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.

Kevin was a pleasure to work with. We had some damage to our kitchen and bathroom from a leaky pipe and had Kevin out to do the repairs.  I couldnt be happier with the work he did.  He was knowlegable, friendly and got the job done.  He worked with my schedule to get the drywall and bathroom tiles replaced quickly even with the Thanksgiving holiday mixed in there.
He was able to come out to our house and give us an estimate and tell us exactly what he was going to do, how long it would take, and how much it would cost.  He finished the work within the time and budget quoted. Our kitchen and bathroom look like there was never any damage to begin with.  
I would definately recommend Kevin and will use him in the future for all our home improvements and repairs.

It was almost hard to believe the reviews for these guys, but I needed a plumber and reasonable always works for me.  Tom got here and knocked out both my jobs in under 45 minutes.  He had a hard time taking off a faucet flange, he said they often stick and if he couldn't get it off he would order a new one and cut it out.  Well he got it off, repaired the faucet and I'm back in business.  The person answering phones could not be nicer and more helpful.  Highly recommend.

We had a new garbage disposal installed in October of 2016, and InSink did a great job.  However the other day it fell off.   We called them since they installed it and they charged us $200 to put it back on.    I was stunned and reminded him that they installed it and all he said was that it was last October.   (10 months).  He was probably here 15 minutes.  I could not believe they charged us for something that was probably not installed correctly.   Even the guy himself said these things don't normally happen.  Unfortunately for me I am too timid to speak up.   So while they did what I thought was a good job initially, I'm not happy that they charged so much for 15 minutes work.  I hardly use it.   Not like I put watermelon rinds down into it either.

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.

I used Welter Plumbing a few times and they seem knowledgeable, the owner is very good, but I've only seen him once or twice when the young ones couldn't figure out what to do.  In my opinion they are very expensive, they are not upfront with the cost until you get the bill, they tend to suggest you replace other non related parts ($$$$ items), but what annoys me the most is that every time they fix something, like rodding a drain line(160) something else breaks, like the pipe they rodded, but according to them pipes break and crack (so another 180 to replace pipe that cracked during rodding).  Yesterday we had them over to see why a toilet wouldn't flush...the guy suggested we replace a part ($35 part + 145 labor), then after he replaced the part he said we can't flush the toilet because after taking a look at the sump pump (located in my laundry room and seems to me like it's running fine) should be replaced and it's the reason the toilet is not flushing (could be, but of course $$$$ to replace it) This morning I went to do laundry and now I have water on the floor from somewhere( btw the sump pump works just fine)...coincidence I'm sure (and the reason for this review). Also, if you hire them for a job, ask how much everything they suggest costs, including the labor  or you'll be shocked at the end.  Bottom line, the owner is very good and knows pipes like no other.  If you don't mind paying twice for the same job, 1st time to fix the problem and  2nd time to fix what broke the 1st time, then by all means, call them, but if you are like me and can't afford to pay a plumber twice for the same job, then call someone else who is up front with his cost and will give you warranty on his work.

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!

Called  Central 9/29 for a rusted out drain between the walls.  Chris came out on the 27th to look it over and Chris and Tom were there on the 28th fixing it. It wasn't easy being in the wall, they removed my dishwasher and broke open the wall so it was a tight squeeze.  Had a little issue with reinstalling the dishwasher, but after a few visits and going in a different direction, all went well.    All I can say is don't think twice about this company,

Go For IT!!!!!!

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

Why only four stars? Because they were not easy to find! For businesses that do such good work and employee good staff, they need to be well-known! Hopefully this will help to increase their name, fame and add to their bottom line. Excellent price, kept the appointment; did the job, was careful to do clean and neat work; and respected my property during ingress and egress.

Great experience working with All Affordable Plumbing! Juan was our plumber/technician that performed the work - he was early to arrive, professional & courteous, and did a thorough job with the work!

Our kitchen sink was gurgling and had a foul smell any time we'd run water or the dishwasher. Juan was able to use a rooter to clean out the pipes and no more smell or gurgling - problem solved! Very pleased with the service and would highly recommend using All Affordable Plumbing to anyone that is in need of plumbing services!

I've had Pat(owner) and Mike do work for me many times.  Recently we suspected a broken sewer line in a basement.  They brought the camera in and spent a half hr showing what caused the problem.  We set up a date. During the work the brought me down stairs to show what happen during each stage.  These guys take pride in doing a good job and are skilled and professional. I think they really like doing their work.  When my wife asked Mike why they didn't have a color sewer camera? Mike replied that he didn't need to distinguish peas from carrots  I paid a fair price.  Twice in past they helped me solve small problems at no charge

Walsh and Son Sewer are the best. I received excellent service from them. I thought their price was fair and reasonable. I am renovating my basement. They installed new plumbing in my basement for a bathroom and laundry room. I also had them change my galvanized water pipes to copper. John Walsh told me it would take 7 to 10 days and they finished in
8 days.

They set up the inspection and we're present when the Chicago inspector arrived. The plumbing passed inspection the first time.

The guys working for Walsh and Son were friendly and very thorough. They did more than I anticipated. Kudos to Walsh and Son Sewer.

Prices are outrageous, the staff I spoke with was inexperienced and lacking the knowledge, nobody available to help me. Just ridiculous

I am very thankful and grateful to Vilano plumbing, we had a situation where another contractor started the work and could not pass the city inspection, Vilano was highly recommended to me by a friend, so he came out and explained what was wrong, very knowledgeable, better than the inspector, he had to redo almost entire job but we passed inspection on the first time the inspector came back.
I highly recommend Eugen and his crew from Vilano Plumbing

Thiesse plumbing is two blocks away from my house.  Since moving in three years ago I have had a few plumbing issues and since Thiesse is so close to my house and I pass by their office frequently, their name comes to mind first when I have had these issues.  I'm writing this review today because I have never successfully received any services from them and I think that says a lot about their level of customer service.  

So, as a disclaimer, I cannot talk about how good or bad their services are, or how reasonable or unreasonable their prices are.  All I can say is that it is, as far as I can tell, impossible to get them to come to my house in the first place.

Incident #1 - my sewage pipe was leaking into my kitchen through the ceiling.  The toilet would not flush.  I have a one bathroom house, so this is my only toilet.  I called on a Monday and they told me no one could even come look at it until Friday.  So I said no  thank you because I can't really go all week without a working bathroom.  

Incident #2 (a few weeks later) - we got the toilet working again temporarily, but we needed a larger fix to repair the underlying issue. Part of the sewage pipe needed to be replaced and I had a plumber to fix it but I wanted to get another quote to be sure I wasn't getting ripped off.  I called and asked for a plumber to come give me an estimate.  I was told a plumber would call me back to schedule.  I never heard back from them, so I went ahead with the repair with someone else.

Incident #3 (two weeks ago) - we have had some basement flooding issues and are looking to install a sump pump or put in some other basement flood prevention.  I called and explained what I was looking for.  The woman who answered said that she would have a plumber call me to schedule.  I mentioned that my husband and I both work full time and we would need the appointment to be either in the evening after 5:00 or on a weekend.  She said that the plumbers might be able to accommodate my request and she would have them call me.  It has been two weeks and they have never even attempted to contact me.  

I feel that overall I have given Theisse plenty of opportunities to redeem themselves and they just keep proving to me over and over that they really don't want my business.  So instead of using the plumber who is two blocks away, I will be using the plumber from 10 miles away who answers his phone on the first call, listens to my problem and offers suggestions, and then offers to come out to my house after 6:00pm.

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 !!!
