Best Businesses in Newark, NJ

When you need a plumber, you really need one!  On the Friday night of this July 4th holiday, the expansion valve on my hot water heater failed and my basement was getting wet.  My wife called over 10 plumbers trying to get some one to come replace the valve.  Steve was the 10th guy we called ... we left VM for the first 9 ... 8 of whom never returned our call.  Steve stopped by first thing Saturday morning, replaced the valve, and charged us a fair price for the service.  He was a nice guy and didn't try to upsell us to replace the hot water heater!  We plan to call him first for all our future plumbing work (home and business).  My wife and I were very pleased with him personally and his work.

Have been using Gateway for at least 10 years. They are always reliable, on time, diagnose the problem right away, provide estimates and get the work done. All technicians have been great over the years but recently we've had a problem and the technician they sent out was awesome! Strato has been amazing to work with. He's identified the problem, given solutions and opinions on what to do and has come out multiple times to address the problem and help us out.

I have had Burns do many jobs since my first review and they have been Great! 5 stars is what they deserve!

We had an unknown basement leak in our new townhouse. We were unable to diagnosis it and getting desperate. He was responsive - quick - and honest. I will be using him again.

He fixed: sump pump, replaced the bucket of the pump, fixed A/C condenser pump re routed, and fixed outdoor hose busted pipe.

Other things that made him standout-
1. Responded within the hour
2. Scheduled to come out to Westchester ASAP even during weekend
3. Diagnosed the problem and gave me 2 options for solutions - one that was an economical fix and got us out of the active leak situation and a more permanent solution at a very honest price
4. A new leak was discovered and he got that fixed as well

Alex showed up on time and was able to diagnose the problem quickly.  When he came back with another plumber later in the week, they got to work immediately.  An access hole needed to be cut in the basement wall for them to install a cleanout and snake the pipe, and they didn't do a very good job (if at all) of cleaning the area around the access hole, so I needed to go back and do some cleanup around the drywall and behind the wall.  

Since the drain is now functioning perfectly, and their price was fair, I cannot complain, I just wish they spent a few minutes wiping down the walls and cleaning up.

Fast response and got things done professionally without any issues.

We had a leak in our kitchen sink and Michael stopped by Christmas Eve. Even caulked my tiles because the builder didn't do a good job around the countertop near the sink!

Highly recommended!

The owner and his team helped us avoid a huge flood in our basement apartment. The team showed up at 3am and stayed until the job was done. Highly recommend their services!!

We couldn't have been more pleased with Lesco. Last Fall, we had a mysterious leak in our bathroom that went through the floor, and we were concerned that it spelled disaster. But thankfully we found Lesco, and the problems were diagnosed and fixed expeditiously, and there is no more leak or any other problem.
From our first contact with the company in November 2020, everything went so smoothly. During the current pandemic, it's more important than ever to have clear communication; and that's what we got with Lesco. Ahead of our first appointment, we received a text messages with heads-up about the time of arrival and even a short biography of the plumber who would be coming to our home.  In our case, it was Chris, and he was fantastic! He was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and he patiently answered all of our questions. We really appreciate his professionalism. Even when we had a few specific follow-up questions about the work that we emailed to Lesco, Chris prepared detailed and prompt responses to our questions; and moreover, Michael, the owner of Lesco also took the time to provide additional input.  Amazing!
We had such confidence in the diagnosis and repair of our leak that we asked Lesco/Chris to do a toilet bowl removal and installation too. All of the work was done well and efficiently. In addition, great care was taken to make sure masks and other COVID-19 protocols were followed. Lesco will be our plumbing and HVAC company from now on!

Some people don't mind paying 3x for slightly better service.  I call those people suckers.  They charged me an hour in travel time each way from Jersey City and also charged an additional hour for sitting in the van to put the invoice together.  Ridiculous.

They are GREAT!!

I have to say I am always very skeptical when I have to call a plumber, carpenter, AC repair etc.... because you always hear these stories of people getting ripped off and taken advantage of but not with Super Plumber!!  

We were having an issue with our AC and my husband thought he fixed it however I wanted it checked anyway as I know the summer is coming and I HATE the heat!  I called them and spoke to Tom who was able to come 2 days later during the exact time that worked for us (between 12-2).  We were having issues cutting out on our phones so he sent me a text and I sent him all our information and he confirmed the app for us.

Thursday came and my husband was home but at 2pm he said they haven't called him yet so I reached out to Tom and not only was he extremely apologetic (there was glitch in the app schedule) he called my husband right away and came directly over to our home!  

When he came he didn't push anything extra on us, I asked my husband to ask about cleaning the AC and he said we didn't need it and it was a ripoff!  Anyone could have jumped on that and had us waist our money so they could do the work but he didn't, he was extremely honest, professional, and fair, he even waived the services charge because of the mix up in time!

He walked around and took the time to explain everything to my husband and found that our AC was fine (thank goodness!!).

I know someone else said the other reviews were over a year old but this one is new and I cant recommend them enough!!

I am a realtor in Central NJ and needed a drain cleaned for a client in need in Jersey City NJ. I used Able SOS for work I needed done years ago so I gave my client their info. My client called me to let me know how professional, efficient and friendly their experience was with this company. They were extremely neat and protected my clients property while getting the job done and in the end that is what we want as customers. Highly recommended.
Thanks SOS for making me look good.

Very helpful. Had a capacitor blown out. Ed fixed. Ed is a man of few words, but he got the job done.

TOTALLY UNRELIABLE
Do not use if you value your time as the service people do not show up for appointments. This happened to me twice in one week. The second time, I called several times during the day to confirm and was assured someone would show up at the designated time. After they hadn't shown again, I called and was put on hold while the receptionist said she'd call the driver.  I was disconnected and when I called back, no one answered. Not even an answering machine. Never again!
