Best Businesses in Illinois

I heard of Connell Plumbing through Nextdoor. Was looking for a smaller plumbing job that no one wanted to do. Nate and a coworker came in and replaced my washer valves as they wouldn't shut off. Excellent team with an excellent response time. Will be lifelong users of this company. After many plumbers didn't answer their phones & no one would get back to us- it's important to know there's still an excellent plumbing company out there.
Thanks again!

My mother lives in Oak Park IL and I recently relocated to Indiana.  I worry about her and I am very concerned about her well being.  In the past, I was always there to help her with whatever problems she had with the upkeep of her home.  Now, I feel pretty helpless in that area.  My mother has been having plumbing problems as of late, and Tim Stefl was recommended to me by a close friend.  I can only say, that I am extremely happy with the service they have provided to my mom!  They come whenever she calls them and always provide great, friendly service at a very reasonable price!  I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs quality service at a fair price!

Brandon did a terrific job rebuilding our main staircase, as well as installing our new kitchen cabinets. He's always prompt and communicates regularly when we have questions. I highly recommend working with him!

I contacted D & L through yelp. Travis responded immediately and was willing to come on a Sunday evening. It was not an emergency as we still had access to another bathroom. Travis came on Monday and had to work very hard to clear our main line out. It was pretty bad and had to spend more time that he originally thought. All was good when he left and he even honored his original quote. Will definitely call again.

Stephens plumbing is fair and reasonable.  They came out quickly and did the job for less than half the cost Jay's Plumbing wanted.  Additionally, their products are far more fairly priced.  Where Jay's wanted five times the cost for a garbage disposal sold at Home Depot, Stephens was only $50 more.  And they were happy to let me buy it from Home Depot and still install it.  Don installed it and rodded out my drain in less time than was originally suggested, saving me on labor.  He also was able to fix a couple of things that needed to be done in that time.  Thanks, Stephens! I will be calling on you in the future.

Reliable service, very professional, and fast. I called OLP because I had something urgent and he said no problem. Very happy I went with this company. My problem was fixed so fast and the price was reasonable. Will be using this company for any plumbing issues in the future and recommending to friends/ family. Thank you Augustine!

Tom and his guy Mike are awesome! Same day service with great affordable prices. Came after hours without the expense. Even without the after hours where less expensive then the 'big' companies. Didn't walk away from crawling under my deck to get into the crawl space. I needed my main sewer line rodded out where the only clean out as I know was present and these guy did it without hesitation. Gave great suggestions to prevent tree roots from reoccurring. I've saved them in my contacts and plan on using them and telling friends/family about them for any future needs. If I could give 10 stars I would. You guys are welcome back for a brew anytime. Thank you again.

Whiting Plumbing does quality work for a reasonable price!  They don't advertise too much so you must have been referred to them by family or friends.  Lane is knowledgeable and prompt!  We've used Whiting Plumbing to re-pipe our old house with new copper pipes, put in a new higher toilet, unclog and put a new wax ring on our upstairs toilet, and complete the plumbing when we installed a new tub!  He also installed a new wash tub and faucet in the basement and installed a new faucet in the kitchen!  I feel Lane is honest and reliable.  I would recommend Whiting Plumbing to anyone who needs a plumbing problem solved!

Since moving into This Old House 2 1/2 years ago we've found issues left and right that needed fixing.   For almost that entire length of time, our upstairs toilet was out of commission.  The downstairs one always had to have the handle held to flush completely.  Also we discovered a leak in the basement everytime we flushed it.   The kitchen faucet was constantly leaking.  The basement laundry basin was nonfunctional and in recent months the upstairs sink kept getting clogged.    In short it was a mess.

Of course we had to prioritize that against old gutters, inefficient windows, an old radiator, and general maintenance.   To top it off I was laid off last September.   So money of course was as Simply Red would sing..too tight to mention.    Yep showing my age.

Things thankfully turned around for the time being and we finally were able to tackle the plumbing this summer.

I searched Yelp and Chalmers was among the three I reached out to.   One I didn't hear back from and Chalmers and another company reached back saying to contact for more details.

I read the Yelp reviews of the remaining contender and those scared me off.  I saw Chalmers had all positive  (albeit only a few).  

I took a chance and am glad I did.  David was courteous on phone as I detailed all that needed to be done.  I scheduled a free estimate and he came by promptly as D showed him our situation.

The price he came back with seemed pretty fair so I agreed to have him do the work.    He finished everything on my laundry list within 2 hours.   It ended up for the toilets that both had shoddy work on the wax ring which caused the leaking.    Replacing the toilets and putting the wax ring properly solved the leaking issue.  He was very professional and through during the whole visit.    And I was very pleased with the results.

David's the real deal.  If you need any kind of plumbing work, take a chance on him.   Flush the rest...LOL.

just plain rude! calling for a service and kept insisting i'm doing a sales call how could a business treat future customers like that?! first of all if you're professional w/ what you do you need to learn how to listen FIRST and asses. your customers explanation before you jump in to some sort of BS conclusions. that's not how you do business!

We awoke to a very unpleasant sewage back-up coming through our basement drain. I called at 9am on a Friday after quickly searching Yelp. They were able to send someone same day and he arrived promptly at 12:30, even though I was given a 12:30-2:30 window. Alex was our plumber and he wasted no time diagnosing the problem and explaining things to me as he went. The repair ended up costing far less than anticipated and actually made us realize through our previous experiences with other plumbers that we've been ripped off a few times. This company is honest and does the job right, the first time. He even recommended a clean up company to restore our basement. We won't hesitate to use Arrow for all of our plumbing needs in the future. It's great to know that there are still honest, reliable small companies out there who don't try to take advantage of you when you're in an emergent situation.

The business owner is very clearly very knowledgeable
and skilled.

He performed several complex repairs in about 4 hours (this was next day!)

Cut into wall (necessary) and repiped an external spigot
Dismounted, cleaned under, and resealed and mounted a toilet
Repiped 2 sinks

My house's original piping is designed like a circus show and Jason really saved my Bacon!

I will be calling Southland Plumbing for my next plumbing project or emergency! I highly recommend them!

Thanks again Jason!

This is the first time using this company and the service was great!!  Called in the  morning and Mr. Travis was here by early afternoon. He is professional and knowledgeable.  If you're in need of quality plumbing services at a fair price, he's your man.  Would definitely call again.

We called on a Saturday because our toilet was backing up. While they couldn't make it that day they were free with their advise. Wasn't able to get anyone over the weekend, called back Monday morning and Karl answered and recognized the caller. The call was at 8 am and they were here by 9. They were very professional, effective and did the job and more for a fraction of what another famous company that advertises everywhere quoted us.
Very happy with the service. Deserve more than 5 stars.

We had a great experience with this company and we would highly recommend their services. They were responsive and most affordable. Vitaliy  came to our home several times now, and each time has been so professional and clean.

Be aware of some issues I had as a customer.
I had an appointment with Four Season with a 3 hour window...they didn't show and didn't even call...I had waited the 3 hours. I made another appointment because I needed three hose spigots repaired due to a little leaking. Perhaps new ones are needed?, I asked. The plumber said they were. He was so obese he had trouble reaching under the kitchen cabinet to take a look...so I held a flashlight for him and he looked from afar. He had such extreme body oder (not perspiration...more acrid than that) that it was hard to be near him to talk. I also needed a new thermostat installed in my shower...I had the part from the manufacturer. I asked how much it would be to install the thermostat..he quoted $374.00 and the new spigots would be $587.00 each...I needed 3 (wow!). He said I needed to cut into the walls to install cut-off valves for them, even though I can turn the water off for the building. He would have to cut holes in two of my interior walls and one wall under my kitchen cabinet 13 x 13 inches and I would have to hire a carpenter to put plates over the holes (pretty!), because they don't do carpentry. He had told me they would have to come back to do the work, since he wasn't a plumber...he said he was an assessor. Five times he said they needed 24 hour notice to others in the building (two other units). I told him (5 times) that the other units were aware and agreed to my turning off the water that day. Something was wrong...he was hard to understand and at times made no sense, it was hard to follow him. I told him I had hoped to get my shower fixed that day since I had the part...he then said he would install it...(he was a plumber after all!!). He had told us the prices and wanted to have a signature to OK the quote even if it was for a later date. I didn't notice he had changed the quote for the shower to $550.00, maybe after I signed. It took 45 minutes). He said he checked after installation and all was working perfectly. When he left...he had shut off the cold water to the shower in error and the water was 110 degrees and could not be turned down (Yikes!!!)  Later I asked him why the charge had changed from what he quoted. He told me it was because I wasn't doing all the work at once, since I decided to postpone the spigot work until later. (He hadn't told me that.) Another guy came the next day to correct his faulty work. This guy was great. A couple of days later, my neighbor had a handyman doing some work and I asked him to take a look. He said the spigots only needed a couple of cheap washers which were easy to install from the outside and showed me how to do it (scam alert!!!). Dealing with customer service was difficult too. They said they weren't known for being inexpensive! I eventually got a refund for the change in price from the verbal quote...but only after the mention of the BBB of Chicago. Previously, they just seemed to want to argue.
PersonalIy, I would never trust them. It seems that they are more interested seeing how much money they can get out of you than doing good honest work, which they didn't do either. I saved about $1800.00 by not doing the unnecessary work they suggested. Btw, my plumbing was only 20 years old and had been inspected by the city and passed. Everything was up to code.

I've used J Blanton Plumbing for a few of my properties and will be exclusively using them moving forward.  Extremely speedy service that is catered each of my needs.  No matter the plumbing issue that arise they provide multiple solutions and simplify my decision making process.  Couldn't have been easier to work with them and most bang for your buck.
