Best Businesses in New York, NY

We had a water main leak and the DEP gave me a notice to have it fixed in three days.  I kind of freaked out and started calling a bunch of companies but only got somebody will get back to you ASAP or the guys who did show up made me feel like they were trying to get one over on me.  When I called Main Man Scott picked up right away and was able to give me a lot of information over the phone. I was impressed with how knowledgeable and on top of things he was especially compared to the others.  The pricing wasn't that far off from what some of the others were quoting but after coming to give the estimate he made me feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of properly.They showed up first thing the next morning and everything was finished by the time I got back from work.  They also seemed to make the extra effort to clean up afterwards.  Hopefully this problem doesn't come up again but if it does I know who the first person I will call will be. Thanks, Main Man!!

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!

I first started using Robert from a recommendation from my management company. He has been prompt and very professional the two times I've had to call him. The first was for a noisy heating pipe that he was able to fix that two other companies were unable to. He also repaired my heating system and the final price was half of his original quote. It's hard to find a reliable/honest plumber and I would recommend Robert and Star Cities plumbing.

Eddie and his team were excellent: prompt, professional, and knowledgeable!

Despite it being New Year's Day when I contacted Eddie, he responded in less than an hour and came out the next day to diagnose our problem (dead water heater). Since we opted to use him for the repair, Eddie did not charge us for the diagnostic fee. He is knowledgeable about the different water heater brands, and I feel confident with the product he recommended and installed.

For both the diagnostic visit and the repair, Eddie kept me updated via text on his estimated arrival time and was always punctual. The team installed the new water heater very quickly. The price was quoted up front, and there were no surprises when the work was completed.

In terms of COVID precautions - the team wore masks and gloves while they were in my apartment.

Mike saved us from a potential disaster! We had a leaking water heater, and no prior experience with anything of this magnitude since we bought an older home. Not knowing who to call and being skeptical of someone taking advantage, we decided to call Mike at Austin Plumbing and Heating. He showed up ready to work right away. He was quick, efficient, professional, and fair. He educated us and wasted no time in getting our new water heater up and running. We highly recommend him. Don't hesitate and trust Mike!

Pete and James were knowledgeable and respectful. They identified the problem and fixed it right away. I highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.

My hot water heater had a leak from both incoming and outgoing pipes and needed a help. Guillermo was very prompt and gave me clear information about the issue. He was able come 1 hr earlier than the scheduled time, fixed the problem in about an hour. Maximo team is highly recommended.

Waited for 4 hours. Guy showed up without calling - oh, the office was supposed to call you. Wanted to charge me $275 for a job that he said would be an hour but was probably less than half of that (with no parts cost - replacing an inner tank that I had on hand). Didn't seem to know what he was doing.

I rarely leave reviews, yet I felt it important in this case so people get a balanced opinion. I hired Colin Lee for a plumbing job based solely on his 5 star reviews. I was extremely disappointed. I hired him to evaluate my kitchen drain as it was draining slowly. As reviews indicated, he is personable and wore shoe covers into my apartment, so I was already sold. He looked at my kitchen and bathroom sinks and snaked a small portion of the drain under my sink. When he did not clear the obstruction, he told me the blockage was well distant to my apartment (I live on the second floor of an old Brownstone). He said the problem was likely in the walls below my apartment or in the basement. As this was a job beyond his scope, he said I would need a larger plumbing company. He charged me $50 for his time and went on his way. I understood and initially thought this all seemed reasonable.

I then called a different plumber, who came the next day. I told the second plumber what Colin had said. The new plumber was certain it needed to be snaked and that Colin had not done an adequate job. The second plumber spent about an hour and thoroughly snaked my kitchen pipes. He cleared the obstruction and the water drains perfectly.

I then contacted Colin and let him know that my pipes just needed additional snaking and were now fine. I was hoping he would do the right thing and at least return my $50. Instead, he stuck to his original explanation. He said From my experience it seems like the issue I explained, and in my experience the issue generally returns in a week or 2 even if you think the clog is gone. It has been two weeks and my sink drains beautifully.

I assume Colin is OK for very simple jobs.....although, by plumbing standards, my job was relatively simple. If you have any job that is remotely complicated, look elsewhere.

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!

I recently had my Tudor home in New Jersey painted by S&A Quality Pro Services. I was impressed with the work and particularly the responsiveness of Samir, the owner. His guys came over promptly every morning and finished the job in less than a week, despite challenging weather conditions. I intend to use them for other home improvement projects in the future.

I had a great experience with Friedman Irwin & Son! J was accommodating to my busy schedule and was able to come fix my toilet on a traditional holiday. The toilet in my apartment is of an older generation, so when a certain plumbing company (rhymes with Moto' Scooter) came in to do an estimate, I was told the entire system needed to be replaced and would cost upwards of $475 plus tax!! Absolutely not. When J came in and actually took a look at what was going on, he was able to replace a small part of the flush valve and it only cost me $150 for the whole time he was there, which only ended up being about 45 mins.
I would absolutely recommend J and Friedman Irwin & Son for your plumbing troubles!

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.

There customer service is great, everyone is friendly. I would recommend this spot to any one in need of plumbing supplies. I was also told they sell Girl Scout Cookies so I had stopped by to buy some and it was very heart warming to see how the father was supporting his daughter.

My basement was ruined due to the hurricane this fall.  Rasco was the first to save the day.  I hired them to install a Sump Pump and run the line to the street.  Their crew was very professional  and though my basement was trashed from the storm damage; I loved the fact they were almost apologetic about having to make holes in my ceiling to run new lines... Imagine that!!!  That gesture made me feel like they cared about my home as if it was their own.  Needless to say; the work was flawless and minimal holes were cut.  I'm beyond happy with their service and would hire them again for any future plumbing needs.

Thanks.

I had a great experience with Urgent Drain today. We had a very bad back up in the basement which needed to be addressed ASAP. Robert was very professional and efficient. They were able to come within a few hours and got the job done. I highly recommend Urgent Drain!  I will definitely be using their services in the future. I'm happy I found them! Thank you, Rob!

Thank God for Mike!
He showed up on time, went right to work and knew immediately what was wrong. He found a clogged trap that had never been cleaned in the 30 years we've lived here.
We didn't even know it existed, no other plumber over the years had ever found it.
Mike is friendly, professional and thorough.
I highly recommend him!!!

AE was recommended to me by a contractor friend who has been buying from them for years. I went in to buy parts for a project in which I have to build an inflation system (balloon that inflates and deflates) so I was looking for valve part options to facilitate inflation and deflation.

The men working there were willing to help me and showed me a few part options. The first man (the owner I think) gave me some switch valves (plastic & metal) and then another man brought out a bike pump valve and a ball valve. I ended up buying the bike valve for $3.

They said they did not sell any small pumps (smaller than large bike pumps they were selling).

They accept returns with 25% restocking fee within 30 days.
