Best Businesses in New York

Wanda is the best !   JMW saved me from a major DEP violation/fine with plumbing that was not up to code in my building.   They did this work quickly, expertly, and at a VERY fair price.   Others had quoted much more.  Wanda is very easy to communicate with and explained clearly what the problem was and how to handle it.  I will be calling JMW for all my plumbing needs in the future.

Mark and his team are just outstanding. The quality of their work is excellent, they are reliable, honest and have a lot of integrity. They did the plumbing under our kitchen sink, replaced the spigot and put in all new plumbing for the entire house. His team are courteous and professional. Just good business people all around and I highly recommend their services.

Prompt to reply and come on-site to do the job. Excellent quality of work and charged what they quoted in the estimate. Would hire again.

Don't call anybody else. This is the most outstanding company that I have ever dealt with. I needed emergency help to replace my sewer pipe. They came on a Sunday morning and finished the job the same day. A very big job, they came with a big crew and worked and worked and worked. Very polite and very professional. I highly recommend them.

George & his crew are great plumbers & great guys!! I had my bathroom & kitchen gut renovated, and they did such quality work & were done in a flash!! Plus, they're the long-time, family business in the neighborhood, so that's even more of a reason to call them. How they manage to keep smiling, after staring down toilets all-day, every-day is amazing!! :)

Great service from my first call to the follow up text to ensure the new part was working. After speaking with plumbers from several other companies, who discouraged me from getting an adjustable air vent for my radiator, Strato understood my problem and  provided a quick and easy solution. He was communicative and punctual. I will be using Harris for all my future Plumbing needs.

24/7 Plumbing came to my workplace (a large UWS synagogue), on short notice when we were experiencing a very unpleasant issue with the sewer line backing up into our basement.

Their techs were courteous, neat, and efficient. They spent almost 3 hours clearing the main drain/sewer line, resolving the issue. They then checked that water was flowing through the drain line from the top to the bottom of the building. Great work.

Since finding a good plumber that is honest and reliable, I feel it is important to recommend and support a local plumber that fits this description.

Scott Lowe has serviced our home and has arrived on time and works fast. Sometimes when you call you do get a voice mail but the calls are usually returned that day.

What I appreciate is that their business has been in the area for decades (I believe Scott is the grandson of the founder) and he is very honest, and will not do work that is not needed immediately. He even told me to wait on one repair and save the money for now. Many plumbers would not do that (at least ones I worked with in the past).

I would highly recommend Franklin Lowe and Sons, good service and honest work.

Branden is the best! Always helpful and patient even when he is super busy, which he always is. Great place. Enjoy doing business with them.

First to respond. I received a quote the same day I emailed pictures that was requested. They were on time and completed the job quickly and professionally. They replaced my expansion tank on my water heater. They rerouted the water line and hung it correctly. They found a small leak on my water heater and fixed it. They replaced the fill valve on my toilet and installed a bidet. I mentioned a leak on my spigot outside. I was told the leak was from the packing. He repaired it. He could have said it required replacement, he didn't. Most important, they are on time, professional and are very nice people. They took their time to explain things. I had some questions and they answered them. I paid less then what I was quoted. They also give a military discount. I recommend Safehaven Home Services. When needed I will use them again.

Michael and his team are what you would consider going above and beyond what is expected. We had a leak in our finished basement over Memorial Day weekend and they made all our problems go away. They took the time to explain what it was they were doing and you can tell they were genuine and not just out to make a cash grab. It's rare these days to find that kind of service. Overall, I would definitely recommend them.

Was going to use Roto-Rooter again for clogged bathtub my tenants were experiencing. However, saw that AJ Perri offered $99/drain plus 10% discount if scheduled on-line. Went with AJ Perri instead and paid less than $100 for the same job that cost me $400 about a year and a half ago with Roto-Rooter. Roto-Rooter technicians have always been pleasant and punctual and have always gotten the job done, but their prices, I've realized and been told by others, are extremely high. You can't go wrong with Roto-Rooter other than paying a lot more! The two-star rating is for the price difference.

I've never seen a water heater in worse condition than mine!

I heard about Pelham through my friend as I am new to New York City.  Pelham delivered very reliable service in a timely manner.  Greg was great over the phone and very accommodating with my requests.  I will definitely use them again!! :)

Great family owned feel!

I worked with Tom Myers, Henry's son, and he solved all my plumbing problems. First he helped me remove my violation with the DOB, coming up with a plan that neither my architect, contractor nor expediter seemed to be able to figure out. Then he fixed the work that my crappy other plumber had done, making it up to code. He gave me a great deal, and is a lovely person. I love to support local family owned businesses, and this would be one of the best of that genre!

I am a health care worker writing this email in the middle of the COVID crisis -- as you might imagine I am very busy at the moment so if I am taking the time to write a review then I must consider this to be a pretty egregious issue, which as you can see from the email below is indeed the case.  

We have lived in the same house in Hamilton Heights since 2008 and we have always used Watson Plumbing for any of our plumbing needs. For example, in Fall 2019, we called Watson to install a new kitchen faucet and to reset two of our toilets and they did a great job. So, we did not hesitate to contact Watson for the relatively straightforward work of (1) replacing the flapper mechanisms in our toilets; and (2) unclogging some drains. We fully realize that this work could have been done by an experienced handyperson, but we had previously  had some great experiences with Watson and we did not hesitate to call them to take care of these relatively simple problems .

Boy, were we wrong.... What a disaster. To make a long story short... They sent a clearly very inexperienced person who spent most of his time chatting on his phone rather than replacing the flappers on our toilets. When he could not figure out how to replace the mechanisms in one of our toilets, he tried to talk us into getting a new toilet! Can you imagine - instead of replacing the flapper he told us we needed a new toilet.

When I complained to the compandy, they sent the supervisor as well as some more experienced technicians.  However, 8 hours later - and 8 hours that they charged us for - we still do not have functional toilets. In fact, here we are now in a house with 2 college kids back home and 2 other adults and in a house with 4 toilets only 1 which is working. AND we paid $1000 for their incompetent service. I would like to emphasize that BEFORE Watson came NONE of the toilets were running yet now 3 or the 4 toilets run continually after their service  -- so now we can use only 1 toilet. We had to shut the other three toilets off because we got a letter from the City indicating that the water flow is excessive - so this is not our imagination the City is also concerned.

We called Watson back twice to try to address the issues yet the problems persist. And of course, we cannot call a real plumber at the moment because we cannot have anyone in the house during the COVID crisis.  And by the way, I am not sure what they did to snake the drains, since the same drains are now clogged again - so, clearly, they did not even snake the drains properly.

Having said all of this, I would have chalked it all up to experience and had planned to call a competent plumber when the COVID crisis is over but APPALLINGLY they sent us a bill for the visits that they came back to deal with their incompetence - can you imagine the gall of that - plumbers who after three visits cannot change a toilet flapper competently and then try to charge us for it....Can you imagine...

The customer service is horrible.  Incredibly overpriced ($275 to snake a toilet bowl) for a service that did not fix the problem.  The plumber claimed to have snaked 10 feet and later admitted it was at least 2 feet less than that.  Toilet broke again 2 days later.  Plumber was supposed to come back on a Friday, but had a family emergency.  Didn't bother calling to let me know that he would not be showing up.  Showed up the next morning 45 minutes late.  Blamed me for flushing things down the toilet despite the fact that I purchased the toilet paper he recommended and have flushed minimal amounts.  Wanted to charge another $175 to rebuild the toilet ($20 for parts).  Incredibly unprofessional and refused to spend more than 30 seconds looking at the toilet and diagnosing the actual problem.  Will NEVER call this place again.

This company is working by my apartment building and as they were loading pipes on to there cart they left it unattended and it dented my vehicle.There supervisor was standing there with them they just walked away and pretended like it didn't happen luckily for me another company was working there and told me what happened and now they don't take my calls and refuse to pay for the damages they did to my vehicle.
