When I booked the appointment for the water heater replacement, she told me that the service team would be at my house between 2:00 and 3:00. On the day of the service appointment, Matt called at 2:00 to say that he would be at our house at 2:30. He arrived exactly on time and I was happy that they were so punctual. The installation took about an hour and required some minor modifications to existing water pipes, gas pipe, and exhaust pipes because the new tank was not the same size as the old tank. A flexible gas line was installed between the existing black pipe and the new water heater. Many plumbers had estimated 3 hours or even 4 hours for the same job. When the plumbers removed the old water heater and carried it through our house to the truck, some water leaked onto our hardwood floor. Matt made sure to towel dry the water that had leaked out and I appreciated his professionalism. The plumbers were very courteous and friendly too. The new water heater is working fine and I am very happy with the service that was provided.

The first order of work was to remove a built in shower/tub enclosure. The unit was too large to remove through our doors, and had to be made into smaller units. The walls were rough having been behind the enclosure, and needed to be sealed and prepared for the tile. Jim mounted a larger mosaic perfectly positioned in the center of the primary wall facing the door. Around the mosaic he put accent tiles. Then he put tiles on the 10' walls, around a window, making corrections to existing plumbing to fit the new hardware. He was under the house in the crawl space examining plumbing, and even discovered some unrelated problems, which he fixed for us. The caregiver doors were put in along with the mullen. There are too many small details to list. Every detail was excellently taken care of. The photos of the finished room will prove his expertise. Jim is an excellent carpenter. He's diligent and maticulate. You can be sure that you will not find a better craftsman in our area. Unfortunately I do not see a way to upload the before and after photos. It will be a shame if I can't share these. The finished project is a marvel to see.

They came out two days after I accepted their bid, they ground some stumps, graded and compacted some sub base, and paved the driveway. They were very professional, punctual, affordable, and did a great job. They returned calls within a day when I had questions about their bid. I'm going to...
I cannot happier with the job Randy and Affordable Painting did on my late mother in law's home! He showed up on time each day, communicated with us, and got the job done fast. His rates were more than affordable for the quality wordsmanship. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Super responsive, to time frames. They competed the work (there was a lot) within the next 2 weeks, and everyone walked away happy. They are my number one go to for real estate deals. Always super professional, affordable, and my clients are always pleased. Highly recommend to anyone!

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Elmwood, IL
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
