Best Businesses in Newark, NJ

Steve Iafrate is the business owner, is a Master Plumber and lives in Closter. He shows up, shows up on time and works diligently.  He works fast and cleanly. He is my new plumber.  Cheers.

I've been using Gateway Plumbing & Heating for over 10 years. In that time, I've lived in or managed 4 different properties with issues ranging from toilet repairs and replacement to hot water heater replacement. I also have Gateway do annual boiler maintenance. Over the years, all of their technicians have been professional and personable, with Sal being one of the plumbers I see often. Dave, one of the owners, personally handled oversight of a recent gas line replacement project. Stratos, new to the Gateway team, confirms appointments in advance and follows up. The office staff is also very helpful. I highly recommend Gateway Plumbing!

Capable, timely, professional.  Sadly, that makes this company rare among plumbers.  But kudos to them for being excellent.

They were incredibly communicative and helpful for me, even over the phone. The owner took his time via text and FaceTime to talk me through a repair process so that I could handle it myself, it was very helpful!

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.

Very knowledgeable and professional services rendered.

I had this terribly clogged drain, which no amount of drain cleaner or snake could handle. Thankfully Michael came over late in they day and was able to unclog the drain and flush out the system. He was also honest and dependable.

Would highly recommend to anyone in a jam.

i used them to unclog my bathtub. it was in bad shape . They did great job. The guys very nice , professional. Price very reasonable.

Wow, I can't say enough good things about these guys and the work they just did in my house. We have an old house and we're looking to finish the basement. We had a lot of water and gas lines running below the beams which restricted how high we could go with the ceiling. A lot of the lines were old (probably original to the house) so in addition to re-routing lines and getting them up in the beams we had them replaced. Let me start from the beginning.

I procrastinated pretty much all summer to call a plumber until one day I was home from  work and decided to call Lesco (based on positive reviews on here). The woman I spoke with was very pleasant, asked all the right questions, and informed me that I would be receiving a call within the next couple of days so someone could come look at the work needed. Well, I received a call in less than 2 hours and Mike was at my house within 2 hours of my initial call.

When Mike arrived, I feel like all I had to tell him was that we were looking to finish the basement and he immediately knew what he had to do. He walked around the basement, identified all of the piping that needed to be replaced and re-routed, made some recommendations that I hadn't really thought of, and he promised an estimate right away. I received the estimate the following day and was so thrilled with the very reasonable cost I approved it right away and we scheduled the work to be done just a week later.

Mike and his crew showed up on the day promised. The job was definitely 2 days of work, but Mike was able to secure more of his crew and they got the entire job done in a single day. To top it all off, they replaced my dryer vent (which they did on their own accord), and they serviced my boiler for the winter. When they were done they walked me through everything they did, showed me where all of the water and gas shutoffs were, explained in detail how I do maintenance on my boiler, and gave me an opportunity to ask any questions. Every single one of them seemed like they legitimately cared about the job and they were so knowledgeable about everything.

They did everything right, and I'm excited that after living in our house for almost 2 years now, we've finally found our plumber.

I called because I had an emergency leak. The hose in the yard wouldn't turn off, and was leaking pretty badly.

Pros: very friendly, polite, efficient guys. They said it wouldn't take long at all, and it didn't. They were very clean, and again, fast.

Cons: $328 for about 15 minutes of work. This is after he just told me he only charges $40 an hour labor, compared to a normal plumber rate of $165 an hour.  He was even surprised at the rate when he hung up with the main office.

So, if you're in a pinch, these guys know what they're doing. A bargain, they are not.

Super Plumbing has been our reliable source for plumbing repairs I would believe for nearly 4 years.
Whenever there is a reason with a need for plumbing assistance we call Super. The entire Super team is great. The team member who answers the phone is courteous, professional and asks when we would like to make an appointment which leaves one with a secure feeling that plumbing assistance is available 24 hours per day. The technicians couldn't be better. Professional and cordial arriving in an identifying name shirt and right on time. They give a reasonable quote and they work quickly while being completely reliable with their work. At times, while working, they may find something additional and they discuss the possible extra work  carefully and with a reasonable price. I know that some people think this may mean they are deliberately trying to make more money which simply isn't true by our experience. Our most recent repairs were completed by their great technicians Willy, Cesar and another technician who was great and I cannot recall his name at present. We always call Super without any regrets at all.

Overpriced service.
With 100's of licensed companies in Bergen and Hudson counties there is no reason to overpay. They charged a lot more than other comparable services.

When I complained and wrong negative reviews the owner called me and asked that I will modify the review out of the kindness of my hart. He did not make any attempts to rectify the situation and make me happy.

Craig M was extremely professional and helpful, answering any and all of my questions. He was a pleasure to deal with and explained everything clearly. Price seemed fair. Would highly recommend.

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!
