Best Businesses in New York, NY

As new homeowners with our first plumbing emergency, we feel grateful to have found Scott.

We had a leaking problem pipe in our basement! We called a lot of plumbers.

Scott returned our call promptly and came by the next day with a fair estimate. Then he came back the next day with a pipe camera to make sure the problem was as he had diagnosed.

Compared to other plumbers who either didn't return our calls, or scared us with huge estimates to fix much more than needed fixing, Scott focused on the problem and fixed it within a few days. He guaranteed his work for five years, which is very reassuring.

He was honest, fair, and knowledgeable.

I had a leak in the basement from a broken pipe. Responded quickly to request for a quote. Showed up and did a great job for a fair price. Highly recommend to anyone in need of plumbing service

Robert is a real professional.  He responded to my initial voicemail within minutes and after exchanging a few emails my appointment was set a few days in advance.  After dealing with two other plumbers who don't return calls, show up late or not at all, etc. it was so refreshing to work with someone reliable.

He provided a fair quote to switch out a bathroom vanity sink with a new one I'd purchased after looking at pictures of my existing plumbing and the new pedestal I needed installed.  Note that his quotes are set for a job including materials, not the usual time + materials situation you see with most contractors.  Again, he knows what he's doing and the transparency is a breath of fresh air.

The morning of our appointment he showed up 20 minutes early, focused on finishing the work, got it done within the expected window (this included a quick run to Home Depot for supplies), and left the bathroom looking tidy.  Robert was polite and answered questions about other work I might need to have done in the future - I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for those projects.  While it wasn't included in my initial quote, he was kind enough to call helpers to bring the old sink down the stairs of my walkup building.  Thanks for a job well done!

As a homeowner, I put the feelers out through my usual channels for a plumber and just happened to find Recommended Plumbing on yelp while searching. Initially, Eddie and I had a quick conversation and I wasn't even sure I was going to use him. I'm sure glad that I did. No regrets here! After whittling down my list of plumbers, I realized that all charged between $150-$200 just to come out and assess the issue. I wasn't above paying a service charge but these guys were charging the equivalent of one hour of labor. I understand that the money goes towards the cost of the job but that all but GUARANTEES that I go with that particular plumber! Not Eddie. His service charge was very reasonable and yeah, I was going to have him do the job anyway. Being practical about the service charge was one of THE main reasons he won my business. Now on to his expertise: bottom line, this guy knows his stuff! He took one look at the issue and told me what needed to be done and how much it was going to cost, all-in. When he and his partner, Patrick finished up, he even gave me a bit of a break on the balance due because I was paying in cash. All in all, Eddie is very friendly, he knows his stuff, and is very reasonable with his pricing.

Mike from Austin Plumbing is great! called him at 8AM showed up promptly to help fix my heating pipe leak on a Sunday. Very detail oriented and made sure everything is okay. He seems very knowledgeable. Will definitely call him again for future plumbing needs. 5 stars

Found the leaks around the bowl so I figured the two toilets were not set right. Called Platinum during this very special time in our lives and without hesitation they came the next day. They were so polite and properly outfitted with PPE so that was great.  We then found the bigger issue with the stack pipe was cracked.  They were so nice and said don't worry that's what we do.  They were true five star.  The fair price is just the cherry on top.

Called this company for an emergency (heat stopped working). They came in 10 mins and was very professional. Did a great job and will definitely use them again. 5/5 stars

Andre came to inspect our broken faucet and leaky dishwasher and was fantastic. He fixed the leak and then came back the following week to install a new faucet after our contractor broke it on install. Fantastic service and so responsive and helpful - couldn't have asked for anything more.

Honest plumber. Awesome guy, we've used him a few times. He put in our new garbage disposal, fixed leaks under the kitchen sink, fixed toilets, and the bathtub faucet. His prices are MORE THAN FAIR, esp. considering we previously had Fred Smith plumbers in here who charged us a fortune and did a shitty job.

We just always use Colin now for all plumbing stuff, and I gave my neighbor his number as well. Would definitely recommend.

I love Blaustein. They have been around for 20+ years and have come in times of emergency as well as remodels. They are super helpful and friendly plumbers who provide good feedback and insight into best toilets, sinks, sizes, and more. I've had amazing conversations with these folks who have completely changed my perspective on plumbing best practices. Love the Blaustein. Family, they have my business!

Samir was very communicative, quick response time and provided the required insurance paperwork etc. He did the job as promised at the agreed price. It was a scraping, plastering, priming, painting job. Very satisfied with it. I'd use him again for this type of work or for plumbing etc.

Humorous, personable, on time, got the job done with no muss or drama, excellent service.

prompt, efficient, and lower rate than what I was paying with another
company who this time was not returning my calls, which turn out to
be good.

I was at first a bit intimidated by DJ Plumbing. I walked in soon after opening on a weekday, and was the only one there not belonging to one of the numerous plumbing trucks outside. Everyone else was coming to pick up a long list of items they had ordered ahead of time, using jargon and shorthand for each item. I had a plastic shopping bag with a broken pipe I couldn't tell you the width of.
I was helped quickly, though, and was NOT treated like the idiot I am. I left with the item I needed, a wrench for the job, and had my sink drain fixed minutes after getting home. Everything was relatively cheap, too.
You know how they say that you know you're at a good Chinese food restaurant when you see Chinese people eating there?
Like that, but for plumbers.

Racso did a great job replacing my boiler.  Gave a fair price and did it in a very timely manner.  I would definitely recommend them.

Rob is the man for all your drain and sewage needs. Called him and he was able to take care of my emergency same day and on a Sunday ! He diagnosed the issue right away and performed hydro jetting to clean the 30 ft of backup found in my home, which has so far worked like a charm. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and explained to me very well what was going on. Thank you Rob!

Terriable.  First of all they don't show up with the right tools.  He brought a drain cleaner that had nothing attached to the end of the cable - so how is he going clean out a sewage line with that?   They don't have an option to use a camera to look down the sewage line to see what the problem is and just assumed everthing is fine for whatever little work they did.  Total scam artists and complete waste of money.  Also super annoyed with calling us good people and saying how their reviews are great.  I'm sure most of these 5 star reviews aren't real customers but friends&family.

Guy tells me on the phone that they have the cartridge for a specific toilet flush system.  He sounded dismissive and like he didn't know what he was talking about, so I asked three times, even though he tried to hang up on me, if it was the cartridge they had.  He says yes then hangs up.  Walk over there and it's the handle not the cartridge.  Another guy working there acknowledged what an idiot the person I dealt with was and tried to help but they didn't have the part.  I'm not a plumber, but I know how to fix a toilet and the exact parts I need to do so.

Steer clear of this place.  They don't want to be bothered by non-plumbers.
