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 will soon be doing phase two of repairs for me.  Phase one was amazing.  I gave him a list and he and his team blew threw tile, doors, plumbing, etc.  The processes were all explained and he is professional in all communications.  You are going to hire an ethical pro here, what else can you ask for.  He will make 100% sure you are a happy camper when all s done too.  Again, his work is so good, I hired him back for round 2.  I am selling my home and only trust him to repair the things needed to make it ready for market.

I hired them to repair a frozen pipe in my sprinkler system. They did the job and after they were done they told me about something else that needed to be done - replace the reduced pressure zone device, which made the repair the just did unnecessary, as the pipe would be replaced with the new RPC. I would rather have made the decision to do the replacement and avoid paying $200 for nothing.

A clogged toilet and over flowing ejector pit on New Year's Eve...InSink quickly returned our call and was to our home in less than 20 minutes. The problem was quickly diagnosed and explained in layman's terms. They presented multiple options to choose from to fix the problem and were wrapped up in about 2 hours. All things considered, we were charged a more than fair overtime and emergency call out rate, and the charge for parts and labor was in line with our expectations. InSink will be our go-to plumbing service from now on.

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 !

I had a sewage backing up into the tub. Called Welter Plumbing, Inc, they came out first thing the next day, I didn't consider it an emergency, or feel I needed same day service. The rodded from my crawlspace and got the clog, the toilet wipes were the culprit as they expected before they started. They got it flowing strongly again and cleaned up the tub. I also had them replace a splash guard in the disposal. So I can cross plumbing issues off my list or household issues for a while.

You will be hard pressed to find more responsive, professional or diligent plumbers in the western suburbs. They stopped by within 3 hours of my phone call, resolved the issue and were reasonably priced on top of it. Will absolutely use them again if needed.

I discovered a water leak in my basement ceiling. I found Central Plumbing on Yelp and Angies List, and gave them a call. Chris came out, found the leak and made the repair. Chris is friendly and professional. He works quickly and cleans up after he is done.
I was so impressed that I asked him about replacing my water heater.
He got me a quote and i told him to go ahead with the job for tomorrow.
He came out when he said he would and with an assistant took out the old water heater and put in the new one.
It went well and again he was very professional and friendly.
I would recommend Central Plumbing to anyone!! They were great!!

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!

Excellent service!  Came on time and reasonable pricing.  I'm new to area, Crestwood, IL, so Yelp helped me to find these plumbers and they came through.  Highly recommended.

Hired from Angi. Did a great job putting a gas line in for my BBQ Grill. Requested on Tuesday, work was done on Wednesday. My wife and I felt super comfortable with the techs. Highly recommend for any plumbing/gas job.

These people suck. The guy brought his son out with him, who is learning I assume, and didn't even know how to open my door to get downstairs back to the car for tools...  

We're at my house and tried to charge me double saying there were two technicians or plumbers working on the job which took them a total of 10 minutes.  

Wrote me up a bill for $300 and had the nerve to call me cheap when I questioned him why it was so much   I wouldn't do it for $20 if that's what you're trying to do The Man~Let said.  Told him to get out of my house and I would never do business with him again since I'm not even allowed to question what the bill was and how he was charging me.  Mind you I had cash in hand no problem,  but if you think you're gonna be rude to me in my own home and double charge me for your retarded son who doesn't even know what he's doing you can see the door.  Do NOT USE THEM!

There was a sewer gas smell that filled the house every time water was run for any length of time. Walsh & Son responded quickly and set up a very convenient day and time to repair the cracked sewer pipe.
They arrived on time and got to work immediately. They took care of digging the hole in my basement, replacing the pipe, filling the hole, cementing the floor, and cleaning up the area within a few short hours. I LOVE not having to deal with the sewer smell anymore.
I wouldn't hesitate to call them in the future or refer them to anyone who needs sewer experts.

I am glad I came here. I stopped at the big box stores and they had some options but nothing that would help with my issue. Once I got here I had the feeling they usually work with plumbers more but the staff here was and I could tell they had the experience and knew what they were talking about. In fact I drew out what my issue looked like and they talked me through a couple ways to fix it. They also had tons of options so you were bound to find what you needed. All my future plumbing issues I plan to come here for the experience of the staff and the large selection of options.

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

Love these guys! Prompt, clean, and really know their stuff. He indulged all of my questions, and gave some great advice.

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 !!!
