Get matched with top pipe repairers in Rogers-park, IL

"Love this company! Kevin saved us thousands of dollars and that is not an exaggeration. Our toilet/tub backed up. We had another company come out and take a look at it... first of all they couldn't even clear the clog, told us they had to break open the floor and change 4 inch pipes to 6 inch pipes add a sewer clean out (there is one) etc. I called Kevin, the owner, and told him what this guy planned to do. I asked if he could possibly send someone out to take a look as I was in dire straits. Kevin's team easily cleared out the sewer line of tree roots both in the basement and then out to the street, used a camera to check that the lines were clear. Green Tech is extremely good at what they do,. They have some of the best rodding equipment out there, they are honest, kind, very knowledgable and is reasonable with regards to fees. They will definitely be our first call going forward. We are so grateful we found them and highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing assistance."

"I called Jon after an unsuccessful call back from other plumbing company. He was scheduled to come out on saturday and while he did show up, he did show up late.  i assume he's a busy guy.  i had cleared the cabinets, removed drywall to expose the pipes to make it easier to work and sure enough, he was in and out in 20 minutes.  He replaced two sections of busted pipe and then reconnected them.  i thought the price was fair.  
he does provide some additional info on how to keep this from happening which i appreciated. 
i plan to call him for a future project estimate."

"Did a fantastic job in less time than expected and was very professional! Will be my go to in the event I need any plumbing done."

"As many people in the Chicagoland area likely experienced, we had some plumbing issues as a result of the Great Polar Vortex of 2019. Since we were running our water to prevent pipes from freezing, we found that we had drainage issues with our upstairs bathroom. We noticed a leak staining our kitchen ceiling and basement wall so we figured it was coming from the upstairs bathroom since that's where we had the sink turned on to drip. Guillermo came over on a Saturday to take a look at the problem. He arrived on time but wasn't 100% prepared for the task at hand. I was a little concerned with his indecisiveness on where to begin looking for a problem. He kept asking me where I wanted him to cut into the wall and look but I'm not the professional, you are. I guess maybe he was doing it because he was going to have to cut into drywall and he wanted me to give him permission to do it so I wouldn't be mad? I'm not sure but it wasn't super professional especially since I have no clue what is going on inside the walls. I don't know what different types of leaks look like and, presumably, he does. He ended up cutting way too much drywall, including in the back of the pipes and then couldn't even see the drain pipe to the plumbing he was there to inspect. Our insurance likely won't cover that so we'll be on the hook for repairing it. Sigh. Once Guillermo guessed the source of the leak, the plumber still had questions. He basically said he could cut into the ceiling under the toilet and look around or take the toilet out and see if it was a flange issue. He wanted me to make that call even though I don't know anything about plumbing. Of course, he cuts into more drywall, can't see a leak, so he still has to go take the toilet off. Turns out the toilet and the drain pipe were the issues. In the midst of cutting into the ceiling, the plumber realizes he doesn't have a ladder tall enough to see into the ceiling and neither do we. He has to go to a hardware store in the middle of all this to get one and then he comes back with a broken one (not his fault, but such a time suck). So he's out again to get a new ladder to replace the broken one just so he can look up into our ceiling. I feel like all the plumbers should be equipped with ladders and other equipment they might need in all kinds of houses because we aren't the only people in Chicago with high ceilings. That ended up being 90 minutes of time we'd never get back just waiting for him to come back and finish the diagnosis. Once we figured that out, we waited for the instillation crew to come in and replace a few feet of drain pipe and install a new flange for the toilet. We had to wait four days for someone to come and do the install which seems a bit long for a job that takes about two hours. Same thing happened with the install crew: they didn't have the correct size flange so they had to stop work and go to the hardware store. They were gone for almost an hour so my husband was just stuck waiting. They did a good job on the install once they were back and had the right equipment so our toilet is in fine, working order and draining properly. We ended up paying about $1900 for all of this work, the majority of which was labor costs. It really seems a bit high that these guys are making about $250 an hour for "work" that included going to Home Depot to get more supplies that they didn't come with in the first place. The work they did shouldn't have even taken that long and I got stuck with the bill, which seems odd. Another $375 of that was just to let the first plumber make holes in my wall that weren't totally necessary just to discover the toilet flange wasn't big enough. I know that it's not his fault that he couldn't see that the toilet was installed improperly from the outside, but it was really upsetting to have the plumber basically ask me what to do in terms of where to look for plumbing problems I know nothing about. Their customer service was always nice and easy to deal with, so that was a plus. Overall, I am happy with the work that they did since my toilet works and is no longer leaking, but I felt like the process of dealing with the plumbers in the house was somewhat unprofessional since the first didn't seem to know what to do and both sets of plumbers did not come prepared with the equipment they needed to do their jobs."

"Phil and his crew were terrific. Phil came on a Saturday (within one day of my inquiry) and completed the job on Monday. My back porch was sagging because of the broken pipe, so Phil brought in concrete blocks to prop it up temporarily until I can have it repaired. Great work, and concerned about my safety. Highly recommend. Also his price was much more reasonable than other bids."

"Overall the job went very well. They were timely, professional and they did a good job. They cleaned up after themselves."

"Dmitry and his team were phenomenal throughout the entire process! All of my bathroom fixtures and flapper valve were worn out, leading to multiple leaks. They were able to identify the sources and replace all the parts quickly and professionally. Thank you! I highly recommend CJ Plumbing & Heating. Would work with again, too."

"Joe impressed me from the start by returning my call from his vacation to set up time to come give estimate when he returned. He was not only on time, but early on the day of estimate. The estimate was a range of cost based on the fact we didn't know what damage we would find in terms of whether the mold spread behind tub surround. Thankfully when the wall was open we could see it hadn't spread so it was at the low end of the estimate even with us adding an extra job on there that I forgot to inquire about. The work was done in two stages. Joe and his plumber came out the first day to do all plumbing related work. They switched out all the bathroom trim from builders grade that came with house to a nice satin nickle that we provided. It looks great. The shut off valves under sink were locked up from age/corrosion so they needed replaced so the sink was a little more involved than initially thought. The reverse osmosis we provided to replace our old one was quite different and the fittings and lines were different so it was a little tricky but they got it up and running for a fraction of previous quotes we had gotten from other plumbers. The drywall repair was done by his drywall guy the next day. Did a good job repairing the bathroom in a tricky spot that left little room for working. The drywall repair plan for my son's room was to cut out the wall my husband destroyed trying to hang a floating desk, put a cross support in and then put up the new drywall. Once the wall was open and we could see what was behind it, it proved to be more labor intensive to put in the cross support because of the odd things running through the wall and made the desk trickier to hang. But it's up and secure which puts us mikes ahead of where we were. My only real complaint was having to scrub some drywall mud out of the carpet that spattered outside of where the dropcloth was but it's not a big deal. All in all I'm happy and will gladly hire Carlson Contracting again and have already inquired on a quote for a different job. The Angie's list coupon was a bonus and helped us save money."

"Prompt, professional, quick service.  Have used this plumber for many years at Wood address, and he has always done a great job.  Very reasonable pricing, and shows up when he says he will.  Excellent plumber when you want it done right the first time.

"We had been having some sewer line problems in our old home for awhile, had another plumber who did a quick fix but was unresponsive. J. Blanton's team came in to replace some damaged sewer pipe in our home, quoting us about $5000. They were very communicative and got someone out to my home to take a look around and provide an estimate quickly. Shortly after they started the job, they told us that they needed to do additional work, totaling about $4000, which we went ahead with. As they were finishing up the second job, they informed us that the water line into our house was leaking and needed to be replaced, and quoted us $13,500 to replace the water line and the sewer line, though at that point they had no evidence of damage in the sewer line-- sort of a "while we're in there..." 
I reached out to a friend who is a general contractor and another who is a plumber, and received quotes from two other plumbers whose work came recommended by those I trust. The other two estimates came in around $5500-- less than half what we were quoted by J Blanton-- for replacement of the water line into the house, and neither of the other plumbers recommended replacing the sewer line until they could cam the line and see if there was any damage. I asked J Blanton for a revised quote for just the water line-- no sewer line replacement-- which reduced the quote to about $11000-- still double what other companies quoted us.
When I told J Blanton that we received another quote and were going with another company, several of their staff questioned whether the companies that provided the quotes were properly licensed to do the work (they were), if their quote was inclusive of all city permits and inspections required (it was), if they used their own staff or day labor (something that concerned me, but we verified that both companies used their own employees to do the work).
