Best Businesses in New York, NY

If you need a plumber, this is not the company for you. Peter has some plumbing tools and may know some plumbing jargon, but a plumber he is NOT. Sadly, he won't tell you this and will waste your money and time by taking on a job he doesn't have the skill set to complete. I hired Peter to fix a leaking faucet and reattach/replace a tub spout/shower diverter. Peter did fix the leak, but the rest of the job involved extending a pipe to fit a new generic spout/diverter. No caulk. No glue. However Peter's $400 solution was to apply (and reapply) layers of caulk and glue to the existing pipe. Needless to say, after a week of repeated glue applications, I still wasn't able to use the shower (my original most pressing concern.) For the $400 spent all that I had to show for it was a leak repaired with some plumbing tape and remnants of caulk/glue now permanently stuck to my tub enamel. Save yourself the GRIEF and TRUST this review.

I called Dorjan to fix a clog in our basement apartment.  This has been a recurring problem since we bought our home.  Dorjan arrived on time and was very professional.  He went beyond what I expected by explaining what was causing the recurring problem and permanently fixed it.  Over the last 5 years I was ripped off by other plumbers that just put a bandaid on the issue.  His prices are also very reasonable.  I highly recommend hiring Dorjan for all of your plumbing needs!

I've lived in Union for almost 2 years now and I've been trying to find reliable companies for my home needs and Continental Plumbers is one of them. I've now used them a few times and they NEVER disappoint! When I call they are always very polite and actually seem to care about whatever issue I'm having. Every time I'm given a window for them to show up they are always on time. Also, the windows to arrive are reasonable, NOT like Hey someone will get to your home between 8AM - 4PM  The plumbers are always polite, know what they are doing, give great and honest suggestions and clean up when the job is complete. The last time they were here they vacuumed the area they were working in LOLOL. That was great and appreciated. Now that I have a plumbing company I can count on I just need to find a reliable landscaper, Sprinkler company and General contractor LOL! Continental is the BEST and as long as I'm a Union resident I won't be using anyone else! Thank you Continental!

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!

This review is a little late but however.....I had a drainage pipe broken that caused a  big leak in my boiler room  and I called All Day Plumbing and Heating for the job. Vish showed up at my house and explained the job in detail. Vish  is very knowledgeable and his years of experience was seen in the  way he completed with job with the help of his apprentice Elijah who was also very dedicated to getting to job done the correct way. I would definately call All Day Plumbing again they are great and reliable.

Matt was also a pleasure to talk to who scheduled the guys to come early so the job can be done, thank you for the great service that was provided.

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!

Such a great job! Michael installed my whole closet from ikea. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!

Excellent service. Steve really knows his stuff and acts with integrity and honesty. I know people who have been turning to him for over 10 years. He's a good guy and does a thorough job. Best plumber I've encountered.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars.
(Notice how this place does not have one review under 5 stars. There's a reason)

I had a PTAC unit in my apartment that needed to be replaced. I called all over the city and it was so frustrating trying to find a place who even offered this service. Had a different guy from a different company come in and say I'd need to get a custom built unit which would take longer, etc, etc. I didn't have time to waste as I had no heat in my apartment and it hadn't gone above freezing since Christmas. So I tried looking for other places.

I don't know why Brooklyn's Best AC was my last call as they are so highly rated... but it was. I spoke with Joe and it was as if I was talking to a person who was not only wanting to help, but who valued me as a potential customer.

Joe gave me a great quote, said that a custom built unit was not necessary and helped the process move quickly so that I could have heat sooner than later.

Here's the kicker. When he got to the apartment, the dog ran out and the door locked behind me. The building had given out the key to someone else, so there was no way to get back in. As I was cursing up a storm, Joe continued to calm me down. When the building couldn't help with a master key, Joe said: I used to be a locksmith. Let me see what I can do.

So he and his assistant (I don't remember his name) got me back into the apartment and finished the job within 45 minutes.

Joe is just a good person. And it reflects in his business.

Save yourself the hassle and just call Brooklyn's Best AC first.

Chris and AJ, and Sal of course, have done extensive plumbing work as part of my renovation of a kitchen and 2 bathrooms in an old building in Manhattan. They had to be creative to solve many of the problems and they were definitely up to the work. The final job they did was to install a Toto Neorest 550H toilet/bidet. They did it well and quickly.  Impressed with the quality of the work.

Great job at very reasonable price.  Fixed a broken condenser and serviced both condensers in 2 hours.  Showed up early to the appointment.  Temperature at the vent went from 70 to 63 degrees prior right before and after service.  Showed up early to the appointment too, and the ability to see the service person enroute is nice.

I would like to compliment Harry on his work ethic and responsible business practice.  I had contracted Harry's Contracting to do a woodworking job in my home.  Harry was  willing to listen to my concerns, handled situations in a superb manner and went over and beyond my expectations.  His honesty and willingness to take care of his customer and provide the best service possible is amazing.  He was with me each step of the way and is intent on customer satisfaction.  I would highly recommend Harry for all home projects.  Amazing contractor and person.  Thank you Harry!

The guys fixed the blockage professionally, we're clean and neat. I would use them again

We needed both of our outdoor faucets replaced and a pipe that had burst in the winter repaired. The owner was quick to respond to our Yelp message and was able to come the next day. He was quick, efficient, told us what he was doing along the way and even gave us some tips. Will definitely call him for any future needs!

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.

I had contacted the company for a small bathroom work in Manhattan apartment. Another company, Standard Plumbing, responded back very professionally. Very pleasant experience and recommended.

This is not the company to call if you are just a person in an apartment with a plumbing problem.  They have much bigger clients who will always come first.  If you're just one apartment they won't show up and they won't tell you and they won't care.  But they're supposed to be good for bigger, more expensive jobs.

I tried to make an appointment they told me 1230pm I said ok great....its almost 5pm and I have called and left messages and never even received a courtesy call they are running late or not showing up.very unprofessional and wouldn't wish service like this to anyone.

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.
