Best Businesses in New York, NY

I needed a single 8-foot curtain rod installed in my apartment and sent out a request for a quote via Yelp.

Most handymen replied to me with a quote between $120-170, but I was shocked when Peter replied give me $400.

I'll admit that I cannot verify if his work is up to par, but the exorbitant quote was insane and I did end up choosing another service provider, who did a decent job.

I don't have enough good words to say how happy and satisfied I am with the work Dorjan and DC Plumbing provided. I had sent out an inquiry to several companies for a busted water tank that was leaking water everywhere and it left me with no hot water. Dorjan responded to my inquiry within minutes and was the only one to ask questions about my tank, size, where leak was, photos, etc. I felt all his questions were very appropriate to diagnose what job needed to be done.

During our encounter I did not feel pressured/forced in any way to have him take on the work which I really appreciated. I also felt that the price he quoted me was fair to other quotes I received. Dorjan was able to come in and compete the job the very next day. Not only was he early, but was able to get the job done in 2 hours from start to finish as promised. Thank you again for having such a great attitude and calmness throughout the whole experience. You helped make this stressful situation bearable. Will definitely be using this company again in the future.

Thanks for your great service. I will recommend to others. It is hard to find people like your team on this business.

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!

I had my gas water heater replaced and All Day Plumbing is about as professional as they come. Dominic at the office was responsive and clear on quotes and appointments. Their mechanics Jason and Mo are courteous, patient and imformative. A very impressive professional experience! I will definitely keep All Day Plumbing at the top of my list for my plumbing needs.

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.

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!

We have been using S&B Plumbing for over 10 years and Steve is the best! He is honest, ethical and extremely efficient. I read some of the other reviews and one of the reasons they can be hard to reach is that they have so much work. If the job can wait then S&B is worth the wait!

I'm confused. They came and fixed my AC unit. Now I need help with my other one for the same reason and they said they would come. They didn't. I wrote a message and they responded they don't do this service. So I'm giving a review of 1 star since they no longer service AC units.

In response to you, Joe, I called prior to doing a Yelp request. I also contacted the guy who helped me last year as his number was in my phone. I'm a real person with a real home. Just being honest about my experience. If you had no one to perform the service, that's different you not doing the service. Be well.

We had some frozen pipes and Nick and Chris came promptly and got the hot water running in this old house!
It was on one of the coldest days, so I'm sure they were extremely busy, but they got the job done quickly and gave us tips on preventing the problem in the future.

I'm so glad Home Advisor led me to Infinite Comfort and Fabio. I had an HVAC issue that was diagnosed and resolved in the most conservative way possible. When that failed Fabio was reasonable to give me credit against the first job to do a more thorough inspection. Come to find that the HVAC had ran probably with out a filter with the prior tenants and led to a much needed power washing of the coils from what looked like years of cat and dog hair. After the freon was all filled up and the coils cleaned, the AC works good as new.

I will not be shopping around for any other HVAC companies anymore. Great customer service and excellent work = customer loyalty.. This company has got it down packed.

First, let me start off by saying that Harry is the most professional contractor that we've had the pleasure of working with. We hired Harry and his company to take care care of a bunch of random repairs around our home.

We had a leaky shower faucets and pipes, broken lights and light switches, landing steps that needed to be replaced, holes in walls that needed patching, boiler room valves that wouldn't close properly, a closet that needed to be repaired and a drive way that needed to be demolished and redone with a structural column that needed repairing as well.

Safe to say it was a lot of little jobs that needed to be fixed. Did I also mention that my husband and I needed this to be taken care of relatively quickly since he would be travelling to Colombia within two weeks and I would be out of state with work?

Our interactions with Harry was extremely easy-going. My husband gave him a list of issues that were mentioned previously to be fixed and Harry gave us a itemized proposal. Harry was also one of the only contractors on Yelp who actually got back to us and made time for us.

All in all the repairs were done before our travel plans. It took about a week total to fix everything and we couldn't be happier. There was about a week lead since our first walk through since he does have other clients.

Harry is fair with his pricing and does quality work. Most of all he is professional, easy to work with and extremely kind. We would definitely hire him again. There is something rare about finding someone who takes pride in their craft and even rarer that they aren't trying to take advantage of you.

Adonis and the team at Premium Sewer and Drain were so efficient, both in their communication leading up to it and the actual repair.  I'm so glad I hired them and will definitely call again next time I need some plumbing done.  

Thank you!!!

Down to earth, nice guy!! Fair price. Came and fixed problem right away!! Would highly recommend !! Thank you Mike!!

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.

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.

I read the bad reviews but since my building manager gave me this name (and I didn't know who else to call) I just thought I would give them a chance.  The service person came over and basically told me I need a new part and they don't carry them so I would have to buy my own and call them to come back again. Then he gave me a $300 bill for just showing up to take a look and not doing anything.  $300 just to come and take a look and let me know he was unable to repair it?

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)....

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.
