*These 24 plumbers rated highest among the 199 companies evaluated in Chicago Consumers' Checkbook magazine and at Checkbook.org. In analyzing Chicago-area plumbers, Checkbook asked area consumers to rate several aspects of their service experience as "inferior," "adequate," or "superior." More than 8,000 surveys were compiled over a six-month period from February to July 2005. Each of the plumbers listed was rated by at least 16 customers. The percentage of customers who rated the overall performance of a company as "superior" is given on our list. Checkbook also considered complaints on file at the Better Business Bureau for a recent three-year period and with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General for a recent two-year period. Between the two offices, none of those listed here had more than one complaint on file. To compare prices, Checkbook's shoppers, without revealing their affiliation with Checkbook, contacted plumbers and requested price quotes for specific jobs. Prices were then compared among companies. Our table shows how each plumber's prices compared with the average, which here is scaled to $100. For example, a company with a price of $90 on the list quoted prices 10 percent lower than the average quoted price.
