Every time I place a call, I get an appointment if not the same day, the day after. Stephanie in the office is great - friendly, communicative, emails me invoices and keeps me up to speed The technicians are always on time, text their arrival time, and let me know what's going on and the cost. Jason in particular has been working on our latest issue and he came out a couple times to figure out the issue and repair. I'm really satisfied with their services, their staff and the results I get.

The serviceman arrived…read morepromptly, quickly diagnosed the low-pressure issue, cleaned the boiler, and helped bleed the radiators--all within the first hour. The next day, I noticed the pressure was too high. After texting me some troubleshooting tips, they returned to check my very old expansion tank. Eventually, they sent a senior boiler pro who was able to empty the tank and fixed the pressure problem. My boiler is due for replacement, but they spent the time to get the right diagnosis and fix the specific issue--all for a single billed hour. What impressed me most was their attitude: they seemed genuinely happy to get the system running again, even though it meant delaying a full replacement. Excellent service, knowledgeable team, and great communication throughout.

From the beginning I was aware he had "a lot going on" so was ready to fit into his workflow. I had a referral from a contractor who has used Safeway Plumbing for several jobs. I called JR's cell a few minutes before 8 on a weekday morning, knew exactly what my problem was and described it in as few words as possible. Told JR who had given me his name and recommended him. Suggested I knew this was not an immediate emergency but was critical and could he work me in within next 2-3 business days. From there on it was texting until he gave me an approximate ETA the following day. I called our front desk to arrange parking space for their vehicle. Two guys came, did a good job including cleanup, were nice to my cat. I wrote a check for a reasonable $$ and we were done.

This business is open as of May 20, 2024…read more Our condo association in near southside Chicago has contracted with Safeway multiple times over the years to work in our mid-rise buildings. Value for price is major plus for Safeway. Safeway intentionally bundles things like plumbing parts runs for several jobs at once in order to reduce cost. Time after time, their estimates and actual invoices for jobs including serious work like 3-floor riser, stack, and vent replacement come in below competitors. The trade-off in using Safeway is that service may not be completed as quickly. So if you are, say, getting work done for a tenant, you may wish to confirm a completion date up front. We will continue to consider Safeway for any particular job in the future.

The job was very reasonably priced and done within days of the initial free estimate. We were very please with his work as well! The second time he came was for our garage door that had been useless from the day we moved in. Essentially, we just used the garage for storage. After John found a major wiring issue he came back within the week to complete. Now we are able to get my car and husband motorcycle's in the garage! Courtney was efficient and flexible when scheduling for the initial estimates and the actual service. I would absolutely recommend. Thanks John & Courtney for the speedy work and professionalism!

Angi process quotes from 3-4 companies and I landed on this one mostly because the time they could come out was preferable. (2 of the 4 could come out same day). Pros: 1. I received a call 20-30 min before the electrician arrived. 2. I was provided a timeframe and estimate before the work was performed. 3. The work was completed same day. Cons: 1. Payment options are Cash, check or Venmo but you don't receive an invoice prior to. I had to pay before the invoice was sent which seems backwards IMO. 2. The work took 2 hours when the person from earlier in the day who was out said it'd take an hour once he had the part (interestingly,no part was mentioned by this company. Their trip charge is $60 and the hourly rate is $90. So all in, two light fixtures under the kitchen cabinet were replaced for $240. Would use them again, especially since there's no trip charge for repeat customers (if called out again).

Shout out to Andy Sjostrom's contractor/handmay team- great job with wall/ceiling to get the pipes exposed for the plumber!- I will review Andy's crew next! Also 5 stars. Great work!

My HOA interviewed at least 4 firms that could provide this fungible service. However, what set them apart was their service, their timeliness, their price, and their willingness to work on two separate Saturdays. Their workforce was more than flexible, polite, and eminently trustworthy. In fact, I left them to lock up my home as I had to leave before they finished. They came to our community on Oct. 12, '19 so this review is quite late. I'm sorry. I would like to give a special shout-out to Melanie for her assistance in planning, bidding, and organizing. She was nothing but great to work with throughout and extremely patient from start to finish. There are many vendors that provide this service but we will be calling them again.
