Best Businesses in New York

i hired Main Man Plumbing last October as i was having major water main problems.  I had 4 other companies come over and do estimates.  The salesman from Main Man was the only one of the 5 companies that i trusted from the first minute i met him. He didn't try to OVERSELL me and came across down to earth, just wanted to explain what had to be done and made it simple so i understood.  He was reasonably priced as well.  The job went exactly as planned, perfectly done. The 4 guys who worked on the job were professionals, very safety conscious and did a great job cleaning up and laying the cement afterwards.  I can truly say i would recommend Main Man Plumbing to anyone who has sewer or water main problems. 5 stars!   I've been thru hell with other contractors thru the years but this was a winning team!

Akeim is professional, knowledgeable and efficient.  When the kitchen faucet in my tenant apartment broke, from the pictures of the damage he was able to assess quickly that I needed to do a replacement instead of a repair and advised objectively on the type of faucet I should get.  Once obtained, he installed it quickly for a reasonable price.  I was very pleased with his work and look forward to working with him on future projects.

Reliable, efficient and reasonable.  Thanks to recommendations on Yelp, I called Star Cities Plumbing when I had a problem with the diverter on our shower.  Robert arrived within a week to provide a free quote (some companies charge you just to provide a quote!!!!!!) and was able to return in 2 days to carry out the job.  Could not be easier.

Had a wonderful experience with this plumbing company.
Eddie was responsive, we spoke on the phone, and I sent him photos of what needed to be done. He gave me a rough estimate that was better than another company that was recommended to me.
I didn't get to meet Eddie, but his guy Gus was great, ontime and even early. He was professional and was able to accomplish the following in a couple of hours.
-Leaking faucet with faucet replacement
-replaced bathtub spout (it was broken)
-installed my bidet
-replaced sink shut off valves.
I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Professional company that returns your call in a timely manner. Stand behind their work

Discovered leak from pipe in crawlspace.  Temporarily stopped it by shutting water supply to toilet. Called Platinum Plumbing and Peter was affable, and immediately available. He arrived right on time early in AM AND QUICKLY repaired the failed PVC joint .  He was extremely accommodating and very skilled.  I asked him to check a sound coming from toilet and he discovered malfunctioning fill valve.  He offered to come baxk same day or make a new appointment, my choice.  His price was very fair, and his immediate response and helpful attitude were refreshing. Highly recommended!!

My hot water heater had a leak from both incoming and outgoing pipes and needed a help. Guillermo was very prompt and gave me clear information about the issue. He was able come 1 hr earlier than the scheduled time, fixed the problem in about an hour. Maximo team is highly recommended.

Waited for 4 hours. Guy showed up without calling - oh, the office was supposed to call you. Wanted to charge me $275 for a job that he said would be an hour but was probably less than half of that (with no parts cost - replacing an inner tank that I had on hand). Didn't seem to know what he was doing.

I have used Colin Lee for a number of plumbing issues in my apartment. He replaced a faucet in my bathtub and in my kitchen sink and he also fixed my toilet. Colin is very responsible, very responsive and great to work with. He gives an honest assessment and his prices are great. I highly recommend him.

Thank you blaustein plumbing!

We had no heat this weekend, and my building was struggling to get a plumber to come by. I used Blaustein a while back to install some new bathroom fixtures, so I gave their number to my super without really expecting much. Thankfully our pipes weren't frozen and in less than 3 hours later our heat was fixed and my super raved to me about the fast, clean work that the mechanic did.

He might be ok for basic projects but he was terrible for us.

First, the quality of the work was only so so at best. They were supposed to do things like sand and repaint the original shutters in our house and they did a pretty terrible job to the point where it may make more sense to just replace them.

Second, he spent a lot of time asking about a second, bigger job we had rather than focusing on doing good work on the first one. If he had spent more time on the first project, maybe we would have given him the second project.

Third, he lost the key to our back door and took away doorknobs we had bought. When we told him it was gone he said his workers never saw it and it wasn't him. Then we showed him photos that the key was there when they started and gone after they worked. Suddenly his workers remembered throwing it on the floor under a pile of bags and magically they found the doorknob, after arguing with us it couldn't be them.

Fourth, he never sent us back the contract that he was supposed to sign (or provide receipts) and then he decided he wanted more money so left on a Friday--taking all of his tools--when he was supposed to return on Monday. We didn't hear from him until Tuesday night when he started arguing with us about more money. He said he was working in New Jersey, but that's not our problem and he needs to at least tell us if he will not be coming back for several days.

If you want to end up on Yelp complaining about this guy or arguing with him in a public forum, feel free to try your luck. It wasn't worth my time.

Our toilet was backed up on a Friday afternoon and with the old, problematic plumbing system in our home we new we needed serious help. The plumber arrived in  about an hour and he was excellent but it turns out we needed a more intense snake that would go through the main sewer connection. The second plumber came with the snake and dealt with a design flaw in our plumbing system that we were told couldn't be fixed. He was able to finally snake our drain properly for the first time and our plumbing has been great ever since. They were a very professional, knowledgeable team and I will definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs!

prompt, efficient, and lower rate than what I was paying with another
company who this time was not returning my calls, which turn out to
be good.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They have just about any plumbing part you can imagine in stock

Great company to work with! We had a sink and shower that had been clogged and hired Racso Plumbing and Heating for the job. They were very quick to reply to messages, offered a really affordable price, and the sink and shower were fixed very quickly! I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

I just purchased a home in North Brunswick and had major sewage issues, basement flooded the works. I literally called urgent drain and they were there that day. When the workers came they went right to work. They put the camera down my trap, snaked my line and hydro jetted it. It was hot and they was grinding. At the end before they left I found out that one of the guys that was out there grinding for like 4-5 hours was the Owner Rob. If the OWNER grinds like that, I know all his workers do. I highly recommend him. You get top quality service at fair and reasonable prices..

I called Cheap John's yesterday late afternoon and Eric showed up today as promised.  We had a nice conversation, they have lots of experience and he worked in the pouring rain as the sewer line outside was clogged.  It was a little bit more then the $59.95 they advertise but well worth it.  Still cheaper then the ridiculous estimate from the other nationally advertised chain who wanted $495 for the SAME work and offered to go down to $395 if I pay cash.  Cheap John was less than half of that.

Bought a portable dishwasher, and the device that connects to the sink didn't seem to fit my sink. I went to AE on the recommendation of a local hardware store that wasn't able to help me out.

Turns out, I wasn't doing it the right way and it did fit. They helped me out free of charge, despite the fact that I was a retail client instead of a contractor, who seem to be their typical customers. I appreciated the honesty and quick service!
