Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Recently hired JB Plumbing to take care of a leak in the duplex I own/live in.  Mark was very responsive.  We had an initial appointment for the day after I called, but he ended up having an emergency sewer job and we had to reschedule.  He was very proactive in letting me know.   We rescheduled for the next day, and promptly quoted a reasonable price for the job, which thankfully wasn't too bad - just a wax seal that needed to be replaced under the first floor unit's toilet.  He was there to do it the next day, mission accomplished.  

All in all, I'd say that Mark is everything you're looking for in a contractor - prompt, professional, punctual, reliable, reasonable and does good work.  Nothing but good things to say.

Highly recommend! We had a big plumbing issue where we couldn't use any of our toilets in our house. So we called these guys and they had really fair prices. They had good communication throughout and finished the job well. They know what they're doing. Loved working with these guys. All really down to earth and easy to work with.

We had them come out for another job to jet our pipes. That works much better than having someone snake the pipes. Would definitely work with them again in the future

I called A-1 for a water leak issue I had with my rental property. I only had a short window to have it fixed between switching over tenants. Brandon picked up right away and had someone over to address it WITHIN THE HOUR. Very knowledgeable, quick to respond and honest work.

Excellent company! Had two professional men  come and install a new water heater, they were extremely knowledgeable and very nice too. Our water heater broke spewing water all over and we initially called rotor rooter.... don't waste your time, they do not come when they say and do not listen to your needs, Boss quoted a price in the evening and was out the next morning as they said they would and did a fantastic job! We are greatful and happy and In the future they are who we will call first. Thank you very much.

They are not thorough...they do not have appropriate equipment to do a proper job...added the cost of toilet seat removal which ended up being more than the cost of having them come out for the drain clean.
Added to all this, they did a shoddy job...I will NOT recommend them!

Very  professional services were rendered by John Snyder and team. I was in need of someone to replace a hot water heater and he came through in just a day! I found him to be fair in pricing and helpful in explaining solutions to resolving plumbing problems. I can honestly recommend him if you're looking for a plumber with integrity.

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.

I had two plumbing issues, a leaky toilet and a water heater that started throwing rust water and staining my laundry.  I got the telephone number for Goodman Plumbing from my next-door neighbors.  I called an made an appointment, and Maurice was here the next day to asses the issues and give me a price.  He returned on Monday, replaced the water heater, but because of another problem with the toilet, was unable to complete that job that day.  He came back with the necessary parts the following day, and the toilet issue was resolved.  The price was a couple of hundred dollars more due to the problem with the toilet, but it was definitely worth it to not have a leak into my kitchen.

After the job was completed, Maurice cleaned up the area and made sure everything was back in place.

Goodman Plumbing also handles heating issues, and I will be contacting them again to check my heater and repair a couple of radiators that haven't worked in a couple of years.  Again, the price is very reasonable.

I would highly recommend Goodman Plumbing to anyone!

We found Rick Lucas Plumbing on Yelp and they did a great job with our service call!

We were having some issues with our plumbing and so we got in touch in order to get a repair quote. Rick was extremely fast with getting back to us, it took around 10 minutes to hear from him which is really great. For most area providers it takes a few hours at least.

We then scheduled the job and it went very well. They gave us a heads up via text when they were on their way and showed up right on time. They were considerate about their presence and didn't cause a big disruption to our work or kids schooling schedule, which is a big deal now that a lot of people are stuck at home due to Covid-19. I also appreciated that they let me know what specific repairs they were going to do prior to doing them, just so we knew what to expect. Once they got started with the work, the job was completed in a reasonable amount of time.

I'm definitely a fan now and will use them in the future if the need arises.

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

Jack (the owners son) installed a new fixtures for my bathroom and I couldn't be happier. It took him a little longer than usual b/c of unexpected problems with the pipes and he didn't overcharge me on the count of  it. Very considerate and nice. I am very happy to have a reliable plumber (they actually called me back and came when they said they would!) I highly recommend this company.

They have no hourly rate!  The guy came to my house take a look , I paid diagnosis fee 185$  ,then just replaced shower drain they need 285$! They are pricey!

Didn't call them first, the first call would not show up. It was late, they came out they took care of it till it was done. I was very happy with their service.

Fixed leaking sink disposal unit on emergency basis. Responsive, on time, fast and accurate to the quote.

Prompt and professional.  Mark communicated frequently, was reasonable, and cleaned up leaving everything finished.

We had a problem with the spigot on our rooftop deck and called My Plumber. Mike showed up in 30 minutes and diagnosed our problem. The spigot was not working at all, but the spigot on our outside patio was working. Mike stayed with us and helped us solve the problem within 15 minutes. We had accidentally turned off the knob in the basement three years ago and it cut off the flow to the spigot on the roof. Mike didn't charge us for the visit and he was a great guy to talk to about our plumbing issues. We highly recommend him for your plumbing service.

Thank you

We contacted Mr. Rooter about the bathroom being clogged up for the whole house.  They were responsive and came out the next day.  They texted us a picture of the technician along with the name which is a nice touch so we know exactly who's coming and what they look like.

The technician was able to found the issue which was an old pipe that partly collapsed which caused the backup.  They use the camera to show us that the storm line was clear and the issue is only on the sanitary line.

The average rating was because we thought there's nothing else except to replace the broken area.  We have a sewage line warranty so we call that company to have them start the replacement process.  They send out a second plumbing company to confirm the issue but this company was able to clear the line partly to provide some relief while they get the permit for the replacement.  I felt Mr. Rooter's technician should have been able to do this in their visit to help the home owner so I'm a bit disappointed given all the outstanding reviews they have.

Update 2/15: the other company was able to clear the sewage line and they report it was fine and doesn't need replacing.  I'm glad we have a warranty and didn't spend several thousands replacing something not needed.

Kevin was fantastic -- he fixed a couple sinks that had been perennial problems in our home. Don't know why we waited to fix these, but he came by, inspected them, helped us pick a replacement, and got everything installed really fast. Super nice, very communicative -- we'll definitely use his service again (and sooner this time!)
