Best Businesses in New York, NY

Main Man- extremely professional, knowledgeable, RELIABLE and honest. when we were faced with a HUGE sewer issue at our home we were lucky to have Main Man on our side. They advised us step by step what the best solution would be while keeping a reasonable cost in mind. They were very honest and quick to find the problem (6 cracks & breaks in our sewer line!). every morning they showed up to work at 8am, never late with no excuses, the most reliable contractors we ever dealt with. We were blessed to have Main Main during this major sewer problem. We felt the job will be done the right way..and it was. We highly recommend Main Man.

Akeim is professional, knowledgeable and efficient.  When the kitchen faucet in my tenant apartment broke, from the pictures of the damage he was able to assess quickly that I needed to do a replacement instead of a repair and advised objectively on the type of faucet I should get.  Once obtained, he installed it quickly for a reasonable price.  I was very pleased with his work and look forward to working with him on future projects.

These guys are absolutely amazing.  Hands down the best experience I have ever had with any kind of contractor, anywhere, and I've used lots of them over the years.  The service and professionalism and communication and attention they provide are the kind you'd expect from the guy you know in a small town; I was so pleasantly surprised (shocked, actually) to find someone like this in Manhattan.  If you ever need plumbing work done, do yourself a favor and call these guys!  Seriously!

We found out that our shower was apparently leaking and causing some issues in the unit below us, so we needed a fix.  Since we hated our bathroom, we decided to gut the thing and start anew rather than trying to patch things up.  We spoke to an unbelievable number of contractors.  Many would make appointments to evaluate and give an estimate and never show up.  Those that did show up would give astronomical quotes.  I mean, this is New York, but come on, renovating a bathroom shouldn't eat up 25% of my take-home salary.

We saw an ad on TV for a site called HomeAdvisor, and Star Cities was one of the places they referred us to.  We emailed Star Cities and got a very prompt reply.  They set up an appointment and kept it.  They showed up on time (a few minutes early, actually) and took the time to explain what needed to be done clearly, assuring us that it was not as bad of a job as we thought.  We loved Robert, and waited for their quote.  The quote came quite quickly -- much more quickly than we expected -- and we were pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was.  Robert was the best plumber we'd met, and gave us a good and fair price.  Needless to say, we booked him to do the work.

They started the work just when they said they would (a few minutes early, actually).  Over the course of a couple of weeks (we did this around Thanksgiving), they completely changed our bathroom.  They tore out the tub, the walls around the tub, the toilet, and the floor, and installed a new tub (which was very hard to do I'm sure because we have a very weird and VERY tight space), a new shower body, new floors, painted the walls, installed a new toilet, and everything.  They even installed a new shower door.  The shower door wasn't part of the work order, but when we found one we liked, be bought it and brought it to the apartment.  We asked them to install it and told them we'd pay for the installation; they installed it and didn't charge us.  It was not an easy door to install (a weird Kohler barn door thing).

We were actually so impressed with the work they were doing, we decided to ask them to demolish an old closet and build a new one, as well as hang crown moulding around our entire apartment.  They gave us a good quote and worked with our budget.  The closet and the crown moulding are absolutely gorgeous.  We'd thought about using the handyman at the hardware store next door for that work, but he never gave us a quote, despite our constant reminders.  Robert, however, gave us a quote quickly, and did an amazing, amazing job.  I'm so glad we didn't go with someone else on the closet, because they gave us exactly what we wanted.  It looks so much better than we imagined.

After they finished the bathroom, we noticed a problem with the hot water (not enough water pressure).  I sent Robert a very panicked text late at night.  He promptly replied, showed up the next day, and fixed the issue.  Apparently some detritus got in a pipe.  I was very pleased with his follow-through.  Even though the job was done and he'd been paid, he made sure to promptly address the issue.

When it came time to get the final invoice there were no surprises.  The deal was we pay a 75% deposit.  The balance of the invoice was the other 25%.  No sneaking things in, no saying things got complicated, no nothing.  Straight up what we expected: we owed the last 25% that we didn't put down in the deposit.  Star Cities is honest, does quality work, and does the work for what they say they will (and on time).

These guys were such a pleasure to work with.  I hope I don't have any more plumbing issues that need fixing, but if I do, I know where I'll go.  If you need plumbing work done, call them!  You'll be thankful you did.

Great guy fixed our shower leak, and draining sink issues replaced whole fixture and declogged it dealt with unusual plumbing that was in place reversed hoses and other stuff. Also very nice and accommodating with a nice sense of humor. Experienced plumber which quickly knows what tools and products he needed to not waste time, and quickly solve the problem. Accepts credit cards things cost about $100-200 for labor.

Thank you!

Professional company that returns your call in a timely manner. Stand behind their work

Stay away from this company I don't think they are licensed plumbers.

I reached out on yelp for an estimate to disconnect a water heater and furnace while I had work done in my basement and then have it reconnected when the work was done. James (who said he is one of the owners) messaged me with his phone number and asked me to call him to discuss. I called and we discussed the project. He said he would send me an estimate the next day. The next day he emailed me what I guess he thought was an estimate. It was just an email that had a brief description of the work and a price at the bottom. No name of the company, license number, or payment details. I texted James if he could send me a formal estimate with the company name and license number. I never got a response back. I texted him multiple times and called and never got a response. Also, his voicemail is full so you can't even leave a message when you call. I believe that they are not licensed and that is why they never responded back once I asked for a license number. This company is so unprofessional and I am glad I didn't get to point of having them do work in my home. I also needed my sewer pipe replaced so they lost that job as well. I would have also recommended them on my school district Facebook group because people are always asking for reliable plumbers.

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

Just spent an entire day waiting for William Rivera to appear. At 930 he was coming. Then said he had a flat and another job and would call after that job. At 5:30 I called, got his voicemail. He never responded. Called the company and they said they would have him call. It is 8 pm and nothing. I am glad my problem is not flooding. I wonder if I could charge for the day I spent waiting for nothing. A call would have been at least polite. Now I will use someone else.

Excellent for a small plumbing job. Reasonable pricing and fast courteous professional service.

We just had the best experience with Blaustein Plumbing. Their employee arrived in less than 2 hours from our call.  He was polite, articulate and knowledgable - even funny!  The issue with our in-sink disposal unit was diagnosed and repaired quickly.  I have told our management company not to use anyone else any more.

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.

These guys are the best! They were very quick to respond, and above all honest and reliable. Fixed our heating and hot water issues with a minimum of fuss in no time and for very reasonable prices. What more could you ask for in a plumbing service or any service for that matter? Highly recommend!

Best service Ive ever had from a business.I had a problem with the DEP not accepting my backflow test results due to the initial test being filled out incorrectly by a Build it Back architect,Tom and his staff did all the legwork contacting all the parties involved and rectified the situation.They saved me a lot of money in fines,And also saved me from having to hire another architect.They asked for nothing in return,even though they spent alot of time and energy on my case.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They have just about any plumbing part you can imagine in stock

Quick response and reasonably priced quote. We needed a leak repaired in our main bathroom as well as replacing a vanity. While he was here, he noticed the toile needed to be fixed and offered to that that for a small additional charge. Very friendly and professional. Arrived on time, got the job done quickly and efficiently. We are hiring him again to do some work to our master bathroom.

Came on time, knowledgeable, helpful, courteous.   Would definitely recommend them to someone looking for simple drain issues.

I called Cheap John's yesterday late afternoon and Eric showed up today as promised.  We had a nice conversation, they have lots of experience and he worked in the pouring rain as the sewer line outside was clogged.  It was a little bit more then the $59.95 they advertise but well worth it.  Still cheaper then the ridiculous estimate from the other nationally advertised chain who wanted $495 for the SAME work and offered to go down to $395 if I pay cash.  Cheap John was less than half of that.

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.
