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.

Spoke with Kevin for 1/2 an hour to explain some projects I'm interested in getting quotes for. Caulking a small area in the bathroom, clean and/or paint a brick fireplace and my main issue finding the source of a leak. He asked my availability to come over and look at these things and said he would check his calendar and call me the next day. It has been 3 weeks and no word from him. I'm guessing these projects were things he wasn't interested in doing.

Called due to a leaking hot water heater (cracked tank) and Alan was able to come out the same day to replace it. Super nice guy - took the time to explain care and maintenance of the unit while simultaneously working. Changed out the unit (which was under warranty) quickly despite a little confusion from the office. Big fan of Armbrust!

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. .

I contacted Adam Hadib with A1-Services.  He answered his phone, no voicemail. He asked for photos of the work we needed done, then he sent me back his reasonable quote.

He was able to come out the next day to install our shower door. (He was booked up all week after Sunday).

He did a wonderful job! He was very personable; kind;considerate, & honest.

We will definitely call him again if needed.

Call Adam first before you call anyone else !

Extremely Knowledgeable and of the Highest Integrity.

Rarely these days do you come across truly remarkable people in business who do the right thing for the customer, it is usually the opposite.  When I talked to Dan last week, I was truly impressed.

As a shade tree mechanic, I have fixed most things over the past 50 years. I had a leak in the shower that I tried to fix it and I could not stop the leak. I gave up and decided to call a professional to come fix it.

After calling Welter Plumbing, Dan asked us to send a few photos of the problem.  He called back a few minutes later and we talked briefly.  He gave me fantastic advice over the phone.  15 minutes later, I fixed the leak.

I am truly grateful for saving me hundreds of dollars on a service call and would highly encourage to reach out to Welter Plumbing for ALL your plumbing needs.

I have used these guys for years and they are terrific! They helped with the work associated with our addition several years ago and then we have used them for a variety of plumbing needs since.

They are very knowledgeable, fair, and they get the job done in the time they say they will. I absolutely trust the work they do.

These guys are the best plumbers in the Chicagoland area period. They show up with what they need always. Which means they dont have to come back and charge multiple times. Clean, punctual, cost effective. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I want the world to know that the guys at Pittman Plumbing and Sewer are my heroes.

I discovered a large puddle of water in my yard. Initially, i thought it was a leak from the lawn sprinkler system.  We dug up the area and found it was coming from a break in the sewer.

Immediately, i called several companies to get estimates for repair.  I most say, because this was an emergency repair, time for a fix was crucial. The trades men called were all known to me, so I was more trusting of their ability and the quotes than if they had been unknown.  

Thank God that I followed my cardinal rule of getting three quotes.  I would say, in emergencies it is MOST important because you are most vulnerable to pay any price quoted.  Able Sewers was the largest paniic seller with a price gouging total that they were UNWILLING ti negotiate.  

Thank God for Pittman Plumbing. They responded quickly, gave me their NON PANIC price and made the repair, upgraded my sewer service, cleaned up the area, leaving the ground smooth and undisturbed.

PITTMAN PLUMBERS AND SEWER are defitely my heroes.  Their price and

Wonderful service, came and replaced my bathroom faucet and repaired the turn off valves. Good costumer service and priced

All Affordable charged me much less for changing my water softener than Angel Water did. It was a good price and the whole process ran smooth and they were able to do it the same week I called!

Over 20 years ago, Tim's dad came out and did the job that 3 others could not for a fair price.  It's been the same to this point.  Can't say enough good things.

Four weeks after a great install of two sump pumps, I was happy to call them after finding significant water in my basement. He said he'd make it that day and call. No call. Much later, I called back and he said he'd get back to me. No call. The next day, he said he'd be there in three days. It's now three days and no call.....with water in my basement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

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

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 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 !!!
