Unlicensed / Uninsured Company
Beware! this Company is not licensed nor insured. This has been confirmed by IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health), who overses and regulates Plumbing Companies in IL.
We had hired A Plumber in 1 Hour Company to unclog our kitchen drain pipe. It was the first time we had done this.
During the process, it appears that a connecting PVC piece that is part of the drain, was cracked by the hard impact of the blades/cutter.
After a few months, we started noticing a damp smell in the basement (which is finished), when I noticed the ceiling was bowing in our pantry

Update: A plumber contacted us today to see if we still wanted service. We did, as we're renting our home out and needed work done before the 1st. The plumber came out, gave an estimate and did the work the same day. He actually saved us money by repairing an item that we thought we'd have to replace.
A Plumber in 1 Hour replied to my request on Amazon for an estimate to replace faucets and repair a leaking sink. They advised that they needed to come out to provide an estimate. The company provided two appointment windows for service. My husband agreed to a a 3pm - 5pm slot.

I am a contractor of 30+ years. I probably could have done this job myself but I was only in town to help renovate my daughter's condo so I didn't have all the tools and we didn't have the time. My daughter hired them from Thumbtack and the reviews were better but looking at yelp now, my experience makes sense.
There were numerous things that went wrong:
1. My daughter confirmed three separate times prior to the day of the time window (8-10 am) and stressed how we were on a tight time crunch. At 10:30 no one had called or answered a phone call to explain where the plumber was

Highly recommend looking elsewhere. Worst contractor experience ever.
We essentially paid $250+ to replace a toilet seat, a fill valve, and a broken handle. The other items that we were quoted for, and paid for, were not repaired correctly. They also used the wife's "good towels" hanging in bathroom to clean up their mess.
A day or two later the company called to see if we were satisfied with the service. When we told them that they hadn't solved all of the problems, they scheduled another appointment with us. No one showed up, no one called. We called again, set another appointment

I have used this company actually a few times and felt like i should finally put a review up.. The first time i used there service was back in 2013 for a faucet leak, thankfully it was no big deal and they were in and out in 25 min. Then again in 2015 i had a sump pump go bad on me and had no idea what i was getting myself into. The plumber that time was awesome and got the exact pump i wanted, he was trying to save me $ and had told me to get a cheaper model but i know what i wanted. Because of this i knew this co was not trying to nickel and dime me like most company's do. I had called them

Time to hold people accountable!
Had a small issue with leaking outside water spigot. Called to get a quote. Told him it's a small job and asked if he had experience with that kind of repair. He said he had lots of experience and we agreed on a time to meet that day.
The time of the appointment came and went with no call no show. I don't care how busy, tiered unprepared you are if you make an appointment you better call if your not keeping it.
As a result I wasted 3 hours waiting for this plumber and he didn't have the decency to text me he wasn't coming.

These guys are great. First off, they actually answer the phone when you call. If they happen to miss my call, they call back immediately. That says alot to me as a small business owner myself. They are honest, efficient, courteous and friendly. Best of all, they do great work. John replaced three toilets at our office today and even took care of a small item without previous notice.
I'd highly recommend them. Give them a call now !!

Had them install a water heater - they came out on Christmas Eve and were out within a couple of hours.
They were accessible, quick, and overall very easy to work with.
I had a very simple install and their initial price was a competitive ($250) but after additional fees, came out to just under $400. I wasn't super happy with that, but can't complain too much.

This Company was very professional, flexible with There times, and reasonably priced considering they fixed my issue on a Sunday without charging me anything extra. I just installed new carpeting and The plumber took off his shoes before entering my home (nice touch!), quickly diagnosed the issue, and fixed it just as quickly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and use them again!

I went with this company because the rates sounded reasonable $165 for the first hour, $85/hr after the first hour.
The plumber they sent to me (Gary) was kinda slow and unsure of what he was doing. It was a waste of my time. All I needed done was a kitchen faucet installed, drained pipes assembled, and dishwashing tube replaced.
This guy told me over the phone that its no problem he can fix it in about 2-3hours. When he got there he spent the first hour trying to figure out the dishwasher..then he said he couldn't do it. He had to call an appliance guy to fix it. Then i paid him $165

Today i made the mistake of putting too many potato peels down the disposal. we had a problem. on top of it, today also happens to be thanksgiving. i thought i'd ruined the day and didn't know if anyone would be able to fix this on a holiday. i called 'A Plumber in 1-Hour' and in less than 15 min., Gary called me back. He was at my house 30 min. later. He was so friendly and fixed the issue (plus corrected a lousy/leaky disposal install that might landlord had done). it's now 2 hours after i peeled potatoes and we're back in business! highly recommend them.

I needed a plumber to repair a toilet tank that was loudly leaking into the bowl. Glossing over the details, it wasn't an emergency, but my toilet tank was very vocal at about 30-second intervals by the time I finally got around to looking up a Chicago plumber. Again, not an emergency, but the sound--and after a while, the anticipation of the sound--was akin to Chinese water torture.
I may be exaggerating.
At any rate, after Googling "chicago plumber" and hastily looking through a few results (but, oddly enough, not Yelp; shame on me!), I decided on A Plumber in 1 Hour. It was

I have called this place twice.
Let me start with my first experience. I called on a weekday desperate to get my clogged toilet fixed. I saw "a plumber in 1 hour" and thought, "It must be expensive to be on call like that." I decided to try anyways. I called and they were unable to send anyone out til the next morning. So much for an hour, huh? Well, he came out and rodded our pipes for about $320. He did a good job with it and we were pleased.
My real problem came 3 months later. I got an email from my discover card that a big charge had posted to my account. I figured

I had a nonfunctional bathroom in a one-bath 2 bedroom apartment due to a clogged drain (tenant may have flushed something other than toilet paper, which can cause this to happen). It was a Saturday and I needed to have this fixed by Sunday afternoon. Gary Chapman was referred to me, and he was terrific about discussing the problem on the phone, then showing up on time the next day. As it turned out, the problem cleared itself out overnight, so he charged a very reasonable amount for a Sunday call ($40) and still educated me on the plumbing and regular maintenance in this rental building (which

BEWARE! They are a scam. Basically an unlicensed plumber (Jason West) comes to your house, builds your trust, and then encourages you to contract with him directly (not through the business, which is Julien Bell & Gary Chapman). He took me for $2000. Calls to Julien Bell and Gary Chapman result in a hang up.
