as it gets.  I called him last summer due to some plumbing issues, and he did such a great job.  So when our basement flooded last week, his company was the only one I called for help.  Eric and his crew came the next day and worked hard to diagnose the problem.  We had a severe sewer drainage issues that burned out all four sump pumps.  He gathered a team together who arrived on time and solved the problem.  They were so professional and courteous.  They were also reasonably priced for the extent of the work.  Our insurance claims adjuster actually wrote down his number because he was so impressed with everything.  I highly recommend North Coast Sewer and Drainage.  I rarely write reviews but I had to for Eric and his great team.

I was out of town and got an early AM call from my daughter about the water heater leaking. Daniel was able to talk her thru shutting off the inflow and stopping any additional leaking. The came on Monday exactly when they said they would and took care of everything in a short period of time. Great customer service and the price was good too

Jay came out and cleared the supply line from my hot water pipe to the kitchen faucet.  I now have great pressure.  It took him about 10 minutes. Very professional.

I have had two experiences with J Blanton. The first experience was OK. A little pricey, but fine work.

The second experience was not OK. I scheduled an appointment for an HVAC technician to arrive between 9am-Noon. Around 11:15 no one had shown up, so I called to check status. I was told I would get a call back, which didn't happen. After noon, still no one has shown up or called. So I call back, as I have other obligations and can't sit around waiting all day. Instead of offering so much as an apology, they just say we can reschedule. I said no thanks, and called a competitor instead.

It is obvious they have little concern for a customer's time and assume you will just be flexible for them. Poor customer service, and unreliable scheduling. If you value your time, I would recommend calling someone else.
