Best Businesses in New York, NY

Peter is fantastic! Very responsive and he got the job done quickly for a great price. He's very kind as well--I'll definitely call on him the next time we need a project done! If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks Peter!

Toilet clogged on a weekend. Made price inquiry and received a response almost instantly. The gentlemen quoted a reasonable price, came and did the work very professionally and efficiently. Best part was that it was clean!

Highly recommend!

Third time using Continental Plumbing and Heating and it doesn't get any better. They replaced a steam boiler and their skilled level is unbelievable. The Inspecter from Newark even commented how well they did installing the boiler. They are professional throughout the entire process and always dependable. Edmundo and Mercedes are fantastic to work with. Always respectful, fair with their pricing and their crew have great pride in their work. Thanks Again Continental Plumbing and Heating !

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 called because water was pouring out of my drains in the basement. I wasn't quite sure what was going on, but I am not a person who is skilled in plumbing. I reached out based upon all days, reviews, and yelp. They responded within two hours, they located the problem within the trap for the house, fixed it quickly, and we're on their way And it only cost me $225. Did I mention that this was the day before Thanksgiving? I recommend them highly.

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!

I moved into a condo in Williamsburg, that needed a ton of odd-jobs completed. Michael came quickly to my aid, and completed everything from hanging things on walls, to plumbing and electrical issues. He provided his COI to the building, which was required and couldn't be a nicer guy!  I will be calling again for any task!

I agree with the above poster.  They don't seem to want the business.  I have called 3 or 4 times since Friday and when they finally got back to me with a time it one that didn't work for me - and instead of trying to figure something out while on the phone - all I got was that's they appointment time, someone will call you back.  I called another plumber and they already came today.

Truly top class service!

I called Brooklyn's Best AC with every intent of spending a large sum of money to have an A/C unit installed. Having understood the specifics of my situation, Joe graciously explained that under similar circumstances people had found portable units to works best. He offered to install this for me, but also told me I could likely save money by watching some simple how-to videos.

It's not often you find a business that puts the customer first to the point of actively explaining how they can cheaply and easily do something themselves.

So while I can't speak to their installation services, I can speak to the exceptional way they will treat you and ensure you get the best solution for what you need.

Thanks!

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.

Wow.  I don't really know how to explain how positive our experience with Fabio from Infinite Comfort was today.  We are very, very happy with the service and price we received and we recommend Infinite Comfort to anyone who need HVAC work done.

Our Carrier central A/C unit is almost 20 years old (we're its third owner).  We have lived here for 7 1/2 years and haven't serviced the unit at all (a mistake we will not continue!)  The unit started making terrible noises in the evening five days ago, and then just stopped working later that night.  It was a hot stretch, so I quickly did online research, made a few calls and had a service guy from a well-regarded company over to help us the next day.  He spent a lot of time back and forth in and out of the house, explained a lot about the components of a central A/C system and how they work, and then told me our options.  He said the unit was old (1999) and beyond the normal lifespan of such things.  He said for sure our fan motor was bad, there might be a compressor issues he couldn't figure out right then, some bad electricals and possibly a clogged TXV down near the evaporation coils.  He said we could use trial and error to replace parts in sequence over time to see which repair might fix the problem, but it would be expensive (as parts for old machine can be), time consuming and still not identify what if any repair might be the one or how long that repair would hold up on an old unit like this.  The Internet told us that on average A/C unit last 10-15 years, so we decided to get estimates on replacement.

While waiting for our repair guy's company to send its replacement estimate I made appointments with a few others to come quote us prices.  Fabio from Infinite Comfort was the first to arrive. He inspected our system, answered some questions about ducts, vents and airflow, and explained some add-on options we might want with the replacement (e.g., a better air filter unit, new humidifier, etc.).  He then asked if we wanted him to check out our current unit just to see if he could figure out why it wasn't working.

He spent about 5-10 minutes pulling the unit apart and reconnecting all the parts the service guy had left disconnected.  He tested a few things and told us the unit itself was older, but was a Cadillac.  He said it needed a cleaning, but that he thought the only thing wrong with it was a bad fan motor, which he had on his truck.  He a said no guarantees, but he was pretty sure that would fix it.  About $600 rather than thousands. We said do it!  About 5 minutes into that work, and Fabio came back in to tell us it wasn't the motor but rather than fan blade that was broken and that's why it wasn't turning or cooling the compressor properly.  He called a local supply house, but it was after noon on a Saturday so they were closed.  So Fabio studied the fan blade again for a minute, took it out to his truck, and FIXED the stupid thing!!!  He said this old unit was high end when it was purchased, and was still durable for years if it was re-charged a bit and then maintained. So overall Fabio repaired our unit fan, he cleaned the filters and the unit itself, put about 3 1/2 lbs of freon in it (the older R-22, which he had on his truck) and added a leak sealant to the system because it took more Freon than he was expecting and we back online!!

Now we have a functioning A/C that has been cleaned and re-charged for the first time in who-knows-how long for about $700, instead of spending what was looking like $4,000 - $7,000 for a new unit sometime (hopefully) in the next month!!  

You pray that you can find contractors and technicians that know what they're doing and treat you fairly.  Sometimes you find them. Sometimes you don't.  Fabio and Infinite Comfort are exactly that. If this unit ever does give out on us, they will have the replacement business from us without hesitation.  If for some reason our unit completely fails in the next year, Infinite Comfort will give us 50% of today's bill as a credit towards any replacement we do through them.

After losing the the supports under our deck to a mixture of dampness and carpenter ants I contacted Harry for some help. The top of the deck was made of teak and was still in good condition. Harry was able to expertly rebuild the supports to the original size and and re install the wood on the top. Harry was professional and my backyard was spotless when he left. I would absolutely recommend Harry to anyone looking for a great contractor.

Had issues with my sewer. Adonis arrived and took care of the situation and explained everything from the beginning. It was pretty seamless. I will definitely use the service for anything that arise in the future.

You can't ask for a better more professional plumber.  I have had Mike do two jobs at my house.  One was a drain clearing and another was to install a water line.  He was super responsive and professional and does great work.  He was able to come at short notice and his prices were incredibly reasonable.  I would 100% recommend Magic Drain for any of your plumbing needs.

Had them install new boiler They put circulator in wrong called 4 times to correct.Has left my basement without heat for 2months. Basement is finished and is my daughters bedroom .Do not  use

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.

Great service. Quick fix and friendly. Had to wait a few hours for them to turn up (thus the 4-stars) but otherwise great and I didn't feel too ripped off, as I have in the past when using emergency plumbers.

Don't waste your time.  you'll make an appointment, they won't come. So you reschedule, they won't come again. They promise you the moon and deliver you nothing!

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.
