Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I don't really review many businesses on Yelp, but for this one I felt like they deserved it too much to not take 5 mins to write one out.

I'm a first time homeowner who has absolutely no clue what he is doing. When I got a few plumbing issues literally a week after buying the house, Cherry Hill Plumbing responded quickly. Randy came out and fixed every issue, explained them thoroughly, and charged me less than I expected for the work that was done and the equipment that was installed. My dog really liked him too, and he is a good judge of character!

Pleasant guys, fair prices, quality work. I'd highly recommend. Based on my experience with them this time around, I'll be a customer for all future needs.

We've had a bunch of vendors come and tell us to replace our boiler, but John came out and recommended getting a cleaning because the boiler is still functioning. He also offer replacement options as well, so we appreciated the multiple options. He was very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. He spent time explaining to me how everything worked and even fixed items outside of the initial scope of work.

Plumbing problems can become a nightmare. So when I need authorized state approved plumbing done in my home, I call Tom. When I don't need the job to be approved by any utility company, I do it myself or call Jimmy ;)

The potential nightmare of DIY plumbing could be devastating. Our last project was a broken water main pipe. As a home owner, I'm responsible for fixing the water pipe outside my house all the way to the valve at the curb. There is a flat metal lid covering the valve in our front yard, on the thin strip of grass between the sidewalk and the road. That lid covers the valve that turns off the water so I can replace the pipe. My father in law had replace a broken water main himself (and 7 other guys with shovels), so I considered it as a possible option. And I may have been able to rent a backhoe. cl. But, the risk of ruining my house was too great so we called Tom.

Tom works with a mechanical contracting unit. The man can't do everything himself. When they were digging, a neighbor was walking down the sidewalk and is hard of sight. These guys held his hand and walked him around the site. They even replaced the broken sidewalk tile with a new one. Which goes above and beyond, in my book.

Thanks Tom, Sean, the two other guys who I did not meet and the Peco guys who had to come back out to fix the gas line that was hit. Which is funny because when Peco marked the line, it wasn't going to be where they found it.

Good thing I didn't do this job myself. Thanks Tom.

peace,

Very professional company. I had to have major plumbing work done due to a broken exterior water pipe.  I had a new water tank installed also. Mr Edmondson's office informed me of the City of Philadelphia's Help Program
thru the Water department. It is an interest free loan. Saved me money. Speaking to the City inspectors Mr Edmonson is very respected. I tell you,  this man is honest so you can trust him. The employees arrived on time as scheduled and what impressed me more was that Mr Edmondson came also!!. They did excellent work. I highly recommend this company.

Contacted Davis for the first time yesterday.  Not an emergency but I did get a next day appointment.  TJ was great!  Professional and a very nice guy. Diagnosed the problem, explained what needed done and gave me a price up front.  He went above and beyond the basic repair to make sure everything was in good working order and would stay that way.   A very thorough and professional job.  I highly recommend Davis Plumbing.

Always do great work. I have never had a problem with them and they are very reasonable. They always respond quickly and really are knowledgeable and they don't take short cuts.

Joseph DeLuca of DeLuca Plumbing just completed my bathroom renovation/remodeling.  He is not only an excellent plumber; he is also an outstanding craftsman and has a wonderful eye for design and style.  Throughout the remodeling process, Mr. DeLuca was on site every day, working diligently to complete the bathroom.  He kept in touch, explained everything, provided expert advice, and was always available for questions.  The service he provided was simply outstanding, and he completed the work on time and on budget.  The entire experience was flawless, as is my new bathroom!  Mr. DeLuca is dedicated and takes great pride in his work.  He installed new walls, ceramic tile, exhaust fan, lighting, vanity, toilet, faucets, shelves, towel bars, floor, and created a custom shower.  He took a personal interest in the bathroom; he even helped me put up the shower curtain!  He wanted it to not only be functional, he wanted it to be beautiful - and it is!  Mr. DeLuca also treated my home with the utmost respect, as if it were his own home.   I highly recommend DeLuca Plumbing for not only remodeling, but for all plumbing needs.  He is an old school plumber, a master of his craft, and dedicated to his customers.  He does not try to upsell or recommend unnecessary work, nor did he recommend overly expensive products.  He takes great pride in his work and he is an honest, decent person.  Whether you need an entire remodel or just a smaller plumbing repair, I highly recommend DeLuca Plumbing.

I was so impressed with John Luke plumbing that I was compelled to write a review.  Tom came to our home to give us an estimate on a new hot water heater.  He was extremely honest, letting us know that we don't need a new one right away, provided reasonable pricing (especially when compared to the other quotes I received), and took the time to answer all of my questions.  I can't say enough good things; when we do anything plumbing related moving forward, John Luke will always be my first call!

Have been a customer for more than a decade. Will never use another plumber. They are courteous ,  professional and always on time.

JKM Plumbing is always quick to respond to phone calls and has performed several jobs for me - each of which has been done professionally and competently. I am always looking for contractors I can trust - JKM is certainly one of them.

Rik and Mike remodeled my tiny bathroom in South Philly.  From a previous remodel, I had a leaky shower stall that that was tiled and grouted poorly, and they were careful to demo the problematic walls and floor, while salvaging tile on opposing walls, storage cabinets and cubbies, and a medicine cabinet that I wanted to keep.  

When the floor came up, we discovered a rotted subfloor, compromised joists and some water damage.  This was not something we had budgeted for in the initial estimate, but Rik recognized that the new priority was structural integrity and was reasonable about additional costs for sistering compromised joists, moving water lines, and giving me a new subfloor.  

When there were new issues or detours they had to take (the bathroom is in a 100 year old building), Rik ran all changes by me and let me know what options (and their respective costs) we had.  At one point, he even brought in a structural guy to double check the direction he recommended we take on those compromised joists.

Post demo and remediation, they installed everything I had bought for the project - the new toilet, the new shower stall, new shower walls, new vanity, new fixtures and new tiling on the floor.  That part of the project took the amount of time Rik had estimated, and the only time-related hiccups were caused by the rotting subfloor and joist sistering, which were not foreseen.

Rik understood that my number one priority was making sure that the shower was watertight, and he pointed out different steps during the way that we accomplished that goal.  I'll update this review periodically to let you know how watertight it remains.  

Finally, there was the issue of construction debris.  Rik and Mike did this work in late July and early August of 2020, when the city's sanitation department was racked with COVID-19 and some trash pickup did not occur on schedule.  While they put debris in large white bags labeled contractor bags and expected the city to haul them off.  However, once city services resumed, the sanitation department (for 2 consecutive weeks) would take all trash EXCEPT the contractor bags and the old toilet Rik and Mike had placed at the curb.  

When I notified them of this, Rik did the right thing.  Even though our financial dealings with one another were in the rear view mirror and the new bathroom had been completed for nearly 2 weeks, he swooped by 48 hours later to pick up the debris and properly dispose of it.  

In all, I was very pleased with Rik and Mike's work, and I would hire them again.

I had a pipe valve burst behind my shower and it was leaking for several hours. I had it repaired but it uncovered/caused two additional leaks in my house, one of which made my bathroom unusable. I asked Ray to come out and give me a quote for some major work including replacing my sewer drain pipe from my second floor to the basement. He gave me a great quote and some advice for what needed to be done. I could tell that he was an expert at the work that needed to be done so I hired him to complete the work. He did an amazing job and I'll be calling him for any future plumbing work that is needed!!

Jamal has team complete a stucco project on part of the house that previous was windows and replaced with a wall. Jamal was reasonably priced, on time and delivered great work. The new stucco transitions very well into the existing stucco. Very happy customer!

Made an appointment for their $49.00 tune-up special. Took the day off from work to wait for them. 30 minutes before the end of the appointment window I get a call saying that the technician is running very late. I waited 4 hours, but couldn't wait longer because of time commitments. Can't keep using up time off to wait for people who don't show. I recommend to use someone more reliable.

We needed a gasline extended to convert from an electric to gas stove.  We were able to connect with DPP and they sent the team of Joe and Eddie. They reviewed and inspected the work needed.  They gave us the price and outline of the work process. We were thrilled that they could start work immediately and be finished in about (3) hours. They were professional, meticulous and clean in their work. They explained the process and informed us in their progress. I would recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.  Job well done
