Thank you Main Man Plumbing Corporation!
    We learned that we had a broken sewer line when a basement toilet seriously backed up.  A neighborhood plumber came and tried to rotor rooter the toilet clog. His bit got stuck  and he could not extricate it. We have a Victorian house that is over 100 years old and learned that our pipe line was clay piping. We met with several plumbers and received an array of price quotes.  We checked that all had licenses and went on several web sites for reviews.  Main Man was recommended by my seamstress who said the company did a wonderful job on her sewer line problem. My husband was impressed with Main Man's representative and told me that he seemed to really know his business.  The owner, Scott Kerity, was very pleasant to deal with and explained the permits, the contract details, and how long it would take to do the job. His price was reasonable. By this time, we were taking showers at the neighbor's and the gym.
    After signing the contract, Scott 's team came the next day, right on time and gave us back our water usage. They found the broken pipe and replaced it with the appropriate piping.  All this within 4 hours.  Their work was clean and they did not break the sidewalk ( which we had recently had put down with a special process to match the older sidewalks).  The crew answered all my questions (a lot) about their work. They came the next working day to complete the job.  I was very pleased with the results and that everything that Scott said he would do , was done in a timely and professional manner.  I want to  recommend Main Man Plumbing as an honest, qualified , and efficient company to use. By the way, they also extricated the bit and drill for our neighborhood plumber.

Our toilet had a stoppage in the middle of the night. After consulting with multiple plumbers, Akeim of Sturks Sewer Works was able to clear the blockage and get the toilet back into functional order at a very reasonable rate. Thank you so much Akeim!

Robert is a real professional.  He responded to my initial voicemail within minutes and after exchanging a few emails my appointment was set a few days in advance.  After dealing with two other plumbers who don't return calls, show up late or not at all, etc. it was so refreshing to work with someone reliable.

He provided a fair quote to switch out a bathroom vanity sink with a new one I'd purchased after looking at pictures of my existing plumbing and the new pedestal I needed installed.  Note that his quotes are set for a job including materials, not the usual time + materials situation you see with most contractors.  Again, he knows what he's doing and the transparency is a breath of fresh air.

The morning of our appointment he showed up 20 minutes early, focused on finishing the work, got it done within the expected window (this included a quick run to Home Depot for supplies), and left the bathroom looking tidy.  Robert was polite and answered questions about other work I might need to have done in the future - I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for those projects.  While it wasn't included in my initial quote, he was kind enough to call helpers to bring the old sink down the stairs of my walkup building.  Thanks for a job well done!

Eddie is the best in the biz! Had a leak in the basement ceiling under my bathtub so I feared the worst. Eddie came out the first time for no charge and assured me it was not what I feared but said he'd come back if the leak came back. Then when the leak returned he and his team came out after the biggest snow storm we've had in years and found the culprit was bad sealing next to the tub. He sealed it up with some stuff I had leftover from the last job and he only charged me for this second call. I'd definitely recommend him for any plumbing needs! Thanks Eddie.

Mike saved us from a potential disaster! We had a leaking water heater, and no prior experience with anything of this magnitude since we bought an older home. Not knowing who to call and being skeptical of someone taking advantage, we decided to call Mike at Austin Plumbing and Heating. He showed up ready to work right away. He was quick, efficient, professional, and fair. He educated us and wasted no time in getting our new water heater up and running. We highly recommend him. Don't hesitate and trust Mike!

I needed work done on my boiler. Immediately i knew this was the company to hire. Fast response for an estimate. Looked at every detail and explained every step of the process. Friendly and courteous. Came on time and did the job as explained. Went through every step again with me and his crew. Got everything taken care. Work was done neat and professionally. Highly recommend this service.

Extremely flexible to our schedule, came out on a Saturday morning.  Quickly repaired shower and reasonable cost. Will use this company again!

Had a bolier issue and have been unhappy with the last, oh, ten plumbers we've used.   Asked around the neighborhood and everyone's response was Don't know, but if you find a good one give me their number!   I ended up getting Downtown's recommendation from a contractor who I trust, and my search is over. I was 80% sure  I didn't need anything replaced and they didn't try to throw expensive solutions out before they looked closely (been there too many times) or have even a hint of upsell during the call (ditto).  They knew what they were doing, solved the problem for a price I was happy to pay, and I was back in business.   Domenic has a great manner and is an excellent communicator.  Everything, from phone calls to figure when they could come to doing the job and filling me in on what I had going on was handled professionally and to the satisfaction of anyone's standards.  

Will definitely be using them from now on.

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.

My experience with Blaustein was the complete opposite of Phineas' (as has been the experience of two co-ops who've used Blaustein for years and recommended them).  B. responded immediately to my call and located a hard-to-reach leaking drainpipe that two previous plumbers had been unable to find.  Junior, the head doctor, had to cut away a lot of wood shims under the tub to see the culprit, then removed and replaced it in only two hours' work.  Decades of experience, total professionals, reasonable prices, and it's even a union shop, we understand.

Our kitchen needed remodeling. Honestly, my wife and I purchased a new kitchen countertop and we were looking for someone install it. Samir by far is a great choice. He made us feel very comfortable, answered all our questions, and also suggested a few other options. The installation was quick, neat and perfect. He educated us throughout the installation and has a great sense of humor. You can tell that he really enjoys his work and understands what the customer needs. Definitely a great choice. Thank you !!

Did the job.  No surprises on the price.  Worked in the time frame promised.  A bit pricey but they are a solid outfit.

They provide exceptional and quick Backflow testing at a competitive price.  Tom went above and beyond to resolve additional issues arose after the testing. He is courteous and walked me through step by step to get the work done. Highly recommended to anyone who needs Backflow testing!

There customer service is great, everyone is friendly. I would recommend this spot to any one in need of plumbing supplies. I was also told they sell Girl Scout Cookies so I had stopped by to buy some and it was very heart warming to see how the father was supporting his daughter.

Quick and professional install; plumber provided quality parts. Overall excellent service

I hired Rob and his son after they assured me that the reason why water/sewage was seeping from the base of my toilet was a clogged pipe, not the sewage line like what two young men from a business in South Orange, NJ, said. Jerry and Shawn quoted me over $600 to snake the sewer line and secure my toilet to the bathroom floor. I turned them away, even after Jerry asked if $500 was acceptable.
Rob and junior came 5 minutes later, inspected my my sewage system and bathroom pipes, and got started right away. Rob explained everything before and during the service. He even educated me on preventative measures, i.e., use septic-friendly tissue, even for non-septic systems, and to have my pipes redone to correct the 90-degree angle.
Why only 4 stars? I had to take off one, because my wife spent a good hour cleaning up the oil splatter from the snake drain. Other than that, Rob and his young son did a great job. They won my trust.

Do not work with! They came in to fix an issue with our kitchen sink leaking. They installed the wrong size pipe that caused our dishwasher to not drain properly but it took us a few months to figure out the issue. When we called back to ask them to come install the right size pipe they said we had to contact the plumber directly who came to our apartment and there was nothing they could do... when we got in touch with the plumber he said he would come and then cancelled 3 days in a row then completely stopped answering us. Cheap johns is still saying there is nothing they can do for us meanwhile our receipt and warranty for the original work is from their company... it's inexcusable and I would expect a refund if they can't fix THEIR mistake since the work was done incorrectly and they are not honoring the warranty on their receipt

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!
