Best Businesses in Newark, NJ

My bathtub has been clogged for the past few days. The water would take forever to go down like a few hours. I tried Drano and using the plunger but that didn't help at all. I found this company because two other local companies did not answer the phone. They answered my call and had someone visit within the next hour! It was a very quick process, I'd say less than 10minutes! I highly recommend this place if you need something done right away! He explained what was wrong as well as the tools he was going to use for the procedure. They also take debit/credit card payments too for those who don't have cash  Thank you guys!!

I had an issue with installing a bidet toilet seat because our bathroom setup was irregular. GG Plumbing suggested the part that would fix the issue. This was after I already tried to ask many other plumbing companies for solutions to no avail. I even went to a plumbing supply store but that didn't help either. Thanks to GG Plumbing, I was able to install the toilet seat with minimum cost. Even though I didn't need for GG to come help, his quoted price was also much more reasonable than the other plumbing companies I reached out to.

Positives: Called for service and they sent a technician right away!

Negatives: Tech changed the water spout in my bathtub because the diverter wasn't working. But he did not line up the spout with the back plate and it looks very unsightly (see attached pic).

Additionally, I told the tech that my toilet kept making wooshing sounds periodically and that I had recent replaced the flapper and also the floater.

He said the problem seems to be the lever and tried to bend the existing lever but said it'll probably be cheaper to replace the whole toilet for which he can do for $700 & change if he supplies the toilet or $350 if I get the toilet.

He takes off to local plumbing supply place and returns promptly with cheap universal lever and the tub spout. After struggling installing the toilet lever said that's best he can do.. I'll have to hold the lever to flush. (Which remains in open position and I'm forced to have to wait to tap it close otherwise he keeps running!),

Went to his truck, wrote me a bill for $180.

The toilet lever gets stuck in the down position and every time I take a shower.. I'm reminded of how unprofessional the spout looks with the back plate just hanging there.

Oh yeah.. He needed to turn off the water to toilet  from under the vanity while we was working. He left the vanity a mess (never put back the items he pulled out to work) and so much water on the inside of the vanity. So sloppy!

The diverter runs about $20 and the universal toilet tank lever runs under $10 at home depot. I paid $180 for this service call  and a $20 tip. Yes, I am stupid.

I waited a couple of weeks to call the main office (wanted to give myself some time to cool off) and left a message with the call center. Joe calls me up immediately and without knowing what I was calling for was rude and impatient. ...What do you want? I'm driving!...

I wasn't going to post this review but after that exchange..

Poor service, poor customer support and I can't believe the owner would allow Joe to deal with the public. I would definitely NOT recommend this business.

P.S.

Next day, Louie (identified hisself as a manager) patiently listened to my grievances and said he'll look into it.  Later in the evening, the tech called and justified his sloppy work by saying I should have just replaced the toilet. Then started arguing the prices he quoted me.

Poor service, unjustified prices and rude after sales customer support.

Hope this helps someone when they are trying to decide what plumber to let into their home.

Wanda is the best !   JMW saved me from a major DEP violation/fine with plumbing that was not up to code in my building.   They did this work quickly, expertly, and at a VERY fair price.   Others had quoted much more.  Wanda is very easy to communicate with and explained clearly what the problem was and how to handle it.  I will be calling JMW for all my plumbing needs in the future.

Great service. Mike showed up with mask on and kept it on through his whole stay. Very pleasant and courteous. Job was done quickly and efficiently even though he had to leave to pick up a couple of supply lines which needed replacement. The price for the job was very reasonable, especially compared to other companies such as Gold Medal which I have dealt with and will not deal with again. Mike is now my goto guy when I need plumbing work. Also he told me the reason he had no other reviews was because on google there was a problem that lost all his reviews.

They were very professional, very respectful of COVID-19 guidelines, and were very flexible with time (I asked them to move some work scheduled from an afternoon to a morning and they gladly complied).  Their bid was $200 lower than competitors and we are VERY happy to work with them. Though our project was small, they treated us with care and dignity. WOULD USE AGAIN! A++++

I spoke with Tom (owner) on the phone and set up an appointment for the following day to have a washing machine drain line cleared out.  I am extremely happy with my experience.  Tom was very personable and took the time to go over what they were going to do, the equipment used, and after the work was done gave me pointers to help prevent the pipe from clogging in the future (lint trap on the end of the hose).

Rago has been doing work at my house for years. Honest and trustworthy, they explain everything that's happening and go over the gameplan for all repairs. Their work is impeccable, and they guarantee it. I always recommend them and I will continue to do so.

On the recommendation of a friend, I called PoMP when my water heater sprang a leak during the night and I woke up to flooding. Whitt came and fixed it very quickly and efficiently and wore a mask, which was important to me. The price was fair and I will call them again next time a need a plumber. NOTE: the last plumber I had didn't want to crawl under my mobile home to work on my plumbing. So I asked Whitt if he had any problem working on/under trailers and he said no problem.

Huge sewer back up happened in my home! I called Progressive and within the hour they showed up to help! They found the problem to be a faulty check valve and the backup a result of DEP's negligence. After they helped to keep the sewage water at bay, they installed a new check valve and a pump and helped clean up the mess! Simply the best!

I used these people twice to fix things in my new house.
I thought they were very expensive and upselling, but they did the job.  THEN
I hired them for a repair on another property.  After being paid for the work they never returned my calls to come back finish the job.  I must have called 5 times over the course of a week and they truly vanished. I was foolish to pay them before the work was done.   My bad.  I would NOT recommend them.
