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.

Welter Home Services has made repairs to my home for the past five years. The work is always done meticulously, and quality materials are used. The owner is easy to communicate with and responsive to special requests. Hassle-free customer service!

Happy New Year ...... and we have no heat on the second floor! I called Armbrust Heating and within the hour Jeff came out to our home, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. We now have heat and I am overjoyed at the care and professionalism shown to us by Jeff. We are life-long Armbrust customers and I can't thank Jeff enough for handling this situation so expertly! I kept apologizing for calling him out on a freezing cold holiday, no less,  and he could not have been  kinder or more gracious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jeff! You are the BEST!!!!

I had a leaking showerhead, meaning that the Moen cartridge in the handle needed to be replaced. I've done it before, but it can be a major project for a novice plumber. InSink provided a reasonable quote which I accepted, I scheduled an appointment, and their plumbers actually showed up a few minutes early on the day I scheduled. Gary and Joey were friendly and professional, completed the job in about an hour, and cleaned up when they were done. I highly recommend.

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.

Eric and Victor were here today and we can't even begin to say how happy we are . We actually had two other  plumbers out in the past 6 months and Eric is the one who did things correctly and solved all our problems and made complete sense . He told us things and found things for us that the other two companies didn't even think about.  These guys are definitely our new plumbers from now on and we are just thrilled .The price was awesome too.  Our neighbors recommended them to us and others in our neighborhood are using them and it's clear why . We purchased this new home in November and we had so many plumbing issues and concerns . Eric and Victor did camera work and actually got out to the main line, inspected and worked on our catch basin, found where kitchen piping leads , implemented ideas about  how to make sure certain piping was what they thought it was , inspected our ejector pit , gave us advice on bathroom issues we were having , FOUND our flood conTrol system that nobody else cared enough to find nor could find , went down into it , explained our old system to us and recommended what type of electrical we needed to make sure our pumps stay working and told us how to maintain our systems  , told us about the different systems our neighbors have and why they are the way they are , I could go on and on . But suffice to stop here and say I cant tell you how relieved we are to finally on our 3rd try find this company and these men.  They also are very kind and caring and love what they do. It was obvious . Epic crew and company ! Thank you Eric and Victor.

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!

Excellent and professional service from start to finish!  I highly recommend this plumbing company.  I received a very prompt return call at the start and sound advice/recommendations over the phone.  Thank you Tom!  On the scheduled date, the plumber arrived perfectly on time.  Go Chris!  He was courteous, efficient, professional and clean! I am so pleased with this company, especially after having had a negative experience in the past with a different company.  I had a new food disposal and shower head installed, a toilet repaired and a few other odds and ends. I echo the sentiments of the other reviewers - these are your go to guys for excellent service at fair prices!  Thank you Central Plumbing!

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

I would like to take a moment and thank this company. I have a grease trap that backed up. It was full of grease. I had a company come out(not these guys) and remove the grease. They drain was not going down. He charged me $140 to tell me he recommends using a mechanic snake after 15 minutes..
That's done so long story short Simon plumbing came out and actually spent about a hour and snaked out my line for me. They charged a great price and he did it in the rain. It's pouring outside today. I couldn't be happier.
Good job guys.

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.

Always professional and customer oriented. Tim, Mike, and staff are the ones we call!

in the past, I'm pretty sure I've had the worst plumbers in the Chicago area, and now I'm so glad I've found the best with Walsh & Son.  In the past couple of years, John has come to my house three times: this week for a damaged outside hose faucet and pipe; another time for toilet problems, etc.  He has always been professional, knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and neat . . . and his price is more than fair. In short, he is everything you hope a plumber to be.  I rarely write reviews:  only for the very best, and the worst.  If you call Walsh & Son, you're getting the very best!

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 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 !!!
