Best Businesses in New York

Peter was amazing!  I reached out late one night, heard back within 30 mins, and he was here the next afternoon to do the work.  Will definitely be reaching out again for any jobs around the house!

Dorjan installed a new faucet in our bathroom. He was very responsive, on time and completed the job quickly and cleanly. Would highly recommend.

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!

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!

We moved into a new home in Nassau County a few months ago, and the other night our hot water stopped working, so we went down to the basement and saw a big puddle of water in front of our hot water tank. Uh oh! We called a couple plumbers in our neighborhood but they were not very responsive or said they couldn't get in for a couple days, but All Day Plumbing said they could get someone there at 8am the next day, and their prices were competitive with what the other guys were quoting, so we said okay. They gave us three quotes for different models of hot water tanks and we chose the one we liked the best (AO Smith 50 gallon).

The next day Ozzie (the tech) showed up right on time and got to work. He was super professional the whole time and had a mask and was careful to keep a good social distance at all times, which we appreciated. He also really took the time to make sure he got everything right, replacing the hot water tank, getting all the lines connected right, replacing the expansion tank and making sure it was properly pressurized, he even fixed a couple things that the last plumber left behind, and confirmed that we were getting good and hot water coming out of all our taps and faucets before he left.  Really an A+ job.

He also said we should get our boiler looked at to make sure it didn't have any issues, and the next day Kenny came to look at our boiler. He noted a couple things we could do in terms of routine maintenance but said the boiler was operating fine and didn't need to be replaced. What a relief! Whenever you start a new vendor relationship there's always a worry about whether they're going to recommend what's most profitable for them (and most expensive for you), but that totally wasn't the case with Kenny, we felt like he just wanted to do the best job. Super professional all around.

My sense is that the guys at All Day Plumbing are eager to earn business and get repeat customers, and they've definitely got that with us.  If we have any issues in the future we know we can count on them.

I needed my AC installed. Boris and Tseren did it quickly and very well! They were very kind and patient as well. Definitely recommend hiring them!

Such a great job! Michael installed my whole closet from ikea. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!

I had a leaky in my ceiling and called S & B and received a speedy response. Steve was able to come the next day and ascertain that the leak was not a plumbing,  but rather, caulking problem. He was so kind and honest. I will definitely call them next time I have any plumbing related issues!!

BBAC was super responsive to my email requesting a quote.  I reached out to 4 other AC installers in the area for quotes : 2 told me they were booked out for weeks and weren't taking any more appointments; and 1 was cheaper but didn't appear as thorough or professional as BBAC.

Joe was super patient.  The first time he arrived to do the job.  His first question (looking at my unopened AC box) was 'did you try it.'   It was then I learnt that you should never buy an AC online and have it delivered by a shipping service to your house.  Joe opened the box and plugged in the brand new AC - only for us to hear clicking and banging.  Turns out that was the compressor that got damaged in transit.  I would have never known that was an issue - and I later read a bunch of reviews online and found several people had that same issue.  Then there was the 5 year old AC in my bedroom that I didn't realize was wasting my energy and barely cooling my room down - I knew it sort of wasn't working.  But Joe took one look at it with me - and was able to identify my compressor issue.  Quite frankly - I didn't know what a compressor was until he showed up.  

BBAC does sell ACs for installation - and the pricing was comparable to retail.  They just didn't have the model I wanted. It would have been less hassle for me to buy direct from them as they bring the AC and install it.  

A few weeks later after getting two new ACs- I messaged BBAC and they came a few days later to do the installation.  Joe came again and brought an assistant.  To remove and install two window ACs they were in my apt for just under an hour.  The team was highly efficient and super professional.  They came within the agreed upon window, brought blankets to protect my floors and a table saw to cut the plexiglass.  The two men worked in seamless coordination and were a pleasure to have in my home.  After completing the job - they cleaned up carefully and removed everything they brought in.  

I've had friends over and have looked at the installation and have commented how neat it is.  There is caulking a sealant around the window.  I know for sure that this winter cold  air will not be coming into my apt.  I'm super happy I decided to pay professionals to come and install my AC.  I can totally tell the difference between the job compared to my super or a guy friend installing for me.

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.

Our AC was having issues, and they were able to send someone within an hour, which was definitely appreciated. We have 2 units. One unit didn't turn on that day when we got back home (which was the reason we made the service call). We figured that while the tech was here, we would have him also look at the 2nd unit too, which hadn't been cooling well over the past week or so.

The tech was able to instantly diagnose the problem of the first unit. Someone had turned off the switch! Not sure how I didn't think to check that.

Now the reason that I'm taking off a few stars is that the tech seemed to be trying to oversell me for the repair of the 2nd unit. Now I'm not AC expert, so maybe the proposed solutions were legitimate, but based on my online research this did seem to be excessive. He was basically saying that my unit was not cooling well because I did not have a TXV installed. I questioned why it had been cooling perfectly the past 3 years despite having no TXV, and he was unable to provide a good answer. Also keep in mind that the bill to repair this is over $2K, so I think that a proper explanation is justified. After the tech left, I researched this and found that the TXV is meant to improve the efficiency ONLY, so I am very doubtful that this was causing my problem (again, I am not expert).

I probably would've given 2 stars, but they did only charge me for 1 service call (he told me that he technically can charge me for 2 calls because I had them look at 2 units)

Harry was referred by window company and highly recommended. He is Lighting fast on the job and is a constant burst of energy all the time. He does not stop moving unless the job is done. He does have an secretary that pick up his calls and help organize his calendar and ect. So that was a very nice feature to have when i was dealing with him.

Harry help me install a storm door in a metal frame with concrete filling so it was not a easy job. we had him build a pvc frame for the storm door. concrete saddle and marble tiles. it was not cheap but completely worth it. the finish came out perfect and exactly what we was looking for. me and my wife could not be more happier with the job harry and his team delivered. My wife is a architecture and was impress with harry excellent carpenter skills and detail to perfection.

Would Highly Recommend Harry in his carpenter techniques, Very honest, trust worthy contractor, and with fair price quotes.

I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had a clogged toilet fiasco and legit thought I was gonna break my arm trying to unclog it. I reached out to them and Samantha was nothing but professional and accommodating. They really came through on a Sunday when everyone else was closed and/or unresponsive. Adonis showed up at scheduled time with his muscle and auger and went to work! Lol Problem solved! I can't recommend them enough.

I used Magic Drain on two separate occasions.

Mike came for a free estimate each time. He is very knowledgeable and pointed out defects of plumbing for the house. He suggested the most cost effective method of making the repairs.

First job was 4/20/2020, I was expecting a delivery of a fridge which required a shutoff valve to be installed on the water line. Mike gave an estimate and completed the job same day. Mike also educated me on where the line attaches to and where the main shutoff is in case there are future issues.

Second job was 8/26/2020, my kitchen drain was clogged/slow. He gave a quick estimate and completed it next day. He was careful to catch any water and brought a mat to prevent any damage or skills.

Highly recommended! He also runs a junk removal company I've used recently.

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.

Let me start this review by empathizing with John S. and David A.

They are very curt on the phone.  True.
They take a long time to get to you True.  

They were also my only option and it worked out ok for me.  I did have to wait for about 3 hours for them to get to my place.  I called a few times and got a run around.  Understand that I had no choice, my bathtub would not drain at all.  Yuck.

When they got to my place, the plumbers were very nice and apologized for being so late.  They also got right to work.  It turned out to be a big problem and they investigated it fully.  They saw that it was turning into a building-wide issue and they stopped and got the super of my building.  They helped me itemize the bill so that I wouldn't be stuck holding the bag for common charges.  They tried everything they could (it is a much bigger problem).  

For that consideration, I give them 3 Stars.  I probably would have been harsher on them but, so many places around me either (a) no longer in business or (b) not answering their phones.

After coming back to redo a repair on a simple shower valve stem we were told they needed to tear down a wall. Building super intervened and stopped that nonsense.

Rescheduled and fixed problem ... For a few weeks. Oh, we didn't pay?? ... oh, you do have our credit card. Hmmm, put it through like we told you when we gave it to you. Ah, good. Reschedule. And no show. Reschedule. And no show. 3rd time they called (half hour after the 3 hour appointment time slot) and said ... wait for it ... Have to reschedule.

Do they only work with the unemployed who have nothing to do but hang around waiting for them?  Jeeze I couldn't recommend this place if your pipes burst and they were moored in the hallway with an Ark.

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.
