Best Businesses in Buffalo, NY

Cellino Plumbing and Shawn Wagner have been a godsend along with Jim McNeil.  
We had Shawn out first for a simple clogged drain and then most recently with Jim for a larger sewer issue.   They were wonderful to deal with.   They were understanding of our concerns.  The explained every step.   And most importantly gave us clear quotes for every step of this project/repair.  

I cannot say enough about our recent (as well as past) experiences with Cellino Plumbing.   Plumbing and sewer problems are miserable to deal with as a homeowner.  I cannot imagine this frustration being solved any easier.  

Thanks Shawn and Jim.   You guys saved the day!!!!

This company is good to work with they do a really good job and they're not too expensive and they work with payments

Since this company wasn't on yelp, I opted to put it up here. I'm that impressed with this business.

We remodeled our downstairs bathroom in 2016, and the guys we used then had gone out of business. We needed a new contractor, one that would work with us and not try to bilk us out of money due to labor or materials. We needed someone open, friendly, and capable of doing what they said they'd do.

Our kitchen ceiling was caving in and quickly becoming salvageable. Since it's the dead of winter, contractors weren't taking in new jobs that fell into the 'handyman' sort of criteria. Just kitchen remodels. We got shafted by a lot of contractors in Buffalo, saying that they'd come and inspect to give us a quote, but they never did. Storms Contracting found me through Home Advisor. We set up a meeting and from there, everything went smoothly.

They didn't treat me like a complete idiot despite not knowing the first thing about removal of a ceiling or how to put up a new one. Paul, the owner, went over everything that had to be done and would be done. The price was negotiated and was far cheaper than I could've imagined it. They said they would be there and they were. They were friendly, informative, and hard-working. I wanted the best. I got the best.

At first, I was nervous since it's near common knowledge that you can only pick two out of the three holy trinities of work: Fast, Cheap, or Done Well. Normally, you can only have two. Storms Contracting gave me all three.

This is one of the few businesses of Buffalo that have genuinely impressed me. The ceiling is gorgeous, they cleaned up after themselves, and were incredibly personable throughout. There's a dearth of good contractors in this city, and we lucked out with these guys.

Will be using them for everything here. And since this house was built a hundred friggin' years ago, there's a lot of projects we need to get through. I'm extremely confident with this family run business.

Great company
Quick to respond. Did a really good job. Above and beyond the original call for help. Highly recommend Larry and Janine.

They showed up wearing mask very knowledgeable and extremely reasonable price !!! Would call them back anytime !!! And they are a 24 hr bussiness was a Sunday morning 2am by basement was flooded and they were out by 3am !!!

Quick reply, very fair pricing, plumber was clean and courteous, would use again....

Came out on a Sunday to take care of a backup. Tech was friendly, professional, and seemed knowledgeable. He did a great job and I won't hesitate to call these guys in the future.

I was very happy with them. Our furnace stopped working in the middle of this past winter and we called Don Powers Inc.  He found the problem and spent hours getting it fixed.  After he completed it, he noticed a crack inside our furnace.  He ran carbon monoxide tests in the house and discovered we had a leak, even though our 4 year old carbon monoxide detector did not go off.  We had just brought home our newborn preemie twins, who already had health issues.  We are so thankful that he discovered this before the levels were too high.  Needless to say, our heating issue turned into a bigger problem beyond the initial broken piece.  We ended up having to replace the furnace.  He also replaced some of the immediate ductwork to help provide a better airflow.  He worked with us to pick out a good product and helped us apply for rebates through our utility company.  He also installed fire/carbon monoxide detectors in all our bedrooms.  I would definitely call him again and recommend him.  My mom ended up using him a few months later to replace her furance and get a new air conditioning unit.  She has been happy with the work too.

I hate giving poor reviews, but we are at our wits end. Greg and his team did a fine job (or so we thought) up until the end of the project. Now we are dealing with the building department, trying to get one final test done so that our addition can be approved. It's been TWO YEARS (!!!) of calling Aslan Plumbing, reminding Greg that he needs to do one final duct test and although he's nice on the phone, he STILL HASN'T DONE IT. I have called him at least 20 times over the last two years, reminding him to take care of this. Greg continues to say he'll talk to the building department, specifically one person we've been told to deal with (Larry), but a week or a month will go by and he still hasn't done so. Greg always says he's just so busy. I'm willing to understand that up to a point, but TWO YEARS later, I am starting to wonder if his work is shoddy and it won't pass the test and that's why he's stalling. At one point, Greg told me that he had talked to Doug at the building department and that it was all taken care of. We thought, Whew. It's finally done.... until my husband called the building inspector in charge of our file (Larry), who said that no, it isn't done and he hasn't heard from Greg. Now I don't know if Greg was just lying to appease me (after two years of calling to remind him to take care of this) or if not. I've been nice and patient and given him the benefit of the doubt for two years. Either don't use Aslan Plumbing or don't pay them until the building department signs off on it.

Paid Anthony over $600.00 in advance in November to plow my elderly mother's driveway and he did not show. His voicemail is always full and you will need to call several times to ask him to plow. Anthony did show 4 times last year but it was 6 to 8 hrs after calling him. This company will take your money and then only show when you call several times. I will not use this company again.
