Best Businesses in New York, NY

Punctual, knows the job and detailed. Peter beat everyone else's price on yelp and came to my home and installed a frameless shower door for me. Very happy with the end results. A well deserved 5 star review. Thank you !

Excellent business . My project turned out to be a bit more complicated that I expected but Dorjan was able to find creative solutions to inconveniences as they arose and worked diligently under time constraints. Would definitely recommend and will personally use them again.

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!

We had to have our water heater replaced in a rush. They provided honest and reliable service. They came on time, completed the job in a timely fashion and best of all they came in with the lowest bid.
The guys were incredibly easy to work with and I highly recommend them!

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 highly recommend Steve and S&B Plumbing. My HWH started to leak and needed replacing. I called and left a message, he returned my call within 10 mins and was at my place in a couple of hours. He was able to have is team member replace the water heater the next day, he was neat and informative. Steve came by to review the work and sign off on the job.  He told me to call with any issues or questions, he was a great guy!  It was a great experience all around.

Joe and his team were prompt, polite, friendly, flexible with my challenging schedule for installing a new window AC, and informative and patient in helping me decide which size to get and which window to put it in. I'm happy with the Friedrich unit I bought from them so far, it worked well in the humidity of the last week. Definitely would hire these guys again, though hopefully I won't need to for a while. Thanks guys!

Needed a local plumber to fix a plumbing issue that I had for weeks and found Patriot Plumbing & Heating information online.  Contacted the company and spoke to Lorri who's extremely helpful and informative had provided a quick turnaround scheduled less than 24hours notices and completed the job within the hour.  I highly would recommend to all as I would definitely be utilizing them on all future projects.

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.

I needed some additional work done in my basement after I had a back-flow preventer put in, and Harry was the first person I called.  He and his partner completed the job quickly and my basement looks great!  While he was there, he even solved a (completely separate) electrical issue we were having, at no additional cost!  So awesome!

Adonis and his partner did a great job and I would absolutely recommend there services to everyone. They are very knowledgeable and were able to fix the two issues I had with my kitchen sink and toilet. Pricing was very reasonable for the amount of work performed and time taken to complete the job.

They went above and beyond as my kitchen sink needed replacing and was more problematic than initially thought. They were very diligent and took their time in removing the old faucet and did a great job as everything works and looks great now.

Thank you Premium Sewer and Drain!

We highly recommend Mike for your plumbing emergencies. He was able to help us on a Friday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. He was very courteous and professional. Thank you Mike!

The best!  Rates are a little on the high side but certainly worth it when you consider the quality.  The two plumbers who showed up were clean, careful, pleasant and professional which is important as you are letting them into your house.     I would not hesitate to recommend them for any plumbing needs you have.

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 couldn't agree with David A more. Totally rude on the phone--answer the phone with a simple Good morning, and then when I ask, Uh, is this Ariel Plumbing? they got all snippy and acted like it was the dumbest thing I could possibly have asked.

But I was willing to overlook because they said they'd be there to do the job within 45 minutes. 2 hours went by. I called. They said they'd page the plumber and he'd be over ASAP.

Another hour. Another call. Another promise.

Another hour. Another call. Another promise.

Yet another hour. Yet another call. Yet another promise.

And still another hour. And still another call. And this time, I was told that, unfortunately, they'd have to reschedule for the following day.

And then they never showed up at the appointed time. So I cancelled, much to their chagrin.

I had no idea finding a decent trustworthy plumber was so difficult in this city. This is NOT the place to start. I think Vermont P. is a fake and works for the company and put up a fake review.

I don't buy it. You shouldn't either.

I used Fred Smith Plumbing and Heating at the recommendation of the Super of my building and I'm so glad I did.  They removed an old bathroom vanity and installed a new one (and new fixtures).  The job went faster than estimated and they did a top notch job.  They even tighten a loose shower handle and kitchen faucet while they were there. Did I mention they did all of this during July 4th week?!   I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for excellent plumbers in NYC.

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.
