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!

Reliable, efficient and reasonable.  Thanks to recommendations on Yelp, I called Star Cities Plumbing when I had a problem with the diverter on our shower.  Robert arrived within a week to provide a free quote (some companies charge you just to provide a quote!!!!!!) and was able to return in 2 days to carry out the job.  Could not be easier.

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!

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.

Discovered leak from pipe in crawlspace.  Temporarily stopped it by shutting water supply to toilet. Called Platinum Plumbing and Peter was affable, and immediately available. He arrived right on time early in AM AND QUICKLY repaired the failed PVC joint .  He was extremely accommodating and very skilled.  I asked him to check a sound coming from toilet and he discovered malfunctioning fill valve.  He offered to come baxk same day or make a new appointment, my choice.  His price was very fair, and his immediate response and helpful attitude were refreshing. Highly recommended!!

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.

Downtown plumbers are the best.
Anthony and Dom are a pleasure to work with. They are professional courteous and they know exactly what they are doing
They make you feel at ease in that there is no need to worry. You are in good hands!
Dominic is also a professional and he makes sure everything is done perfectly!

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

We had an incredibly positive experience with Blaustein Plumbing. We have custom, European plumbing fixtures (installed by previous owners) that are so specialized many plumbers don't understand how to fix them. I was recommended Blaustein Plumbing by a Plumbing and Hardware store that sells the specialized parts we needed. They charged a VERY reasonable (relatively speaking) flat fee per hour and are far more experienced and knowledgeable compared to other plumbers I've worked with. They're also super courteous, in addition to the mask, they put booties on before entering the apartment, gave me advice on how my building's super could fix certain items or issues (so I wouldn't have to spend the money calling a plumber). It was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend this plumber.

Samir and his team are very professional, responsive, and reasonable in their rates. Samir worked with me when I suddenly got COVID and had to cancel, to reschedule and he coordinated with Khalid, who did my latest round of household repairs, to be sure everything was done well, and according to my specifications. I highly recommend Samir and his team!

It's unfortunate that I have to give these guys a bad review since my experience with them started out great. Initially they saved me by replacing a water heater the day before Thanksgiving before we were hosting 20 people.

I decided to proactively replace the second water heater in my apartment before it died at an inopportune time since I knew its lifecycle was almost over. Friedman installed a new one, but made a mistake on the installation causing water to leak into my neighbors both below my apartment and below them. No problem with me. People make mistakes and Friedman was good about rushing back to stop the leak.

The problem occurred when it came to repair the damage to my neighbors' apartments. Friedman was very difficult to deal with in getting their damages repaired. To be fair, they never argued it was their responsibility, but it was a consistent series of unreturned messages, no shows appointments and rude replies that was so disappointing. After a couple months one of the damaged apartments was fixed and now after 6 months I finally gave up and am paying out of pocket to repair the other neighbors apartment. Though it's Friedman's responsibility, ultimately it's my apartment that caused the leak so I'll make good on his failure.

Though I'm sure they are competent plumbers and I know people make mistakes, it was super disappointing he never took responsibility and made good. I think it's important people consider this as they decide who to hire for plumbing work.

They provide exceptional and quick Backflow testing at a competitive price.  Tom went above and beyond to resolve additional issues arose after the testing. He is courteous and walked me through step by step to get the work done. Highly recommended to anyone who needs Backflow testing!

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....

Great company to work with! We had a sink and shower that had been clogged and hired Racso Plumbing and Heating for the job. They were very quick to reply to messages, offered a really affordable price, and the sink and shower were fixed very quickly! I would definitely recommend them and use them 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.

They came back refunded partial of my money and situated the problem with my weirdly shaped bathroom.

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