Thank you Main Man Plumbing Corporation!
    We learned that we had a broken sewer line when a basement toilet seriously backed up.  A neighborhood plumber came and tried to rotor rooter the toilet clog. His bit got stuck  and he could not extricate it. We have a Victorian house that is over 100 years old and learned that our pipe line was clay piping. We met with several plumbers and received an array of price quotes.  We checked that all had licenses and went on several web sites for reviews.  Main Man was recommended by my seamstress who said the company did a wonderful job on her sewer line problem. My husband was impressed with Main Man's representative and told me that he seemed to really know his business.  The owner, Scott Kerity, was very pleasant to deal with and explained the permits, the contract details, and how long it would take to do the job. His price was reasonable. By this time, we were taking showers at the neighbor's and the gym.
    After signing the contract, Scott 's team came the next day, right on time and gave us back our water usage. They found the broken pipe and replaced it with the appropriate piping.  All this within 4 hours.  Their work was clean and they did not break the sidewalk ( which we had recently had put down with a special process to match the older sidewalks).  The crew answered all my questions (a lot) about their work. They came the next working day to complete the job.  I was very pleased with the results and that everything that Scott said he would do , was done in a timely and professional manner.  I want to  recommend Main Man Plumbing as an honest, qualified , and efficient company to use. By the way, they also extricated the bit and drill for our neighborhood plumber.

Our toilet had a stoppage in the middle of the night. After consulting with multiple plumbers, Akeim of Sturks Sewer Works was able to clear the blockage and get the toilet back into functional order at a very reasonable rate. Thank you so much Akeim!

My call was taken right away and he called me back immediately.  He couldn't come that day but arranged to come the next.  He arrived on time.  He had to snake out the pipe leading into the wall.  He was highly competent and professional but $290 for about  1/2 hour's labor and no parts seemed on the high side.

I'm a new owner with no go-to's when it comes to plumbers/handymen/etc and my toilet was leaking from the front of the bowl. I left a message for a quote and availability. I got a call back within 30 minutes and a technician was at my apartment within a few hours. He was friendly and efficient and the toilet was fixed within an hour. I will definitely be using Recommended Plumbing for any future needs.

Austin Plumbing  broke my families plumbing and did not pay for the damages.  They were asked  to replace broken parts and  took no
responsibility for the damage they did. They were over 4 hours late and made a mess destroying the plumbing parts and fixture.

TOP NOTCH!!! 10/10 Not even sure where to begin! First of all, after sending out a request for a leaky cast iron waste pipe in my crawl space, Pete responded within minutes with a fair price and exactly what he would need to do for the job. He was even ready to come out that day!! He came out on Saturday for the repair, just to work around my schedule with no issues at all. When he arrived, he was friendly, kind, and considerate. Most importantly, he definitely knew his stuff!! He fixed the leak and even came back later that same day to fix another issue that had occurred. He was there for hours fixing all of the issues my house was having. I will tell everyone about this wonderful company and Pete will be my first call for any plumbing issues from now on. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thanks again Pete!!!!

Very responsive. Did a great job. Prompt and clean. Reasonable pricing. Would definitely hire again

The guys who came to our apartment were courteous, efficient, and professional, and their price was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend them.

Colin is breath of fresh air in a NYC landscape where expertise, trust, fairness and honesty are rarities. I've worked on half a dozen projects with Colin over the past 2 years ranging from installing a new kitchen sink faucet to installing a water filter, hooking up a new washer, snaking a clogged drain all the way to ordering new parts and fixing a non-flushing toilet. He's a good communicator, follows his word and is on time. He's also a straight shooter on pricing and is always willing to go the extra mile to do what's needed. Finally, Colin is an absolute gentleman, so I highly recommend him.

We had an issue with a leak at our restaurant. No one was available.  When we called and spoke to the owner, not only did he make sure to get someone out right away. He followed up after to make sure we were taken care of.

Extremely professional and I am happy to recommend to anyone looking for a good plumbing company.

Samir did an outstanding job painting my bathroom walls. Samir offered great value for his service and was responsive to all my questions. I was also impressed that Samir was able to relocate the towel rack and repair the wall as if the towel rack was never there. Overall I highly recommend!

Jay, the owner, came to fix the problem.  He was able to work around my schedule, very professional and affordable.  Very happy with the results.  Would definitely call them again.  Thank you.

Very proffesional and was half the price of every other company  I called,  They came and took care of the backflow device the same day i called them and took care of all the paperwork as well.

Appalling customer service even borderlining obnoxious for being busy I am just going to have to live with not having your business. Extremely disappointing from a customer service 20yr veteran perspective, a woman owned Construction Co in NY and them being recommended from a Successful GC friend....

Quick and professional install; plumber provided quality parts. Overall excellent service

I called in Sunday night circa 9pm as my sewage was backed up. I explained the situation to Rob (the owner) over the phone, and he came in first thing the next morning. Rob and Junior resolved the issue for us within an hour. Very nice guys and I will call Urgent Drain again should any plumbing issue arise. Thank you for the great service!

I wish I could give zero stars! This is hands down the worse service I have ever dealt with. Extremely unprofessional, Eric showed up with barely any tools and made the issue worse than it was. He was unable to reach the pipe so took a hammer and started banging the pipes until something finally broke. Had to come back numerous times since the problem was never really fixed. Finally had to call another company, who came and fixed the problem immediately and we have never had another issue since! Not only did Cheap Johns not fix the issue, but we had to deal with someone who was extremely obnoxious over 6 times!! Please save yourself a lot of time, energy, and money and use any other service!

The plumber I received was extremely and unreasonably rude. Thought I should write a review about it. Tells me that he knows what he is doing and he in fact, did not. I needed 1 part replaced but he acted like it was life or death. I wouldn't use their service ever if I were you.
