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!!

Needed a hot water tank replaced right away. Got quotes from a few other local plumbers. GG Plumbing's quote was the second cheapest. However, Gasper was very quick to respond and he gave me a firm quote. After calling back the lower priced plumber who then gave me the price starting at... spiel, I went with my gut and gave Gasper the green light to start the work. The guys showed up the same day at the promised time and got it done in a couple of hours. Quick and painless experience for a plumbing emergency. I am happy!

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.

Danny is a truly reliable professional! My husband and I have hired he and his crew for multiple jobs: building a walk in closet, building a kitchen island, and multiple projects at a rental property we have. It's hard to find a trustworthy, reliable contractor - and Danny has truly been a Godsend for us. He does high quality work at a fair price. A great guy and even better businessman. Highly recommend!

Very good company!! I called them in the morning, they were there within an hour, drain problem solved! Clean workers and nice guys! The price was reasonable considering it was emergency work. I recommend using these guys over calling a plumber because they know how to better navigate the drain systems so they're less likely to damage other drain pipes while cleaning out the clogs. In fact, our plumber recommended them!

These guys are true gentlemen. Their work is clean and they are timely. I have had them fix pretty much everything involving plumbing through the years. I highly recommend them. You can't find better quality work.

Have used this company in the past to replace a water heater, but just needed their service again for a gas leak. Michael came the next day after I called, then again later that day after he had a cancellation. What should have been a multiple day process was fixed in one. And on top of that, he's an extremely nice guy. Fair price and great service. Would highly recommend to everyone with plumbing needs!

Two separate issues threatened to leave our condominium without heat through this cold snap. These guys were professional and did a great job, but much more than that, they worked tirelessly to find a required part and made the extra effort to ensure we had it fitted, same day.

There is no question who will be calling next time we need plumbing repairs.

Called Thomas O'Neil with a plumbing emergency.  They fit me in between other appointments and stopped the leak.  Clearly explained what they were doing and were very friendly and professional. Hourly rate is a little high but I am happy to pay it in this situation.
