A Leak showed up in the ceiling downstairs, we had no idea where it was coming from. Our insurance send another plumbing company who tried to make the issue bigger than it was to make a profit. They didn't even located the source of the leak.  The insurance company realized they were dishonest, denied their claim and called A1 construction instead. I was so happy with A1 construction. He was honest, professional, friendly and he knew what he was doing. He located the source of our leak and fixed the problem on the same day and in no time. Book A1 construction, you would not regret it.

Dorjan was amazing! He was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and charged a very fair price. We will be calling him for all of our pipe and plumbing needs. He swiftly fixed an old steam pipe for us.

Our basement was flooding when we ran the washing machine because there was water coming out from under the bathtub of the bathroom on that floor. We assumed the worst but knew it was something that needed immediate resolution so called these guys the next day. They came out the same day and assessed the situation and then the boss came out and immediately figured out it was the sump pump. There were also some other things my mom (who had been hosting them) mentioned needed to be done as well. The boss wrote out the invoice/contract and the guys came the next morning to do the work and when they said they would be there at 9, they were there at 9. Every time they came and went they were always right on the dot, which already is a huge pro! I hate waiting around for people who don't show up when they said they would. Then it turned out there had been some miscommunication (you could argue fault on both sides so not blaming them AT ALL) and some more work needed to be done than originally contracted. No problem, they came out and did another work order and did the additional work that same day between other jobs. They always stayed long enough to check their work (for example, waiting for washing machine to discharge water to make sure it wasn't flooding). They were respectful, professional, and I think fairly priced. Plumbing work is never cheap but all things considered I think all the work they had to do was well worth the price. I was nervous about having to call for professional help just by looking on the internet, but as usual the internet is always right!  Just kidding, but since I did rely on other reviews to pick these guys wanted to add my own. I'll happily call these guys again next time I need them!

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!

Came out, clearly not interested in the project. Was sent by home depot to provide a quote, spent less than 5 minutes in the house and told me they wouldn't do the job unless it was bigger.

I requested a window AC installation service and received a prompt response within a few hours. Two professionals arrived at the agreed-upon time and took care of everything without my intervention. They removed my old AC unit, installed the new one, and even cleaned up after themselves. The entire process took approximately 30 minutes, and they also took away the old AC unit, relieving me of the responsibility of disposing of it.

Great job hanging a mirror on my  brick wall!!! Michael was super professional, with lots of experience. Really appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to making sure I was satisfied with the tilt of the mirror.

I would highly recommend S&B Plumbing in Hoboken. We woke up to a flooded bathroom due to a broken water heater (thank you, Friday the 13th!). Steve was at my apartment by 11:30AM to provide an estimate. Two men came shortly after to install a brand new 50 gallon unit and were completely finished by 4:00PM. The two men who did the removal and installation were very nice, respectful, and clean! They even had to hike up and down 5 flights of stairs and not once complained. Steve arrived towards the end to verify the completion of the work and manage the payments, which was very professional. The entire team was very thorough and very kind. Thank you, S&B!!

2/5 - Unfortunately I'm having to drop my original star rating. I just had another HVAC guy in here - trying to fix the noise problems that Brooklyn's Best could not - who noticed that one of my filters was not changed. We paid Brooklyn's Best $1725 to change all of our filters, not just the ones that were easiest to access or most visible. On top of the issue with the workers not even noticing the vents were closed while they were performing maintenance on them, this job really much to be desired.

**Updating this review again** 2/7 - Well, dropping a star yet again, because now this company is denying here in the public comments section of Yelp that they ever even worked with me. Rather than just admit the possibility that the guys they sent into my home (who apparently no longer even work for them, as evidenced in the attached screenshot) did a substandard job and maybe just offer to come fix the filter they didn't change, they're digging in their heels and threatening me with bad karma. Ridiculous and highly unprofessional. Screenshots attached showing a convo with them dating back to November about problems with the job, and more recently about the filters. At no point did they ask me to provide proof of service, as they've stated here publicly in the comments, but instead have just been arguing privately with me about why I don't have a right to complain about this subpar job, making excuses for it and blowing up my messages to try to bully me into increasing the star rating.**

**Updating yet again** WARNING: This company is now emailing me threatening to SUE ME. They are trying to gaslight me, but they most certainly are the people who arranged this work. I contacted them, they sent people out, then afterwards we got an invoice from a different company (Y'Air). When my husband asked about this by phone, we were given some excuse about the pandemic, insurance and paperwork. You can see Yair referenced in one of the screen shots from Brooklyn's Best. All of this work was arranged directly through Brooklyn's Best. I shrugged off the different company name at the time even though it seemed weird - but again, all of this was arranged through Brooklyn's Best. Now they are denying any involvement in the job and threatening me for defamation. This is absolutely insane and not ok behavior, and is bordering on actually being threatening and scary because I know they have my address and have been in my home. Brooklyn's Best, you cannot just bully people into five star reviews or silence. If you want good reviews, stop attacking and threatening your customers and just do a good job on the work you were hired to do!**

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.

I found this company on Yelp and after reading the reviews I reached out to them for HVAC Maintenance as my central AC wasn't working. Osvaldo and his coworker showed up on time, quickly diagnosed the issue and were able to fix the problem in under an hour. Being that I recently purchased my home he told me exactly what items I needed to get to properly maintain the units throughout the year.
He was very informative and helpful and did the job quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the service they provided and would use them again.

Harry was referred by window company and highly recommended. He is Lighting fast on the job and is a constant burst of energy all the time. He does not stop moving unless the job is done. He does have an secretary that pick up his calls and help organize his calendar and ect. So that was a very nice feature to have when i was dealing with him.

Harry help me install a storm door in a metal frame with concrete filling so it was not a easy job. we had him build a pvc frame for the storm door. concrete saddle and marble tiles. it was not cheap but completely worth it. the finish came out perfect and exactly what we was looking for. me and my wife could not be more happier with the job harry and his team delivered. My wife is a architecture and was impress with harry excellent carpenter skills and detail to perfection.

Would Highly Recommend Harry in his carpenter techniques, Very honest, trust worthy contractor, and with fair price quotes.

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

I used Magic Drain for a major clog in my toilet.  Unfortunately my 2 yr old unloaded a box of crayons and tried to unsuccessfully flush it.  This resulted in the toilet to overflow.

It was late Friday evening and I reached out to a number of vendors via Yelp.  Mike from Magic Drain responded within moments.  Fortunately the water receded and thought it would be best to have Mike stop by the following morning.

He did a great job.  He had to remove the toilet and dig out all of the crayons.  Was a tedious job but Mike was thorough.  He fixed the issue.  I also asked if he could remove my garbage disposal while he was here and he did.  Sounds easy but it involved repiping.  Mike had all the parts he needed and got that job done as well.  

I would not only recommend Mike going forward, but I will certainly be a repeating customer.  He is very professional, prompt, and does great work.  A strong recommend!!!

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.

Had a.really poor experience with ariel. I had a shower body installed by their plumber a year ago to have it fail on me this week. After calling and booking a plumber to come take a look at the issue today I was told the plumber would come this morning. After spending 7 hours at home today and 2 calls I still have no update. Really poor customer service. Where is the proactive follow up? Unreliable

I called Fred Smith plumbing for information on a toilet leak issue. I explained what was happening and (I cant remember his name) the person who answered the phone answered my questions and clarified the issue. I am waiting for my landlord to agree to fix it and I will recommend using this company. Regardless- I was so grateful for the information  so I knew what was going on.

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)....

VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!! $658.81 15  Minutes  too clear a kitchen sink corporate prices go elsewhere
