Best House Repair in Chicago IL

Professional, detailed and on time! It was a refreshing experience working with Vanguard. Will recommend for future projects!

Ryan was very helpful and responsive. He was able to get me connected with 3 different Plumbing companies in Chicago!

Great service, they arrived on time and toilet installation went well, they were in and out and got the job done! Highly recommend. Will use them for any future plumbing needs.

Very friendly and helpful service! Thank you!

Pablo and his crew we absolutely wonderful to work with. We had a full renovation of a bathroom and it looks excellent. We would highly recommend Pablo and crew!

Mike, Allstar Plumbing, properly installed a new ejector pit with high quality ejector pump for basement toilet (digging new pit) replacing old pipes with new properly configured pipes to code. Excellent, clean and neat cement work with tremendous work on upstairs toilet replacement and two faucets upstairs and downstairs. I recommend Allstar Plumbing to anybody in Chicagoland...

Best plumber ?

Highly recommended! Very responsive owner, knowledgeable and courteous crew. I have worked with this company for several years on a variety of project types and, from new construction to problem issues, they always come through with top notch results.

Made an appointment and took time out of my work day only to find that they no call/no showed.

Got the whole house repiped. They did an outstanding job, couldn't be happier, best money we've ever spent.

Joe was the best. Was quick , on time & explained everything in detail . Good price too.

These guys are really professionals.Best plumbers I ever hired..

I have used these guys repeatedly after purchasing my first condo. This company is reliable and excellent with communication! The technicians have all been pleasant and very knowledgeable. Fixer has become my “go to” company for all handyman needs around the condo.

The company seems very promising; can't wait to start.

9/24/20 update:Tom contacted me after I posted the original review, reiterated his regret about our experience and offered to do some additional work to make things right. We took him up on the offer and were pleased with the timeliness and quality of the additional work.I'm adding a star to my original rating because I can see that Tom truly cares about doing a good job and making things right, and I completely respect and appreciate that.Original review:We used Fix It People to do some renovations and repairs at a condo we purchased before moving in. Our experience wasn't completely horrible, but it most definitely wasn't great, and I would not recommend using this company.The good:1. Tom's (the general contractor/manager) estimates were detailed and easy to understand2. The crew showed up on time and kept the condo and common areas very clean3. Mirek was the stand-out individual on the team. He had the best communication skills, attention to detail, and really approached the work as if it were his own home. If you do decide to use this company, make sure you get Mirek to do as much as possible.4. We originally selected materials that we learned were out of our budget, and Tom was good at finding similar options within our price range.5. We ended our work with Tom before everything was finished due to multiple issues, described below. Tom did acknowledge the poor experience and fairly charged us for the work that was completed.The bad:1. The electrician we had was not good. He seemed to get confused, he messed up the switches and tried to tell us that that's how it was originally, and he was generally horribly slow. I would not recommend this company for any electrical work, period.2. Tom seemed very disconnected to the work going on and to his team's status. We had to bring up issues with him to ensure they were planned and corrected in order to stay on our timeline. He would also send one person to do work that should have had two people, notably the install of our range hood.3. Speaking of timeline, Tom does not display any kind of project management discipline in planning. We had to prompt him to give us a project schedule. He provided us with a very high-level timeline, and he didn't stick to it. There were multiple occasions when we learned about delays after-the-fact. I understand that sometimes delays happen, but the communication was mostly lacking. We told Tom that we expected more proactive communication, and he did adjust to a degree, but not nearly enough.4. Overall, aside from Mirek's excellent work, the work quality of the team was mediocre. If we hadn't stayed on top of the progress on a daily basis and managed Tom to manage his team appropriately, we would not have been pleased with the end result.My general assessment is that Tom took on too much work and was stretched too thin. I believe he wanted to do a good job for us, but he didn't. He had really pressured us to commit to doing this work because he said he only had one team left for the timeframe in which we wanted the work done, but I think he would have been better served to let our work go, and we would've been better served, too.

Mo came within 24 hours of contacting him to fix a couple of patches of water damaged ceiling. He did a great job repairing the ceiling and was very friendly as well. He even checked out the plumbing work we had recently had done in our bathtub and added a bit of silicone to make sure we definitely wouldn’t have more leaks (at no extra charge). I would definitely recommend Mo to others as he is skilled and reasonably priced.

Extremely expensive plumbing company. For rodding the bathtub (up to 15 ft) they charged me $350. Service was during regular hours, during the weekday.
Don't use them.
