Best sink installation pros near Winnetka, IL

"Greentech I am a mechanic by trade and usually prefer to do tackle DIY (do it yourself) projects on my own , but on occasion sometimes you have to swallow your pride and "ask for help" as was my situation last weekend. After installing an ADA Compliant Gerber toilet I was cleaning up our dated bathroom when I discovered that the vanity basin was draining slower & slower until it CEASED draining! I'm always hesitant to tackle plumbing projects in my house because the combination of cast iron and galvanized pipes in a 75 + year old home (time is a major factor) both in age as well as my patience. Initially I thought that I had induced the problem by the work I had done , but it was merely a coincidence. I have a manual hand cranking snake which also can be adapted to a cordless drill because this is a necessity in a older home especially where thinning hair is an issue. As it turns out after dismantling the p-trap and draining the contents i.e.: soap, hair,sludge all over my floor which I had previously cleaned 10 minutes prior I was losing my patience, after rodding the suspected area I still had no success. That is when I decided to call Greentech . -Kevin returned my call promptly and arranged for a technician to come the next day. -Next day , Tim showed up 20 minutes early (a good trait) , I explained what I attempted to do and had prepped the area for him, another 20 minutes later my bathroom drain was working like new! His experience using a rodding snake allowed him to steer it in the correct path where the obstruction was cleared! Since the job went so quick I asked him if he could repair a leaking copper elbow that was attached to my water heater? -No problem! another issue resolved in record time! -Summary: 5 Stars! = Prompt, Courteous, Clean, Efficient and Reasonably priced and professional ! ...Don't be afraid to ask for help ! -Eric S."

"It went fine. They did a good job of working around the maze of piping under our kitchen sink, trouble shooting, and giving me clear descriptions of 2 different repair options. The repair person had some good advice regarding removing grease build
up ourselves and how to avoid clogs that may come from a garbage disposal. (I don't know if ours did.)
The only thing I didn't like was that the bill at the end seemed a little high, and they didn't include a breakdown of how they had arrived at that amount. (e.g. parts and service hourly costs. Big Deal discounts, etc.)

"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."

"I was unable to rod the drain blockage at the second floor bathroom vanity.  Lincoln's guy tried about ten times and couldn't clear the blockage.  We reviewed an alternative solution (new drain line) before he left.  I cut open some drywall to get a view on things and after three additional tries, he was able to clear the blockage.  I paid him for the entire job (main line rodding not yet complete) with a promise that he'd return within the week at a mutually acceptable time.  We connected about three days later and he rodded the two-flat to the street.  Great effort and an excellent work ethic.

"Lenny from CJ Plumbing came on time, and did an immaculate job! We needed to connect a new sink in our kitchen, and not only that CJ Plumbing are well versed with the code, they also came with the great idea of using an air-switch! The cost was very reasonable, and the execution of the work immaculate. We highly recommend CJ Plumbing and we will most definitely use them again"

"Great, and it was all done long distance, since we live in another state. The work was at our Chicago condo They could have really let down but never did. I have recommended Splash to my building manager, too, if other owners need a reliable, courteous and reasonable plumber!"

"I would use H2O again. Price was reasonable and it has been 2 weeks and my sink doesn’t back up so the work was great. Good quality work! Only issue I had was the timing. The techs didn’t show up as scheduled so I called and left a voicemail. They called right back but still ended up coming 2 hours after the scheduled time. It wasn’t a deal breaker since I had no other obligations that morning. Other than punctuality, they were great!"
