Best Businesses in New York, NY

I needed a single 8-foot curtain rod installed in my apartment and sent out a request for a quote via Yelp.

Most handymen replied to me with a quote between $120-170, but I was shocked when Peter replied give me $400.

I'll admit that I cannot verify if his work is up to par, but the exorbitant quote was insane and I did end up choosing another service provider, who did a decent job.

Came to assist so quickly. Offered a fair price and ensured I was happy with the final result. I recommend him to anyone who needs help.

This place is professional, responsive and accountable.  I've worked with other plumbers who disappear on you, don't follow through, or are just never available when you really need them.  They do have a minimum service call fee, but it's pretty on par with what you'll pay for any plumber (maybe less).

Great work from this company. I was very worried at the amount of work that would need to be done to my bathtub. The pipe under my bathtub was completely rotted. Dwight was on time and ready for the task. Very professional and knew what he was doing. Now I can take a shower in my apartment due to his work. Highly recommend this company!

I had a dishwasher installed yesterday.  Bought it from Home Depot who contracted with All Day Plumbing to do the installation.  I can't say enough about the great experience that I had with their guy - Kamran.  He knew exactly what he was doing, he was very professional and respectful.  He took as much care as if this was his own dishwasher.  I definitely recommend Kamran.

I needed my AC installed. Boris and Tseren did it quickly and very well! They were very kind and patient as well. Definitely recommend hiring them!

Did an excellent job with restoring a vintage desk and repainting it, also with hanging artwork

Great company. I've used them twice and the service has always been prompt and excellent. Both times I've dealt with Steve, the owner's son. They replaced my water heater for a reasonable price and also fixed my kitchen sink which had a leak fro a corroded pipe.  They were the only shop in town that sent someone over quickly., thus averting disaster in both cases. The others couldn't see me for a day or more. Their prices are in line with what I expected and above all they are honest.

We just had Brooklyn's best AC, back out for pre-summer maintenance, they cleaned and tuned-up our cooling system

No show, and no response.
The last thing you want to do to keep a good reputation. Luckily found someone else who took on a job.
Lady on the phone, Lory, is a bit rude, wont respond.

We have used Infinite Comfort over three times now (since May). Every single time, they are efficient, honest, and really friendly. I am so glad we found Fabio to help us with our HVAC needs. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and is always very thorough. When he came this time to look at our central AC fan, he even checked on work he had done previously. It is very clear that this team takes pride in their work. I would highly highly recommend Infinite Comfort!

Harry and his team did a beautiful job updating my kitchen.  Project started and finished on schedule and total cost did not stray far from original estimate.  I am very pleased with the final result and highly recommend Harry, who is a skilled craftsman.

never heard from them, so we found a contractors worker who was willing to do it for us that same day and he got a big Christmas gift as well.

Had a clog in my bathroom that was causing a backup into my shower. My condo building suggested a plumber who took over 24hrs to come take a look, they over complicated the issue and wanted to charge an exorbitant amount of money. Called Magic Drain to get a 2nd opinion, Mike was here within 20 minutes on a Saturday night, snaked the shower and had the issue resolved in an hour and for a much more fair price. Would definitely use again.

My entire family lives in the neighborhood and has been using RJ Wellbrock Plumbing for years.  We trust them completely and know we are being taken care of and will receive the best service. I recently purchased an apartment and the fixtures that were in the bathroom tub from the previous owner were a nightmare - outdated, and constantly leaking to the point where it was damaging the tub. Doug and his team were able to locate the hardware needed to replace everything and fix the leak - it works perfectly and looks brand new!  So happy I reached out to them for this and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Have called Arch Plumbing twice now.  The first time for a major shower repair,; second time a clogged line and leaking pipes in my kitchen.  They spotted the problem(s) quickly, repaired, cleaned up (spotlessly) with extremely reasonable charge.  No recurring problems.

Got the referral from my local plumbing supply store.  Guess that was a good sign.

Skilled, Respectful and Fast! A leak that needed immediate attention was resolved in 20 minutes when a licensed plumber from Ariel Services showed up at my apartment door and fixed the problem right away.  I called them on referral from a friend and am very grateful that I did! I highly recommend them; no job is too small or too big.

This process is still ongoing. I called the company several weeks ago. The estimator showed quite late, after follow-up phone calls, on 8/13/16 and gave a price of $350 for one unit Kohler San Souci Touchless Comfort toilet replacement. When the toilet arrived on 8/18/16.  I made contact with them and they arranged the installation date on 8/22/16. They told me that the price is $450. I challenged the quote because I was told it was $350. Since I already invested time and energy I went along with it. Yesterday and today 8/22/16, I spent a lot of preparation to clear the hallway as well as the bathroom, as well as cleaning the toilet. I called at 8:30 AM today to confirm the promised arrival time between 10 and 2. The person told me that he wasn't sure about the time. I called  at about 2 and he told me that he can't make it today. I stayed home to meet with the installer and that means no income since I'm an independent consultant at 70. However, on their side they didn't lose money. I was told that they will try to do it tomorrow 8/23/16. I asked what time. He told me to call at 8:30AM otherwise I guess they will not call me. It sounds like it's their usual business practice. They were not really apologetic about the inconvenience they have caused. Let's see what the customer's experience will be tomorrow.

Addition:
Unfortunately, when I called exactly at 8:30 AM Mike, after a long pause,  told me that it could be scheduled in the afternoon. I was able to find another plumber who did the installation with COI the same day.

I called this company and it's a scam. They sent a so called repair person who didn't fix my leaking fridge he just took a blow dryer and melted ice. He came up with so many scenarios and at the end my fridge kept leaking. Their number is a Google number that changes and they told me to make a payment electronically on square space. Also promised me a 6month warranty. Obviously when I called they went MIA.!!!!!! Please do not fall for these scammers. They go by Gotham appliances or K.A.R. Check out the pictures of the repair guy he goes by the name Vicky. Now if they comment they will most likely say we don't know the guy (of course they will)....

Call these people if you want to get completely ripped off.
My tenant has called Roto Rooter because dishwasher didn't drain water, and the water was leaking.  The fix on the invoice was kitchen sink drain stopper clean.  Three trips.  Replaced the 2 Elbow waste pipe for kitchen.  For this, they have charged her $200 for parts and $732 for labor.  First, an elbow pipe cost $20 max, so that should have been $40 at most.  The job lasted an hour and 20 min, counting the time he had gone to park his car and to retrieve tools, which was treated as three trips on the invoice.  My tenant is a young woman with no knowledge of plumbing and has signed off on this without checking with me first.  When I called them, and spoke with the manager on this blatant abuse of pricing, his response was that this is their price and the tenant was willing to pay this.  Yes, I understand that they are free to quote whatever price they want to, and it was my tenant's own fault to get ripped off for not checking with other companies.  However, it is completely dishonest to take advantage of someone just because they didn't know what the going rate is for the type of service performed.  This job should not have cost more than $400 by a licensed plumber, and I'm counting higher because it is NYC.  For a similar job, I have paid $200 elsewhere.
I'm giving them 1 star because at least, the job was done correctly and the problem is solved. But Roto Rooter is never getting my business again.
