Best Free Plumbing Estimate in Chicago IL

Great work from mario and the rest of the staff recommend to everybody

I can’t praise Roto-Rooter enough for the work they did for me. Everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous. The technician, Herman, is the hardest working serviceman I have ever had in my home. They went above and beyond in the level of customer service all other companies offer. I HIGHLY recommend Roto-Rooter for any pluming related issues you may have.

I had some water leakage problems on a toilet in my Rogers Park Condo. I'm not home often and my roommate didn't know what to do. I contacted VanDerBosch as they had done a fantastic job for my partners home a few months back in Andersonville with fixing (2) sink leaks and replacement of some faucets all done at a reasonable price and relatively quick amount of time. Upon calling VanDerBosch, Lauren helped get me scheduled for a tech to come out within a couple hours. Upon arriving at my home, Joe, my technician, was able to figure out what the problem was and called me to explain what was happening and gave me a free quote on the spot. Since it was a minor fix and we had a temporary answer to our water leak problems, I chose not to have them do the work as I can do it myself but I know that I have a trusted guy that I can call on for any future problems. I feel confident in referring this plumbing company to others since I had a good experience and I have seen completion work performed at my partners home and the tech was polite, low pressure and the area was left clean. Thanks Lauren and Joe for your help and advise without the pressure. You have earned a new customer today.

After a DIY failure, I contact Go-Rooter on a Friday evening and received an email response within minutes. It wasn't an emergency but they came early Saturday morning to fix the clogged bathroom sink. They are not the cheapest but they are responsive, timely and provide great service. I highly recommend.

All Pro plumbing did a outstanding job with finding a crack in our waterline, The 2 young men were prompt as a matter of fact early, knowledgeable and truly professional. I appreciate the work and will let others know about All Pro Plumbing. Thanks All Pro.

Logan and Djenkins came out same day to fix an issue with my toilet. They were efficient and professional. No complaints!

John and Chas did not disappoint. I live in an older high rise, and they met every challenge (even the chief maintenance engineer) with professionalism and aplomb. Best of all, I have an awesome new bathroom pedestal sink, and kitchen faucet. They even taught me how to hook up the portable dish washer. Thanks, guys! Cairn Hutter

I and my wife called couple plumbers in the area but they're all booked up. Lucky that CJ Plumbing and Heating was very fast in scheduling us in for fixing bathroom leak and replacing the toilet. They were very professional in getting the job done in a very short time. Thank you

Sam is a quality person and did outstanding work navigating a very challenging plumbing situation. Everything worked perfectly. Prompt and excellent communication.

Had an issue with a toilet that had a bad fill valve. They replaced it, it works. I was charged three hundred and fifty seven dollars. If your reading this shop around. Bob was my tech.

Fast, efficient and clean. These guys did great work. They had to open one wall (wet wall) to get to the pipes but you would be hard pressed to tell they did any cutting. They used a hepa filter vacuum while they cut and there wasn't any dust. They are the cleanest trade I ever dealt with. They brought their own trash can and cleaned up every step of the way. They finished in 3 days including patching. I will have to lightly sand before priming the patch work, but that is it. While the pressure didn't increase (city water pressure comes in at 40psi) the increase in volume was substantial. Would whole heartily recommend.

Juan and Anthony were exceptional with the work they did. Juan explained what he was doing which is something no other repair person has done. They arrived when we expected them and the price was reasonable. We will definitely call on them again if needed.

Prompt response time and quick unclogging of my kitchen sink. Will use in the future.

I had the best experience with Fix It People. We needed to paint our entire house and reached out to FIP for a quote. We ended up using them and I am SO GLAD we did. They were professional, on time, and did an excellent job. All of my friends (even the non-observant ones) commented on how nice the paint job looks. The lines are SO crisp! We will definitely be using them to remodel our kitchen. Use these guys — you won’t regret it!!

Horrible:
- Arrived very late. Service was scheduled for 10am, and they didn't arrive until 12pm. No time window was provided, either
- Unresponsive. The manager was supposedly always in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone
- Lack integrity. While the plumber was present and had already inspected the issue, I was told a repair would require switching a standard Chicago faucet. An hour later, the story was switched to needing a special order faucet

Stay away if you value your time, your money and your sanity.Despite what their website portrays, they are just a middleman - a dispatch of whatever plumbing school dropout is available to take the call. Even though this introduction service is not outlined on their website, it seems to be the core of their business plan. Oops, they forgot to be able to provide fast service. And then when their lackey showed up, he screwed us royalty just in time for Christmas.Let me tell you our story. We had a leaky external spigot to fix. I called A Plumber Now (APN) and left a message. My call was returned promptly and an appointment was made for the next day at 1:00pm. The appointment came and went. An hour after the plumber was to arrive, I called and left a message. Some guy who identified himself as APN called back and said he'll be by in two hours. Two hours came and went and then I called that plumber's cell phone. He didn't answer. Another guy called back and said he'd be out in a couple of hours. He made it out to determine that the majority of the work would need to take place inside the walls of the basement unit of our building. He killed the water, took a $500 deposit made out to A Plumber Now without giving the requested receipt and made an appointment with those unit owners for the next morning. One day blown and two people inconvenienced.The next day, that 10:00am appointment came and went. They showed up at 1:00pm. They ripped into the wall and stated that the piping had to be replaced all the way back to the water heater. We couldn't understand how that would be possible but we aren't plumbers so... The quote was for $3000. I complained and magically the price dropped to $2300. We bit the bullet and agreed stating that we'd need a fully itemized receipt. We got one from Flow Rite Inc. and were told to write the check to that name.They did some work, not the work on the invoice however. Instead of replacing 10 feet of copper pipe all the way to the water heater, they replaced maybe 3 feet with a used, dented up, beat on, flattened piece of copper. The solder didn't hold and there was drip. They tried to putty that but it didn't work because it shouldn't. Then they put some teflon threading tape over it, left and I am sure you can see where this is going. That was day two without water and two people having lost their days.We called APN on day three. We left a message that we still had a leak. Tess, the APN phone rep, called the unit owner back apologizing and she sent another plumber. That plumber came out and was dumbfounded by the work. He said it was horrible. We showed him the itemized invoice and he concurred fully that we were not given anywhere near what the invoice promised. With that, he consulted with his boss (he was from yet another company that is dispatched by APN) and was told to not touch the job. He said we needed to call back Flow Rite. He left.We called the number on the invoice. This number does not accept incoming calls by request of the owner was the message. We called the plumber's cellphone. Voice mailbox was full. We left a message with APN that still hasn't been returned. We texted Tess and she said she doesn't know anything about that plumber. She saw our invoice courtesy of the second plumber and said it wasn't hers. Despite it being the invoice we got from the plumber she sent, she said it wasn't hers.We immediately put a stop payment on the $1800 but Tess had already cashed the $500 deposit. Remember, Tess doesn't know who the plumber (from Flow Rite) was that gave her our $500 deposit. She has yet to return any of our calls. She takes a lot of lunch breaks at all hours of the day. We never heard from Flow Rite again and good riddance. We had Rocket Plumbing out to clean up the mess. They did everything we needed, quickly, and for $822 out the door. Rocket was brilliant.
