Best Businesses in New York, NY

I own a 110 year-old house in Brooklyn.  I have lived here for 33 years.
Our clay sewer pipes are as old as the house and we were tired of late night sewer clog emergencies. So, after 33 years of procrastination, we decided to do the big-dig and have our main sewer line replaced.

In Brooklyn, I found two companies that specialize in Sewer Main replacement I selected Main Man Water Works because they had a higher yelp rating than the other company and my next door neighbor had good results when they used Main Man Water Works to replace their sewer main.  We called Scott, Main Man's master plumber, scheduled an estimate the same week, and started the work by the following week.  

The sewer main replacement took two days, from start to finish.  They were able to tunnel under our front steps and front porch so both survived the ordeal undamaged.  (Hip, hip hurray!!) The new sewer line was installed and working on the first day.  On the second day, the job was finished, including hooking up an active storm drain into the sewer line (somehow skipped on the first day), replacing the cement walkway, and replacing a small section of cement floor that had to be removed in the basement near the pipe traps.

For the main job, the installation of the sewer-main, they know their stuff inside-and-out, and that part was worry-free.  The second day was also ok, but we had to ask them correct a few of the finishing details.

For clarity, here are the finishing details we had ask them to correct.  We had to ask them to spend more time tamping (packing down) the filled soil.  Extra tamping takes more time & delays pouring the cement walkway, but reduces the risk of a sinking, sagging walkway in a few years. When pouring the cement, they initially left out the expansion joints and we had to ask them to add expansion joints (heavy felt strips) in the cement in order to reduce risk of future cracking.  Finally, when restoring the pit for the sewer trap, they were initially going to make the pit twice as large. At our request, they moved the wood backer-boards before pouring the cement and restored the pit to approximately the original size.

In summary, their work is very good, but be prepared to oversee and correct some of the finishing details near the end of the job.

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

Star Cities only has one plumber, that is Robert. His price quotes are the highest and his troubleshooting inspections always result with replacing everything instead of correcting the problem that he caused.
I used him once, paid through the nose and will never call Star Cities again.

He came to put my radiators in place. He did the job I paid him. I have since called him twice, he gives me an appointment time then does not show up. I am wondering if my color skin has anything to do with his behavior since there wasn't any problems when he came to replace radiators.

They did the job quickly,  efficiently and professionally.  They communicated and explained everything that need to be done. I especially liked that Mike was respectful and wore a mask when speaking with my family.  I highly recommend Austin Plumbing and Heating.

Highly recommend! Pete was quick to schedule our estimate and very helpful when explaining the problem we had. I have already given their card to my neighbors for a referral

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

These guys are great. Had a major toilet issue that they dealt with immediately even though it turned into a lengthy nightmare. Super nice and helpful!

Lucky I managed to get hold of Colin when some plumbing issues popped up in my place on a Friday afternoon. He came right over and identified the problem, suggested a solution and gave a guide price on fixing it up. He really explained what was required and how the original problem developed which is unusual as I think plumbers/electricians like to keep things as vague as possible - not with Colin.

In terms of the work it was completed promptly and slightly under budget (another huge plus & surprise!).

Colin is now my plumber guy and I'll be recommending him to friends / colleagues in the future

Excellent service ! The men are efficient , very professional , quick ,  thorough , polite . My plumbing issue was resolved beautifully . I've used this company prior to this problem and will continue to do so with any / all future plumbing troubles I'm sure to encounter . Hats off to James Bond & St Michael !

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.

Very friendly family business. They were able to come same day in a pinch and followed up after fixing my heater to make sure we were satisfied with 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.

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.

Oscar arrived on time and charged me not a penny more than his online quote. Will use again.

Rob came to my home the same day as my initial request. I'd called two other specialists in the same week, they came out but did not fix the problem.  When Rob came, he went straight to the problem, said that he fixed it and that I wouldn't have another problem and to contact him within 30 days if I did.  
Rob is professional, reliable and quick and I am glad to know that he is a phone call away.
Thank you Rob and I will be recommending you to anyone who needs your services.

Hands down these guys are the best at what they do. I wouldn't think of using anyone else. Mike is very professional and sincere.

These guys rock! Definitly a Supply house for professional plumbers, but if you heed somthing done, you might meet one us there.
