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 wish I had found this company sooner. I bought a townhouse last year and have had a list of to-do's a mile long since moving in. I had no idea where to start. Now, I'm getting ready to move again and will be putting the townhouse up for rent. With a week left before moving, I desperately started searching for someone to help complete my to-do's. To be honest, I didn't even know handyman companies existed, I thought people just knew a guy. I am so happy to have found Welter Home Services, they are now my guy and I will recommend them to anyone who will listen.
Kevin contacted me very soon after I submitted an inquiry on Yelp. My desperation must have come across in our conversation because he was able to get me in his crowded schedule right away! His rates are extremely reasonable and the quality of service is worth every penny. Handyman Dan arrived at my house right when Kevin said he would. Dan is impressive. He's a very friendly guy with a huge amount of talent, I don't think there's any task he can't handle. And, best of all, he's a master at multitasking - the guy doesn't know the meaning of downtime, no dilly dallying with Dan!
Some of the tasks Dan completed for me include: mounting and testing a dishwasher, fixing the rolling mechanism and rescreening a sliding patio door, removing an old garbage disposal and installing a new one, correcting a drywall patch that someone else had done poorly, figuring out how my fireplace works and testing it out, stainblocking water stains in my ceiling, mounting a cabinet in my garage, and looking into a problem with my refrigerator. There may have been more to the list, but that's all I've got off the top of my head. I seriously thought this would easily be a 6-8 hour day, I was doubtful when Kevin quoted me 3-4 hours. However, Dan had it done in 4 hours! I'm still in disbelief.
So now my house is in the best shape it's ever been. Everything works, everything looks good. My only regret is not having found this company sooner so that I could enjoy my home in working order a little longer before I move.

If you've got anything lingering on your to-do list, call these guys. You will not be disappointed.

Happy New Year ...... and we have no heat on the second floor! I called Armbrust Heating and within the hour Jeff came out to our home, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. We now have heat and I am overjoyed at the care and professionalism shown to us by Jeff. We are life-long Armbrust customers and I can't thank Jeff enough for handling this situation so expertly! I kept apologizing for calling him out on a freezing cold holiday, no less,  and he could not have been  kinder or more gracious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jeff! You are the BEST!!!!

I had a leaking showerhead, meaning that the Moen cartridge in the handle needed to be replaced. I've done it before, but it can be a major project for a novice plumber. InSink provided a reasonable quote which I accepted, I scheduled an appointment, and their plumbers actually showed up a few minutes early on the day I scheduled. Gary and Joey were friendly and professional, completed the job in about an hour, and cleaned up when they were done. I highly recommend.

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.

Excellent and professional service from start to finish!  I highly recommend this plumbing company.  I received a very prompt return call at the start and sound advice/recommendations over the phone.  Thank you Tom!  On the scheduled date, the plumber arrived perfectly on time.  Go Chris!  He was courteous, efficient, professional and clean! I am so pleased with this company, especially after having had a negative experience in the past with a different company.  I had a new food disposal and shower head installed, a toilet repaired and a few other odds and ends. I echo the sentiments of the other reviewers - these are your go to guys for excellent service at fair prices!  Thank you Central Plumbing!

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.

We hired these plumbers to do a whole house re- piping. If you need that job done, call these people.  They are a job-done option: they will pull down walls, replace plumbing,  and put the walls back up. (huge because getting contracters to put up drywall after the fact would be difficult).

It was a big job and they made it very easy. We got multiple estimates and the price was fair. The owner has a straightforward, serious, honest manner, the type you would trust to babysit your kids. We were very comfortable spending money with this company and are happy with the results.

Everyone I've dealt with at this company (Ann, Pat and Tommy), was friendly and incredibly helpful.

We had an issue with sewage coming back up in our laundry room on Christmas. I called the day after and they were able to get out the same day and help resolve the problem. They were even willing to help move a 60+ year old freezer that was in the way of the main stack they needed to rod out.

There was hardly no clean up that needed to be done, the pricing was very fair and Pat explained everything he did. I would definitely recommend Kennedy to anyone that has plumbing needs and will definitely use them again should anything else pop up.

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!

Prices are outrageous, the staff I spoke with was inexperienced and lacking the knowledge, nobody available to help me. Just ridiculous

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!
