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 Welter of Welter Home Services is outstanding!  We've had him to our house twice now to complete projects ranging from hanging a stained glass window pane to replacing light switches to fixing our storm door so that it latches properly.  And so much more.  He always comes up with great solutions to problems with our house we thought we'd never be able to solve!  For instance, he noticed damage to our hardwood floor in the entryway and after asking a few questions about what we would like to see done, he laid out a common sense plan to repair it that would be simple and cost effective.  Eureka, I say!  That's just the type of person we need on-call to help us as we muddle through home ownership.  We are relieved to have found such a competent, hardworking, and reasonably priced handyman whom we can TRUST in Mt. Prospect.  We also have received some great referrals from him for our fireplace repairs/upkeep and our pending driveway and patio project.  We are THRILLED to have found him!  To say we highly recommend Welter Home Services is an understatement.  He is essential around here!

We have enjoyed over 15 years of great service from Armbrust! And they continue to 'keep the bar high'. Recently, our air conditioner went out and I placed a service call with Armbrust. They are so professional and even emailed me a picture of our service technician Jeff, so we would know what he looked like when he came to the door. Nice! Jeff arrived right on time and was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Great guy who educated us in a meaningful way (pointing out several good suggestions) and was super polite and fun! Would have him back in a heartbeat. Thanks Jeff and Armbrust!

We needed to have our sewer replaced from the house to the street.  It could not be lined as it was sagging, so excavation was required.  Gary, Jr. and Gary, Sr. (owners) gave us a reasonable price and prompt service.  The job took much longer than they expected due to several abandoned sewer lines and drainage tiles that were discovered and had to be investigated.  They did a great job, both with the work and in dealing with the Village of Lombard because of unforeseen complications with the connection to the sewer under the street.   We did pay a bit more than the original quote due to all the extra time involved, but they could easily have asked for much more and it would have been justified.

A lot of plumbers will hit you up for all sorts of extras and try to scam you (just look at the Yelp reviews for some of these other companies), but these guys are very straight forward and easy to work with.  We highly recommend them.

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.

We had Welter plumbing over last week to fix a problem with a toilet, had no issues and it was fixed at a reasonable price.  A few days ago the chain fell off another toilet and we had to turn the water off to fix it, when we turned it back on we had a leak that would not stop.  I called the next morning for service and when I explained the issue they told me it was a loose bolt and had us try to tighten it before they came out and to our surprise ( we are not the least bit handy) it worked !  I want to thank Welter for their honesty, it showed us that they are a company that can be trusted  and they will not BS you into service calls or work that is not necessary.  This company gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !  Thank you...

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!

Our 21 years old powder room faucets were leaking & I tried to replace the cartridges for the hot water & cold water myself... Long story short- without the right tools for the job, I called Central Plumbing in Arlington Heights, who have done work for me in the past. TJ, who was very knowledgeable/professional, came out and fixed the leak and answered all my questions. If anyone needs a plumber let me know. I gotta guy!

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

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!

They were able to set my toilet the same day I called, which was awesome. And he did a good job, explained the problem, answered questions, executed the job quickly. The price seems high to set a toilet, but based on other reviews, I went with them since they were so convenient and I'm hoping that's the going rate. Kind of wish they wore shoe covers inside since it was rainy outside, but it is what it is.

Major downside is they had to write down my card information, and that makes me really uncomfortable. I saw this in a previous review, but I figured that if the system was just down that day, the chances I would have that issue would be low. Guess not.

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

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.

I don't like bog box stores. Roaming the aisles for hours trying to find the one employee that is both present and in possession of a brain. I like finding the good supply houses and dealing with them. My last job was a replacement of an ejector pump at my dad's house. Not a rosey job by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the sort of thing that is nice when you get it done. When I walked into Harlem Plumbing I made it clear. I don't want lousy china crap that breaks in three days. The folks behind the counter knew precisely what I was talking about. They did a fantastic job. I had my list, I knew what I needed, I knew the calculations, head loss, applicable codes....but they were ready to help and had some great advice and stories. In modern times, the word expert is now exclusively used to describe talking idiots on TV, I must say that the folks at harlem plumbing are master tradesmen (and women?). They also have a good throughflow of top notch local plumbers. There was nothing intimidating or condescending about the interaction. the folks were prompt, professional, friendly. Where the smart one at the big box store watches a 30 minute youtube video as training, these folks had been in the trade all of their lives. I left absolutely certain that I had the right stuff and the job would be done right. I can't say that for the happy, shiny, lucky, golden store brands at the big box stores. That experience is more along the lines of god, I hope this crap works. Harlem Plumbing is a solid local supply house with great people. I can't say it enough. Rock on Harlem Plumbing! Please don't stop or sell out to the corporate pukes. The service you provide is much needed and appreciated.

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

I have used them before, a little pricey but did the job.  I called them for major plumbing work.  They came out looked it over and seemed interested in the job.  After that I could not get them to call me back or talk to me.

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!
