Best Businesses in New York, NY

We had a live wire in our house that needed immediate attention and Peter was able to come by in just a few hours and repair what was needed to be fixed quickly and professionally. He's a very nice man who clearly knows what he's doing. I would recommend him as a handy man and jack of all trades to anyone. Thanks Peter!!

I can't comment on the service itself. They promptly came to diagnose the issue and provided an estimate to repair. But when I heard it would cost $500 to repair my toilet, something felt amiss.

I got a second opinion. The part that needed replacing cost $15, and the service to replace it another $80-100, if that -- it's literally a 15 minute job. So I went with someone else for the job.

Obviously it's their choice what to charge and your choice who to go with. I'm sure they're very capable and can fix your plumbing issues. But do yourself a favor and do a little research before getting overcharged for simple fixes.

Two gentlemen came to replace my 75 gallon hot water tank with a 50 gallon today (located in a closet on the top floor of my townhouse). Both men wore masks the entire time, which I appreciate very much. The first thing they did was drape my creme carpeted stairs with an anti-slip drop cloth. They completed the job within the estimated timeframe and cleaned up after themselves. The lady who handled the scheduling and billing, as well as all of my questions, was very responsive on the phone, via text and email, and professional. Would definitely recommend them!

Andy's Plumbing & Drain Services were incredible. They will be the only one I call for my plumbing needs in the future. Reasonably priced, professional, courteous, and most of all the work speaks for itself. If you are looking for a plumber in Brooklyn (or anywhere else they serve) I would 100% recommend hiring them. Thank you!

Was having trouble with my sump pump after recent heavy rain. They easily troubleshooted it was just the valve and not the whole unit. Had valve replaced in under an hour. Very professional and courteous staff member. Asked about other future plumbing issues and he answered all my questions. I will definitely be using them in the future. Price was in line and addressed my issue in quick time frame. Very happy about the whole experience. I would recommend them to family and friends.

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!

I had my 9 year old Rheem water heater replaced by S & B Plumbing with a 50 gallon Bradford White water heater. The removal of my old one and installation of the new one couldn't have gone smoother. I would highly recommend using S & B Plumbing for any of your plumbing/water heater needs!

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!**

Have been using Patriot Plumbing for over 10 yrs and never had any issues . Sal and his staff are professional , responsive and you will get quality workmanship  . Sal will stand by his work no matter how small or large the job is . I highly recommend Plumbing for all your plumbing needs !

Our Nest abruptly stopped working and therefore so did our heat.  They are open 24 hours and so I was able to call book a technician the following day, meanwhile the owner helped us troubleshoot and eventually resolve the issue on our own!  Family owned, very helpful and professional. We will be using these guys again!

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

Guys don't look any further for your plumbing leaks.
Mike knows the stuff snd does a perfect job...

I don't know what John D. is talking about; I suppose nobody's perfect.  But I've been using Wellbrock for eight years and they always treat me fairly, are responsive, and do great work.  It's really nice to have a local, reliable plumber--Doug and Co. fit the bill.

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.

I called Thursday morning before 10am as my Kitchen sink needed to be checked out. I told them it was urgent. They assured me someone would come today, or if not today then Friday latest. Called back to check Thursday 2pm when no one had arrived or called to say they were coming. They said it will definitely be Friday. Friday comes, again I sat at home all day waiting. At 1pm I called to confirm they would come today. THEY SAID YES DEFINITELY. Received a call at 3pm Friday saying no one would come until Monday. APPALLING!! NOW GOING 4 DAYS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE A KITCHEN SINK

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.
