Great job by Rich. Easy to get in touch with and quick with responses. Would use him again when needed.

Gene D Plumber has fixed a broken toilet, leaking shower, and leaking sink for me over the past year. Very easy to deal with and straight-forward, they were able to come both times on short notice. Bo called up Kohler to get the parts I needed under warranty (after they were not helpful when my wife called). Highly recommend !

Richard and Brian always get the job done on time and under budget, so to speak. They are completely free of greed--they seem committed to completing their work as inexpensively as possible. They show up reliably 100% of the time. The best plumber experience I have ever had.
Edited to drop a star. I'm sorry to harm the average but I feel I have to: Now that I've called Richard a couple more times, I have to say he never actually got his hands wet at our home. He takes my call or text and even will come over ... then accepts no payment for his time and recommends someone else. Generous and kind but not what you expect when you contact a plumber. If his B team were 100% great that would be okay--they're decent, but south of four stars. Not sure what aspect of plumbing Richard actually does.

This was my first time using Flo-rite and will definitely be my go to for all plumbing issues. I had an ongoing leak for months now with no resolve. Matt, the owner responded to my inquiry right away and came out the next day to assess and provide a quote. He was able to diagnose the issue and completed the job in a timely manner (we needed multiple pipes to be replaced). Michelle kept me up to date regarding ETA via text message, which was great. I have had issues with other companies in the past who will schedule a time and then show up hours later. Flo-rite is professional, timely and organized. Highly recommended for all your plumbing needs.

These guys were just awful in the Summer of 2015 my father who is in his 90s called them to fix a slow leaking toilet tank.
The plumber went out to buy parts, disassembled the entire toilet, removing it from the floor, spent several hours, then told my dad that it was not fixable and it would have to be replaced and the replacement would cost $1500- $2000. Luckily I was talking to my dad that day and he mentioned it to me. I asked him to please not go forward with this as it sounded like an exorbitant amount of money and also I didn't understand why a simple leak from the tank into the bowl couldn't be fixed. My dad agreed to hold off and let me look at it. Unfortunately, he had given them his Visa credit card to charge $125 for their services.
When I got to the house, I removed the lid from the tank, shined my iPhone flashlight into the tank, saw the small ripples caused by a slow leak, lifted up the flapper mechanism saw that it was an old design but was adjustable by way of a threaded screw the sealing disc was at the end of. I turned it 2 1/2 turns counterclockwise tightening it and water no longer leaked into the bowl, not even a drop. This all took less than 30 seconds to accomplish, including removing and putting back the porcelain lid. I protested to City Wide Sewer and Drain that their employee had simply wasted his time due either to incompetence- I'm no plumber and it took me under a minute to diagnose and fix - or greed, trying to get an elderly man to replace a perfectly good toilet for $1500-$2000, when the repair was easy as pie and very straight forward. There were no parts needed, and it was fixed and continues to operate flawlessly two years later.
They kept my Dad's $125.00 and Visa ruled it an appropriate charge, so we're out $125 for no good reason, but at least you know and can make an informed decision when you need a plumber.

Great , true pro, on time, clean and got the job done with no BS. WISH their were more like Woodhaven Plumbing...
103-19 101st Ave Ozone Park, NY 11416
I've had nothing but good experiences over the years. Joe is professional and knowledgeable and most of all a very nice guy, so to me that's worth the price which is pretty ridiculously expensive. He's done everything from replacing our well pump to making a simple toilet fix while he was there. I would not hesitate to call Aversa plumbing, you won't be disappointed.
35 Old Coach Rd Monroe, CT 06468
In-Line Plumbing is an excellent company. We had a kitchen drain clog, and Stan got back to me promptly when I requested a price quote and set up a time that was convenient for me. When he arrived, he was prompt, friendly and quick to fix the problem. The price was more than reasonable. We'll definitely use In-Line Plumbing again and would recommend to others.

Kellem was responsive, reliable, timely and did a great job. He sent me pictures very yep of the way since I was not in town. Would definitely use again and recommend!
432 E 9th St New York, NY 10009
Johnny was a true professional. He looked at my kitchen sink and knew exactly what the issue was, brought in his plumbing tool, and cleared the drain. I will definitely use Johnny again. Thanks!
14230 Sandford Ave Flushing, NY 11355
Lovely to work with. He returns calls within the day and gives his cell for emergencies. He clearly knows what he is doing and charges fairly. I have used him several times and had reason to regret it recently when I called another local company who did bad work for a ridiculous price.

Letter to Joseph Kennan( Bob's Lawyer)
In August I contacted Bob McManus, as he was an approved plumber on my cooperative's list. As soon as he answered the phone I greeted him, introduced myself and asked him if he works on cesspools in Breezy Pont. He said he did. I explained to him that I had a cesspool in the front of my house that was not able to handle all the plumbing that was going into it and I wanted my shower and sink water from my bathroom rerouted to a cesspool located in the rear of my house. I explain to him that it was full of sand for many years. I explained also that I had a laborer that would come and dig it out. He asked me if the laborer knew anything about cesspools and I told him no. He said just have him take out the sand that was inside the cesspool and do not have him dig out around the cesspool that he would take care of that part. We discussed in detail what needed to be done as far as refurbishing (for lack of a better term) the cesspool. He explained the outside of the entre cesspool would be dug out and lined with a material that allows water to drain yet won't allow sand to penetrate through and also that gravel would be placed all around the outside. I knew all about this and was happy to hear Bob was experienced and was able to assure me this would be done properly. He also explained how everything would be sealed up nice and tight regarding the hole that was being made in my back wall in the basement.
On August 18 I had the laborer come and dig out the cesspool. Bob was actually in the area and came by and looked at the man that was digging out the cesspool while he was standing in the cesspool. He told him in front of me to take out about another foot or so which he did until he hit water. I texted Bob told him it was done and explained he hit water.
Bob's men were supposed to come here two days later on August 20 at 8 AM. At 8:24 AM I texted Bob because no one showed up. He said they were coming, which they did at about 9:15 that morning. They proceeded to do the plumbing work with rerouting the piping from my sink and shower to the back of my basement. They had to make a hole in the foundation wall to bring the pipe through to the cesspool which they did.
I noticed at 1:45 that they never started digging around the cesspool and there was no delivery of gravel. When I asked the guys when they were going to start doing that, neither of them had any idea what I was talking about. I texted Bob immediately. In the text I said to him, your men don't know anything about digging around the cesspool or the gravel and you said you were going to put around the cesspool. His reply was, yes you're right we will need another day. Shortly after Bob came with a few bags of gravel about 5, 40 pound bags of gravel. One bag of gravel is about the size of a shoebox there would be much more gravel needed to surround the entire cesspool. He also was using the wrong gravel a very small pebble like gravel that is never used. He had his man dig a couple of holes in random spots and dump a bag in each hole. It does not make sense to dump gravel at the top area of a cesspool as you want it to drain starting from the bottom up. He insisted that it would be fine he followed that by saying let me know if it doesn't drain but you should be fine.
Bob also had told me the holes that the pipes were going through would be closed up and sealed properly. That was never done. I had to contact him again about sealing the holes. He had someone come back that following Monday to do that. He actually had to use spray foam that I had already in my house to seal it up temporarily until he brought the metal piece to put around the pipe against the wall.
Later on I found a huge hole in the block of the cesspool that my fist was able to fit through.(probably hole that was used for line years ago) That hole would allow sand to spill in and continually enter the cesspool. Once again he had to send one of his men back to place a piece of tin over that hole and bang it in so the sand would stop pouring into the cesspool. Later I wound up getting some bags of gravel to dump around that hole because it wasn't covering the hole completely still allowing sand to seep in.
When we agreed that Bob would do this job he was going to do it exactly like he said and he only completed half of the work. I paid him $2000 to basically reroute my water and run a PVC pipe. His men worked from 9:30 to 3:00 with an hour lunch break where I barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs for them.
I actually had to pump a few days ago because the water was approaching the pipeline. If it did, then I would have water backing up into my sink and shower. BOB owes me $1000. since he only did half the work. Now he and his lawyer deny he was ever doing work to my cesspool. OUTRIGHT LIE!

Greg and Juan located and fixed a massive, hard to reach leak in my kitchen ceiling that was causing huge damage in my apartment. This was not easy and they did it all effectively and efficiently and quickly, and couldn't have been more polite and more honest and more straightforward about through the whole process. Easy to communicate with. I asked them to write up a page description of the damage for my insurance claim and they didn't hesitate for a second -- went above and beyond the call of duty. Good guys.

I use Yelp almost daily when searching for services and this is the first time I've felt compelled to leave a review. It is rare that a service provider exceeds your expectations. I've used Ryan & Co. three times now, and every single time they are more prompt, more courteous, more professional than I could possibly anticipate.
We bought an old house with radiators, baseboard, and electric heat. I've always used forced heat in the past and have never had a boiler. So I have a lot to learn. Ryan & Co. came out three times - once because the boiler was too full, another time to improve the performance of my radiators, and finally a late-night emergency visit for a burst pipe.
Erin is always really nice on the phone, even when I have a lot of questions. I spoke with Kevin recently during my after hours emergency call, and he also was really nice. I had water pouring out of my wall and ceiling and he helped find the water shutoff valve for the house, saving me a lot of water damage. They had a technician out to me in about 20 minutes.
Rich has been my technician for almost all of the work and he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He is methodical and thorough and he explains everything he's doing in a way that I can understand. I've had many, many questions and he always answers them patiently and with kindness. Ryan and Co. has taught me more about my home than I've learned through any other means. Beyond the work that they've done, this knowledge will help me care for and enjoy my home and for that I am very grateful.
Their prices have been quite reasonable - $300 for the after-hours call to stop the leaking pipe (still have to schedule the repair), $1100 for a full days work adjusting and repairing 10 radiators. They have a customer for life!

44 Abbett Ave Morristown, NJ 07960
Came out 2 times and asked basically asked what I thought the problem was, even though I am not an expert. Overall their goal was to spend as least time as possible at the site to make the most money.. 2nd guy who came out was an expert but did nothing but spend half his time talking down to me because I was not smart enough to understand a boiler. (Steam heat is over 100 years old) After 20 mins of hubris, he decided there was nothing he could do. After talking to someone who knew less, he then decided to actually look at the boiler and then realized that there were problems. I am a tech myself who builds and fixes computers. If you make a housecall, the least you can do with a $125 min appearance fee is look at the device and run diagnostics on all parts. Of course they charged us the full price both times, even though the first tech didn't bother to check out the parts. Save your time and patience and choose a company that at least knows the definition of professionalism.
