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.

Like most 50-year-old houses, my parents' home needed some fixing up. I made a punch list and called Kevin. He came out and gave me a very reasonable estimate, and did an excellent job on the home repairs.

Kevin is very knowledgeable. He takes pride in his work and also takes the time to explain different options for approaching a particular job.

I plan to hire Kevin again for some home upgrades. One of my parents' neighbors has since hired him for a woodworking project, and she has been very satisfied as well.

Kevin has become our go-to guy for home repairs and upgrades. I highly recommend him!

John service manager . The only thing he knows is his start time which is 6:30. I wish I had spoken to someone else, perhaps they would of won the job. Anyway good luck with speaking to John. John knows nothing but his start time.

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 have nothing but good things to say about the guys at Welter. They came out right away and diagnosed the problem. Even though they were unable to do all the work on the spot, they did do a temporary fix for me and set the appointment to come back. Another company was suggesting a very expensive solution, but Welter told me it was not necessary saving me thousands of dollars.

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!

I literally can't say enough great things about Central Plumbing Co.  I was referred to Rob by a trusted friend to help with a couple issues in my newly purchased condo.  For the immediate issue, Rob and Chris came out to fix the issue with my kitchen sink/dishwasher overflowing and augured the kitchen line.  To be thorough, they went into the basement to auger the main drainage line (which i don't think my condo association has touched in a very long time).  Good thing they did because they cleared years of blockage and made sure everything was clean when they left.

For my second appointment, Chris came to replace the basement sump pumps.  I had previously been quoted by another company at a much higher rate.  Since Central Plumbing's employees do not work off commission like other companies, they quoted a good price with quality work.  My pumps are working great and they did a great job.

It's sometimes hard to know whether you are being taken advantage of when you know nothing about plumbing (especially as a female) and I never once felt like this at all with Central Plumbing.  I received nothing but great service and professionalism from both Chris and Rob.  They have a customer for life and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Missed appointments. Not willing to be flexible with customers on appt times. Received call days after appointment had been missed. Doesnt return calls or answer phone during business ours. Avoid this business.

I wish I could give Josh and Simon Plumbing 100 stars!  We had water gushing from the upstairs bathroom into our freshly painted kitchen, through the can lights over the sink.  We assumed it was a burst pipe, since the stream was so strong and sudden.

Josh assessed the situation and discovered that some old plumber's putty had rotted away and he resealed it the proper way - problem fixed.  

In short, Josh knew what to do and did not take advantage of us.  We are so glad we were given their number from our friend.  Fantastic job!

All Affordable Plumbing was All Good, they were on time, proficient in their work, reasonably priced. After the job was completed they explained the warranty and cleaned the work area up so well you would never know they were there. Highly recommended.

Kennedy has helped me out in many situations. All of their people are knowledgeable, thorough, polite and professional. After they leave, I always have that comfortable feeling that the job was done correctly.

We have used Walsh and Son Sewer for a number of issues and have never been disappointed.  They are  punctual, clean and professional.  I've never had to call back for additional service on an issue.  I would use them again and again.

George is extremely knowledgeable and is the reason Harlem Supply exists. George was never let go, he owned the business, sold it and stayed on to help teach the new owner the business.  It is very hard to help people, when they can't clearly tell you what is wrong.  It is because George's help is still needed that he came back.  The business was set up to serve plumbers primarily, but they are always willing to try and help non-plumbers.  I would give them 5 stars, but they just can't always have everything you need in stock, nor can they have all the personnel needed to immediately wait on every customers - no one can.

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 !!!
