Best Faucet Repair in Chicago IL

$129 down the drain for less than an hour of work having nothing fixed than screwing a door knob back on. Everything else was above their pay grade(!! At $129 an hour!!)  or would need more time to fix (and btw instead of recommending a replace they would go at it for more hours and per a true professional their suggested solution not viable long term).  Not handy in any sense of the word.  Concept is great and convenient in theory. Dispatcher responsive but quality of technicians questionable.  Don't count on them fixing the simplest of things otherwise you will be disappointed.  Will never use again.  Avoid this type of service.  They're out to bill their hourly much like attorneys and accountants but with no work quality guarantee.  Do not leave your credit card on file as they will charge you automatically and you're in no position to handle a situation where they did not deliver.

They seem to have done a good job overall, but it was hard to communicate with them. He came fairly quickly to give me a quote and explained everything he was going to do. He seems very knowledgeable about his job and gave me a good price. However, he must be very busy because after I agreed to the quote it was hard to get answers to my questions. Then, he was supposed to return to finish putting the plate on the wall and to adjust the lights as they are motion lights and one of them only turns on for a second and then it goes off, so now I'm left with trying to fix those final minor things. I'm not handy man, so that's just annoying to me.

Just as a follow up, they did come and finish the loose ends. My advice is that if you sense your questions or concerns are not being met, just reach out to the owner of the company, Jesse!

Mo was great. I had a list of tasks and he took care of each one. From fixing a hinge on an outside gate, caulking in two bathrooms, replacing a faucet, replacing toilet rings, and redoing a laminate floor. Each was accomplished in a timely manner and  was quality work. I would definitely hire him again.

I've used fixer about 10 times in the last year and each time was a very pleasant experience.  They even did a partial remodel of two bathrooms for me with new paint, vanity, mirror and light and I paid much less than a general contractor would have charged.  Very easy to book and responsive.

Dan just left after unplugging my sewer line. Efficient, fast, knowledgeable and  he left  things as clean as they were when he got here.

Recently bought a home and our shower stopped working. Some how the shower passed the home inspection. I came to yelp for help in the area. ABI had great reviews so I gave them a try. Billy came out asap and helped me resolve my issue in the very same week. He even explained some homeowner maintenance and tips to me as well (im a first time owner).I will definitely be using this company time and time again!

The pricing is confusing. I was charged an $89 fee to show up which I understood as what would typically be the diagnostic fee and then $125/hr. The guy was here for 20 min, could not actually do the repair, and needed to go do research to see if the parts were available to do the work and I am left with a $214 bill. As an architect who works with construction people on a daily bases, this is not how I have ever seen someone do business. I would say to make sure that they have the capability to do the job and get everything in writing beforehand.

I was very happy with the work done by Welter Home Services.  Kevin was easy to reach and communicate with, especially given how busy they are.  Kevin and Dan put in a garbage disposal (including all necessary wiring/switching) and new closet doors for us, and we will be using them to re-tile our bathroom floor as soon as we decide on tile.  They also replaced a shut-off valve for the kitchen sink, and when our main supply valve to the house got stuck (common on older houses), Kevin quickly coordinated a licensed emergency plumber and the Village Public Works department, to get the water shut off at the street and the main supply valves replaced immediately.  I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I wouldn't recommend this company.  Had an appointment schedule and confirmed with company and they never showed up. There excuse was that I didn't confirm with a second time.  If I gave you my address and confirmed with you the day before the time then that should be good enough. This company is a flake.

I needed a new fan installed in each of my two bathrooms in my condo.  I liked the service Joe provided when repairing a broken lock (from essentially a break-in) and so I thought I'd give him a call again.  He was able to help me understand that completely replacing the fans in my bathrooms would be a very time-consuming undertaking that would also require significant manual labor that included replacing some of the ceiling after he ripped the old fans out.  I was a little disheartened at his assessment of the situation because I had already purchased new fans to be installed.  Joe did tell me that the cheaper, and easier option would be to replace the motors in the old fans and get them running in just a couple hours.  Long story short, he replaced the motors and got the fans working again.  If that was the end of the story, he would have a 5 star rating.  

I'll admit that Joe is able to fix just about anything.  I've had good success with his work, although he does charge $90/hour for labor.  (Which knocked his rating down one star.) But during the last visit to fix my bathroom fans, he was quick to identify a number of other things he could fix in my condo if I let him.  I let him fix a few other things but realize now that I paid for it, literally.  I take the blame for not keeping him focused on what I originally called him to fix, the bathroom fans, because at the end of it all I ended up paying for the time he spent talking with me and tinkering with silly things that didn't really need to be addressed on this visit.  

The other part of the service call that was frustrating is that he needed to leave my place to pick up some parts at a local hardware store.  He called ahead and said the store had what he needed so he left to pick them up.  Upon his return, about 45 minutes later, he did not have the parts he needed and said he would have to come back another day to finish the job.  Not that big of a deal.  The real issue is that not only did Joe expect me to pay him for the time he spent in the car driving to get parts that he didn't bring back, the job was going to span two separate days AND he wanted to charge me a $40 service call fee for both trips.  I was taken back by this because not only did the estimated 3 hour job unfold into over 4 hours, it spanned two days and I was being charged for him to drive around in his car.  I did not take very fondly to this and made sure to tell Joe.  He ultimately 'waived' the second service call fee that he shouldn't have charged me and completed the job on a day about two weeks later.  (Minus a second star because I had to unnecessarily argue my case and win.)

When he left my place after the first visit, he did NOT clean up after himself and I found myself sweeping and cleaning up his work mess.  If he was coming back the next day, it wouldn't have been a problem but when he left he said, I'll call you when the parts come in a we can schedule another appointment.  Thanks buddy but next time, please clean up after yourself.  (Minus another star.)

I don't enjoy arguing with service people because they know infinitely more about what they are doing than me.  I understand it's a business and they need to make money, which is why I call for their help for fix things and defer to their expertise in all cases.  Will Joe the Handyman get the job done?  Yes.  Will he do quality work?  Most likely.  Will he clean up after himself?  Not consistently.  Will he charge you for a service call and $90/hour?  Yes.  Will I call him again?  Only if other handyman services fail me.  Sorry, Joe.

Loved guy showed up in a mask. He was polite, efficient and prompt. I plan to have him do some work for me after the thanksgiving holiday.

Loved working with Don and his son! I had a broken dishwasher, and I thought I would have to spend almost $1k to replace it. But Don & son saved the day! They were fast, efficient, and price was very reasonable. I'd recommend them to anyone who is in need of repairs.

We needed our rotting door jamb replaced on an exterior door.  We needed it fixed quickly as we couldn't use the back door.  
Alex and Anthony came out just 1 day after I requested a quote and did a great job repairing the door!
