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 really recommended the Welter Home Services and believe me, you won't be disappointed  with their job!

quick and excellent service- only issue is cost - plumbers don't come cheap

When my old kitchen sink faucet started leaking for a second time (it was first fixed by a general handyman) , I knew I needed to replace it and call in a professional plumber!

Unfortunately, my preferred plumber was on vacation and not available.  InSink made it easy to make an appointment.  I located a replacement sink, and Adam came and installed it. He was on time and professional.  While he was there, I told him about the issues I was having and asked about the compatibility with the new sink.  He patiently answered all of my questions.  He was even patient with my young children, who were enamored by his tools and the work that he was doing.

I would be happy to use InSink in the future.

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 !

Love these guys.  Basement backing up. They made an emergency call.  Worked late.  Then came back in the morning to put an external access point in. Pulled permits and everything. Good pricing. Cheaper than their quote. We had the roots grow back in 3 months. They came back and rodded the out at no cost. These guys are it from here on out.

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 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.

We are the type of people who like to ensure that area businesses are patronized, thereby retaining money in our community, so, we always contact area businesses/contractors no matter our needs or the size of the project. In this instance, and being totally fair, we want to describe our description of work we wanted to be done, how it was addressed, and our experience with this company.

Last year we needed to replace an exterior ejector/sump pump, rod, and clear exterior run-off/rainwater pipes and have a first-floor toilet replaced. We called Pittman, which is located less than a mile from us. We made an appointment after explaining our needs. They called to confirm the appointment, arrived promptly and reviewed our job. A gentleman who identified himself as a partner in their family-owned business provided us an estimate including the service charge. We had already purchased the ejector/sump pump and the Kohler toilet that we wanted to be installed and asked them to use those products/materials. However, in adding the rodding job we realized that either he was joking or simply didn't want to do the work by making the charge entirely too high - by hundreds of dollars. As for the toilet - we didn't have much of a choice since it would create a hardship not having a bathroom available for use. After finishing the job we asked why their prices were so high. The gentlemen actually laughed while suggesting that if we wanted less than quality work we could pay less.

Several weeks later, we discovered we had a clog in our upstairs bathroom drain, which stopped the vanity and the tub. We called Pittman, told them the problem and they dispatched a crew. We explained to them that we also wanted to have a new Kohler tub drain assembly installed since the original one had already been removed. They removed the clog in a matter of minutes, using an air pressure device and cleared some debris from the p-trap under the vanity. I reminded him about the tub drain assembly to which the gentleman replied that I had the wrong part(s), that it could not be installed and to call him when I actually knew what I was talking about. His manner was condescending and dismissive even as he suggested that he was willing to drop the service charge associated with the visit. I asked him to reconsider installing the device since I was certain that I had ordered the correct part(s) assembly. He declined. We paid them, and they left. I ended up installing the device myself within an hour, thereby concluding that either he didn't know what he was talking about or, once again, he simply didn't want to do the job.

Fast forward to one week ago. A property we owned required the unstopping of a tub drain. We called Pittman, set up an appointment, explained our needs, and met them the next day on the job site. The crew examined the situation but were ultimately unsuccessful after working on it for just over an hour. One of the gentlemen explained that the configuration of the pipes, trap, and drain prevented them from clearing the blockage using conventional means. He stated that he wasn't sure, but believed that the only way he could clear the pipe was to cut the wall of an adjacent bedroom, the floor and the kitchen ceiling beneath the bathroom in order to access the pipes, remove and replace them - all without guarantee of success and adding that they would not be responsible for replacing or repairing the damage done as a result of their work.

We were stunned. but accepted that the work would have to be done.
He sketched out several confusing diagrams to explain his assessment and how it could be fixed. He also included an estimated price/cost - a very high one ($1300.00 to $1500.00) for the job alone. We greenlighted the job provided that he would present us with a formal/detailed proposal. He responded that the document would be ready by that evening of the next day but he would not be able to start work until two days later. We asked how he would be able to properly convey an accurate description of the problem/solution to his co-worker without him seeing the job. He claimed it wouldn't be a problem.

We were not contacted as promised, no email or message was sent. We called Pittman's offices. They claimed not to know about the project, would search it out and call back. They did not and they still have not reached out to us.

The least they could have done is told us they did not want to do the job - for whatever reason. They are very unprofessional in that regard, even if you are a repeat customer. Not being direct and honest with a customer is not the way to go.

As an aside, we found another contractor - outside the neighborhood - who determined that the job could be done for over $500.00 dollars less and retains references/contact with contractors who assess and repair damages resulting from their work. They promptly provided a detailed assessment and estimate, to begin work almost immediately.

Draw your own conclusions!

Being a first time homeowner I didnt know where to start with the plumbing issue I was having. I found Simon Plumbing service to be highly recommended on many different posts throughout the Oak Forest Community FB page and then saw all the positive comments on Yelp which lead me to make Simon service my first call out to a plumber. I called right when the office open at 7am and Tedd answered immediately. I explain my problem to him and he knew exactly what was going on. He was at my home within the hour and sure enough found the problem and knew how to solve it. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. He answered any question I had and was very transparent with everything that was going on. My plumbing problem was not small nor an easy fix but he got the job done all in one day. He is truly a life saver! Also he didnt take advantage of my situation and charge me an affordable amount. Great work!

We hired these plumbers to do a whole house re- piping. If you need that job done, call these people.  They are a job-done option: they will pull down walls, replace plumbing,  and put the walls back up. (huge because getting contracters to put up drywall after the fact would be difficult).

It was a big job and they made it very easy. We got multiple estimates and the price was fair. The owner has a straightforward, serious, honest manner, the type you would trust to babysit your kids. We were very comfortable spending money with this company and are happy with the results.

Thank you Ann for getting my plumbing emergency scheduled and for dealing with my impatience. Also thanks to Joe and Dan for excellent 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've used Thiesse Plumbing a few times now for some minor repairs and issues around the house.  They have always been courteous and knowledgeable during service calls.  They also seem honest.  We have been happy with their work and would use them again if needed.

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!
