Water heater replacement: who works in the 60305.
112 companies are listed. 111 are from the Village of River Forest licensed contractor report, extracted September 13, 2026. They are listed under plumbing, which the Village does not license (Illinois licenses plumbers), so they carry no Village license date. One is a company River Forest homeowners recommend, with no Village license date. 51 have a full profile from their website and public listings. Then a short checklist to take into any estimate.
Two sources: the Village licensed contractor report, and companies River Forest homeowners recommend. A listing is not a Village recommendation and not a license check. We do not license, inspect or guarantee any contractor. Confirm license, insurance and permits yourself before work begins.
Companies that do this work in River Forest
Two sources. 111 of the 112 companies are from the Village of River Forest contractor report. The other one is a company River Forest homeowners recommend to each other, marked Neighbor recommendation, which is useful but is not a license check.

Confirm the license yourself before work begins.

Sources: the Village of River Forest licensed contractor report, extracted September 13, 2026, and 1 company River Forest homeowners recommend. Plumbers are exempt from Village licensing, so those rows carry no date. Rows marked Neighbor recommendation did not come from the Village report, so they carry no date, and their licensing is not verified by this site. Verify current status with Building & Zoning at 708-714-3552 or the live report.
Check before you hire
Four things specific to water heater work that separate a good estimate from a thin one. The buying guide explains each.
- Illinois plumbing license number on the estimate
- Vent type named, and the orphaned-chimney question answered
- Expansion tank, pan and shutoff on the page
- Whether this job needs a Village permit, confirmed with Building & Zoning, and who pulls it
- Village of River Forest: Replacement only is on the Village’s no-permit list. A fuel or venting change, a relocation or new piping needs a permit. The installer must be licensed and bonded with the Village or, for plumbing work, hold a State of Illinois plumbing license. The Village’s express-permit page also lists water heaters, so confirm with Building & Zoning at (708) 714-3552 before work starts. Plumbing is the exception to Village contractor licensing: plumbers are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, not the Village, and you can look up a plumber’s license with the Department’s plumber license search at dph.illinois.gov.
