Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Jack from Drainmen came  late one evening to assess a leak from the kids bathroom onto the kitchen ceiling. Gave an estimate, and scheduled a time to come back within 48 hrs. Found a solution and fixed the leak. Great craftsmanship, reasonable pricing and honesty from Jack make these guys recommended highly from me.

Quality pro was one of three companies I called for a recent plumbing issue at home. I was immediately impressed with Mike's honest take on what required to be done. He didn't push unnecessary add ons and quickly gave me a rough estimate. We scheduled the appointment for the next day and Julian was prompt, courteous and pleasant. He confirmed Mike's diagnosis and completed the job efficiently. The best part - when one of the repairs developed a small problem overnight I called Mike early the next morning and he had Julian respond within a few hours. Julian promptly diagnosed and fixed the issue and stayed to ensure that we were satisfied with the job. Quality Pro - Honest, efficient, reasonable and reliable - What more could you ask for!

I love these guys.  They are everything you would want in a plumber - very responsive, super experienced and reliable.  We had a bad leak in our shower that showed up as a lot of water on our first floor ceiling.  Bob quickly found where it was coming from and fixed it when I thought he was just coming to take a look and give an estimate.  Have used them for a long time.

Answered phone after hours and tried to squeeze me in. His son and him were great. Would highly recommend!

The employee that came to fix my water heater told me that what he had just spent 2 hours doing would not likely help, and suggested I call the office if I had bill related questions.  So I called to talk to Dave Ellis, who yelled at me for calling to complain.  When I politely asked him to not yell at me, he got angrier.  I spoke calmly and reasonably, and was shocked by Mr. Ellis's response.   The secretary called back the next day and offered to lower the bill and said that Dave was just having a bad day, and that I should understand that people just get frustrated sometimes.  I asked her to have Dave call me to resolve it since I may have to talk to him again in the future.  He just installed a brand new system in my home and I wanted to be assured that I can call in again if there is a problem without getting yelled at.  I never heard back, even with a follow up email.  So I am left with the understanding that Mr. Ellis has no interest in treating his customers with respect.

I had a pipe freeze on Xmas and was desperate to have someone come out asap, since we didn't have any water all day. Keith was responsive, came out right away, replaced the broken pipe and I'm back in business. I really appreciated communicating through the app, and as well via text. I hate calling places. I'm so impressed, I scheduled more work to be done with Keith, that I had been delaying for months. Thanks again!

In May, the sewer started leaking a bit, and the basement smelled.
Having no plumbing problems in the past (purchased a rehab), I googled plumbers for a non-emergency repair.

Tony came out and told me the water was NOT a sewer leak. That the source was a water-line problem and the smell was street-side requiring 1000's in excavation.
The very next day the basement flooded, with sewer water, because (shock) the sewer line was clogged.

Tony came out and for $300 pulled out a single tampon.  He claimed that one item caused a clog in a main sewer pipe... He did not re-snake, run a videoscope or do anything else.  

The problem which he was called for, the smell, was not solved.  It got worse, so I assumed it was the result of the flooding, and treated the basement for mold. It didn't help.

In July, the basement flooded again. This time far more at about 1/4 inch deep. Tony, laughing, refused to come out.

It cost me $60 to rent an auger to get the clog cleared. It caused about $1000 in damages, 2 weeks to clean.

For $300 Tony's sloppy self missed a quart of tampons. 31 to be exact - an entire box minus one tampon he found- a former tenant flushed into the toilet. The smell is gone, of course.

Oh, I-fixd-it, alright. Tony didn't.

Please, hire someone else.

Edit: the response includes numerous ad-hominem accusations, the least that I am not a real customer. Included is that they guarantee their work. I had to tread ankle knee for several hours in the value of THAT guarantee.

Simply the best! Keith and son are responsive and care for each of their clients. Professional, courteous, and reliable. We have found our new go to plumbing professionals.

Our trash service doesn't do bulk pickup so I needed someone to haul away our old mattress and box springs. Sunny responded quickly to my request with an estimate and available pickup times. Showed up as promised, was courteous and professional and got the job done quickly for a very reasonable price. Next time I need something hauled away, he'll be my man.

Positive experience. Good selection. Guy offered serveral brands of circulator pumps, ultimately went with Taco 007 which was already on my boiler

Our toilet cracked all the way down the side and they came out and replaced it in under an hour. I was happily surprised at the bill too. Customer for life!

These guys fixed a leaky tub faucet for us.  The first visit cost a LOT for such a small quick job and the faucet leaked again in a few days. They sent a second, different guy out for free and we haven't had a leak since. Based on this evidence I would say you have a 50/50 chance of success.

Bought a house and needed the furnace/boiler checked prior to the winter season.  Was also having some issues with the system in general.  I called the  company that had serviced the equipment for years (The previous owner had highly recommended) and they no showed on me twice but called me back to see if I wanted to buy a service plan.  (!?!).  That was enough for me.  I started the hunt for a new Heating guy.

Out of desperation I asked a friend for a referral and she recommended G.J. Stimmler and sons.  (She raved about them and how honest they were)  I'm very happy that she referred them.  In no time, I had the owner Andy and his assistant on my doorstep and the furnace was being cleaned and inspected.  They identified the cause of my problems and replaced an electrical part.  The bill was very reasonable and I never felt like they were rushing to get to the next job.  

This is a local, family owned company that's a couple of generations in the making.  I can see why they have endured.  The entire time they were working, Andy answered my barrage of questions about hot water heating systems in general and my 36 year old boiler in particular.  I asked when it should be replaced.  Clearly, there are no high pressure sales tactics here.  I was told my system is past it's normal useful life of 30 years but that it's been very well maintained and does not look it's age at all.  He said it was a coin toss and that the boiler  could last for a few years more or die in a few months. There's just no way to know.  He simply suggested putting money away as and when I can and planning for a new system down the road.  On top of that, when I asked him if he knew of a good tree service, he gave me a name and number that worked out fantastically.

What sealed the deal for me was about a month later, I called the emergency line because my furnace went out.  Andy diagnosed the problem over the phone based on my description and told me what to do.  Heat restored.  Zero charge.  These are the only guys I will use from now on.  I cannot recommend them enough and I see their truck in the neighborhood a couple of times a week at least.

Irrelevant but interesting - I recently looked at some of the yellowed paperwork and instruction sheets that are tacked to the basement wall near the furnace.  (Most pamphlets are for equipment long since removed but they date back to the early 60's.)  These documents were added to over the years by Obsessive owners as new parts were installed/equipment replaced and they have apparently remained untouched for decades.  Being a history nerd, I took them down and sifted through them and discovered that my boiler was installed (in 1980) by none other than G.J Stimmler and Sons.  Irony!  That just gives me warm fuzzies.  One generation of a family business installed the equipment, the current generation will (eventually) take it out and replace it.  Full circle....

Excellent, reasonable and professional service! I wouldn't hesitate to call for my next plumbing need. Thanks Will!

My yard drain was clogged. James Fay was recommended to me so I called. I got a return call within 30 minutes and Terry was at my home within 2 hours.  Initially he could not unclog the drain from the yard but after examining the pipes in the basement he was able to open the cap and snake through until the line was clear. I found everyone professional. Thank you for this quick turn around. I will definitely use the company again, should the need arise, and also highly recommend them.

Have been using Ben's ProServ for the last several years for my heating and air conditioning needs.  They always do a great job whether it is an installation, repair, or an annual tune-up of equipment.  They are reliable and always courteous.
