Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Very responsive (a rarity among contractors from my experience), friendly, professional, and fair rates. They did a great (and fast)  job replacing a toilet for me and based on this experience I would certainly recommend them to others.

Today was the fourth time I have had work done by these guys. We've had them replace our entire sewer line house to street, we had them replace our water heater, and they did some repairs and replacement of piping under the sink in my parents house. I called yesterday about installing a gas shut off valve and they were here in 20 minutes. The prices they charge couldn't be more reasonable. The work they do is quality. And the guys are some of the nicest people you could meet. If you are looking for someone to do any plumbing or heating work in your home I highly recommend Hopkins. These guys are honest, decent, affordable and extremely knowledgeable.

I have to give a shout out to our awesome plumber Mark Trimble. No he didn't tell me to write any of this but I see a lot of questions in here asking for a great plumber. I can't recommend him enough if you have a job that you need done right the first time, need to fix a job that was botched by another company (like one that rhymes with Sold Pedal), or any challenging or creative fix. Mark and his son are the guys to save the day.

They treat your house like their own. In our case, our sump pump failed and the back up too. Plus the original company who installed the connector to the townhouse drainage system did a terrible job (before we moved in) and water was splashing all back on our bricks causing damage. Mark is not the cheapest plumber but is is absolutely the best around. He can do anything, do it right, do it to code, and make sure you won't run into problems in the future by corner cutting. He knows what he is doing and stands behind his work. I think they must have come by five times for our job to quote, help us keep the basement from flooding, lent us a little manual pump, installation, and checking in to make sure it worked properly. That kind of service is rare these days.

I owned my home for several years and had no ceiling light in my living room. My home was over 100 years old, so it was originally gas lighting. Manny placed 6 recessed lights in my living room ceiling and included a dimmer switch! Then he installed baseboard electric heaters in every room including my living room. He did an excellent job and I was very happy.

I worked with Matt on a unique plumbing issue and he was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. You can trust in A&P!

I found Greg on Yelp and decided to contact him due to all the 5 stars reviews.  I needed a technician to fix a circuit breaker issue that my tenants are experiencing in one of my rental units in Philly.  Greg responded immediately and offered to pay an initial visit to assess the circuit problem.  I work in NYC so I couldn't be present during his first visit, but Greg informed me that he's used to coordinating with tenants directly.   Greg coordinated the visit without my involvement (which was great) and figured out the issue right away.  Greg, in plain English, explained the problem to me over the phone and presented me with a few options in a later email (with a recommendation on what's the practical and right fix).  

I love Greg's transparency during the entire process (how he works, his pricing and scope of work) and his accessibility (via phone, text or email).  His end product is very thorough and clean.   I even threw in a side job at him that wasn't part of the original scope (switch out an old outdoor light with a new one with photocell).

All in all, the job was done perfectly from start to finish.  What I value is his timely responses and accessibility.  Being a landlord, the most important thing I value from any service provider is reliability and dependability.   Greg has that.  I will absolutely use Greg again for my other rental properties.   I would recommend Greg to anyone (particularly landlords) who's looking for a good technician/electrician in the Philadelphia area.

Ryan and Larry came to my house to fix ceiling lights that were not working. They promptly diagnosed and fixed the problem and also gave me advice on another light issue that I had. Thanks guys!

2nd time I have used them.
They are super professional and reliable, a bit hard to get a short term appointment, but worth the wait.

I don't hire contractors often. When I do I'm extremely particular and critical. JDV did excellent work. Great pricing. Courteous. Clean. If ever I need an electrician again. I will surely call.

Amazing service from the estimate/quote to the completion of the job.

I needed to have most of my house rewired. Tony came out on a weekend to give me the quote for the job, and they were able to start the project within the week so that it would line up with my schedule. Tony, Edison, and the rest of the team came out to the house multiple times until each and every part of the job was done. Will definitely use again and would highly recommend to anyone needing work done, including large projects.

DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE.  They are the worst company EVER.  Kathy and Tiffany are the rudest people I have ever met.  They came out to our house through our warranty company and did nothing.  My walls are literally falling down from the leak that they did NOT fix.

Generation 3 Electric is the best company for your electrical needs. The people are nice, courteous, and respectful? The prices are quite reasonable. And the service is top of the line.
Chad came out to my home to provide me with a professional estimate and Joshua and David performed the work. Despite the weather working against them, their timing was perfect. During the day, Chad came by for a visit and solidified my positive thoughts about the company.
While Joshua and David were hard at work, PECO decided to pop in to switch out the meters in the neighborhood and Generation 3 again showed their worth by being a team player and working with PECO so their technician could get the meter changed out and onto they'd next house.

Great job Generation 3 Electric! I will always use you guys and spread the word!

While I didn't hire them, I found them to be very thorough in the repair explanation, extremely responsive from the first call and the written estimate very thorough. I am postponing the repair.

DO NOT use this company they are totally overpriced and will over charge you by at least 3 times the competitive rate for plumbing. Dummy me signed the estimate for a kitchen faucet replacement that took 35 minutes $862 later, mind you with my $65 applicable service fee.Called into the CS department after getting my invoice that was not itemized with the charges for the faucet and labor. Lindsay the CS manager refused to provide me with me the breakdown, told me it's a flat rate. GREAT!!! WHAT'S the flat rate?? Basically told me whatever the tech feels like charging . How is this legal let alone ethical. She applied the $50 coupon as that seems to be their solution for every complaint and removed my service agreement after she engaged with a battle of he said she said over being referred and the costs. Totally unprofessional! The end result- still no itemized invoice. I have never in my life received any receipt that did not include itemized charges. Totally UNETHICAL . I had to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in order to get my charges investigate. NEVER AGAIN.

The leak detection side of their offerings was fine.

However, I made the mistake of hiring them for their plumbing. Their plumber found the most roundabout, expensive way to resolve the issue and turned a $400-$500 fix into a $2500 fix.

Even once it was fixed, it started leaking again a few weeks later. This was supposed to be covered by my warranty, but they wanted more money.I ended up paying another $250 so they would do the fixe the way it should've been done in the first place.

If you use them to find your leak, do not under any circumstances hire them to fix anything.
