Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I had to convert my home in Philadelphia from oil to gas heat.  I got several quotes from several places and they were all about the same, but Mark threw in the removal of my old oil tank with the price.  Overall, they did a great job.  We only had some slight miscommunication regarding my thermostat, but I'll chalk that up to us never meeting in person and doing business 3,000 miles apart and him having to deal with my tenant.  If I had to do it all over again, I'd still use him.  He responds fast by phone, email, and texts.  And they finished the job within the agreed upon timeframe.  More importantly, he began the job before receiving my check, which was definitely a plus.

these guys were punctual, and straightened out my issues pretty quickly. Very personable and chatty as well.

Had a water heater problem.  He took my call immediately and discussed at length with me what was happening.  Asked for nothing.  It was even a holiday weekend. He is number one on my list for my next home issue.

Warren has done a few jobs for me to date. He's honest, hardworking, and keeps me informed every step of the way. Couldn't ask for more. I recommend him for your plumbing needs in the Philly area!

Was able to get a same day appointment for a second opinion after the gas company told us we had a leak with our heater line.

Aqua responded to my Yelp message and I was able to schedule an appointment for later in the day. They called saying they were running late and then the technician called to follow-up, giving an estimate of the time he would arrive.

Once he arrived (I believe it was Bobby), he was socially distant, wore a mask and was professional. We told him our situation and that we wanted a second opinion. He was honest and told us that our first opinion was correct in his assessment. He did point out some other things that may be the cause of our sewer smell and said he would be glad to come out again if the smell continued.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Aqua again - great company and service!

I am WAY behind on leaving this review, but they did an amazing job. We were replacing a faucet and our water shut offs were leaking. Replaced both (and a third they found) as well as our home shutoff valve for a reasonable price. Great communication. Very kind. And very adherent to safety in the pandemic! Will use again!

Our sink overflowed on Saturday night. I got a quick response and service provided the next day. He was very accommodating with the time, punctual and professional. He explained was caused the issue and gave us some tips to prevent the issue from reoccurring. Would definitely recommend.

Our main line backed up and was causing my toilet to overflowwhich left me no choice but to call a plumber. I work an office job and none of my family were in the trades growing up, therefore, I'm always terrified at the thought of having to hire someone for stuff like this. After stumbling on a recommendation for Goodman plumbing on our neighborhood web site, I took a chance and grabbed them a call on a Saturday, just after 12pm. The plumbers arrived at my front door by 1:30. I showed them the area and they went to work immediately. After they dislodged the blockage, black water came gushing out of the cleanout access. As I watched this occur, I realized two things.  1 - that I could never be as plumber. 2 -  I was willing to liquidate my kid's college fund to make it all go away.  Without missing a beat, the guys had the leak contained and they were cleaning up the spill as they made progress on the pipes. Within an hour, they had our pipes back in business and the area was even cleaned up. They were professional, polite and they respected my house. The cost for the line service was $195, and frankly, after seeing what they did, it was a bargain. As with most businesses who fix stuff, I honestly hope I'll never have to see them again, however, with an almost 100 year old home, I'm sure I'll be in need of their services at some point and I will not hesitate contacting them in the future.

Very knowledgeable and honest. It was clear he knew what he was doing right away. 2 other plumbers were not able to diagnose, it ended up not even being a plumbing issue! Also- very quick response time. If I ever have a plumbing need again, going straight to him.

I hope this review makes it to the recommended page instead of the not recommended page. It makes Yelp look dishonest when they hide good reviews as not recommended.  The not recommended reviews there look similar to the recommended page, positive.    I also hope Yelp puts this on the recommended list, so people can see more up to date reviews that are hidden.       BTW....I still love you and need you and recommend you Yelp, just would like to see more fair business practices by you.                              For my review......

I'm afraid if I tell everyone how great Miller Plumbing is, he will get too busy and I will have to wait a long time to get him back.  Mike Miller has so far, in our opinion, been professional, prompt when scheduled, there for you in an emergency, and his prices are competitive.  In addition, this guy knows about electric and plumbing, so if you need to install or remove  something involving water and electric (like my dishwasher), he knows how to shut off the water, disable the electric switch in the breaker box that goes to the appliance, AND he knows wiring as a result of so many years having to do both.  Many of the Home Depot /Lowes delivery guys don't know how to do installations, so they try their best, and often people end up with leaks and problems.  it is also a 3 hr job to take out and then install a new dishwasher.  Home Depot quoted me $70 for installation, which sounded low.  it was.  Mike says the whole job for him would be $285 including new valve, for three hours work, which is competitive.  Home Depot and Lowes tell you $70 for the install, then they arrive, and tell you that you don't have the right part needed to do the install, and that a plumber will have to come and cut a few pipes, and add a new cut off valve.  This is so the hard/dangerous job is done for them.  also, the delivery/install guys arrived at 8 a.m. And as they were leaving at 8:15, I heard one guy on the phone with the scheduler, complaining that he had twelve more deliveries, with a few of them being installs.  So, it appears they do the you don't have the right setup and parts thing to lessen their schedule.     Several people have reported this problem recently in our area.   Apparently this is to buy them time, especially since three hours will eat up their time.    So you end up paying a plumber, and then supposedly they come back another day to finish the $70 job.  I have heard that often, they never even come back, and service doesn't return calls for help to finish job.  We shall see....they are supposed to call tomorrow afternoon with the time to come back to install the next day after Mike has been here.  I am probably stupid letting them come back to save $100, but this month, I have to do it.  All the hassle with Home Depot and Lowes is not worth it.  Better to call Mike to do the whole job well and at a competitive price for a plumber who knows electric. He is also nice, courteous, and a perfectionist and we have used him successfully 4 times for very different problems.  Even my parents are thrilled with Miller Plumbing.  Great...now I've said too much....never could keep a good thing to myself.

UPDATE: 1 Month Later....changed my mind about letting Home Depot do the job.  Decided Mike was the guy, he came, did the whole thing in 3 hrs with his assistant, cleaned up totally and took away old dishwasher all for the price quoted.  I just didn't want to deal with plumbing problems down the line because I wanted to save a hundred bucks.  All is running well now, thanks to Mike!

Fantastic customer service, incredibly knowledgeable and amazing work! Highly recommended!

Have a plumbing issue? Call Valdel and ask for Tim. Tim has replaced a bathroom faucet, modified a kitchen faucet, and replaced a toilet at my house. I appreciate that he tries to educate me on his plumbing repairs while he's there. He does great work quickly, is friendly, timely, and I have found the prices for everything to be reasonable. I hope I don't have a plumbing need any time soon, but I know who I'll call if I do!

After Roto Rooter came out and quoted me $7,500 dollars for a whole new main since mine was broken and couldn't be snaked, I went with a second opinion and called Bommer. Their receptionist and plumber were seriously awesome and had my problem fixed in 30 mins...for $300. We will never go with anyone else after the crooks we encountered, that you tech Jim Murphy!

Thank you for help, the price is reasonable.
Previous contractor doesnt help, but Luan and his friend help us well. The problem has been resolved.
Thank you Luan.

I want to thank Chris Williams for what he did for my wife and I today.  We were watching water seep into our house from a pipe outside.  I called several plumbers and everyone told me they could not help because they were booked solid.  When I spoke to the nice young lady at Williams Precision Plumbing (sorry, I didn't remember her name), she told me they too were booked solid.  However, she sounded truly sorry to tell me that, so I felt comfortable asking her if she could recommend someone who might be able to help.  She agreed. Within a minute or so, Chris Williams got on the phone and calmly asked me to explain what was going on. After listening to my explanation, he suggested that I text him some pictures of the outdoor pipe I was speaking about, which I did. Within 5 minutes, he told me that the reason the shutting off of the main water valve in the house didn't help, was because this was an irrigation pipe. He told me to trace the pipe back into the house and find another valve that would control the irrigation system.  He did all of this, while calmly apologizing that he couldn't come by right away because they were involved in a major job where an inspector was present. I followed Chris' advice and within 5 minutes was able to identify the correct shutoff valve and the water finally stopped running. In an age where many will not go out of their way to offer help unless they are directly profiting from their assistance, Chris offered help because he is a true professional and a very decent guy.  You can rest assured, the next time we need a plumber, Chris will be the first person I call.

Minor toilet problem, came promptly, repaired problem, reasonable cost---exactly what I wantrd

We had a clogged drain pipe outside and the rain was getting into our basement. After multiple plumbers said they couldn't handle that type of work, we got Mr. Rooter on the schedule ASAP. Lenny came first thing in the morning and completely fixed the issue. He said he's seen it all and assured me he could get the job done, and he did. Extremely reasonable prices compared to some of the other quotes we were given. Lenny rocks!

It's never good when you have a plumbing issue at 4pm on a Thursday. After calling a ton of folks and not hearing back from anyone and searching emergency plumbing Philly I stumbled upon Vinko plumbing and now have a new plumber in Kevin! He was very responsive, did the work thoroughly, walked me through what was wrong, what he could fix now, and what we should do later, and was an all around nice guy. Highly recommend him for your plumbing needs!
