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 and Dan did excellent work partially remodeling our master bathroom. It looks fantastic! Kevin makes well thought out recommendations based on experience and know-how as a business owner and Dan is very capable in executing the job. We look forward to having them back for further home (condo) renovations. We will definitely be recommending Welter Home Services to our friends going forward.

From my initial conversation with the scheduler at Armbrust, through the service call by Lou, my experience was extremely positive. Very impressed with how professional and friendly everyone was. Thanks again Lou for doing such a great job!

Great,  quick service! They were prompt, friendly,  thorough and cleaned up when they were finished!

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.

My experience with Welter began with the fact that two people I work with independently recommended them. Next: When I called, I talked to a real human, as opposed to having to wander through a voicemail maze while being forced to listen to elevator music and enthusiastic ads.

We had a long list of plumbing jobs--from ordinary tasks like slow drains to complicated ones like installing a Toto Washlet--that needed to be done. Ryan--who was a pleasure to work with--and an assistant (I'm bummed that I don't remember his name because he was great) got them all done and found a few issues we had forgotten about.

They were friendly, explained everything, and answered questions. It has been a week since they've been here and there have been no unpleasant surprises. Everything works as it should.

I will definitely be calling back the next time I need plumbing work done in my house.

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!

The whole team was professional and friendly. They listened to my problems in detail and helped explain some old-house oddities. Quality work and great service, will be having them quote a large project. My new go-to neighborhood plumber!

Stellar organization.  They are efficient, courteous, and reasonably priced.  

The crew and owner typify what it means to work with and within the community.  They are attentive to needs and respectful of client anxiety.

Simon Plumbing came to my mother's rescue when her hot water tank failed. I was super lucky to have enjoyed same day service. The plumber was top notch, I couldn't have received better service period.

Awesome! They set expectations of what's involved, how to fix the issue, the cost involved and time to complete the work. Upon acceptance, they worked efficiently and non-stop until the work was completed. Great value each and every time and we have hired All Affordable numerous times for preventative plumbing needs and some more urgent due to the age of our home. Highly recommended.

We were referred by a neighbor, and have now used Kennedy 4 times in the last 6 months for three different issues (sump pump, water heater, toilet). They have always responded promptly, shown up exactly what time they said they would, explained the problem and fix in detail, and charged a fair price. Very professional and friendly. Would recommend them highly.

They answered the phone upon the first phone call. They came out the same day. They fixed the problem the same day. They were polite, courteous and informative. Their prices were very reasonable.

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.

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.

We hired Thiesse to remedy a problem in our basement that was being caused by the city sewers backing up during heavy storms. They recommended installing an ejector pit, into which all the basement piping (floor drain, laundry tub, etc.) would be plumbed. This in turn would eliminate the open drains that the city sewer was backing up into.

After they did the work, we noticed backups in the main stack & immediately notified the company of the problem. They came out again & spent a couple hours rodding the sewer line immediately outside the area they'd worked on days earlier, then told us they couldn't find anything wrong but we should break open the main sewer outside the house, as it was likely blocked or collapsed. (Huh?) We declined this, since we had never had a problem with it prior to the work they did in the basement. We paid almost $500 for this rodding & diagnosis, by the way - this was in addition to the money we paid to have the ejector pit installed.

About a week later, I went into the basement & noticed another backup around the floor drain & water again leaking out of the joints in the main stack a few feet above the floor. This led me to believe the blockage was inside the house. My wife called Thiesse & asked they come out yet again to fix the problem.

When they arrived, they brought their sewer foreman with them - someone who had never seen the house or the work previously done. He proceeded to try to rod the line inside the house, but kept hitting an obstruction beneath the floor. He broke the floor open (this after we had already had it patched after their previous efforts) & determined the plumbers who'd installed the ejector pit had inadvertently filled the main line leading outside with hydraulic cement. His words were looks like we caused the problem.

They returned the next day & removed the clogged pipe, breaking out even more of the concrete floor in the process. Sewage finally flowed again, but Thiesse had the audacity to send us another bill for fixing the problem they had created! We told them in no uncertain terms we would not be paying the bill & they became very hostile, claiming WE had somehow caused the problem.

Our experience was among the worst I've ever had with a company & I would never, under any circumstances, recommend them. Buyer beware.

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 !!!
