Best Businesses in New York, NY

Great! Honest, fair prices - don't look elsewhere. HIRE THEM! I've worked with probably 8 plumbers in my 10 years in Park Slope. Vuksani is the best.

Sam is awesome! Will be returning to him for all of our plumbing needs. Responsive, great at explanations, and fair pricing from what I can tell.

We get sewer backups a couple times a year in our 3-family house. It doesn't help that our house sits in front of the manhole & a sewer hub,  where all the street debris likes to settle & torment us. And, our upstairs tenants include four women, with thick long hair that is always clogging our pipes ....

Anyway, it's gotten that all I need to do is sniff the air in our hallway -- and know that trouble is brewing from that telltale, horrible, sewer gas smell. And there's usually no time to wait. I can go from a sniff to an entire flood inside our 1st floor apt within the same day!

So, about a month ago, my nostrils sounded the alarm, and I called our regular sewer guy. Well, of course, he was out-of-town. Then I called another guy we had used and was OK, but he couldn't come out for at least another day. More calls to others here on Yelp, and it was like Backup Sewer Day in NYC, everyone was busy.

Pipe Monkeys was a new business, and I prefer to use contractors who have a whole big bunch of positive Yelp. But, no choice. So I called. And Kirk, the owner of Pipe Monkeys, said he'd be right out within two hours.

Turns out Kirk had been a manager for over a decade at the big name sewer company that everyone's heard of. He had a nice big, strong machine. He automatically snaked my sewer in both directions -- toward the street, and then toward the house -- something other guys don't mention doing, and when i ask, I've been charged extra. And he was infinitely patient. The snake got through, but Kirk was determined to snag the cause, so he kept at it until something big and furry and gross came back. He said it was so much hair, it looked like a wig. Or, it could have been gunky, shredded tree roots.

Also fabulous: It was after hours, but he didn't charge me an Emergency fee. Can't tell you how many times I've been slammed before -- even with my regular guy. And his rate was very reasonable -- less than most. And he's smart, grew up in Queens, and speaks perfect English. Plus Greek, for those of us in Astoria.

Well, a few days ago, I smelled that sewer gas smell in the hallway again!! I couldn't believe it! And when Kirk opened up that big grate inside the garage that leads to the sewer pipe, we saw all this debris and gunk ... The city had just been out to replace our water main pipes in the street, and Kirk's theory is that a whole bunch of the excavated street ended up in the nearby sewer main, clogging it.

Well, here is an honest, conscientious guy: After Kirk cleaned out my pipes again, he called the NYC 3-1-1 line, and got the city's sewer dept to come out and flush out the main sewer with this high-pressure jet stream. By doing this, I shouldn't have another problem for a long time. Which means I won't be needing Kirk's services. So, to help this new customer, Kirk voluntarily lost some future business from me.

That's what I call customer service and integrity.

I'll never call any other sewer drain company but Pipe Monkeys ever again. Thanks, Kirk!!  Marianne in Astoria

We are so lucky to have found Mike. He is professional, knowledgable, tries to keep the cost down without compromising quality, and is so quick to reply.

Our apartment has had a slew of radiator, boiler, and heating system issues. We had another plumber come who misdiagnosed the problem, and it resulted in spending money unnecessarily. Mike came within 3 days of us calling him, and immediately figured out the root cause. He worked the whole day to fix it, while explaining what was happening to my husband.

You can tell Mike loves what he does, and takes pride in working with professionalism and excellence for his customers. If you're in Brooklyn, and need someone to take a look at your heating -- I could not recommend him more.

Tim worked for me and fixed my toilet.  I saw that he also did furniture assembly and asked about job I would have in a month or so about helping to disassemble furniture. He said he did that kind of work and would bring another guy with him if the job needed two people. However, when I contacted him about it he replied that he didn't do that kind of work. I also texted him a week ago about another issue and never heard back. In following up he did not respond and claimed to offer services he no longer does. I adjusted my review because of these factors. He cannot assemble heavy furniture that requires more than one person.

Rob was great! Friendly, efficient, and stuck to his original price estimate. He was in and out so quickly, fixing a hole/leak in our kitchen sink drain and leaving it looking and working great! We'll definitely be contacting Rob again for all our future plumbing needs.

Great job. Came in and cleared my drain really quickly.  Had some struggles but still managed to get it done and made sure to take care not to damage anything else in the process and cleaned up after. Very pleased and will definitely call with any future jobs.

Olsi did an absolutely perfect job! The rate he charged was very competitive as well. My bathtub drain was beyond clogged before this maintenance. He was quick and cleaned up before leaving. My drain is as good as new! Would recommend to anyone :)

Christopher showed up in a mask and was wonderful to deal with.  He is a man of his word and promptly ordered the part I needed.  It was difficult to get the part as the toilet model was discontinued.  He managed to get it anyway, promptly delivered and installed it.

Excellent, quick service. Our toilet sprung a leak on Fri morning, and he was here by early afternoon same day. Fixed by 2pm, and just in time for the weekend...Highly recommended.

I needed immediate help with a clogged toilet.  Joshua answered immediately and was able to come over within a few hours.  He even called back and let me know that he was nearby and was able to come over earlier.
The clog was a bigger fix than originally thought and Joshua walked me through all the steps, let me know of his (very fair) pricing and left the bathroom very clean and organized and the toilet in great working order.
I'd highly recommend Joshua/Bullseye Mechanical for all of your plumbing needs.  
Thank you, Joshua!

Looking for a plumber at 5p on a Friday? Look no more! I called 5 other plumbers on Yelp before I finally got to John and he was the first one to answer and offer help. Not only did he try to save me money by making sure it wasn't a city drainage issue, but he also communicated his ETA clearly and was helpful when he finally came to fix my backed up water main. He educated me on the watch outs of my particular plumbing situation and promptly left without trying to upsell me. I definitely plan to keep his number for any future issues or plumbing needs. Highly recommend!

Eugene was showed up right on time to fix my broken sink drain.  He went to go get some parts and finished in just about an hour. I appreciate punctuality because I can plan out my day and get on with it once the job is done.  His price might be on the higher end but he won't disappoint.

Used for 2 projects, one for leaky sink and another for leaky sink and clogged drain.   He is very respectable person who gets the job done right and fast.  I would call again for any future plumbing issue.

Had a Friday night sink emergency that turned out to be more than just a clog - there were rotted pipes as well. 24 Hour were responsive,  knowledgeable and didn't wuit until the job was done right. Thry actually left the pipes in a better configuration than they were before. My new go-to plumber, for sure!

Making some cosmetic changes to my guest bathroom and needed a handyman to install the light, mirror, shelving and new sink & tub fixtures. I emailed Robert through his website on a Wednesday afternoon and he arrived the very next day. Robert is professional and prompt. After his first visit, Robert helped me, via text, shop for correct fixtures (what I originally bought wouldn't work). Once the new fixtures arrived, Robert came back to do that part of the job. His help with the shopping was much appreciated, as I had no idea what I was looking at! Robert is efficient and polite. We still have a few more items on the punch list, so thankfully he'll be back again in a few days. I highly recommend him!

Got my toilet fixed pretty quickly and identified other things wrong with it and corrected those issues as well.

There is always a certain amount of trepidation when you choose a company with little to no reviews on Yelp. However, I would encourage you to take a chance on Peral. They have been professional, prompt and have gone the extra mile at every turn. Eight plumbers refused to take on the job and Peral accepted without a second thought.
