Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

So the worst happened after Hurricane Irene, and my parent's basement flooded and they needed a new water heater and furnace.  JB Plumbing was called once again, and they went out of their way to accommodate my family's busy schedule.  My mother also reported that the work was superb, and they carefully thought through how to replace the furnace and got extra workers to get the work done quickly and on time.  My mother was especially impressed by the fact that without asking they mounted the water heater and furnace on cement blocks so they would not be affected by future flooding.  Excellent work, and communication from JB Plumbing, workers were polite and hardworking.
Special thanks for taking care of my family so far away from me.

Travis was quick and friendly and unclogged our patio drain in minutes! He came out within 1.5hrs of initial phone call on a Saturday. Thanks Travis and Economy Drain!!

I needed someone to assemble my 12 ft Christmas Tree. It weighs nearly 200 pounds and needed to be carted from the basement to the first floor. Within 3 hours of my posting I had an appointment with A-1 Handyman and Home Plumbing. Brandon and his uncle arrived this morning ahead of schedule and within 45 minutes had the tree together and did not break a sweat. Brandon was great. He is polite and respectful and obviously someone who takes pride in his work. He was careful to leave the house as clean as when he arrived. I will keep his number handy for other home repairs that may be needed.
I should also add that he typically does not like to work in my area because of the parking. He likes taking care of Yelp customers so he did agree to complete the job.

I had a cracked trap under bathroom sink so I bought the trap and a faucet to replace the old ones. He gave me a price of 295 to replace the trap which is the U shaped part that I bought by the way. But the 295 was ok...but he then said in order to install the faucet it would be over 700 hundred dollars.  All the while never getting out of his van but instead sent his worker in to check it out. I don't know if the job was too small for him so he over priced it but he clearly wasn't interested in working that job unless I overpaid for it. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

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 was in a crunch for time and John was quick to respond, on a Sunday at that. He fit me in the next day and worked around my schedule. After immediately determining what the issue was, he was able to be in and out in under an hours time. Luckily, he had the right parts in his truck and was able to completely replace the garbage disposal in that time.

I also want to mention that I'm new to repair work and issues like this so he was very thorough and walked me through the issue at hand. Would definitely use John's services again!

You can 100% trust this company. Fair prices, fair service and the owner is there to help, not to gouge you like other companies that told me I had to replace my disposal. Feel free to call other companies like I did, but this one is best.

What can I say about this company.  They came out to correct work on two different jobs that two different WELL KNOWN plumbers did at my elderly mother's home.

Their fast and courteous  and STAR QUALITY SERVICE  is  A1 in her book.  Bill is very knowledgeable in his craft.  We will DEFINITELY be using them again.  GOD BLESS GOODMAN PLUMBING!!!!! A WORK OF ART!!!

This is 3rd time we used Rick.  Always responsive and communicates.  First rate work and our projects are not easy  Meticulous and very reasonable rates.

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!

I had Valdel replace four toilets and install a kitchen sink faucet.  The work was all done promptly and professionally, and we've had no issues ~6 months later.

However during removal of one of the old toilets, the plumbing technician dropped one of the old toilets down our stairs, causing some damage to our hardwood floored stairs and the marble tile in our entryway.

Valdel fully covered the costs for the necessary flooring repairs. They were helpful and responsive to work with during the process of selecting contractors and having the repairs done.

Accidents can always happen, so it is good to know when a company is willing to take responsibility and handle incidents in a professional manner.  I would be more than willing to work with Valdel again based on my experiences.

A great job installing new technology, a no tank water purifier!
Good value, timely and clean!

Great company, installed water heater and bidets for my toilets. Ensured no damage was done to floors while hauling away old one. Reasonable pricing and quick responses, highly recommended.

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.

We've used the My Plumber services a couple of times now.  Mike is our usual guy, and most recently both Bernie and Mike came to help us with our wobbly toilet.  They've done an amazing job every time and are very easy to get ahold of, which I really appreciate.  We will only use their services for our house and I highly recommend you do the same!

Mr. Rooter plumbing was great. We had a huge crack in our sewage line into the concrete. They were able to give a consultation same day and snaked the drains same day as well. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They even followed up with us and were able to schedule their work in the same week. They came 2 days in a row to drill into the concrete, remove the old plumbing and insert new PVC pipes. They did a great job and for a reasonable price. All their workers are very friendly as well.
The only thing that wasn't 5-star worthy is they left some old piping in our front lawn for a couple of days. We were told someone would come pick them up next day but we had to bug them for a couple of days to come get it.

Vinko came out quick.  The job was on our old house with a copper drain that leaked at the I bend.  Quickly shored it up and now we can use our bathroom again.  The price was also very reasonable.  No unnecessary upsells. Very appreciative of the work they did.
