Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I had an old gas fired water heater that needed replacing.  I had previously been quoted $1,150 by another HVAC company.  I called Mark and he quoted me $850.  I called him based on his outstanding yelp reviews.  Did Mark live up to his yelp reviews?  Yes.

Things I appreciate:

- Mark quickly returns calls.  Also, if he says he will call you in 3 days, he WILL call you in 3 days.  (Unlike other contractors who forget to call you at all!)

- Mark said he would be at my house at 8am.  I looked out my window at 7:40am and he was there.  The new water heater was installed by 8:40!  

- Mark charged exactly what he quoted.

- Mark took my old water heater away.  Other plumbers don't want to do this and whine about the hassle.

- He is a genuinely nice guy.  I have dealt with other contractors who have an attitude. (Even in this economy! It's like they're doing you a favor.)

I wish Mark did more than plumbing - I'd call him for any job at my house!

The guys arrived with good vibes, and examined what I thought needed to be fixed.  They unclogged the tub drain, but discovered that the waterline to the fridge was not leaking, when they pulled it out and examined it, but they went beyond the call of duty and cleaned the horrible mess behind the fridge with bleach etc. (and explained that I had had a temporary water issue from condensation, the day I cleaned the interior of the fridge.)  Intention is so important for any human interactions.  The two gentlemen came to help and were completely fair with the price.

Top notch customer service right here!  I had a leak spring up on my main pipe feeding the entire house.  Called this company and Brandon had asked to send pictures so he could estimate a quote.  At this point, I had two other quotes who were priced very high.  Brandon came back extremely reasonable, but wasn't able to get out to my house until after the weekend, on Monday.  I explained I had that it was an emergency and I am not sure I could wait that long.  When he heard me say that I shut off the water to the entire house, he said he'll call right back, and next thing I know, a guy (Eric) was on his way.  Couldn't be more happier with that right there.

Eric came on by, took a quick look, ran out and guy a couple of parts.  He fixed the issue within 10 minutes.  Extremely professional, quick, and explained everything to me of what he did.  

This is the first time I used this company, but certainly not the last.  Do yourself a favor.  If you're reading this review, call them up and get an estimate.  That's the least you could do.  

Thank you again Brandon and Eric.  Much appreciated!

I was very happy with the job Warren and DJ did to install our little cold water faucet.  The faucet was a little out of the ordinary, but they figured out what needed to be done and were done relatively quickly.  This was after another plumber came out and said that they would need to do extra work with extra parts in order to install it, and gave us an much larger estimate.
Warren let DJ do the work, but he was patient and guided him through the process.  

I had reached out  previously to Warren with another tiny project and he honestly told me that it was simple enough to do on my own, saving me hundreds of $.

Happy to know there is a plumber out there that you can trust!

Aqua Plumbing is not a company of plumbers. They are a well oiled team of master craftsmen

Warning: this will not be a short review. You can't boil down greatness into a couple of sentences.

I originally contacted Aqua Plumbing and Heathing to have a faucet installed outside on the front of my wall. I gathered some estimates from them and others but chose to pick Aqua based on their high ratings (well deserved) and their customer service ettiquette and super quick response times. Mike was here later that same week to look at the desired location on the front of my house, the current plumbing and the fixture I provided. He provided a fair estimate and was able to complete the work that same day in not much time at all. His attention to detail, professionalism and humor are all top-notch. He definitely went above and far beyond with providing a clean installation with a relatively simple job.

With such a great experience the first time, I decided to reach back out to have all of the plumbing from my bathroom and main drain/vent stack replaced. I also wanted to replace a leaky tee fitting that was dripping onto a black iron gas pipe directly beneath it and the gas pipe itself. This was definitely a big job in such an old house since there was cast iron, a waste/vent stack that ran outside from the bathroom and entered back through the basement to the main sewer and a lot of old school engineering involved.

No matter what challenges were thrown, unexpected leaks from bad joint connections, routing piping around windows, etc, Mike and Bobby handled everything on the fly with amazing results. Just like the previous job, the quality of the work was absolutely impeccable. Everything looks as if it came originally with the house and I can't think of anything more to improve any of the new work. It's rare that I completely trust anyone with working on my house but with Mike and crew there was never a doubt/concern in my mind. Now we have all new up to code infrastructure with room to update/repair/replace much more easily in the future. Even on post work walk through, Mike provided some recommendations to replace my water heater with a shorter model of same capacity due to how the exhaust was currently routed incorrectly. The attention to detail can not be emphasized enough!

No matter what work you're looking to have done, Aqua is the best. Period. We will be using them again for future work we have planned and recommending them others in need of plumbing work.

We called John Synder Plumbing based on his yelp reviews. Of coarse there's always a few sour eggs in the reviews, but we over look those who just don't get it. John responded very quickly and had his team out to the house the very next day. Our case was not an emergency so there was no need for immediate response. We had some blockage issues and John himself was able to assess and had an estimate right away. They arrived at the scheduled time and quickly got our problems resolved. He had to dig up the main line outside the home and install a clean out. Big job! They explained everything they were going to do and it went very smooth. The yard doesn't even look like it was touched. I already have recommended him to some neighbors who were inquiring about his work. They were clean, efficient and extremely courteous. I am a very satisfied customer! Good honest working guys is a rarity these days, so I was happy to have found them and to recommend them too. Good  professional hard working guys!  Thank you to John Snyder Plumbing and Heating and his team. Good Job!

It's my second time using them. First time Kit fixed garbage disposal that I thought needed to be replaced at a fraction of the cost. That's when he earned my trust. This time I called for a faucet installation and I needed someone who know what he's doing. I was worried that gold finish  could be scratched during installation. It turned out even better then expected. Completely happy with service.

Their prices are ridiculous. Firstly I think they are incredibly dishonest. They always send someone who's good at talking to you and giving detailed  explanation of what's needed. Whether what they recommend is needed or not is a whole different ball game. After all the sweet talking, They hit you with a big service charge. They have ripped me off several times I would recommend going with a smaller Company. Goodman plumbing has developed a market of customers and now is ripping people off

Rick came by to address some concerns I had from a previous general contractor doing some work in my shower. He gave me so much information and was so kind. He also introduced me to a great electrician who will be helping me upgrade my electrical panel. Excellent company to work with!

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!

Absolutely great service. Had a pipe freeze over the winter to our outdoor faucet. Promptly returned my call and were willing to work around my schedule to be there. Did quick work and made a distinct effort to make the smallest hole needed to fix the problem. We initially were planning on just patching the hole but, when I asked if we could have the panel installed for easy access, they were out the next day and made sure it was what I wanted prior to installing. Finally, I was having another issue with plumbing that was still under warranty with my home builder. Since getting the builder out had been a slow process, I asked him to take a look. Although he could have done he job and been paid for it, he told me truthfully that I shouldn't use him if it's still under warranty. I really appreciated their work and will recommend them to any one in the area.

Totally excellent experience with this company. Great communication, prompt service , and professional work.

Great service so far. Called them out tonight on emergency hot water heater flood. Came out within an hour and it was after 9:30pm. Keith was awesome and explained everything to me. They will be out first thing tomorrow to replace and get us back up and running. Thank you Keith.

I requested a quote for plumbing work, and they responded immediately and agreed to come out the following day. The following day arrived, and they contacted me saying they would be unable to come out during the agreed upon time, so we rescheduled for the following morning. They never arrived the following morning. I messaged them asking if they were still coming out, and received no response. I cannot speak on the actual quality of their work, but I can say in my experience, they are not reliable.

Great price for Cherry Hill! Team was friendly and communicative throughout the process and the work looks great. Highly recommend.

Great experience this morning. Came within an hour of my call to unclog my curb trap (my basement utility sink had been filling up with waste water as a result of a neighboring pavement/tree removal job, so I wanted the job done as soon as possible). Within 20 minutes, it was fixed at a reasonable price. Was honest, informative, friendly, and explained every step to me, plus gave me some helpful tips for maintenance and prevention. I'll definitely be using My Plumber as my go-to plumber now.

My tankless water heater was not working properly.  Mr Rooter was able to come out the next day and diagnose the problem and helped me get the repair done under my warrant. Tyler A was on time, professional and fully explained the issue. He was able to get the part and make the repair within 24 hours. I highly recommend Mr Rooter

Used Yelp to find a plumber and I'm glad I gave this company a chance although the ratings were low.

Kevin responded quickly and came out within a day- which was much needed.

Very responsive and quoted me a great price.
Kevin was the worker who came out and he was friendly and explained exactly what needed to be replaced and showed me the finished product after.

I would recommend this business and would be using them again.
