Best Businesses in New Jersey

They arrived within 2 hours of the service request, despite it being at the end of the day and rush hour! They stayed until my boiler room was cleaned out from the flood, and they fixed my boiler with a new part and answered all my questions and got my heat back up and running. I'm really glad I called them. Speedy reliable FRIENDLY service that I appreciated and will hire again!

The pump in my office pantry that pumps out waste water gave out. The plumber recommended by the building engineer wanted a crazy amount of money (kickbacks involved it seemed) so I made calls to a few other places. Some could not do the work because they didn't have the insurance requested by the building manager (we're talking about a midtown commercial office building). Star Cities sent a plumber over within hours and I got an estimate  the next day (Friday) quoting a reasonable price. My only hesitation was that they wanted 75% of the price up front. I was concerned that I'd end up waiting around for a long while to get the work done if they were already paid that much in advance. Well, happily I was wrong. The same plumber was back exactly as they said (Tuesday) and got the job done right the first time.  Also, Natasha is super pleasant to deal with on the phone. This was an all around great experience and I highly recommend this business.

Love them they saved us so much money all others said we needed a new water unit they fixed it! We have been using them ever since!

Sal Jr. came to my house for a no heat call. He found the problem and replaced the part. He was on top of the project. He made us feel so comfortable while he worked. He had the best bedside manor, if he was a doctor, he'd would be at the top of his game. As a plumber, he IS at the top of his game, as a human being, he is the coolest, I can guess where he gets it from.
If you need a plumber, and you don't call this company, you made a mistake.

It was two days before Halloween. We realized our boiler was not working. It was 8 pm. Lenny Palumbo was highly recommended by a friend. I texted Lenny , he thankfully replied at 9:40 pm that night.  I sent him a picture of the water overflow and he said he will come by our place the next day to assess.
Next day he came by on time and indeed confirmed it was time to replace the boiler. The following day, halloween, he and his assistant, Jose, installed the boiler. They were respectful of our home in that they wore booties to avoid soiling the floors and carpets. It was a feat carrying the 75 gallon boiler up three floors but they were skilled and systematic. They finished the job in a timely manner. Always professional yet friendly and warm.  It was a rainy dreary Halloween this year; had Palumbo plumbing not replaced our boiler quickly, it would have been a nightmare of a Halloween!

I have toilets and kitchen pipes that seem to need fixing. I asked if Lenny could take a quick look and he graciously inspected the symptoms I described and made recommendations. For free!
I plan to call on him again soon.

Technician juan did a great job adjusting my sump pump check valves and reworking some pipes in a tight spot. Would recommend him for more work. Would be 5 stars but very pricey company.

Jorge is great!  I had two kitchens that needed their cabinets sealed (caulked, moulding) to keep vermin out.  I used yelp to collect a few quotes.  Jorge was the most reasonably priced and he was an absolute pleasure to correspond with.  He is prompt, up-front, responsive, professional, and meticulous.  I'm very happy with the job he did and he's first on my list if I never need any more minor home repairs.  Selfishly, I almost didn't want to write this review because I don't want him to become *too* overbooked when I need his services again, but seriously, Jorge is your guy for random house stuff!

The employees of this business are no good. They will take an advance from you and will never come back. They will not even pickup your phone after that. After giving the the advance, I am waiting for over 5 months to complete the job at my house.
I will not recommend to give them any money before they complete your job. I would like to say that don't even hire them.
They are the meanest people on earth.

Charged $150.00 for a plastic piece and a 10 minute job.  Also fixed a leak, temporarily - its back.  When called to explain, he complained we did not pay the $150.00 bill, and explained the reason why.  He said I don't have time for this and hung up.

We needed several things done.. kitchen sink fixed, bathroom toilet checked, central air serviced, etc. The service person, Kevin, was great!! Professional and courteous and worked hard to make sure that our kitchen sink was in great working order. I didn't give 5 stars because it took too long to get a call back.  That is my only complaint, the service person was excellent and knowledgeable and we will use this company in the future!

I had a great experience with Billharz Plumbing.  I recently moved into a new apartment and my stove had all sorts of problems.  Too many problems to fix (it was a gas electric dual fuel) so I ordered a new stove... when I pulled the old stove away from the wall I noted there was no shut-off valve.  I took a drywall saw and went to work, expecting to see the shut-off valve hidden behind the drywall.  Nope.  No shut-off valve as far as my flashlight could shine.  

When I called Billharz the woman on the line was very friendly and walked me through the possibilities- told me who to followup with and what to look for when figuring out if the gas line would have to be shut off for the line or the building.  They were flexible in scheduling an appointment and they were accommodating with my COOP Board.  

When they came to do the work, the guy was friendly and neat.  He explained all the possibilities and tracked the gas line (through the bathroom and behind the refrigerator) which turned out to be behind the dishwasher.  He took his time to remove the dishwasher (which had been screwed into the cabinet) and explained that it should be attached under the counter (which would require a stone drill-bit) and then adjusted the waterline to the fridge which was a simple adjustment but now allows my ice-maker to be fully functional.  He extended the pipe and installed a shut-off valve where it ought to be all within an hour and a half.  

They were a little pricey, but I was confident in their work, their service and therefore willing to spend a little extra for peace of mind.

Very unprofessional service.  I paid $225 for an electricity check and report at our Manhattan apartment to assess the capacity for a ductless A/C installation.  The electrician's report was never provided despite multiple requests over a period of weeks.

I had a similar experience to A.P. I believe this is a scam! Unable to light the pilot on my gas hot water heater, and seeing I had water and rust dripping onto and around the gas burner - I called 'Clinton Hill Plumbing' and explained that I needed a new hot water heater/tank. The man that arrived simply didn't appear to have the knowledge of a licensed plumber (was not local and definitely a subcontractor). He fiddled with the rusted ignition/gas burner - then attempted to tell me that I needed to replace the ignition/gas burner part (with no mention of fixing the water dripping directly onto the pilot light). That is, he was suggesting a quick fix remedy that would have had doused the pilot and had gas in my basement. When I told him that his suggestion wouldn't work, and we needed to replace the whole unit, the man then told me he had no way of bringing a new hot water heater to my house (in Clinton Hill). This moronic process cost me $245.

When I called 'Clinton Hill Plumbing' and asked for their manager and location, the woman answering (in the middle of the day)  couldn't answer the questions.
