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.

We hired Kevin and his team to handle some extensive drywall patching throughout our house. The crew was very professional and prompt, finishing the project on schedule and with the quality work that we expected. One of the best things is that they did an outstanding job cleaning up all of the dust and debris from the drywalling, which is not something that all contractors take the time to do. It's nice to work with a reliable company that offers a wide range of services, and we are planning to hire Welter again for future jobs. I would recommend Welter for any type of home repair.

Dave W. arrived on a moment's notice this morning and although I'd only mentioned one issue, he ended up diagnosing and fixing several problems that have been issues for a long time. Dave is super knowledgable, polite, clean, efficient, and obviously very skilled. I would request Dave again, and I continue to be impressed with Armbrust's service.

Gary Jr. is fantastic!    I recently had InSink install a tankless water heater in my home and I could not be happier.  My old water heater was 20 years old and it was in a small closet with no floor drain next to a wood floor. I felt I was living on borrowed time and I wanted to get it replaced before it sprung a leak and ruined the floor.    Gary figured out the best place to install the tankless unit and not try to persuade me to leave it in the same closet like some other plumbers I had quote me the work.  He listens to what the customer wants/needs and comes up with solutions.  He is meticulous in his work and it shows!  All my friends are jealous on how cool or should I say how hot it looks/works.  If you don't want to be kicking yourself later hire InSink first.

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.

I have used Welter several times in the last 20 years - each service call they were prompt and efficient - and leave the space cleaner than it was before they arrived.  This time, they got to my house w/in 5 hours of my call and were able to give me a small time frame during which they'd arrive which made it easier to work around our schedules.   Their prices are always fair, as well...

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 awesome! Arrive when they say they will arrive...which, for a last minute emergency call, was above and beyond appreciated. Shout out to Rob and TJ for making time for us during our plumbing disaster. We have worked with Central plumbing on numerous occasions and they have been pleasure to do business with. Feel like when I call I am talking to family and they have my back. Can't say enough good things about this company. You guys are doing it right. Keep it up!!

They did a great job and went above and beyond when completing my drain repair. They finished in the contracted time, were extremely professional and friendly. I am very pleased with the job and will be calling them for any other plumbing needs I have in the future.

They did an amazing Job of lowering the drain pipe so we could have a disposal after getting an under mount sink. They also removed a slop sin in the garage and replaced with a spigot that mixes both hot and cold.

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.

We first used Kennedy about 25 years ago when we had a pipe freeze on a Saturday.  After calling several other places and getting no response, we tried Kennedy.  When they learned that our heat had to be turned off, they assured us that they would be out within two hours and they lived up to their word.  Since then, we've had them for a number of service calls including replacing an ejector pump, installing a new toilet, and, most recently, replacing a leaking water shut off valve.  They provide prompt and informative service and reasonable prices.  We recommend them to anyone needing plumbing assistance.

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

Thiesse Plumbing is the real deal!  They get how to do business and do it right..  We used them last year for rodding out our basement to the street to excellent results. This after making the mistake of calling giant Roto-Rooter! If you're looking for the best no nonsense, honest, knowledgable, and customer service plumbing company- call Thiesse!  Will definitely use them again should the need occur.

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 !!!
