Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

My water heater needed replacing. After my umpteenth headache with my home warranty company (and the typical dragging of feet that came with their hired contractor), I reached out to JB Plumbing, based purely on the Yelp reviews. After hanging up the phone, Mark was at my door within an hour (!!!), gave me a diagnosis and price, and offered to replace the water heater that day. (They were actually more available that day than I was.)

Mark and I kept in touch via text, sorting out the time and payment arrangements. Less than 24 hours from initially contacting them, I had a new quality water heater. Brian and his crew even checked out our boiler, which had also stopped working, and gave a lot of helpful advice.

When dealing with a home warranty company, it's easy to forget how a company can actually be responsive, responsible, and efficient. JB Plumbing is the real thing.

I had a mystery leak from a toilet that I couldn't fix myself, so I reached out to Economy via their online form and heard back from Travas within the hour. They were able to get someone out within two days to fix the leak and replace a the part causing the issue, while other places estimated a 1-2 week wait. Tim was pleasant and got the job done very quickly - highly recommended!

Brandon is great! He was very responsive, and was able to fit me in soon after I called him. He gave me a very reasonable set quote to replace my kitchen faucet and completed the work quickly with no problems. I also showed him around the house to other things that needed to be done and he was helpful in explaining and advising and gave me a quote for those items as well. I would highly recommend him!

I called and asked for a written estimate because that's what businesses usually do, I was willing to pay for one but was denied because I wasn't sure who I wanted to hire for the job...Warren told me what he thought the problem might be, gave me a price and asked me to text him my info, I received no response after that. I sense a little arrogance with this company, No Thanks and  moving on to the next one...

Billy and his team are great. There were some issues with a subcontractor and Aqua went ABOVE and BEYOND to address the issue. I'm so grateful for this wonderful company and the excellent work they did.

I'd give 10 stars if I could. The guys just finished. Respectful, knowledgeable and clean. With my sink out of commission during the holiday, John reached out within minutes of posting on Yelp. An hour from that these guys showed up. Not over priced at all. So happy to know there are true service providers that get the job done without killing you with an astronomical bill.  Super pleased and will keep them in speed dial (showing my age lol)  for this old house will probably need them again. Only bad thing now I have to resume cooking. Lol thank you for everything!

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.

This weekend Philadelphia experienced a heat wave with record breaking highs. I have a very old dog with severe health issues who was not doing well during this weather.

I tried contacting numerous emergency HVAC services, but due to the high demand no one was available. I finally got in reach with Goodman Plumbing, and they were offering to come right away. Our unit is on the roof, and they still offered to come first thing the next day. They were honest and responsive, and seemed empathetic to our situation.

The guys who arrived were quick to get the job done. They located the problem and solved it quickly and effectively. My realtor, who was an absolute terror during all of this, was arguing with me over the phone and trying to get out of paying for it. They took notice to that, and offered to reduce the price for me. They made a terrible situation much much better and I would recommend this service to anyone!!

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!

Mike Miller is outstanding!  He was recommended by a friend.  We used him because the contractor through Home Warranty didn't fix the problem but made it worse.  Mike was honest, professional and even recommend I buy a part to save money!  In the end, he found more issues but fixed them all and came back to spend a full day replaced three shutoff valves whose packing nuts were leaking with levers using copper pipes, installed a flood stop shutoff valve, installed PRV and expansion tank, replaced valve at main and installed new kitchen sink faucet.  Two weeks later the flood stop shutoff valve did its job since suddenly we had a slow leak under the hot weater heater. I called Mike who came out that day and replaced the tank that suddenly went.  Highly recommended! A professional plumber who does top notch work at reasonable prices (lower than others). Thanks Mike.

John made a repair to my house heater, which solved  the problem..  However, 4 days later  PGW came to house in response to my call to them of gas leak.  PGW shut off gas to  heater.  It  couldn't be used due to gas leak.  Called John 4 times to ask him to return and see what was wrong.  He never returned phone calls.     Called another plumber and  I bought a new heater and it was installed the next day.  Never did hear from John.  That could have been a nice sale for you John but you were a no show   Jan 18, 2017

Showed up on time and was extremely friendly but didn't address or fix my issue after I explained my leak in detail (tech seemed like he was in a hurry).  I also called regarding another issue and was told I would get a callback- it's been 2 months and I'm still waiting....

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.

Our garbage disposal broke so I sent out inquiries via Yelp. Within minutes, Zip to Zip called and scheduled an appointment to come the next morning. They arrived exactly when they said they would down to the minute. They did a great job replacing the garbage disposal and the price was very fair. If I have any more plumbing needs I will definitely hire them again!

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.

Mike was quick to reply to my text, and came out the next day during the window he said he would. He called 15 minutes in advance, looked at my leaky house faucet, and repaired it on the spot in about 10 minutes. He was friendly, funny, and the price was great (another recommended company estimated the project at more than 3x the price). Definitely going to call him again if I need plumbing help.

Kevin was on time, professional And courteous. I needed a simple drain cleaning. Very affordable. Highly recommend.

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.
