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 have unfortunately needed plumbing work twice in the last six months. Used this company twice and was satisfied with the service and fee seemed fair.  Both times they were prompt, polite and did a good job. The men made sure not to make a mess, then cleaned up. Explained what work was needed and gave me a fair estimate before doing the work. I would definitely use them again. .

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.

These guys were recommended to me and now I know why! They are true professionals and gentlemen. When we had a problem that we thought we knew what had to be done, Welter plumbing gave us very honest and common sense advice. Any other plumber would most likely have jumped on our misconceived ideas about what had to be done to correct a problem and start chopping up the basement floor. Thank you once again to Welter plumbing for their honesty and sage advice. Finding a good and honest plumber seems rare these days.... so hats off to Welter!!!! Put these guys in your Rolodex now.... even if you don't need them at this moment.. I feel better just knowing they're around.

I came across DreamHouse plumbing through a common friend. And then we talked to Audrey from DHP team and he was always very prompt and quick in action when it comes to knowing the problem to fix whether it be Undersink ,pipe line  and outdoor valve issues. I highly recommend Audrey and his team at DHP for any of your plumbing services.

Called  Central 9/29 for a rusted out drain between the walls.  Chris came out on the 27th to look it over and Chris and Tom were there on the 28th fixing it. It wasn't easy being in the wall, they removed my dishwasher and broke open the wall so it was a tight squeeze.  Had a little issue with reinstalling the dishwasher, but after a few visits and going in a different direction, all went well.    All I can say is don't think twice about this company,

Go For IT!!!!!!

We are the type of people who like to ensure that area businesses are patronized, thereby retaining money in our community, so, we always contact area businesses/contractors no matter our needs or the size of the project. In this instance, and being totally fair, we want to describe our description of work we wanted to be done, how it was addressed, and our experience with this company.

Last year we needed to replace an exterior ejector/sump pump, rod, and clear exterior run-off/rainwater pipes and have a first-floor toilet replaced. We called Pittman, which is located less than a mile from us. We made an appointment after explaining our needs. They called to confirm the appointment, arrived promptly and reviewed our job. A gentleman who identified himself as a partner in their family-owned business provided us an estimate including the service charge. We had already purchased the ejector/sump pump and the Kohler toilet that we wanted to be installed and asked them to use those products/materials. However, in adding the rodding job we realized that either he was joking or simply didn't want to do the work by making the charge entirely too high - by hundreds of dollars. As for the toilet - we didn't have much of a choice since it would create a hardship not having a bathroom available for use. After finishing the job we asked why their prices were so high. The gentlemen actually laughed while suggesting that if we wanted less than quality work we could pay less.

Several weeks later, we discovered we had a clog in our upstairs bathroom drain, which stopped the vanity and the tub. We called Pittman, told them the problem and they dispatched a crew. We explained to them that we also wanted to have a new Kohler tub drain assembly installed since the original one had already been removed. They removed the clog in a matter of minutes, using an air pressure device and cleared some debris from the p-trap under the vanity. I reminded him about the tub drain assembly to which the gentleman replied that I had the wrong part(s), that it could not be installed and to call him when I actually knew what I was talking about. His manner was condescending and dismissive even as he suggested that he was willing to drop the service charge associated with the visit. I asked him to reconsider installing the device since I was certain that I had ordered the correct part(s) assembly. He declined. We paid them, and they left. I ended up installing the device myself within an hour, thereby concluding that either he didn't know what he was talking about or, once again, he simply didn't want to do the job.

Fast forward to one week ago. A property we owned required the unstopping of a tub drain. We called Pittman, set up an appointment, explained our needs, and met them the next day on the job site. The crew examined the situation but were ultimately unsuccessful after working on it for just over an hour. One of the gentlemen explained that the configuration of the pipes, trap, and drain prevented them from clearing the blockage using conventional means. He stated that he wasn't sure, but believed that the only way he could clear the pipe was to cut the wall of an adjacent bedroom, the floor and the kitchen ceiling beneath the bathroom in order to access the pipes, remove and replace them - all without guarantee of success and adding that they would not be responsible for replacing or repairing the damage done as a result of their work.

We were stunned. but accepted that the work would have to be done.
He sketched out several confusing diagrams to explain his assessment and how it could be fixed. He also included an estimated price/cost - a very high one ($1300.00 to $1500.00) for the job alone. We greenlighted the job provided that he would present us with a formal/detailed proposal. He responded that the document would be ready by that evening of the next day but he would not be able to start work until two days later. We asked how he would be able to properly convey an accurate description of the problem/solution to his co-worker without him seeing the job. He claimed it wouldn't be a problem.

We were not contacted as promised, no email or message was sent. We called Pittman's offices. They claimed not to know about the project, would search it out and call back. They did not and they still have not reached out to us.

The least they could have done is told us they did not want to do the job - for whatever reason. They are very unprofessional in that regard, even if you are a repeat customer. Not being direct and honest with a customer is not the way to go.

As an aside, we found another contractor - outside the neighborhood - who determined that the job could be done for over $500.00 dollars less and retains references/contact with contractors who assess and repair damages resulting from their work. They promptly provided a detailed assessment and estimate, to begin work almost immediately.

Draw your own conclusions!

Why only four stars? Because they were not easy to find! For businesses that do such good work and employee good staff, they need to be well-known! Hopefully this will help to increase their name, fame and add to their bottom line. Excellent price, kept the appointment; did the job, was careful to do clean and neat work; and respected my property during ingress and egress.

Hired from Angi. Did a great job putting a gas line in for my BBQ Grill. Requested on Tuesday, work was done on Wednesday. My wife and I felt super comfortable with the techs. Highly recommend for any plumbing/gas job.

I was in a bind regarding a plumbing issue on Jun 4th, they came out looked at job and said we can't service you until Jun 8th that they were very busy. They came out, they were on time and friendly. It was a small job and they were done in less than an hour. They did quote me prior to the job with an allowed time of 2hrs. The job was done in less than an hour. Materials were $45.00 and Labor was $195.00. I thought that was high, $195.00 for an hour. I would shop around next time for better price and quicker service.

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.

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

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.

Love these guys! Prompt, clean, and really know their stuff. He indulged all of my questions, and gave some great advice.

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 !!!
