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.

Bathroom remodel project a success thanks to Kevin!  Call him for your next home project needs.

Alan C. made a plumbing repair painless.  What I thought was going to be a major repair was a small one done in under an hour.  He was respectful and professional to me and my home.  This is my second time using this company and I will never go elsewhere.  I know I can trust them and the associates they hire.

So the pilot light went out on my hot water heater.
It's happened before and I was able to start it after trying a number of times.
This time I could see that there was no flash to light the burner.
Otherwise, the tank looks great and had no other problems that I know about.
I knew that this water heater could be repaired, which is why I had problems finding a plumber to fix it.
I have learned that many plumbing contractors really don't want to repair your water heater even though they advertise that they do.
I had several plumbers out to see the water heater and both told me, without even touching the water heater, that
a.   the unit was over 8 years old; and
b.   it could not be repairs; or
b.   the gas valve was broken and repairs would be between $ 500 and $ 600.
Also, I thought the unit was younger, but I never looked it up as I believed what I was told.
Bottom line, I believe many plumbers really don't want to do small jobs but would rather sell you a new unit.
Then, I call InSink Plumbers out of Carol Stream, Illinois,
owned by Sr. and Junior, the son, who came to my house.
Here's what he told me:
a.    Yes I like to make repairs to water heaters.
b.    No your hot water heater is under six years old.
c.    Yes the warranty for parts expires in November of 2018.
d.    No the gas valve is not broken.
e.    Yes the water heater looks good and could/should last for several more years; and
f.     No you don't need a new water heater because I can repair it right now.
30 minutes later he gets it started and charged me 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of a new unit.
InSink, remember that name.  Old school honest plumbers.

We had an emergency service call the day after Thanksgiving and Adam came out after three other prior service calls late at night.  He was very personable and helpful, answering all our questions and educating us at the same time.  Our immediate issue is resolved but if we need further guidance, we will reach out to him again.

Our kitchen drain pipe behind a wall cracked and leaked into our basement.  On 6/22 Jesus and Johnny came, they had to pull the dishwasher away from the wall, cut into the wall and cut out the broken pipe. The new pipe was installed in 2 hours, afterwards the guys cleaned and vacuumed the work area.  The guys were knowledgeable and friendly. We are happy with Welter's service and price point. We've been using Welter for over 25 years.

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!

These guys are awesome! Arrive when they say they will arrive...which, for a last minute emergency call, was above and beyond appreciated. Shout out to Rob and TJ for making time for us during our plumbing disaster. We have worked with Central plumbing on numerous occasions and they have been pleasure to do business with. Feel like when I call I am talking to family and they have my back. Can't say enough good things about this company. You guys are doing it right. Keep it up!!

Pittman Plumbing is excellent.  The entire team (Don, Ernest, Liddell, and the younger son) far exceeded my expectations. There are many adjectives that describe this company-- professional, caring, attentive, and focused. They had to remove old pipe, troubleshoot, and install new piping for my home.  They were efficient, reliable, and most importantly, they finished the job when they said they would (unlike most contractors).  They are my plumbers for life!! Nicely done.

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.

What wasn't perfect?  On time, high quality work, great suggestions and my house was cleaner when they left when they got there.  

I did a full house repipe. The crew came in like a well oiled machine and they didn't stop until they were done.  They patched all the holes in the walls on day 2 and they are smooth and like there was never a hole in them.

Additionally, we had a full bathroom demo and remodel.  They were thorough, explaining to me what to expect, timelines and even suggestions on brands of fixtures and tile placement.  I'm thrilled with the end result.  The bathroom is gorgeous and we Now have great water pressure.  

Horatio and his team are nice people who care about their customers and their homes.  I'd use them again without hesitation.  Oh, and the cost was extremely reasonable.

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

We have used Walsh and Son Sewer for a number of issues and have never been disappointed.  They are  punctual, clean and professional.  I've never had to call back for additional service on an issue.  I would use them again and again.

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.

Thiesse Plumbing is the real deal!  They get how to do business and do it right..  We used them last year for rodding out our basement to the street to excellent results. This after making the mistake of calling giant Roto-Rooter! If you're looking for the best no nonsense, honest, knowledgable, and customer service plumbing company- call Thiesse!  Will definitely use them again should the need occur.

Horrible customer service.  I was in need of assistance, looking for a part for my toilet and was not assisted in a friendly manner.  I was the only woman in line and was treated in a demeaning manner, even the other men waiting for assistance laughed at the customer service rep assisting me, guess if you are a woman, in a man's plumbing world you are considered a joke.  I would never recommend this store to anyone!
