Best Businesses in Wisconsin

I had my sewer snaked out to the curb. They didn't leave any mess and it was priced on par with other times I've had it done in the past and cheaper than the bigger names in drain cleaning. Also, I asked them to investigate a bad smell coming from under a sink. They spent a while trying to figure it out and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend their services!

We recently moved into a house and this was our first time hiring a plumber.  That being said, it was daunting to decide who we wanted to go with.  Jay from Norman's Home Improvements made the decision easier for us, as he was thoughtful and willing to discuss our possible plumbing issues right away, before even booking an appointment.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norman's to anyone who was looking for assistance.  Our experience was a good one, and our issue was resolved with one visit.  The total cost was especially reasonable, and we feel we learned a lot in the process - it is always a great thing when someone is willing to explain things to you and answer questions, versus just completing the job.  

I reached out to numerous plumbers and companies, but Jay's response stood out right away.  While most people were happy to give me a (fairly high) ballpark quote which left me wondering if I would be taken advantage of for my lack of plumbing knowledge, Jay was happy to discuss the possibilities of why our kitchen sink had stopped working for no apparent reason ahead of time, before even booking an appointment.  He was able to come take a look at our sink just a couple of days later, on a Friday evening.  He spent some time discussing the plumbing of our house with us in general, which was extremely helpful as we only moved a few weeks ago.  He was happy to answer questions and make sure we understood things, which we really appreciated.  He was professional and explained the cost ahead of time after diagnosing the issue and prior to completing additional work beyond the base service fee for the visit.  

Norman's Home Improvements was a good first experience for us, and I would gladly hire them in the future for additional work.  In addition to plumbing, they also do work on electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.  We would highly recommend Norman's and we especially appreciated the willingness to not only perform the work but explain the process to us as well.

We just purchased our first home and are so glad we found Dale to help us out.  From the leaky faucet upstairs, to the downpour of a leak in the shower, to the garbage disposal he was so very helpful.  Dale fixed the leaky faucet, gave us advice for how to re-caulk the tub, and he re-installed the garbage disposal the proper way with the proper configuration of the pipes.

So glad to have used their services and will do so again and again (though hopefully we do not need them!)

Not impressed.  We were trying to figure out what to do to address flooding in my 90 year-old mother-in-law's basement.  We live out of town and specifically asked him to check the palmer valve in the floor drain.   Charlie assured me that this is what we do for a living.  He cleaned out the lateral at what seemed to be a very high cost.  This did nothing to solve the problem.  

Subsequently, we got the right person to take a look; the problem was a stuck palmer valve.  He completely fixed the flooding problem in 30 minutes, at less half of what Econo charged.  Charlie at Econo is a smooth talker but doesn't know his stuff.  Caution advised!

The company phone number isn't right. seems they changed numbers and didn't fix it here.

I was disappointed that they seem to be too busy to pay attention to and service someone who calls with a smaller need. I called to get information about abandoning my well (since I don't use it much and the 5-year testing is annoying). Since I don't have the history on my well, he said he would look it up (I heard nothing back). Since I was nearing the renewal deadline, I called back to schedule a shock treatment. He seemed surprised and annoyed that I went directly to his cell (his answering service was off the hook, so it routed to him). He said he would call me right back (he never did). I know they are probably top of the line, but if he's too busy to service a well shock treatment I wish he'd just say so.

Derek Kuepper helped with our remodel and was great. Thorough and meticulous with everything he did!  Would use again!

We are currently in the middle of a quoted 4 day jon for a foundation and basement repair with Ihn Company. I may update this review once the job is done, but thus far I'm VERY disappointed in the service we've received. Our job: drain tile install, sump pump install and bracing of walls in our basement. Quite a pricy job. For the amount of money we are paying we are getting horrid services.

In the 4 weeks leading up to the job we had to call twice to confirm date and time as well as get information of what needed to be moved in the basement before work began. Arrival on day one was scheduled between 8 and 8:30 and the crew arrived around 9:15 am with no call. My husband was stuck waiting for them to show them to the basement as well as give them a key to the house and show them where the lock box was. I do have to say, it looked like good progress on day one.

Day two: No call, no show. No additional work done and materials were in the exact same spot as the previous day. I left a message after hours on their general voice mail asking for a call back first thing in the AM (it's now 10 am and I've yet to hear a peep out of them).

Day three: Call from the crew. The code to the lock box doesn't work. Oh wait, we wrote it down wrong. Apparently work continues.

Meanwhine, we have a newborn at home and were hoping this job would be done in 4 days because she's going to be home Thursday and Friday. Dust and noise don't mix well with babies, so if this job gets dragged out I'm going to be FUMING mad.

Further updates to come, but I have absolutely no faith in this company and the lackluster communication thus far as done nothing but frustrate and upset both my husband and me. At this point I would definitely not recommend them. I would have happily spent a little more money to get better service and great communication.

Great service! On-time, professional, cost effective. Needed a new sump pump, explained all the option and didn't make my feel horrible for picking the option I did. Even when I started to question my choice they reassured me what I picked would work for our house.

I have used Milwaukee Plumbing for lots of work from sink & toilet installations to leaking pipes.  They never disappoint.  Always professional prompt service.  All of their plumbers are super friendly and very knowledgable.  I have a rental unit that they've serviced to my home and my business.  Trust me if you want reliable service at a fair price call them!  Best decision you'll ever make.

Very over priced. They mark up pricing on all the products, bill out $110 hourly rate and bury the cost of coming to quote out your project in the quote.

As stated in a previous review the owner of Wilkes is scary!  He has no qualms about being rude to customers if he feels in the right!  They do good work-the plumbers that work for him are nice- he is not!  I would steer clear and hire another company that's more professional because if the owner shows up on your job and there is a discrepancy- heaven help you- short fuse!
