Chicago Gas Line Repair

Recent Review: RJ Graham was very professional and prompt in there dealings with me. We hired them to extend an existing interior gas line to a different area of the house, through the exterior wall, and install a valve outside to be used with our grill. I was not available at the time they came take a look at the job and provide an estimate, they walked my wife(novice in home repair) through the entire process until she was comfortable with everything. Their work was clean, professional, and timely. I could not be any more happy with the end results and they will be the first call I make if I ever need a plumber.

Recent Review: Work was evaluated for the $29 service call. Price to do the work, even with $100 credit, was significantly more than I expected. I did not have work done.

Recent Review: The work was done quickly, neatly, and came in under the estimated cost. They were also friendly and informative. This was the second time I have used Vanguard and I will definitely call them again for the next job in my home.

Recent Review: I sent an e-mail to Fine Gas Repair who responded by phone the next day to ask what the project entailed. NOTE: due to high auto fuel prices they attempt to do quotes from the office for smaller jobs when possible. This is understandable considering the time and money that would be involved in traveling 30 miles roundtrip for such a small job. They quoted me $250, which was $150 cheaper than the other quote that I got where the contractor DID do an in-house estimate. Don't be fooled by "free estimate" claims, contractors build these in-home visits into their final price. If they didn't, they would lose money on every job they didn't get. Dan showed up on-time and did a great job with moving my old gas line to the new location in the kitchen. He took the time to make sure the new line was as snug to the walls and basement ceiling as possible, which will make it easier to hide when the basement is remodeled. All the pipe from the old range line was removed and prior to leaving, Dan checked all the gas lines to make sure no leaks resulted when the pipes were jostled around during the install. Two leaks were found - one near our furnace which had nothing to do with his installation. Repairing the leaks took Dan an additional hour because he took apart the connections, reapplied teflon tape to all and changed out old shut-off valves and some additional pipe to make everything fit together nicely. A refreshing thing was Dan actually asked me if charging me an additional hour of labor was fair for the extra work. He threw in all the additional materials (pipe and valves) for free.

Recent Review: Very professional. I left a message and received a call back within the hour. Informed Steve that the gas fireplace in our rental was leaking CO2. He said it would be no problem to fix. I put the tenant and Steve in touch and the job got completed in a timely basis.

Recent Review: After a quick free estimate, Jim was scheduled to run a natural gas line for a gas grill on an outdoor patio. Scheduling was quick and easy. He arrived as scheduled and finished the job in the time he had estimated. Everyone was professional and courteous throughout. I would hire R.A. Mechanical in the future and would recommend them to friends.

Recent Review: The workers were very knowledgeable and asked questions to be sure the job went to plan. They really made sure that I was happy with the work as they were completing it and they cleaned up everything before they left.

Recent Review: We met Mark at a very difficult point in the remodel of our SFH. We had hired a General Contractor to handle the carpentry, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling work (we have written a separate review on that company elsewhere on Angie's List). More than three months after the bathrooms had been demolished back to the studs (and after paying $40,000) we were first informed by the GC that the bath fixtures would need to be vented at an additional cost to us of nearly $6,000. We had already begun to lose faith in the GC at that point due to numerous delays and their other attempts to significantly expand the scope and cost of the contract and so were reluctant to rely on them to do the plumbing work. Mark came to the house to give us an estimate and quickly identified the work needed to prepare the bathrooms and kitchen for finishing. Not only was his price extremely fair, I particularly liked the fact that Mark gave us a figure to include any additional plumbing work that might be needed to make everything right and pass inspection. We went with Mark and he actually began work over the Thanksgiving week. He and his assistant were punctual, professional, hardworking, and communicative, keeping us advised on the project at all times. They accomplished more in three weeks than the GC had done in three months (which was next to nothing). We are now ready for rough inspection to be followed by the setting of the remaining fixtures. I have little doubt that the balance of the project will go smoothly. For those Angie's List subscribers old enough to remember the day when plumbers took pride in their work, completed the job on time and at a fair price, you cannot do better than Mark Kolecke Plumbing. I wish we could give him a triple-A rating.
