Best in Chicago IL

I had just closed on my house on 03/26/20 Wednesday, and then discovered a little puddle of water in my basement by the floor drain and furnace today, 03/28/20 Sat. I have not even moved in my house yet so I was freaking out. The home warranty company I purchased, American Shield Home Warranty, were horrible! When I called them to send a plumber, they said they would send one asap and have them call me. Well, I kept calling them, and gave up after waiting for three hours since no one would follow up on my service request.

So, I decided to do a google search for plumbers and found Mr. Burris' company. I decided to call them. Mr. Burris called me in less than an hour and asked what the problem was. When I told him the problem, he said that he was coming right away.

Not only did Mr. Burris diagnose the problem right away, he fixed it. The water turned out not to be anything major. Mr. Burris was honest and he did not try to advantage of me since I was a new homeowner. He went above and beyond his duty. He educated me on my heating, cooling, and plumbing system and that is priceless.

Thank God for Mr. Burris. I highly recommend him

My experience with Jerry's Pump Service was outstanding in every way. Highly recommended!

Martin is an excellent handyman and a reminder of why it's best to leave it to the professionals.

I had several pending home projects, and he completed them quickly and accurately. He even offered suggestions on where certain items should be placed.

I highly recommend this company for any home projects.

Fixer did an excellent job replacing the basement front door on my house.
The door is not standard dimensions, so the job took two steps:
1. Have Fixer order the door and wait for it to come in
2. Have Fixer pick up the door from Home Depot, abd Fixer install the door.

Emergency plumbing installed our toilets in three of our bathrooms. They even pointed out things to us we hadn't noticed about a pipe that had been leaking which was so helpful! We were so pleased with this experience that we asked them to come back to cap pipes in our basement. Very reasonable price and great on timing.  Very friendly!

Would strongly avoid these guys and the associated headache.

They failed to fix the problem, only half-heartedly tried. They were slow to return when the issue immediately reappeared (despite it being obvious they didn't fix in the first place--they assured it had worked). They also didn't perform all the services charged for (scoping). And no itemized receipt for the services, conveniently. Required deposit, conveniently.

Had to get another company to fix their mess after a hefty bill. The other company did it faster, better, and cheaper.

Now they're ghosting on money they promised to return as a partial refund (itself frustrating since  other company was paid do what they failed to do). Not answering calls.

To call unprofessional is charitable.

I called them because they were in the area. They came fast and very convenient. Not sure if they where pricey but got the job  in less than an hour from time of call.

Just had our water heaters go out in the home we bought last year ( water heaters were only 6 years old and one exploded)... I called excel last week and they were responsive and quickly came over.. We have a large home so we needed replacement  water heaters that could handle 6 bathrooms/ two laundry rooms...  They also noticed that our sump pump had been malfunctioning and gave us a quote for it...  The service was fabulous, price was slightly higher than the other quotes I got but their team was the most skilled ..

Nothing is worse than getting a phone call at work during the day of an emergency plumbing leak.  After calling around to a few places, the team at Your Helpful Plumber were extremely helpful and accommodating in getting a plumber to my house within a few hours.  

They were extremely helpful, friendly, and got the problem fixed under 30 minutes.

Most satisfying was that they didn't take advantage of a terrible situation and were completely understanding.  The charged a very fare price for a water leak emergency, when most places will gauge you or try to rip you off.

Need a plumber?  Call these guys.  Dependable, knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely fair priced.

Excellent job!  They were able to come out same day and  fix two issues in record time!  Nicolas is very knowledgeable and everyone we dealt with has fantastic customer service.   We will definitely use their services for all our plumbing needs in the future.

We called yesterday because our laundry ejector pump was not working properly.  Fortunately, there wasn't an emergency but Keeley's was still able to fit us into the schedule the next day.  Sam arrived on time, promptly diagnosed the problem, and replaced the pump.  The pricing was as stated on theirwebsite, and Sam's service was 5-star.  Our home is a bit outside their service area, so we truly appreciated them coming out out way.  We will continue to recommend Keeley's to family and friends.

Body Plumbing did  our City of Chicago Backflow Device testing for our house (we have a home sprinkler system).  He came in about half the price of a few other places we called.  He was on time, very nice and professional and did all the paperwork.  Highly recommended, great experience.

Needed to find a new Backflow inspection company for our home - as our previous vendor chose to shoot up prices beyond our budget.
I was very pleased to have discovered Chicago Backflow.
People I dealt with like Nick, Tiffany, Jessica - and our technician Alan are all superb.  I get the sense this company must be managed very well, because everyone has a very nice attitude and exudes warmth.
Alan showed up right on time at 7am (even with snow falling) and was efficient and had a very kind demeanor.
Price was appropriate.
I'll look forward to working with Chicago Backflow again on my annual inspection next year.  Thanks again, Mark S.

After calling a handful of Chicago plumbers, I called John to inquire about fixing a toilet tank that won't fill.  He gave me a price range over the phone and was able to fit me in on short notice. He was friendly, explained the work and why and charged me a price within the range he had quoted me over the phone - which happened to be at least 15% less than his competitors.  He seems to understand the long term value of a customer much more so than many of his competitors who seem to have no issues in charging inflated prices despite the research available on the Internet.

Long story short, manually snaking our drain didn't work, and then the water got left on all night, causing water to leak onto the floor, down into the kitchen.  yay...  They fit me in at 2:30 same day, came out, rodded out the sink, advised again rodding the downstairs shower due to sewer gases, and were on their way in 30 minutes.   And I have a working sink.   Thanks!  I should add they were professional, knowledgeable, and even put up with my dog.

Friendly, honest, and most importantly, when it was raining in my basement, they came within 2 hours on a Saturday. They took the time to talk to me, educate me, and they were so respectful and careful when in my home! Their price was ridiculously fair and they referred me to the next company for the big repair needed on my main sewer line. He told me exactly how to talk about the services I need and told me what I should look for as a fair price. George took me to the basement, took the cap off the sewer line, handed me a flashlight, and told me what I was looking at. He is such a sincere, helpful, honest businessman... I just can't thank him enough. He had an apprentice with him and just observing how patient and kind George was as he taught the next generation of plumber spoke volumes about who he is as a person. A million times over I recommend this company!

Got a referral from my neighbor who used Jay at a hotel she managed.  Been plagued with low water in both bathtubs for years.  Finally got fed up and called Jay. He called and come out that day.  After 45 minutes he cleared both lines for $80. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long.

They are a professionally-run business. Their customer service and responsiveness are top-notch through and through. They are honest and upfront in their dealings and all of their fees. The problem is they want too much in fees. I was quoted a premium price of ~$2,200 whereas I was quoted $600-$1,300 less from two other licensed/bonded/insured plumbers for the exact same work.

They will charge you an additional $125 for them to provide their license/insurance if you need to secure your homeowner's association's approval. It is virtually unheard of for any contractor (plumbing, electrical, general, etc) to charge this fee. You should NOT have to pay this. JBlanton should know better and I think they do. They should either get rid of this ridiculous fee to stay competitive or switch their insurance company if they're imposing this cost onto them.

If your property is not part of an association and budget is not a concern, JBlanton will serve you well. Otherwise, regardless of what your budget is, on a matter of principle, don't let yourself pay an unnecessary fee for that license/insurance (for all you condo/townhouse dwellers out there)
