"Refiguring of Water line work for the tankless water heater was supposed to be performed with water shut off valve. Work was agreed to have started on Wednesday August 20th, 2025 exactly at 9am. My contractor and I made it really clear that our building, lake point tower, has given us 2 hour shutoff notice to the building residents and the work has to be started at 9 am sharp for the water shutoff process to start. We waited with the team of building engineer, maintenance and our contractor but the plumber did not show up , when called he said he was still on on his way at 9:40 am. They knew that time was of the essence. I called J Blanton office very upset they apologized and said to reschedule for next week and they will be very careful and prompt. We scheduled for the second time for work to start on Tuesday August 26th, 2025 at 9am sharp. The building engineer and maintenance notified the residents 48 hours in advance for the second time for the work to be performed on Tuesday August 26th, 2025 at 9am sharp. We made it very clear to J Blanton that this is a high rise building and shutoff time is dedicated to this job exactly at 9am and they have to be prompt and present on time. J Blanton promised they will appear on time and we should not have any problems. Well, again same thing happened. After their office emailed us today on August 26th at 7:59am that they have dispatched a plumber and he is on his way, plumber called at 8 am and said he will not be able to make it at 9am. We were very upset and furious to hear this response. This was the second time they left us hanging. Complete utter disregard for time and responsibility. They showed no responsibility, professionalism and no commitment to the word they had given us for such an important matter. For each water shutoff schedule building is charging homeowners $500. We lost two weeks of work and JB Plumbing shown no care or concern for the importance of scheduling this very time sensitive work and all the details that went into to arrange the water shutoff."

"We hired Jakubek Remodeling after getting quotes from several other contractors to completely remodel our basement. They were the most attentive, detailed, and professional. We were happy to see that Robert and Dawid maintained their top tier service level throughout the life of the project. The Jakubek team worked quickly and skillfully, and were all very respectful while working in our home. The final product is beyond our expectations, and it was really stunning to see them turn our dream into reality. The best part of working with Jakubek was the transparency as the project progressed, and clear and consistent communication from day 1 until project completion. We are very happy that we selected Jakubek to transform our basement, and overall it was a very positive experience."

Chicagoland's Reliable Home Improvement Company servicing the City of Chicago and most suburbs. We specialize in full remodels of kitchens, bathrooms, condos and basements. We do not offer repair work or partial remodels. Celebrating 25 years in business.

"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

Then they went ahead and cleared all the pipes of sludge until the water ran clear. They explained the issue was food residue buildup from the garbage disposal. That made sense since we has done a lot of summer and fall canning and used the disposal extensively. 6. They did a excellent job, very courteous and explained everything along the way.

FAQs for faucets, fixtures and pipes repair or replace projects in Naperville, IL

A bathtub faucet generally lasts 15 to 20 years, but this can depend on the type of finish and the overall quality of the faucet. Investing in higher-quality faucets often pays off with a longer-lasting product. Additional factors such as hard water, rust, or damage during use can shorten the life span of the faucet.

It's worthwhile to invest in the cost of repairing a leaky faucet if it's newer, but it's advisable to replace it if it's over 20 years old. The severity of the leak also plays a big role. Faucets with major leaks are often not worth the money or hassle of attempting repairs. Generally, a new faucet that leaks probably just needs a part tightened, but for an older faucet, it's a sign that it's time to replace it. Other signs you need to replace the faucet include rust, mineral deposits, or old age.

It usually takes a pro no more than an hour to replace a faucet. However, certain installations are more complex and time-consuming, such as pulling out the plumbing or putting in a showerhead. These types of jobs may take a few hours or even the better part of a day.

There are a few telltale signs that a tub cartridge needs replacing. These include:

  • Dripping water from the faucet

  • Difficulty turning faucet handles

  • Difficulty or inability to adjust water temperatures

  • Hot water coming out of cold-water faucets and vice versa

  • Inadequate heating of water

Yes, you can change a bathtub faucet without turning the water off, but only if you’re changing the faucet spout alone. If you’re changing the entire valve assembly, then the water must get shut off first. If there’s an individual shutoff valve for the bathtub, you can change the faucet without shutting off the entire water main line.
