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.

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.

Service was excellent and very fairly priced.  Will definitely use again.

UPDATE:  We did use again - called and Robert came that day.  Amazing, polite and professional service.  Highly recommend!

I'm a new owner with no go-to's when it comes to plumbers/handymen/etc and my toilet was leaking from the front of the bowl. I left a message for a quote and availability. I got a call back within 30 minutes and a technician was at my apartment within a few hours. He was friendly and efficient and the toilet was fixed within an hour. I will definitely be using Recommended Plumbing for any future needs.

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.

I had a great experience working with Peter. We needed to have some plumbing work done asap & he was very responsive. Within 15 minutes of reaching out, I heard back from him. He was able to squeeze me into his schedule the next day to come & install our toilet, as well as fix our water valve. He is very professional & got the job done right, and quickly! Would definitely recommend Peter & work with him again!

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

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!

I have used Colin Lee for a number of plumbing issues in my apartment. He replaced a faucet in my bathtub and in my kitchen sink and he also fixed my toilet. Colin is very responsible, very responsive and great to work with. He gives an honest assessment and his prices are great. I highly recommend him.

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 did an outstanding job painting my bathroom walls. Samir offered great value for his service and was responsive to all my questions. I was also impressed that Samir was able to relocate the towel rack and repair the wall as if the towel rack was never there. Overall I highly recommend!

DO NOT USE THIS PLUMBER.  I called him to replace my faucet and he charged me $300 plus I paid for the faucet.  I blindly chose this guy because of the reviews on Yelp and I got totally screwed.  From the time they got her until the time they left, including when they left my apartment to get the faucet it was 2 hours.  That is $150 an hour.  Taking advantage of people won't get you far in life.  GOOD LUCK

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.

Racso did a great job replacing my boiler.  Gave a fair price and did it in a very timely manner.  I would definitely recommend them.

Officially added to the good people list. On the same day we called, Rob came out and immediately corrected our issue. In the ongoing journey of renovating an 1894 Victorian, we have run into way more bad contractors than desired. It's hard to put into words how grateful you feel as a homeowner when someone simply does a good job at what they say they are going to do for the price they said they were going to do it for. Especially when you don't speak the lingo of the job at hand - you just know you have an issue that you need fixed immediately.

Rob checked all the boxes. He was very responsive in keeping me updated on what time he would arrive although we literally had just called him a couple hours prior. He was professional & considerate, had his own booties to cover dirty shoes (little thing that really is a big thing) and was willing to talk to our other contractors to make sure everyone was on the same page. He was honest and only did what we actually needed rather than what we thought we needed. Literally saved us so much money. He came in, did the job, was beyond fair and kind.

Stop reading and call them. You won't regret it.

I called this company on Sunday because the drain in the kitchen was blocked. Mike came within less than 1/2 and hour and resolved the issue. He is extremely professional and he offered helpful advise related to the overall sewage system. This company provide you 3 months warranty. Mike is the best!

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.
