Best Plumbing Services in Chicago IL

My in-laws redid their kitchen and gave us their much newer dishwasher to replace our old one. I tried to hook up the new one myself but it was over my head. I reached out to Sims and Sons and spoke to Darrell, the owner. He got over to our house quickly and checked out the situation. He quoted me a fair price and he got right to work.

He had to run to Home Depot to pick up a couple of things but was clear about not charging me for travel time. When he got back, he and another guy quickly hooked everything up and actually made a couple of improvements to the setup.

Also, they did all of this on a Sunday and there were no extra charges for this! When they left, they made sure to leave everything spotless.

I'm happy with both the work and the price.

I will definitely use Sims and Sons in the future and highly recommend them.

Thanks, Darrell!

If I could give zero stars I would! What a total joke! They were responsive as in they came out. But, didn't say what they quoted as far as how long it would take.
One guy came out and he couldn't bring in dishwasher by himself (no dolly?) so he called another guy to come help. So he left until the other guy got there. Then the other guy did all the work, installed dishwasher and replaced the valve that broke under sink. All the while first guy,  only thing he did was change the arm on toilet flusher! Here's where the joke begins.... The guy who changed the toilet arm charged $139 per hour and the guy who did most work $89 per hour. First guy said he was there for  3.5 hrs and guy who did all the work was there for 1.5 hrs. So, yeah the first guy had to go to Home Depot for the part and that was included. I can tell you without a doubt it would not take 3.5 hrs to go to home depot and get the part then change it! I could do it in less time( this is my father in laws house , so I was there while guys were working). WE WILL NEVER EVER USE  AGAIN! The bill was unreasonable and after several emails, because nobody would call me ...I did get them to come down some on the bill. But, I  still feel like they took advantage of an old man with dementia! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

Joe does great work.  We have used him multiple times to hang up pictures for us, build our baby furniture, fix cabinets, build dressers, hang up a medicine cabinet.  

Highly recommended.

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.

Fabulous! Monkeyed around for 2 days trying to get something scheduled on Thumbtack. So intrusive they took my cc # and tried to make me download app.

The guys took care of me literally within an hour and Edgar was charming, clean, efficient and nice to my Daisy. I'll use them all the time!!!

Two problem with my past experience with the company
1. The estimates they quoted are so much higher than others.
2. The business owner is not open for price negotiation and seems very inpatient.

The good part is the technician Jose explains things in great details and is very patient when answering questions.

I have used The Good Guys for two projects, a small bathroom remodel & installing new kitchen cabinets. In both instances, they did a fantastic & professional job. Both times they sent Jamie to do the work, who was great about asking questions, communicating what he was doing, and explaining various options along with his recommendation.

In both instances, the time it took came in under the estimated time, which was nice as it helped save a little money.

It's been a great experience so far two calls. One for electric fixture and another for faucet replacement

Just had the HomeSweetHome inspection for the home I moved into in June. Rob McDonald was friendly, on time, super-tidy, and willing to teach me about my furnace system and how to look for problems. Everything checked out well, so I was finally comfortable turning the heat on, lol. He also checked my gas fireplace, two bath fans, electrical panel and the sump pump for issues. There was one issue with the fireplace that he couldn't repair (broken flue) but was upfront about it.  I know I'll need a new AC unit within a year or two, so I'll be using OneStop again for maintenance checks and repairs going forward. Thanks Rob!

Tom from HandiCo took care of a potpourri of small jobs for me. He was great and even called to let me know he'd be a few minutes late because of a delay at the previous job. All the items look good and seem to work well.

After 1.5 years in our new open concept home we had finally had enough of the extreme temps between the three floors.  Mike diagnosed that the original installers had incorrectly sized the return duct and filter.  Also, the home had never been balanced.  His crew did a great job of fixing the issue and installing the upgrades.  The system could finally breathe correctly and the temps were more even.  He came back a few weeks later to tweak the balance and everything is great.  On Mike's recommendations we added a Dynamic Air Cleaner and a Guardian UV Air cleaner.  The house is cleaner and our allergies are almost nonexistent now.  We've signed up for yearly maintenance.  Mike is extremely knowledgable and great to work with.

Billy is absolutely awesome! As a first time homeowner with a lot of questions (and repairs needed) Billy was there to help every step of the way. He took the time to show me where certain things were in my home (without me even having to ask him) and he gave me thorough explanations on every question I had. He is extremely personable, friendly, and fair with his pricing. We've recommended him to family members and friends. Billy is officially our go-to guy for everything! Thanks, Billy!! :)

Gino is very responsive on the phone, and that gave me a lot of confidence that there wouldn't be any gap in communication.

Santiago did a fantastic job patching drywall in three units of our condo building. He was on time, and a fast and conscientious worker, and was happy to communicate status whenever asked.  He even was willing to touch up the paint on the wall of one of the patch jobs, and that wasn't in the estimate.  (We didn't have the paint, though, so oh well.)

Thanks, Gino and Santiago!

Best All Around Fix-it Guy!

I called Kevin because paint was falling off the ceiling in my bathroom....he knew exactly what I was talking about and said it was no problem to fix!  He came out on a Monday and with all the tools and paint ready to get the job done!  A few hours later my bathroom looked like brand new!  He had his own vacuum and sucked up every bit of dust...he also wiped everything down with Windex!  My bathroom looked cleaner then before he did the work!!!!  I felt so comfortable with him in my home....I was able to leave and run errands without thinking twice about it!  He told me the price up front, was honest and I trusted him fully!  I just can't get over how clean and neat he was!  He is a young, smart and respectable man!  He even gave me tips on how to fix little things around my house myself!  I will defiantly be using Kevin again and will call him for referrals for everything...if he can't do it...he has a friend who can!  Thank you Kevin for fixing the huge eyesore that was causing me so much grief!

I found Hilman Construction on Yelp during winter break vacation. Chris was out of town, but called me right after the holidays were over. I had a few handyman jobs that had to be done.  Chris was very nice,professional and very honest. He told me his price per hour, and said that my work wouldn't take that long.  He suggested that I wait until I had more work so I wouldn't waste my money. He was very nice and helped me over the phone by telling me how I could try to resolve  one of the problems myself. Then on 1/27/13(today), I called him because I had water leaking under my sink. He told me they were not working today because of the extreme cold weather, but this was a small problem and he would stop by.  Chris fixed my leak without any problem. I then showed him things I need done when the weather warms up, and he took the time and looked at all my jobs, and suggested what could be done. He wouldn't even let me pay him, because he said he  really didn't have to do much. He is going to have  someone come tomorrow to do some other work I need done. I have used my fair share of handyman services and contractors and  I highly recommend Hilman  Construction. It's not easy to find a nice, honest and knowledgeable contractor. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to have met Chris and have him help us with our projects, both small and big.

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.

I called Alexander Swanson when a hole was discovered in the lower corner of my front door. He replied within the day and after looking at the photos sent, was able to offer some solutions. We set up a time to meet and he came out to look at the issue in person. After looking at the area he explained what he would fix, how he would fix it and walked through the steps. That was appreciated because it helped to know what was going on and what the options were. He also took health considerations into the options, which was very much appreciated and made sure that a vacuum was running to catch any dust the was created while fixing the door. On the day of the job he arrived and set straight to work. There was a clear focus on what needed to be done and no time was wasted. Not only did Alex and his partner work consistently, he took the time to make sure measurements were exact and sanded down the replacement wood block to ensure a great seal. It was great. I would highly recommend him to anyone and encourage you to try a company that listens to your concerns and makes sure the job is done expertly and cleanly.

Our door was forced open and the frame was damaged.  Al came over and fixed it to where you could barely tell it had been broken.  It was quick and reasonably priced.  I plan to use this company again for other projects we have.

These people are a fraud. Do not work with Krystle Stiff or Phillip Sanders. We signed a contract, paid thousands of dollars and have not been able to get a hold of anyone. They started work in Sept. Today is Nov 11 and the only thing done is demo in kitchen, living and dining room. Its been two weeks since they have responded to any communication.
