Best Businesses in New York

I needed to have a pipe replaced under my kitchen sink. I called several plumbing businesses. Jimmy from 718 called back within ten minutes. His techs were booked for that day, but he said if I wanted service that day, he would find a way to get one to my house. I told him it was not an emergency, and he booked an appointment for the next morning. The tech, Rich, arrived on time. He assessed the job and quoted a very reasonable price. He did the job efficiently and thoroughly. He was pleasant and answered all my questions.  I now have a place to call with confidence for any subsequent plumbing issues. Thanks again.

Had a sewer line clog and Safeway was there in less than 2 hours to help fix the issue. Great service, great price, and very friendly. Will 100% use again.

I called Mike of thesewerguyinc.com aka L & C Sewers and Drains late in the morning a couple of days ago. I had already hired two different plumbers who had tried and failed to clear a sewage line from a kitchen sink, and dealt with two other plumbers who strung me along and then dropped me before ever showing up so I was getting pretty stressed out.  Mike and I talked briefly about the problem and he told me he'd get someone over there in the early afternoon, and that he felt confident that his guy Giovanni would succeed where others had failed.  Because of some challenges his guy had at the first job, he ended up coming later than expected, but there was pretty good communication, so it wasn't such a big deal. Mike ended up coming with the other guy Giovanni and with an arsenal of plumbing snakes, cameras, and other tools to get the job done. After a couple of unsuccessful first attempts to clear the line, he told me that he was the best person for the job because he was committed to figuring out a solution, and that he wouldn't give up until he succeeded. After four false starts with other plumbers, I loved hearing that!  He suggested several possible last resort measures he could take but ended up going with something much less costly and that didn't require opening any walls. He charged me a reasonable fee, was very pleasant to deal with, and cleaned up well before he left. I recommend this business 100%. I feel so glad to have found them.

I highly recommend Tom's plumbing. He discovered a hidden leak in the basement. If you want reliable, trustworthy, and quality service, Do consider Tom. His expertise literally saved me thousands in water and sewage cost !

My heater was making a loud banging noise due to a bad expansion tank and air valve. Bruno quickly identified the issue and replaced the items the next day. Quick and efficient, I would definitely recommend his services.

The faucet in my tub was spouting water while the shower was running.  It was a problem I had before.  I called and spoke to John and we arranged an appointment for the next day.  Angelo came and after he removed the knobs and probed inside the wall, he told me he could fix it but not completely stop some of the water dripping out of the faucet without pulling out tiles to replace the fitting from the knob into the connecting pipe along with the piece that connects them.  He was spot on as that was the advice I got when this happened once before some years ago.  Needless to say these are old fittings and since I can't get the tiles that would match the rest of the tiles in the tub area, I opted to have him correct the problem which he did.  The faucet still drops a little, but it very, very slight and much better than before.  Angelo arrived on time, was very polite, took off his shoes and was sure to ask if I could put something down in the tub before he stepped into it to do the work, which I did.  The last plumber I had just stepped into my tub with dirty shoes.  I really appreciate this kind of work and would no doubt call Hub again should I ever need any kind of plumbing work.

A pressure valve on our boiler tripped, which resulted in a couple of inches of water pouring out onto our cellar floor.  I was able to close down the intake valve myself, stopping the flow, but now our furnace was disabled and that pressure valve needed to be replaced.  After talking it through with them on a 2 am call, we agreed that with the situation stabilized, repairing the furnace could wait until the next day.  He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and efficient and after finishing the repair, suggested a couple of possible upgrades to our system that could wait until the weather was warm enough to shut down the furnace.  Would definitely use again.

My bathroom faucet needed to be replaced and they were very efficient and responded to my service request quickly. I would definitely recommend them for any plumbing needs and I would definitely use them again in the future.

I was looking for a plumber who could replace my Weil McLean Cga-4 boiler from 1970's. I started looking at old yellow pages from 2007 to find a reputable heating contractor. I studied a lot of reviews of different contactors. I read a lot of negative reviews for other contractors. I called a few contactors and they all gave me a estimate from $4800 to $12,000. The cost of the Weil Mclean cga-5 is about $2000 for just the boiler. I was tempted to do some of the work myself to save money but decided against it since it was November already. Anyways ,I called and Fred the owner came out to give me estimate(he is an early bird,so he came like 7 am) . He gave me an estimate in low 6000. I did not find any bad reviews about this company however for someone who has been in business for a long time they did not have too many reviews which made me nervous. I took a chance and signed a contract. Fred did not negotiate even though I told him I got a lower estimate from another contactor. The crew of 3 persons came out and started work. They played out paper on the floor so when they removed the old boiler the soot doesn't ruin the carpet. Within 1/2 hour they had the boiler out of the basement. Before I even noticed they had the new boiler in. They were pretty professional. The main guy doing the work was very knowledgeable. Fred stopped to check and look at the work. Overall very professional. 4 Stars because the price is take it or leave it. The work is Good. Crew is professional. They were done by 2:30 pm I did have one issue after they left and when I called Fred they quickly came back and resolved it. Overall I recommend their work. They stand by their work and they know what they are doing.

So, I smelled gas on New Years Eve. That messed up my plans, the energy company had to shut off my gas. This company responded to my online request and arrived early New Years Day. They fixed the problem quickly and cleanly. Explained all I needed to know. And their price was reasonable.

I had an issue with installing a bidet toilet seat because our bathroom setup was irregular. GG Plumbing suggested the part that would fix the issue. This was after I already tried to ask many other plumbing companies for solutions to no avail. I even went to a plumbing supply store but that didn't help either. Thanks to GG Plumbing, I was able to install the toilet seat with minimum cost. Even though I didn't need for GG to come help, his quoted price was also much more reasonable than the other plumbing companies I reached out to.

We recently had an issue with needing a sign-off and he responded immediately.  

He has a master plumber license and that means he can get things done directly with Department of Buildings.  Uptown property owners needing to find a good plumber should seek him out.

Kris was super responsive and completed a really big job in an hour. I had sewage issues, clogging issues, pipe problems, and I really feel like he saved my life. As a single mom, being a home owner can be very intimidating, it was so refreshing to have him come and explain things to me so that I am empowered and knowledgeable about my home and plumbing situation. He was also pleasant, and patient with me and my dog who hates strangers. You will not be disappointed calling MKC!

Excellent customer service. Excellent work for both residential and commercial.  I've been referring customers and using them for our co-op and our families homes for years. Truly a credit to the plumbing profession.  Very reliable and affordable.

I've used Waterhouse twice when my old 1920s bathroom had issues that I couldn't resolve on my own. When you need a plumber, it's always an emergency, and they respond in a timely manner, and once they even came on the weekend. They care about doing good work, and have even replaced old valves in my apartment that are clearly above and beyond the scope of the work that I had called them out for.

When you look for people to service aspects of your home, you never know who's going to be good and who you can trust, but I've found my plumber!

I had a very bad experience with them. My wife called them to remove our drain from the tub, something very simple for a plumber. They told us on the phone that its $85 for the call and if additional services needed, the guy would tell us in advance. The guy came and it took him about 15 minutes of work to complete the job. Only then, I was told that the job would cost $320!!!
I later found out that this did not even include taxes and they actually billed us $348!! That was after he completed the job and not before like I was told.
Needless to say, my wife and I felt completely manipulated by these people. Quite a trick they have. I would have never agree to pay that much if I knew at the beginning that this would be the cost.

I had a guy that was willing to do the job for a $100, flat. I should have gone with him.

I hope my story will be a warning for the rest of you.

I thought there was a leak in my bathroom sink. Rusty made a free in-person consultation and concluded that it was most likely condensation. I appreciate his honesty since he could very well have charged me for unnecessary work.

If and when I do need a plumber, I'll be calling him. He was very courteous and professional.

We had a plumbing emergency and these folks couldn't have come faster or provided better service.

Friendly, helpful and affordable!

Great all-around. They quickly replied to my Yelp message, request video of the problem (a faulty tub/shower water diverted) and were at my house within about 12 hours to fix it.

The did the job quickly, cleanly and at a very fair price.

We had an appointment window of 11a to 3p and called repeatedly, someone shows up at 8p.  We called to have a bathroom faucet replace and they wouldn't give any pricing over the phone - said we would get it on site. When the plumber got here, he quoted us $450 and said it was a 30 minute job. This is outrageous pricing for 30 minutes or work (in addition to all of the extra waiting time). We said no way and sent them away.
