Best Businesses in New York, NY

I had spoken with 8 plumbers who only cared to come in for a fat paycheck before even trying to understand my issue, which was never solved by any of them.  The stress and frustration of not having a reasonable person to communicate with was inexplicable.  I never imagined how difficult it is to find a plumber who cares to solve a problem.    
Then comes in Scott.  What a professional, and good person!  He's a smart dude. He took the time to listen and to contemplate the issue.  There were very expensive solutions to the problem but he kindly offered a sensible alternative for a fraction of the price.  He even came back here after all was done to follow up and to see if I was happy.  A real stand-up guy!  
Upon seeing other, smaller things, that could be taken care of while he was here, he fixed those and didn't ask for extra money.

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.

Believe the 5 star reviews, we couldn't recommend Robert and Star Cities more highly! We had some plumbing issues relating to our toilet that needed to be solved and after having a few horrible experiences with other companies, we came on Yelp and found Star Cities. The initial person we spoke to at Star Cities was super polite, knowledgeable, and sent us in the direction of Robert to get the work started.  Robert was prompt, reliable, efficient and got the job done and well. Star Cities' pricing was competitive and you certainly get a high calibre of work done for what you pay for.  You're definitely in good hands if you work with these guys!

Had a wonderful experience with this plumbing company.
Eddie was responsive, we spoke on the phone, and I sent him photos of what needed to be done. He gave me a rough estimate that was better than another company that was recommended to me.
I didn't get to meet Eddie, but his guy Gus was great, ontime and even early. He was professional and was able to accomplish the following in a couple of hours.
-Leaking faucet with faucet replacement
-replaced bathtub spout (it was broken)
-installed my bidet
-replaced sink shut off valves.
I will definitely be using them again in the future.

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

This plumber is amazing! He tackled 4 different jobs in the house and was able to finish in 1 day. He cleaned up after each job and left the house spotless. His price is fair and his work is top notch. I highly recommend this plumber.

Extremely flexible to our schedule, came out on a Saturday morning.  Quickly repaired shower and reasonable cost. Will use this company again!

We had a patchwork job done by an amatuer plumbler which caused two leaks under the sink.  We called Downtown Plumbing on Saturday night during Labor Day weekend and he was able to send someone out by 9:00am Sunday morning.  Not only did they show up but he was extremely respectful, knowledgeable and efficient. The job took about an hour to complete and after it was done, he trouble shot some other areas in the kitchen AND in the bathroom. I was so satisfied with the price they charged and the work completed.  I would use Downtown Plumbing & Heating again and recommend them to my family & friends.

I would certainly recommend Colin.  He just installed a kitchen facet for us. Communicated well, showed up on time, and did an excellent job at a fair price.  Will certainly call him again if I have future plumbing needs.

My experience with Blaustein was the complete opposite of Phineas' (as has been the experience of two co-ops who've used Blaustein for years and recommended them).  B. responded immediately to my call and located a hard-to-reach leaking drainpipe that two previous plumbers had been unable to find.  Junior, the head doctor, had to cut away a lot of wood shims under the tub to see the culprit, then removed and replaced it in only two hours' work.  Decades of experience, total professionals, reasonable prices, and it's even a union shop, we understand.

He might be ok for basic projects but he was terrible for us.

First, the quality of the work was only so so at best. They were supposed to do things like sand and repaint the original shutters in our house and they did a pretty terrible job to the point where it may make more sense to just replace them.

Second, he spent a lot of time asking about a second, bigger job we had rather than focusing on doing good work on the first one. If he had spent more time on the first project, maybe we would have given him the second project.

Third, he lost the key to our back door and took away doorknobs we had bought. When we told him it was gone he said his workers never saw it and it wasn't him. Then we showed him photos that the key was there when they started and gone after they worked. Suddenly his workers remembered throwing it on the floor under a pile of bags and magically they found the doorknob, after arguing with us it couldn't be them.

Fourth, he never sent us back the contract that he was supposed to sign (or provide receipts) and then he decided he wanted more money so left on a Friday--taking all of his tools--when he was supposed to return on Monday. We didn't hear from him until Tuesday night when he started arguing with us about more money. He said he was working in New Jersey, but that's not our problem and he needs to at least tell us if he will not be coming back for several days.

If you want to end up on Yelp complaining about this guy or arguing with him in a public forum, feel free to try your luck. It wasn't worth my time.

When it comes to plumbers not many people are excited to deal with them, Myself on the other hand have had the pleasure of working with Irwin Friedman & Son multiple times on various projects and it's as simple as this, THEY ARE THE BEST IN BUSINESS. Twice I have called them was to do gas work at one of my concrete production facilities in Queens, they came and worked closely with Con-Edison to resolve all of my gas leaks and assisted in attaining the proper permits to do so. I called and they showed up an hour later, they literally dropped everything and came running to assist me. When most people hear Con-Ed is involved they go running the opposite way, Jay and Brandon took on these projects head first with out blinking an eye. The second time I dealt with them was on a much smaller level, another gas leak, however this time at my home. Jay and Brandon came running AGAIN and made sure everything was repaired and tested properly. Jay and Brandon along with their team of trained professionals go above and beyond the call of duty no matter how big or small the job is. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, however their name and company history speaks for itself, not many companies have been in business for almost 100 years. Thanks for everything Jay and Brandon, I look forward to working together for many years to come.

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.

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.

My central air started blowing warm air late last night. I called Racso after reading great reviews on Yelp. Immediately Oscar answered my call. He arrived when he said he would the next morning wearing his a mask.  Oscar was professional, knowledgeable and transparent.  He knew immediately what the problem was and charged a fair price for the part and labor. He explained what he did, showed me the bad part and did not try to tell me I needed parts or repairs that weren't needed.
I will definitely call Racso again.

Thanks Robert for your quick answer on Labor Day weekend, as well as showing up on time and doing a great job fixing up my leaky sink! Highly recommend Urgent Drain!!

I had a problem with a clog and had to find a plumber. I called up johns and within an hour had Michael a plumber that works for the company help out quickly and was priced fairly. I would definitely recommend them.

Bought a portable dishwasher, and the device that connects to the sink didn't seem to fit my sink. I went to AE on the recommendation of a local hardware store that wasn't able to help me out.

Turns out, I wasn't doing it the right way and it did fit. They helped me out free of charge, despite the fact that I was a retail client instead of a contractor, who seem to be their typical customers. I appreciated the honesty and quick service!
