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.

I called for information on recaulking and was give an hourly rate.  Kevin wasn't available for several days, but I said I would discuss the cost with my husband.  Kevin called a couple of days later and I told him my husband wanted to give the project a try himself.  Well that didn't work, so I called Kevin again to let him know we would like him to come out after all.  I'm disappointed I didn't hear back from him.  It would be nice to have a reliable handyman close by.

Adam diagnosed the problem quickly and easily. He's confident and knows his stuff.  He found and fixed the most obvious issue economically and quickly (obvious to him, not to us!). Sometimes, with plumbing, the hardest part of the problem is figuring out the cause of the problem.  Fixing it is the easy part, comparably. It's too early to tell if what he found is the only issue--there may be a deeper (as in, under the concrete) problem too.  But more than likely, what he found is exactly what was causing our soil stack to leak.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Great experience working with All Affordable Plumbing! Juan was our plumber/technician that performed the work - he was early to arrive, professional & courteous, and did a thorough job with the work!

Our kitchen sink was gurgling and had a foul smell any time we'd run water or the dishwasher. Juan was able to use a rooter to clean out the pipes and no more smell or gurgling - problem solved! Very pleased with the service and would highly recommend using All Affordable Plumbing to anyone that is in need of plumbing services!

Not sure about the other negative reviews. These guys were quick, professional, charged me about 30% less than their competitor I used in the past. They even told me I probably didn't need to root my sewer as often since it was real clear. Didn't seem like they were trying to rip me off, why would they tell me that otherwise?

The absolute best people to call for any plumbing problems. They are quick, efficient and friendly. They are also a family run business that will not price gouge you. They are knowledgeable and clean up after they are done. They have done a very large job and a couple small jobs for us and each time we have been completely satisfied. I will continue to use them whenever a plumbing issue should arise. Call them first!

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.

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 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.

Horrible customer service.  I was in need of assistance, looking for a part for my toilet and was not assisted in a friendly manner.  I was the only woman in line and was treated in a demeaning manner, even the other men waiting for assistance laughed at the customer service rep assisting me, guess if you are a woman, in a man's plumbing world you are considered a joke.  I would never recommend this store to anyone!
