Best Businesses in Illinois

Friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.  We needed a handyman to come and re-attach our stove hood that fell off the wall the previous night.  Andrew was here the next morning and fixed it better than before.  Would definitely use him again.

I emailed & spoke with Kevin regarding adding an electric car charger in the garage.  He went above and beyond in explaining my options along with providing a bit of education on the topic along with discussing the pros and cons of various configuration options.  The call lasted about 15 minutes and I was left well informed of my next steps.  His quote was also in line with what others charge.

I hired them to repair a frozen pipe in my sprinkler system. They did the job and after they were done they told me about something else that needed to be done - replace the reduced pressure zone device, which made the repair the just did unnecessary, as the pipe would be replaced with the new RPC. I would rather have made the decision to do the replacement and avoid paying $200 for nothing.

I have unfortunately needed plumbing work twice in the last six months. Used this company twice and was satisfied with the service and fee seemed fair.  Both times they were prompt, polite and did a good job. The men made sure not to make a mess, then cleaned up. Explained what work was needed and gave me a fair estimate before doing the work. I would definitely use them again. .

Loved guy showed up in a mask. He was polite, efficient and prompt. I plan to have him do some work for me after the thanksgiving holiday.

We had kind of an emergency with the sudden onset of a plugged sewer line. Probably my fault for not taking care of regular maintenance but, regardless, I called and they were able to send someone within a half hour. The line hadn't been rodded for several years but they were able to get the line open and flowing. Not an easy job but done as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Needless to say, I was expecting the worst when the bill was totaled but discovered it was reasonable, especially given the short notice on the job.

These guys are so great! We've had them do work twice at our home. They took all of the necessary precautions due to COVID. They are timely, reliable, and get the job done well. Couldn't ask for more!

Central Plumbing guys were great!  I called on Monday morning (Columbus Day) and they were at my house by 11am. They used their camera to check our storm water drains, saw the blockage and rodded out massive amounts of roots. SO much better than the other company I had out in November to install (badly and at an angle) a clean out pipe and rod. They were polite, friendly and a explained everything very clearly. Sumps are now sending water to the ditch again instead of recycling in the pit. I am much relieved. Highly recommended.

This guys are really wonderful! Very friendly and honest. Very very reasonable prices. All of them are actual plumbers. Not 20 year apprentices.

What can I say, The fine folks at Simon have been my go to for any an all plumbing related issues for years.

From installing a cleanout and rodding that main line annually, to installing new fixtures both inside and out, to the most recent service, cleaning out a drain for my washing machine, I've always been satisfied.

Ill look forward to having them respond promptly, efficiently and with reasonable pricing after a full explanation of the service required.

The father, and Todd and Josh, also the young lady who does customer service, and especially Wayne, the drain fixer extraordinaire, have us as  customers for life.

Great work folks.

All Affordable Plumbing was All Good, they were on time, proficient in their work, reasonably priced. After the job was completed they explained the warranty and cleaned the work area up so well you would never know they were there. Highly recommended.

I was in a bind regarding a plumbing issue on Jun 4th, they came out looked at job and said we can't service you until Jun 8th that they were very busy. They came out, they were on time and friendly. It was a small job and they were done in less than an hour. They did quote me prior to the job with an allowed time of 2hrs. The job was done in less than an hour. Materials were $45.00 and Labor was $195.00. I thought that was high, $195.00 for an hour. I would shop around next time for better price and quicker service.

The absolute best people to call for any plumbing problems. They are quick, efficient and friendly. They are also a family run business that will not price gouge you. They are knowledgeable and clean up after they are done. They have done a very large job and a couple small jobs for us and each time we have been completely satisfied. I will continue to use them whenever a plumbing issue should arise. Call them first!

Over priced and items do not have prices on shelf. Never fully in stock of all supplies. Unprofessional. And lastly the worst part is no money back if you need a refund. Only store credit which sucks cause now you have to buy more stuff from them if you don't want to. So you have to know what your buying the first time if not your out of money. Then given a sob story that the other day they tried a refund and it took them 4hrs to do it which is a lie or they are super outdated on their cash register/payment structure. Never again will I shop here. Needs new management and prices to be fair. And more knowledgable associates. BBB has been informed aswell.

He was responsive but was going back and forth with the numbers. We didn't have a good experience with this business. We paid for the service to show up but didn't use him for further repair. I would highly suggest to go with other plumber.

We hired Thiesse to remedy a problem in our basement that was being caused by the city sewers backing up during heavy storms. They recommended installing an ejector pit, into which all the basement piping (floor drain, laundry tub, etc.) would be plumbed. This in turn would eliminate the open drains that the city sewer was backing up into.

After they did the work, we noticed backups in the main stack & immediately notified the company of the problem. They came out again & spent a couple hours rodding the sewer line immediately outside the area they'd worked on days earlier, then told us they couldn't find anything wrong but we should break open the main sewer outside the house, as it was likely blocked or collapsed. (Huh?) We declined this, since we had never had a problem with it prior to the work they did in the basement. We paid almost $500 for this rodding & diagnosis, by the way - this was in addition to the money we paid to have the ejector pit installed.

About a week later, I went into the basement & noticed another backup around the floor drain & water again leaking out of the joints in the main stack a few feet above the floor. This led me to believe the blockage was inside the house. My wife called Thiesse & asked they come out yet again to fix the problem.

When they arrived, they brought their sewer foreman with them - someone who had never seen the house or the work previously done. He proceeded to try to rod the line inside the house, but kept hitting an obstruction beneath the floor. He broke the floor open (this after we had already had it patched after their previous efforts) & determined the plumbers who'd installed the ejector pit had inadvertently filled the main line leading outside with hydraulic cement. His words were looks like we caused the problem.

They returned the next day & removed the clogged pipe, breaking out even more of the concrete floor in the process. Sewage finally flowed again, but Thiesse had the audacity to send us another bill for fixing the problem they had created! We told them in no uncertain terms we would not be paying the bill & they became very hostile, claiming WE had somehow caused the problem.

Our experience was among the worst I've ever had with a company & I would never, under any circumstances, recommend them. Buyer beware.

My family has a couple of old brick buildings , we been doing business with South Chicago  Plumbing , since 1976. Great knowledge, very friendly, and most of all a great inventory of parts and supply for older buildings . They have the parts and supply that you cannot find any where around Chicago.  They recommend other shops if they don't have the parts. Now that's true business !!!
