Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Reached out to JB plumbing and heating when I had a sink leak in one of my rental units. Mark called me back within an hour, then corresponded with my tenants and had the sink fixed within 24 hours. Fast and efficient.

We called for an emergency issue and April stated she would call us back with a meeting for an estimate. We called twice and again she stated we would get back to us. Three days later , two gentlemen come by the house (one in slippers) to give us an estimate. Very unprofessional. If I'm willing to spend 5k on a job, I would at least hope I'd get a call back on time alongside someone with some sort of etiquette as far as uniform. Would not recommend to anyone.

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.

Warren and his team are terrific!  I have been searching for years for a plumber that I would recommend without hesitation, and finally found it at Boss Plumbing. So far, Warren & co have fixed a valve another plumber didn't want to touch, assessed and identified small leaks that were making a big mess (and of course repaired them), installed a new sink and faucet (including some retrofitting) and did it all with a wonderful blend of expertise and good humor.  It was a pleasure having them in my home, and I would trust Warren to professionally tackle any plumbing-related job.

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!

I noticed I had a leaking shutoff valve under my toilet, looked on yelp for plumbers and noticed Plumbing and Things had great reviews so i sent a quote request (this was on Friday evening) Kit actually called me back about an hour later. I described what was going on, he told me what the problem most likely was and gave me a price, I agree because it was a good price. He was able to come out the next morning, he was on time , very professional and was very nice. The problem was exactly what he said it was, he completed the job and even cleaned up the area. The price was what he said no add ons and no surprises. I definitely would recommend calling Kit and getting Plumbing and Things for any job you may have.

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 Lucas is the best plumber in the area hands down. Rick and I have worked together for over 25 years. Quick example - today we had a plumbing underground inspection and passed without a problem. To quote the inspector verbatim he said it's nice to deal with professionals.  Probably the best compliment around. It's a pleasure to work with Rick and I will continue to use him for all our plumbing needs!

Very responsive and quality work.  Will definitely use    Them again.  Difficult hot water heater install, but done without an issue or additional charge

He's simply honest. His work is always well done, he calls back later to make sure you're happy with it, he answers all questions in a way I can understand and never asks to speak to my husband or dad. They arrive on time, communicate well and their prices are fair. If you call for something he thinks you can do yourself, he'll flat out tell you how to trouble shoot it and to call back if you actually need him. Honest and hard working. Recommend him to all my neighbors as they move in. He's everyone's go to plumber on my block!

Billy was amazing!  He addressed a complex shower issue in our 70 year old home, with ease!  He was timely (a novelty with repair services), he gave me EVERY possible scenario before he did the work so that my husband and I could make an informed decision, and based on him being so thorough- we took a chance (given all of the potential risks) and had Billy take apart our  shower faucet to determine what we really needed.  To our relief, he was able to get everything done within a couple of hours!

Before Billy, I had the pleasure of getting my questions answered and scheduling done with the incredibly informative and patient team in the office.  Thank you Naomi (who followed up after my first inquiry when I was still deciding on which plumbing service I wanted to use), Erica (who ultimately scheduled my service), and Jennifer (for being there on service day to address all of my follow up requests).

I will definitely be using ValDel for all of my plumbing needs!

A pipe broke on Thursday (Thanksgiving).  Friday morning I entered a Yelp request for a quote from Bommer plumbing.  (Yelp site now says response is typically within 9 hours, although at the time I'd thought it was 4 hours).  Nothing back on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday in spite of their 24 hour service claim.  Early Monday morning I receive a message saying technician can't evaluate from picture and will need to come onsite to quote.  If you accept quote, $87 charge will be waived.  I can understanding wanting more info, but how about a call or request for more detail first, before charging $87 for an estimate?

Compare this to JB Plumbing, where the owner responded within 10 minutes of my request, happened to live nearby and came over to check out the situation (no charge) and then gave me options since he didn't have needed part in hand.  One of the options was to wait and see what other plumbers responded.  If no one was available, let him know and he'd send one of his techs from Phila on Saturday.  Long story short - go with JB and skip the M-F, no holiday support Bommer.

Maybe it was just an off time or they aren't set up to respond to yelp quickly, but they should say so in their listing.

I requested a quote to repair a pipe and faucet to our backyard hose line. Luan from zip to zip replied within the hour. He was kind enough to call to discuss our issue and provided a free quote. He and his team came out for repair the following day. They were extremely cordial, professional and got the job done in less than 1 hour. They also came within the expected time frame. Finding reliable plumbers in todays industry can be difficult but zip by zip made our experience seamless. They also quoted and stuck by their quote, which was less than half of the quotes I received from other companies from yelp. I highly recommend his services!

I've had Chris and his team do a number of jobs for me in the past 5 years. I've always had good results, and Chris is always very willing to explain options and choose the best solution for the job. Definitely my go-to plumber.

These guys were absolutely great! Went above and beyond- cleaned up our ceiling because it was harder to get the job done but didn't  charge more for that- when does that happen?
Straight shooters, excellent work, professional and courteous-explained everything-would highly, highly recommend.

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.

We just moved into a new house and got in touch with Kevin when our water usage was significantly higher than it should be. He fixed a major leak from the upstairs shower, and then surveyed the remainder of the house for potential sources of excess water use. Since he left, our water usage has returned to a reasonable level.  Kevin was friendly, professional, on time and efficient.  Would highly recommend!
