Weld & Sons Plumbing

Carlton and Matthew did a great job installing a bathroom vanity and toilet in a tight space. They were prompt, efficient, and performed the work flawlessly. They also consulted with me regarding exactly how to position the vanity. Last but not least, they cleaned up the area well when they were finished.

I've been extremely happy with the work performed by Weld & Sons other times I've hired them, and Carlton and Matthew continued that excellence!

Today was the first day using Weld and Sons. We woke up to a leak in the basement and called. Dan was at our house within 40 minutes. He did a great job and was pleasant to work with. He even found another issue we were unaware of and fixed that too. Considering it was a Saturday morning and weekend pricing, the total cost was reasonable. We will for sure be using them in the future!

Weld & Sons did great work and they were really friendly and down to earth. Better yet: reasonable prices. We needed to replace drain pipes under the sink and reconnect fridge and dishwasher water lines. Estimates from two other companies were more than $2k. Weld & Sons: $587. That actually included them fixing a couple other minor things on our list that was not part of those two other estimates.

Weld & Sons will be my first and only call from now on!

We have used Weld and Sons multiple times and they have provided excellent, quick and cost effective options for our plumbing problems.

I had Ben come out and replace some copper pipes that sprung a leak. The price for the repair was reasonable and they arrived in 2 hours after I called. I am not sure if this is typical or if I was just lucky. Either way, I would use them again and recommend them to anyone needing a plumber. Way cheaper than the major brand plumbers and give you major brand service.

Brad came out early as my plumbing issue escalated, which was really amazing!  I had standing water on my bathroom and laundry room floors which increased with every flush, washer load or shower drain.  He cleared our line in good time and did a great job!  He explained all he did and wrote it down for me on the receipt.  He took the time to chat with my husband on the phone also.  He was super friendly with my two dogs and very nice to me.  I will call Weld & Sons Plumbing every time we have a plumbing issue!  Thank you so much, Brad!

Fair and upfront pricing. Flexible scheduling, prompt, respectful and excellent quality of work.

In short, the character and work ethic that every business should demonstrate.

Thank you Weld & Sons!

They completely remodeled our bathroom in a 100-year-old home. Their attention to detail and patience with all of our requests was much appreciated. They were timely, professional, and detail oriented. I highly recommend Weld and Sons.

I first had an urgent need for a plumber on a Friday. Then later needed to have a pedestal sink and toilet installed in a recently remodeled bathroom. Weld & Sons to the rescue!

Both times, it was Ben who rose to the occasion with timely arrival, meticulous work, thorough cleanup and very reasonable prices.

I won't go into great detail. However, I will highlight one action that I think speaks volumes about Weld & Sons values and ethics. While completing the sink/toilet work, Ben ran out of white calk. He called his office to request that someone deliver new calk tubes to my home. Because he felt it was his fault to have arrived without enough material to finish the job, he did not charge for the ~30+ minute interval while waiting to be resupplied. I suspect that there are other companies out there that would have handled this situation less transparently and with less integrity.

In any case, I highly recommend Weld & Sons for any and all of your future plumbing needs.

I called early afternoon to see if someone would be able to come look at a leak in my ceiling I believed to be coming from the upstairs bathroom. I fully expected atleast a few days to be penciled in for an appointment, but they took the details of my situation and my address down, and within an hour told me they were able to send someone out this afternoon. It was a plumber who actually lived down the street from my house and it would be his last job for the day.

He was extremely professional, gave me a step by step
of what his plan was, removed my leak and fixed up a shotty job a contractor had done to the toilet all less than 2 hours. Very reasonably priced! Would absolutely recommend.

We have used Weld and Sons on three occasions over the past 3-4 years and there's good reason why we trust them.
We like their up front pricing structure and they have always billed either at or under the estimated cost. No surprise bill at the end of the job. Additionally, their workers are friendly and on time. We will always call Weld and Sons and have referred family and friends to them with the highest recommendation.

Replaced our kitchen faucet and garbage disposal efficiently and professionally for less than the original estimate.

We've owned our home for five years and up until now, our only plumbing needs have been for clogged drains. This time we had an actual leak, and our normal drain unclogging company advised us that we'd need a Master Plumber and recommended Weld & Sons. I'm glad they did. My only complaint is not really a complaint. They were booked out a few weeks and I had to wait (waaah!). But they were very up front about it, and they even offered to call me if there was a cancelation. They actually DID do that, and I was impressed! So anyway, Dayne was the plumber that visited my house and he called before he came. He arrived right at the start of the stated service window and was super courteous. He took about three seconds to assess the issue and showed us what was wrong. He explained what he was going to do, which included cutting a hole in the ceiling of our basement (yikes). He had to run out to his truck a couple of times and took his shoes on and off each time - even after I told him that he really didn't have to. As he worked his way through the project, he kept me updated and communicated well. And when he was done, he walked us through, explained the charges on the invoice and collected payment. I was delighted to see that first the hole in the ceiling was smaller than I thought it was going to be and second it was actually very neatly cut out. He was a total pro and we would absolutely call Weld & Sons again. In fact, I noted that our neighbor had them out to their house the next week!

Low integrity, predatory billing.

Called Weld & Sons on a weekend when I wasn't available to come look at a leak that was pouring down from a pipe in the ceiling. I am aware of weekend pricing and that it was going to be extra, not a problem. Initially excited to have found someone available as my plumber was out of town.

Technician comes out and calls me in less than 15 minutes to let me know that the upstairs dishwasher was the thing leaking (happened to be above a pipe below), and that they don't fix dishwashers, going to have to find someone else to fix it .

No problem. Really sucks that I wasn't available to check it myself but I figure for a 15 minute call, even with the weekend pricing, shouldn't be too bad. Plumbers are insanely expensive, so maybe $150. Lord knows they couldn't with a straight face charge $200 for an unfixed issue.

$375 is my bill. Yes that's correct. $375. Their call waiting boasts of their integrity and honesty I don't know about you, the last time I drove somewhere and fixed nothing I didn't charge a couple 8 hour days worth of work's money for it. Completely predatory. I called Mark, the manager or owner, and he says there's nothing we can do. The technician was there checking and testing stuff. No he wasn't. He called me with the source of the leak in 15 minutes, said he couldn't fix it, and left.

Absolutely horrible. Look elsewhere for your plumbing needs. There is something you can do, Mark. You can, when your technician fixes nothing, charge a reasonable price and maintain a good reputation. But you had a chance and chose money instead.

They did a nice job.  The young man was professional and kind.

The price was fair.  I hope I never need a plumber again, but would call these guys back if I do

Weld & Sons is by far the best plumbing company that I have worked with in my 24 years of owning a home.  They are honest, helpful, prompt, friendly, clean, and get the job done.  They installed a water heater in my home, installed three p-traps, and replaced a pipe that was rusted out underneath my kitchen sink.  Their prices were well beyond reasonable and their service from start to finish was exceptional.  I have a new plumber for life and will share this with everyone I know.  Thanks Weld & Sons!

Sump pump failed. Called them about 8:30 in the morning, had a new sump pump installed before lunch. How fantastic is that.

I was very impressed with Weld & Sons. They were most responsive (even by email) and friendly out of the 6 plumbing companies that we contacted. In addition to a very reasonable pricing structure they were right on time and did excellent work. All details were adequately explained. Having used other plumbing companies in the West suburbs I recommend Weld & Sons very highly.

They show up on time, do a good job and at a fair price. I use them for all my rental properties..

WOW!
They got me even though others told me a four week wait. The issue was fixed fast and professional. I would call the company back for any plumbing issue. I am very happy with all parts of the service starting with the phone call to the headquarters to the visit from the plumber. THANK YOU!

I could not recommend Weld and Sons more. After someone from the City broke a pipe early this morning (then told me they wouldnt fix it), I had no water in my house and was desperate. After calling 20+ plumbers, Weld and  Sons was the first to get back to me and gave me information I needed right away. After sending pictures of the broken pipe, they responded immediately to my email and sent someone within the next hour (even earlier than they had quoted me). When Manny arrived, he was friendly, professional and quick to get the broken piece fixed. I am so pleased with this company for getting me out of a pickle with professionalism and at a reasonable price.

I am really impressed with Weld & Sons. We had them help us with a draining issue in the kitchen and then asked them to come back to replace plumbing to our main sewage line. They were very flexible with timing, did excellent work and their pricing was very reasonable.

I would recommend Weld & Sons to anyone!

They were able to put us on a waitlist and came out the same day to fix our toilet. It got done fast and efficiently. Very friendly service.

Weld & Sons recently sent a plumber out to install my already purchased water softener. The plumber did a great job and the price was mid-range. He even noticed a part was missing and sent his guy to get it asap. The reason I will be using them in the future is that I thought it was leaking a month later.......they came out that same day & didn't charge me an arm and a leg even though we figured out my basement was leaking, not the water softener. Thanks for being fair and for prioritizing an emergency. You guys rock.

After getting nearly taken by Deans (looonnng story) we contacted this firm.  We were overwhelmed by the responsiveness, fairness and overall experience of dealing with them.  It didn't go perfect - when they hauled the new water heater in, the delivery guy totally smashed our dogs wooden gated area (dog was fine after recovering from the loud noise, etc.)  Weld promised reimbursement and promptly delivered (along with Starbucks gift cards for our trouble).   Will happily recommend them in the future!

Always reliable service from Weld & Sons.

Kurt was out to fix a leak under our kitchen sink last week. It turned out to be our garbage disposal. Unfortunately it was older and a seal had broken. Before starting work he explained what the problem was very throughly. We talked about options. He quoted his estimated work time and parts cost and asked if we were alright with that. Stand up company. They have our business for life.

I needed some gas piping done and got one bid for $1100. I called Weld and Sons and got a phone estimate for $900. I knew the bid might be off a bit as it was site-unseen but went with them as they were lower and very friendly and competent on the phone.
The work was well done and on-time.
The bill came to $1900, not $900.
When they were done it was up to me to schedule the inspection even though upon finishing the job, the workers stated that they would probably need a pressure-test. Something they would need to be there for.
I scheduled the inspection and the inspector asked for a pressure test. I had to schedule an additional inspection, coordinating it with Weld and Sons, and it passed without issue.
I then got a $222 bill for the additional inspection. After a few phone calls  insisting that the original bill included inspection ( and that they knew this more thorough inspection would be required) they relented and only charged me $77.
The first bill clearly states If additional gas work is required by the inspector - additional charges will apply. There was no more work, they just didn't pass the first inspection. This should be their responsibility.

They did decent work. You can hire them but get the bid in writing and watch out for extra charges. Or find somebody without these issues.

Decent work but absolutely outrageous rates. These guys are the most expensive I have ever seen or worked with. I am probably a little extra irritated because of the fish symbol on the van combine with the most expensive rates . I don't think Jesus would approve of the rates boys.

These are the people you need in a crisis. We had a water pipe bust at 3am. Following clean up we immediately sent a request to them based on their yelp ratings, (4:30am). A lovely lady rang us back first thing in the morning around 7:30...and had someone out to our home by noon. The gentleman they sent, Scott, was just a delight. Respectful, knowledgeable, kind, hard-working...actually came in on his day off to help out. He did a fantastic job on our kitchen ceiling finding the burst pipe and another frozen one in no time...and with as little damage in cutting out the ceiling as possible. This is how you run a business and create raving fans. Thank you Scott and Weld & Sons!

Excellent service - prompt, courteous, and cleaned up after repair. Was a perk that this was the first plumber I have ever hired who didn't smell of cigarette smoke :)

I had water rushing down the ceiling in my bathroom from the condo unit above. It was 4th of July weekend and the entire mess was getting worse as I made many calls and wasn't able to find a plumber to come out. Weld & Sons had Zack come out right away and diagnosed that the issue wasn't a pipe but back up. Since they don't do drain clean outs I called Roto Rooter to come out and after they cleared the back up I still had water coming out from my ceiling. I called Vick and he had Zack come out right away and found out that Roto Rooter hadn't replaced the toilet in the unit upstairs correctly. In both instances that they came out they were quick and efficient. Vick called me after the service to check and see how things were going which was above and beyond in customer service. I hope to never need plumbing services again but if I do I will call them first.

TERRIBLE!  DON'T USE! Very bad service and I didn't even get past the initial phone call. Plus their prices are outrageous!
