Best Businesses in New York, NY

i hired Main Man Plumbing last October as i was having major water main problems.  I had 4 other companies come over and do estimates.  The salesman from Main Man was the only one of the 5 companies that i trusted from the first minute i met him. He didn't try to OVERSELL me and came across down to earth, just wanted to explain what had to be done and made it simple so i understood.  He was reasonably priced as well.  The job went exactly as planned, perfectly done. The 4 guys who worked on the job were professionals, very safety conscious and did a great job cleaning up and laying the cement afterwards.  I can truly say i would recommend Main Man Plumbing to anyone who has sewer or water main problems. 5 stars!   I've been thru hell with other contractors thru the years but this was a winning team!

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

Robert  provides a consultative service - meaning, he doesn't just give you one answer to solve your issue. If there are options, he will lay out all your options and clearly delineate what's involved and when/why to go one route over another.  And he will also give you his honest opinion about what he thinks you should do even if it's the least costly. He quote fair prices and one is comfortable with his work and solutions.

Reason Robert doesn't get 5 stars is b/c when he seemingly gets busy, he doesn't return calls - even to say he can't take the work...which is what professional thing to do.  So while I was happy with work Robert did and his feedback was truly valuable when deciding on course of work and solutions.   What was disappointing was the follow up and eventual drop off when he got busy.

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 needed a new steam boiler and hot water heater and had the typical angst about getting ripped off by a dishonest plumber.  I call Platinum Plumbing and spoke with James and was immediately put at ease. He gave me a very fair quote and did a wonderful job from start to finish. They worked very clean and safe.
     I was a chief engineer in an office building for twenty years and dealt with loads of tradesmen and these guys were the tops.  They don't talk down to you or try to bs you. They come in and do the right thing.  There were no problems and both units are running perfectly. I would use them again and will be recommending them to my family and friends.

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

Super responsive and very helpful.  Could not be more positive on the experience.  Unfortunately, however, their technician was not trained on my particular type of boiler.  So they could not fix it.  But they bent over backwards trying to solve the problem and hardly charged me anything to diagnose the problem.

Colin is breath of fresh air in a NYC landscape where expertise, trust, fairness and honesty are rarities. I've worked on half a dozen projects with Colin over the past 2 years ranging from installing a new kitchen sink faucet to installing a water filter, hooking up a new washer, snaking a clogged drain all the way to ordering new parts and fixing a non-flushing toilet. He's a good communicator, follows his word and is on time. He's also a straight shooter on pricing and is always willing to go the extra mile to do what's needed. Finally, Colin is an absolute gentleman, so I highly recommend him.

The guy showed up without tools.. and after waisting 1.5 h of my time, he said that he didn't find any leak and wanted me to sign a waiver... the worst experience ever.. don't use them

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!

One afternoon I was walking by and realize they sell Girl Scout cookies. Well, I don't need a single plumbing supply but  I was happy to find cookies. Costumer service was friendly and helpful and I didn't feel uncomfortable  being a woman walking in there. Head to DJ plumping for your Plumping and cookie needs. HAHA

We reached out to have a bbq natural gas line installed. Came on time to give us a quote and was very fair. Came in cheaper than all other quotes I received. While I don't believe cheaper is always better, their team did a super clean job of installing the gas line. They cleaned up and I have not had any issues ever since the line was installed more than 6+ months ago. My go-to plumber going forward.

I hired Rob and his son after they assured me that the reason why water/sewage was seeping from the base of my toilet was a clogged pipe, not the sewage line like what two young men from a business in South Orange, NJ, said. Jerry and Shawn quoted me over $600 to snake the sewer line and secure my toilet to the bathroom floor. I turned them away, even after Jerry asked if $500 was acceptable.
Rob and junior came 5 minutes later, inspected my my sewage system and bathroom pipes, and got started right away. Rob explained everything before and during the service. He even educated me on preventative measures, i.e., use septic-friendly tissue, even for non-septic systems, and to have my pipes redone to correct the 90-degree angle.
Why only 4 stars? I had to take off one, because my wife spent a good hour cleaning up the oil splatter from the snake drain. Other than that, Rob and his young son did a great job. They won my trust.

Called Cheap Johns night after calling around for a main line flood on a Sunday night! Not even an hour passed between me calling them and them arriving and fixing the issue. Eric was great. Wouldn't think of calling anyone else.

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