Best Businesses in Illinois

we had a sewer issue that was very challenging to solve, they never quit. In my previous experience with other companies they never would have tried to solve the problem so diligently. They kept thinking and working for several days, and ultimately solved the problem, and at a very reasonable price. Christian and his manager Dave really treated my home as if it was their own These guys are great! They really made my day today !

Professional, kind and integrity are my impression of Shannon. He was recommended by a friend of my wife and I really thank God for him. I called him to fix the broken hot water faucet connecting to washing machine. My dryer was broken and I ordered a set of washer and dryer. I did not know that I got a broken faucet until I disconnect everything in preparing for the new washer but the installers did not want to do anything with the washer because of it and just left. I tried to connect myself but can not get it work. Called Shannon to fix the faucet for me so that I can have the service people in again to install the washer for me. Because of the ages of my house, the new faucet does not fit. Thanks God that Shannon fixed them all for me so quick and clean and connect the washer for me and have everything ready for me as courtesy. I also asked him to fix the broken valve that controls the incoming water pipe in the basement, which I knew about a couple years ago. He fixed it so quick and clean and the cost was very reasonable. Even better than what the handyman quoted me years ago. I am so glad that I don't need to worry about who to call for the plumbing related works anymore. I enjoy his whistling too. I think he is gifted in that and it really smooth my troubling heart ( days without washer and dryers and dirty cloths piled up ... ). If you worry about the cost of a professional plumber and thinking of getting a handy man but worry whether he/she can do a good job or not, you don't need to anymore. Just call Shannon.

Called Paul on super bowl Sunday when hot water heater broke. After a few pics of our unit , he got back to me wirh an estimate and availability the very next morning. Was timely and professional and explained everything we needed to know. Would definitely recommend !

I needed to satisfy the village code of Elmwood Park because I sold my house. I already had a membership with Larry's Plumbing, so I called for their approximate rates.  When I was told the cost would be around $800 (with the member 20% discount, mind you) at the minimum, I immediately started asking around.  Our handyman told us to call Forte Plumbing.  They're local, have a great relationship with the surrounding villages, and they couldn't be nicer people to deal with.  Best of all, they told me they could do the work for $250! When they came to do the work, it took them 4 hours.  STILL only charged me $250, even though it was certainly more work than expected.  I would have happily paid more.  I wish Forte serviced the far western suburbs -- when you find a good plumber, you should never let them go!  Thank you Carmen and Michael!

One star only because they did come to our home fast! But of course they would knowing they would take advantage of new homeowners. Rescue plumbing? Not one bit. They charged almost $2000 for rodding. A service that ABC plumbing/ cooling etc did for $93.
We had to call again due to the issue not being resolved after this company came to fix our problem.
We called and spoke to owner on why it was so expensive and he quickly came to the rescue of his own workers KNOWING we were gouged. He refunded a small amount back but they were not very nice and will never call again.
I hope no one gets taken advantage of by them.

Our sump pump broke down, and we noticed a small leak in our basement.  We called on Sunday Morning and Dominick was available and able to show up within two hours.  He replaced our system quickly at a very reasonable price and was very helpful.  Will definitely be using Dominick for any future issues and recommending to all of our friends and family.

Pete was very responsive to my late-night online inquiry about my plumbing problem and since I had the water off in the house he actually responded by email in the middle of the night AND called me first thing in the morning to follow up.  We shared some photos and he was at my house by 9 and done before within the hour.  I would not hesitate to call Burr Oak again.
Pete also had a discussion about antiques with my wife which made them both excited. : )

A new washing machine supply valve was replaced behind the wall.

We have been using Ray as our plumber for 15 years. He's gotten us through some nasty plumbing problems. He's quick to respond to calls. His work is dependable. His prices are reasonable. But today, he earned a permanent place in my heart: he hooked up an icemaker for me!! I love ice in my drinks and hate making it in ice trays. Now, I won't have to thanks to Ray.

Hmm, Called them for a quote after seeing all of the good reviews. This was for moving some pipes on a gutted master bath, to which they said they charge a $29 fee to come out. All the while I am getting free quotes from other plumbers on the project.

I can't review the quality of work here because I didn't go them, but no thanks to that!

I guess the $35 yelp service coupon doesn't apply to that either they said..

My sump pump broke in the middle of the night.  Anna gave me guidance on what to look for in getting service, even though they didn't have availability for me.  Very kind.  Then Anna called back in 1/2 hour to say they had a cancellation and I was able to get my flooding problem addressed.  Mike came and was great.  Efficient.  And explained things to me.  Also gave me guidance on what to watch for and certain things to do going forward.  I am so appreciative of both Anna and Mike.   And lucky I found them by chance.  Thank you.

Not sure what the hype is about this company. They came late outside of the promised time, no heads up, no phone call whatsoever. And the guy wasn't friendly to us. Price is not cheap either. 5 star? Hell NO!!

We recently had a leak in our kitchen ceiling, coming from a bathroom upstairs.  Courtesy Plumbing was quick to respond and was able to come out that same day to give us a quote.  Jason was kind and professional and was able to identify the source of the problem.  I would recommend Courtesy Plumbing and plan to use them in the future if needs arise.

Extremely nice, professional, punctual, and did a great job. I highly recommend his services!

They were great! I had a gas leak and needed a plumber to fix right away to turn my gas back on. They even gave me an estimate and fixed my pipes in 1 morning. The work was great quality as well.

Mike was quick to respond to my need for an urgent plumbing situation where the bathroom tub faucet would not work so the water kept flowing.  We had to turn off all the water in the house.  He arrived promptly on time, wore a mask given COVID and discovered a faulty part of the valve that was not working. He replaced it quickly and efficiently, also being guiding us in turning back the water on and explaining what the problem was.  Mike is extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. So grateful he came so quickly given the holiday week.  We were not inconvenienced for long.  I highly recommend him.

I've used these folks for 20 plus years and have always found them to be prompt, thorough and knowledgeable. My house has the usual and unusual array of plumbing issues and the problems we've had were sometimes simple and occasionally complex. Things were always explained thoroughly and the work done promptly and well! My neighbor referred me to them and told me she'd used a variety of companies over the years and found these folks to be reliable and consistent! I agree with her wholeheartedly! Thanks Dave Soltwisch!

NOT 24\7. Called - had appt. between 1-7pm.  Several calls we were assured that we were still scheduled. Last call at 6:45 and still assured we were on the schedule. Husband went to door and discovered a 4 seasons sticker on the door! Unknown to us they came and our garage door was open so they had to know someone was home. Called and was told they came by - knocked and called and no one was home! Then they stated they did not have anyone to send out until tomorrow. Waited for 7 hours for nothing. Canceled appt. I have breathing issues and have been affected by this. Poor treatment of customers.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY, for anything!!!  Charges $125 to walk in your door, whether you hire him or not.  Was told on phone when I made the appointment, if I hired them the $125. would be waived.  I assumed that meant deducted from bill.  NO... it did not!!!   I found Ed the Plumber information in our church bulletin and expected them to be trustworthy, honest and reasonable.  Quote was $498.00 to replace my kitchen faucet (which I purchased separately).  Since I choose NOT to hire them I had to pay the $125. !!  

Next day I hired someone else and paid $175.00 TOTAL for this simple job.

This guy is a thief and using the church bulletin to rake in the $$$. I had to ask about the parishioner discount and then ask for senior discount, which only reduce the quote to $438.00.  Ridiculous, definitely out for the bucks and not to earn a good reputation.

Where to even begin.....

We hired Tim Shey, the owner, to do some plumbing work. Initially he came off as being a normal tradesmen... His bedside manor was a little abrasive but not so bad that I didn't think to not use him.

Well, I wish I would have cut ties the moment I picked up on that abrasiveness b/c my experience with him turned out to be an absolute nightmare. My experience with him was absolutely abusive and for no reason. For a long time i asked myself what I did to deserve him being so rude and disrespectful and then I finally realized that I did nothing at all to deserve the treatment bestowed upon us.

On top of the abuse, here I am, months later and i've had issue after issue with the plumbing. Very basic things were missed. Most recently, we had to hire a plumber to come out to fix one of the toilets he installed. Lord knows how long it's been leaking but I happed to notice one day that water was leaking out the back every time the toilet was flushed. It turns out that he didn't install it correctly as the top wasn't tighten to the base. The damage this has caused ....... I wonder if he did it purposely? I really do.... We also have had issues with every faucet he installed. Every single one had to be reinstalled. Additionally, one of the shower heads was leaking . That was another plumber visit. I keep going on and on with the issues but I'm sure you get the point.

This was not my personal experience but I spoke to another person who hired him who needed an additional week to pay him for his services and instead of waiting, he went to her home, pushed himself through her door and ripped out all of her plumbing so that she couldn't access any water! Who does that!

Please note that this was my personal experience with Tim. I'll never understand why I didn't just ask him to leave my condo the minute he was disrespectful.
