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.

I had a leak in the basement from a broken pipe. Responded quickly to request for a quote. Showed up and did a great job for a fair price. Highly recommend to anyone in need of plumbing service

These guys are absolutely amazing.  Hands down the best experience I have ever had with any kind of contractor, anywhere, and I've used lots of them over the years.  The service and professionalism and communication and attention they provide are the kind you'd expect from the guy you know in a small town; I was so pleasantly surprised (shocked, actually) to find someone like this in Manhattan.  If you ever need plumbing work done, do yourself a favor and call these guys!  Seriously!

We found out that our shower was apparently leaking and causing some issues in the unit below us, so we needed a fix.  Since we hated our bathroom, we decided to gut the thing and start anew rather than trying to patch things up.  We spoke to an unbelievable number of contractors.  Many would make appointments to evaluate and give an estimate and never show up.  Those that did show up would give astronomical quotes.  I mean, this is New York, but come on, renovating a bathroom shouldn't eat up 25% of my take-home salary.

We saw an ad on TV for a site called HomeAdvisor, and Star Cities was one of the places they referred us to.  We emailed Star Cities and got a very prompt reply.  They set up an appointment and kept it.  They showed up on time (a few minutes early, actually) and took the time to explain what needed to be done clearly, assuring us that it was not as bad of a job as we thought.  We loved Robert, and waited for their quote.  The quote came quite quickly -- much more quickly than we expected -- and we were pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was.  Robert was the best plumber we'd met, and gave us a good and fair price.  Needless to say, we booked him to do the work.

They started the work just when they said they would (a few minutes early, actually).  Over the course of a couple of weeks (we did this around Thanksgiving), they completely changed our bathroom.  They tore out the tub, the walls around the tub, the toilet, and the floor, and installed a new tub (which was very hard to do I'm sure because we have a very weird and VERY tight space), a new shower body, new floors, painted the walls, installed a new toilet, and everything.  They even installed a new shower door.  The shower door wasn't part of the work order, but when we found one we liked, be bought it and brought it to the apartment.  We asked them to install it and told them we'd pay for the installation; they installed it and didn't charge us.  It was not an easy door to install (a weird Kohler barn door thing).

We were actually so impressed with the work they were doing, we decided to ask them to demolish an old closet and build a new one, as well as hang crown moulding around our entire apartment.  They gave us a good quote and worked with our budget.  The closet and the crown moulding are absolutely gorgeous.  We'd thought about using the handyman at the hardware store next door for that work, but he never gave us a quote, despite our constant reminders.  Robert, however, gave us a quote quickly, and did an amazing, amazing job.  I'm so glad we didn't go with someone else on the closet, because they gave us exactly what we wanted.  It looks so much better than we imagined.

After they finished the bathroom, we noticed a problem with the hot water (not enough water pressure).  I sent Robert a very panicked text late at night.  He promptly replied, showed up the next day, and fixed the issue.  Apparently some detritus got in a pipe.  I was very pleased with his follow-through.  Even though the job was done and he'd been paid, he made sure to promptly address the issue.

When it came time to get the final invoice there were no surprises.  The deal was we pay a 75% deposit.  The balance of the invoice was the other 25%.  No sneaking things in, no saying things got complicated, no nothing.  Straight up what we expected: we owed the last 25% that we didn't put down in the deposit.  Star Cities is honest, does quality work, and does the work for what they say they will (and on time).

These guys were such a pleasure to work with.  I hope I don't have any more plumbing issues that need fixing, but if I do, I know where I'll go.  If you need plumbing work done, call them!  You'll be thankful you did.

Recommended Plumbing answered my call quickly, gave a fair price, and completed the job without any issues. Patrick was knowledgeable and professional. I will use their services again and recommend them to friends and family.

I have been doing business with Austin Plumbing and Heating for nearly a decade.

I've had Michael work on several of my buildings. The scope of the work has ranged from large boilers, sewer site lines, lift stations and gas leaks.

I have been satisfied every time I've used Austin Plumbing and Heating. They have always completed work on time and within budget. The work they have done has always been up to code and passed inspection. I highly recommend them!

Today is Christmas Eve and I want to write how grateful my family and I are that Pete made the time to stop over early today and solve our plumbing issues. I woke up to no running water in my bathroom and heat issues. I texted Pete and without hesitation he came at 8am. He made the time to come over and spend at least over an hour diagnosing my plumbing issues. He would not leave until my problem was solved and even unclogged my sink in between! He truly loves what he does and it shows. He's a good person and honest, that is rare these days when most people are more focused on making a buck than helping a fellow human. I will continue to use his services and recommend his business to all my friend for life. You can't go wrong with this business. I would give ten stars if I was allowed!

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.

Andre came to inspect our broken faucet and leaky dishwasher and was fantastic. He fixed the leak and then came back the following week to install a new faucet after our contractor broke it on install. Fantastic service and so responsive and helpful - couldn't have asked for anything more.

I rarely leave reviews, yet I felt it important in this case so people get a balanced opinion. I hired Colin Lee for a plumbing job based solely on his 5 star reviews. I was extremely disappointed. I hired him to evaluate my kitchen drain as it was draining slowly. As reviews indicated, he is personable and wore shoe covers into my apartment, so I was already sold. He looked at my kitchen and bathroom sinks and snaked a small portion of the drain under my sink. When he did not clear the obstruction, he told me the blockage was well distant to my apartment (I live on the second floor of an old Brownstone). He said the problem was likely in the walls below my apartment or in the basement. As this was a job beyond his scope, he said I would need a larger plumbing company. He charged me $50 for his time and went on his way. I understood and initially thought this all seemed reasonable.

I then called a different plumber, who came the next day. I told the second plumber what Colin had said. The new plumber was certain it needed to be snaked and that Colin had not done an adequate job. The second plumber spent about an hour and thoroughly snaked my kitchen pipes. He cleared the obstruction and the water drains perfectly.

I then contacted Colin and let him know that my pipes just needed additional snaking and were now fine. I was hoping he would do the right thing and at least return my $50. Instead, he stuck to his original explanation. He said From my experience it seems like the issue I explained, and in my experience the issue generally returns in a week or 2 even if you think the clog is gone. It has been two weeks and my sink drains beautifully.

I assume Colin is OK for very simple jobs.....although, by plumbing standards, my job was relatively simple. If you have any job that is remotely complicated, look elsewhere.

Excellent service ! The men are efficient , very professional , quick ,  thorough , polite . My plumbing issue was resolved beautifully . I've used this company prior to this problem and will continue to do so with any / all future plumbing troubles I'm sure to encounter . Hats off to James Bond & St Michael !

I recently had my Tudor home in New Jersey painted by S&A Quality Pro Services. I was impressed with the work and particularly the responsiveness of Samir, the owner. His guys came over promptly every morning and finished the job in less than a week, despite challenging weather conditions. I intend to use them for other home improvement projects in the future.

Unreliable.  Scheduled an appointment a week in advance and reconfirmed two days before the appointment and they never showed up.  Said they would call to reschedule and I never heard back.  Wouldn't call them again.

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.

One afternoon I was walking by and realize they sell Girl Scout cookies. Well, I don't need a single plumbing supply but  I was happy to find cookies. Costumer service was friendly and helpful and I didn't feel uncomfortable  being a woman walking in there. Head to DJ plumping for your Plumping and cookie needs. HAHA

Really couldn't ask for a better experience. Called in th morning and Oscar came over within a few hours even though I let them know it was not an emergency. Fixed both a leaky pipe and broken toilet in a very reasonable amount of time and was extremely fair with the invoice. He is clearly an honest guy! Will certainly be my new plumber going forward. Can't go wrong with these guys!

This was the best service I ever got while being a homeowner! Fast and reasonable service I will definitely call them for any of my plumbing issues!

Called Cheap Johns night after calling around for a main line flood on a Sunday night! Not even an hour passed between me calling them and them arriving and fixing the issue. Eric was great. Wouldn't think of calling anyone else.

Really rude and unhelpful. Just needed one part and they were going to charge extra bs fees for handling. Do yourself a favor and buy exactly what you need online
