Best Businesses in New York

I've known and used Brendan for many years. Always honest and reliable. I've always recommended him to friends without disappointment

the service men that came  helped clean my wife's pipes and did a great job! Not to mention the awesome tacos!

Mark's was wonderful! Previous to contacting Marks I was trying to figure out why my basement kept having puddles. I figured out it was the pressure relief valve that needed replacing. Mary was very friendly and kept great contact with me to let me know when they'd be able to be out to help. They were swiftly in and out along with affordable pricing. I'm so happy I found Marks Plumbing!

Vacinek installed a new furnace, top of the line, a new water tank and I had the ducts cleaned.  My biggest complaint was for the duct work.  I had called before the appointment to find out what it would entail.  I was told they would call me back because she did not have an answer.  On the day of, the men spent about  12 minutes upstairs with the  vents but I a pretty sure that the ones that were nailed into the wall were never touched.  Those that were open, had dust and other particles all over the floor and surroundings.  I spent a lot of time vacuuming and cleaning up the mess.  Just before they left, the men said that I did not have to clean up the dust bunnies, I kept my mouth shut because there is no way, they would have noticed the dust under my bed covers, inside my curtains, on my book shelf and I knew that I would be the only one to get it done the way it was before they started the cleaning.  Had I been told that a mess was going to be made, I would have put plastic down.Towards the end of the day, I heard the machine in the basement for about 10 minutes.
I had done my research and even had friends show and explain to me what Vacinek had done in their house.  I also had prices and for the $500 I paid, I feel I was ripped off. Friends paid $200 a year earlier and had the work done for more than 3 hrs. When I called to question, I was told that each house is different and in comparison to my house, mine is much smaller than my friends.  The owner told me he would have one of the guys call me about the job.  I did get a call and they said they spent at least 90 minutes cleaning the vents.  There is no way, the machine they use is very loud. I was in the house, I would have known. I was also told they have a new way of cleaning that is much faster.  Well if it is much faster, why so expensive?  I was told they put a filter in and run it through the filter. Another question, did they use mine? because I am missing one.

There is no way I was going to win on this one and I feel I was taken advantage of. No deal was offered even though I bought their most expensive furnace and had the new water heater installed. Unlike the coupons they have for install ac and get a furnace for $1000

While I have no idea about  how the furnace runs, I will have to wait and see.  

I will say, that rust was left on my driveway, which I spent time, scrubbing and there was a mess left out on my porch and yard from concrete they had used.

I was very pleased with my services.  I contacted Jeff in the morning and he was able to come to my house that afternoon.  He worked quickly, had all the necessary equipment with him, and was very reasonably priced.  I will recommend him highly.  - Thanks Jeff!

Honest, efficient work, couldn't be more pleased. They solved four separate issues in a little over and hour at a fair price, will never call anyone else.

I have used him for4 or 5 jobs over the past 6 years I believe. iFirst  time was a new hot water heater, did within a 2 or 3 days took a couple of hours. Called him in on sump pumps replaced quickly. Whenever I have called he has come within 2 or 3 days. Recently just to do simple maintainece on a different hot water heater. while there he explained to me how this sump pump neeeded to be redone explained how to do it. I have the skills but I'm getting lazy so probably will have him do it. did one or two simple tasks. entire process done in less than an hour. The other things is he as told me about somethings and said I could do the work, explained what needed to be done, and said I could save his labor fee . Do not often find a skilled plumber that will recommend not doing the job themselves.

After feeling the humidity going sky high and my thermostat reading 75°
I noticed my carpet in spare room was wet, so I opened the furnace room panel and it was all wet and dripping on the floor into the room next to it. The guy who serviced it last did a bad solder job so they finally fixed it 2 days ago. 4 different ppl have worked on it! If it leaks again and my carpet gets moldy  I'm gonna get a new carpet at their expense

just found out that he installed my surround shower very badly.I had leaks and tried to recaulk only to pull pieces of wood that was used to seal up space.Really bad job that will have to be totally redone.I didn't notice until two years later when i went to recaulk.

Can't speak highly enough of the thorough, professional service I received from Joe at Kandefer.   We had a gas leak in basement and our gas was shut off. Matthew Kandefer was able to send out a plumber, take the time to find 4 small leaks and not charge an arm and a leg.  
They cared and that really impressed me. Thank you.

This business has fallen to complacency. The salesmen are condescending and rude. I don't have time for their self-entitlement and have removed them from our vendor list.

Took snowblower in for new paddles. $200 worth of work done without my approval only to have the blower never work after work because motor was shot. Would never have put that much money into an older blower. Asked them to refund part or all of costs and never got back to me. I make it a point to support small businesses but will never return here. I would have put that $200 towards a new blower instead of putting it into old one had they just called for pre approval.
