Plumber / Sewer Guy Needed Kane, Dupage, & Western Cook

Hello All, 

On our management side in the suburbs, we continue to run into these medium sized plumbing/sewer companies that just seem to take advantage on pricing.   Maybe taking advantage is the wrong word because they might be charging what they can based on supply/demand of the general public but I am determined to find a small to medium sized shop that is more flexible and can appreciate the volume we bring.  The few companies lately have been trying to charge after hours if we call in after 1pm, mark up parts 5 to 6 times cost, won't let us know when work is done, and just seem inflexible in their price structure which always seems to be rounded more than a 30-60 minute increment.  

in 2017 our suburb operation spent close to $95,000 in plumbing/sewer costs and would love to be connected with a shop that can work with us and be more user-friendly.  I feel that we are doing an injustice to the owners we manage for if we don't because the alternative is to continue the path we are on and no one is winning except the plumbing houses.  I want a win/win.

I appreciate any referrals for anyone that knows someone that covers Kane, Cook northwest suburbs, and Dupage.  Thanks in advance!
