Best Businesses in New York, NY

We had a water main leak and the DEP gave me a notice to have it fixed in three days.  I kind of freaked out and started calling a bunch of companies but only got somebody will get back to you ASAP or the guys who did show up made me feel like they were trying to get one over on me.  When I called Main Man Scott picked up right away and was able to give me a lot of information over the phone. I was impressed with how knowledgeable and on top of things he was especially compared to the others.  The pricing wasn't that far off from what some of the others were quoting but after coming to give the estimate he made me feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of properly.They showed up first thing the next morning and everything was finished by the time I got back from work.  They also seemed to make the extra effort to clean up afterwards.  Hopefully this problem doesn't come up again but if it does I know who the first person I will call will be. Thanks, Main Man!!

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.

I cannot say enough about the excellent work Star Cities did.  They were knowledgeable and could handle the entire project from finding the problem to doing all the work necessary to fix it and re-build my bathroom - demolition, tiling, waterproofing and doing the carpentry.  Excellent work, reasonable price and completed on-time. Thank you Robert!

Very happy with this plumbing company! My boyfriend accidentally drilled into a pipe while hanging something on the bathroom wall - hot water shooting everywhere...Luckily, I was able to turn off the hot water heater and stop the flow. I called Eddie at Recommended Plumbing at 8 AM this morning (Monday) and left a message. He called back about 20 minutes later and was able to send two of his guys to the apartment in less than an hour and a half. They performed a simple repair and were done in less than 20 minutes. The price was extremely reasonable to boot - I will be keeping their number on hand for the future!

Professional company that returns your call in a timely manner. Stand behind their work

It was great having a small family business doing work at my house. Given how the sewer lines were above ground, they installed a pump to allow me to have a sink in my basement. The reason that I needed this sink is for my aquarium hobbies. And long behold, not only were they great plumbers, but they are also into aquariums themselves.

A few things I like to say about them... They are honest people doing professional work. They communicated well and were able to commit to their pricing. They did their best to make this work for me with discussion. In case you are wondering why they may not take your phone calls immediately, they are also the same people responding to Yelp and texts. Their phones were ringing while both of them were busy working on my sink. In my first picture, you can see that both of them are busy trying to fit all the pipes and etc..  Definitely text them and you will hear back from them shortly.

Great communications is the key to develop good relationships with customers. They responded 100% of the time. Given that I was busy with work and meetings, texting back and forth to work out project costs seem to work great for me and them.

Lastly, I just want to say that I highly recommend them.

Called this company for an emergency (heat stopped working). They came in 10 mins and was very professional. Did a great job and will definitely use them again. 5/5 stars

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!

Honest plumber. Awesome guy, we've used him a few times. He put in our new garbage disposal, fixed leaks under the kitchen sink, fixed toilets, and the bathtub faucet. His prices are MORE THAN FAIR, esp. considering we previously had Fred Smith plumbers in here who charged us a fortune and did a shitty job.

We just always use Colin now for all plumbing stuff, and I gave my neighbor his number as well. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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!

Friedman Irwin & Son Inc is AMAZING!!! I called them last night out of desperation -- my hot water was out -- and they were able to come FIRST thing this morning. They were in and out in no time and extremely professional, respectful and polite. And of course, my hot water is fixed. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs! They couldn't be better.

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!

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.

Oscar is very responsible and thoughtful. Price is fair as well. I would recommend for sure.

Very unprofessional
Not clear
Sounds like he has no time for the unfortunate
Not helpful
I don't know what else to say
Yelp shouldn't be helping this guy or company

Terriable.  First of all they don't show up with the right tools.  He brought a drain cleaner that had nothing attached to the end of the cable - so how is he going clean out a sewage line with that?   They don't have an option to use a camera to look down the sewage line to see what the problem is and just assumed everthing is fine for whatever little work they did.  Total scam artists and complete waste of money.  Also super annoyed with calling us good people and saying how their reviews are great.  I'm sure most of these 5 star reviews aren't real customers but friends&family.

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!
