Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Its hard to find an honest plumber, so when I had an issue at my house, I was concerned.  Their price was fair and I got an appointment for the same day while other local plumbers had me wait for days.  Kevin was awesome, he explained the process and  was professional.  He didn't just throw out any number, he explained the procedure and had written documents which justified his assessment.  They stand behind their work 100%.  The receptionist was friendly and called back to check up the on us after the job was completed.  I felt so satisfied with their work that, i signed up my office as well.  Excellent service all around.  Thank You !!!  A++++++++++++++++

Quick and complete!-good job done. Steve was a pleasure to work with and fixed our issues right away

Fantastic service. Chad was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very friendly and a pleasure to have him service my problem. I am very confident I will be using Moser service as my Plumber and I highly recommend them. AAA+++.

I've been looking for an honest old-fashioned plumber who does the job you want done.
Bob's knowledge of plumbing exceeds anything I could've ever expected from a plumber at his rates. The savings that I experience with Bob allowed me to get a little extra work done without going over budget and I would believe anyone would appreciate that.
If you need a plumber from simple to sophisticated this is the guy you need!

I have been a customer of Newtown Plumbing for many years and the service has always been outstanding. Dan always calls back immediately and is quick to start the job. He even helped me find quality products so I didn't have to shop around at Home Depot or expensive boutiques.

Jason is a pleasure to work with-- I had called him after getting his coupon in the money mailer bc I was afraid that I had a major problem with my toilet.  He was on time, showed me his plumbing license, and spent a lot of time with me, Answering all of my questions.  Luckily, the problem wasn't a problem after all.   He is also not the kind of plumber whose gonna charge you an arm and a leg, which I really respect and appreciate in this day and age. Now I know in the future, who to call, if and when there is a problem! He also rescues dogs and other animals, which to me, is a win win. I would recommend him to anyone.

Just had the House Doctor team, Kerry and Roy, come in and replace our water heater tank, and I'd recommend them to anyone who has any plumbing, electrical, carpentry problems that they need a capable team to complete it. They were personable and professional gentlemen, and really did an amazing job, complications and all.

Really had difficulty finding a plumber that I felt I could trust as I'm unfamiliar with the work that needed to be done. I had searched Yelp, Home Advisor, Home Depot, and even Amazon Home Services (AHS), but wasn't satisfied with the polarized reviews of some of the plumbers I read about. Eventually, I stumbled on the House Doctor through AHS where they had excellent reviews, but discovered that they were no longer on that platform. So, I did a quick google search and found them on Home Advisor where it reflected the same enthusiasm for their work. I finally felt somewhat comfortable moving forward with them and have not regretted that decision.

Basically, our water heater had no way of getting out of our basement closet without breaking down a wall / doing some demolition work AND it was going to be very difficult to transport both the old and the replacement water tanks. They got creative with the solution and only had to take out part of the door framing to get it out, cut some piping, cleaned up the area, brought in the new unit, and re-positioned the piping to connect to the new unit. After cleaning up the area and re-installing the door framing, they left the set-up better than it had been before, leaving everything in perfect, working condition.

Kerry and Roy were both personable and funny, but when it came to the work and costs, they didn't play any games. Kerry is not only capable in plumbing, but also electrical work, carpentry, and other areas, so I will definitely be working with him going forward and recommend him to anyone who has any related problems. They don't call him the House Doctor for nothing!

Thanks again guys!

edit: total costs around $2,000, a bargain for the great work they did. Your mileage may vary.

We had a plumber out just to permanently close off some pipes that had been attached to a wetsink. While he was here, he shut off the water and turned on the faucets to clear the water (all standard). However when he turned the water back on our upstairs shower was running and the door was open and he didnt check it. The water flooded our bathroom and caused damage to our kitchen ceiling which now needs to be replaced. We called about an hour after the plumber left, were transferred to him, and his suggestions was buy new drywall and replace the ceiling yourself.
Since this visit I have called and left messages numerous times but keep being told Rick the supervisor isnt in. We used this company many times in the past but obviously will not again, I am shocked at the lack of customer service and accountability for the damage caused.

Arrived on schedule.  Good efficient diagnosis - proper fix at a fair price. What else would you want?

Amazing service. Super fast and professional.  It was easy to get an appointment and they were so friendly. Will use again without hesitation.

We used Palmiero Plumbing on two occasions. At first Joe was very responsive and came out to the house to fix the problem quickly. The bill was more than we had anticipated and more than we had paid other plumbers for similar work in the past, but the quality of the work was good. We paid for the work on the day the work was finished. We later had another plumbing problem in the barn. This time Joe was slower to respond and missed coming out as promised a few times without calling to let us know. We then discovered that the automatic waterers no longer worked after Joe had repaired the other problem in the barn. We then called Joe again. He promised to come out many times, but each time he has missed the appointment and didn'teven have the courtesy to call. We have now been hauling water for two horses by hand for three weeks, and it's getting old! We now must find another plumber to fix the problem in the next two weeks before we go on vacation so the horsesitter doesn't have to haul heavy water buckets. Bottom line... work is good but expensive and communication is virtually nil.

My sump pump motor broke and Bukowski came right out and replaced it.  They were not that ones who installed it origionally, but they came and put a new one in and it works great.  Then I called them back (Robert), and had them run a new line for me (pvc) to redirect the water from the sump pit into another location.  They work fast, and its quality.  Very happy I met them and will call them back in the future!

Joe went above and beyond when our tankless water heater broke. He came out right away, and quickly identified the issue. He came back the next day to install the part and our water issues were solved! The price was fair, and Joe was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only did he fix our issue, but entertained as he went. I would recommend Joe to anyone in the Philadelphia area.

As luck would have it, our water heater sprang a leak the day before our house was scheduled to go up for sale. Pafumi replaced it on very short notice; we called them in the morning, explained that we were moving out and had just listed the house, and they came out a couple of hours later. The workers were pleasant, professional and did a good job. We knew their rate was higher than most, but since we were ready to leave the state we felt the quick response made it a fair trade-off.  BUT .... cut to 6 weeks later: we've moved to No. Carolina, have a buyer for the house, and closing is a week away. Our realtor meets the certificate of occupancy inspector at the house and at some point he asks about the permit on that new water heater. She calls us to inquire about it, and I'm dumbstruck. I called Pafumi to ask if they'd applied for a permit, and the lady says indignantly, OH no, we don't do that. That's on you, that's on the homeowner. I said no one had even suggested to us that we'd need to apply for a permit after the installation, and asked if they normally mention that detail to their customers. She said, again with what sounded like a lot of attitude, I know I don't, and I don't think my techs do either. Like I said, that's on YOU! I suggested that they might want to mention it in the future, since water heater permits/inspections are evidently required, and she replied Most people don't want to bother with them anyway. Huh? I don't WANT to bother with it, or to pay taxes either, for that matter, but it's the law! And now we're living 10 hours away and can't sell our house without that missing permit. I explained the situation to her and she did get somewhat more helpful at that point. She offered to ask Mr Pafumi to fill out the paperwork, but said it wouldn't be till 'at least Monday' (it was Friday afternoon). The clock was counting down on settlement, so I called the permit office to see if I could do anything to get the process underway but they told me that until the contractor fills out 'the jacket', there's nothing the homeowner can do. So obviously even if we'd known about the need for a permit, Pafumi had to initiate the process. The whole mess would've resulted in a postponed closing if it wasn't for our incredibly resourceful realtor, Lynn Stambaugh at Cardinal Realty, who met Pafumi at their office door first thing Monday morning, hand-carried the application to the W. Deptford code office, begged/pestered/cajoled and somehow got it processed, paid for, inspected and approved in record time, and then coaxed the CO inspector back to the house to reinspect on the very last business day before settlement. Of course the water heater did pass inspection; like I said, the workers had done a good job and they did it quickly. Hence the two stars here instead of one, which is what I feel the company really earned by playing dumb about the need for permits, and adding a ton of down-to-the-wire tension to what was already a stressful situation.

I used horizon last year for a tune up and was pleased with the service. So, I enrolled in the priority partnership plan for $18.00 per month, that would cover my heater and air conditioner. I thought I would also be using the for my plumbing needs as well and would not have to worry about service in emergency conditions. Well, today Dec 31,2017 I had no hot water.  I called for service thinking they would send someone out today. However, after a fifteen minute wait and being disconnected once, I was told by a dispatcher that no one could come out until Monday 1/8/2018 more than a week away. Apparently my priority service is only for the heater and air conditioner.  My brother recommended this company and if it had worked out I would have also suggested to  other members of our large family. Now, I will be looking for another provider after waisting  $240.00  paid over the past year.   I wonder, if it was a heating problem when or if they would have shown up. The hold point of the plan was peace of mind. Needless to say there is none.

Did work for us two years ago. Horrible horrible work. Guy did not know what he was doing. Said he come back to fix the problem never did. Billed us and when we called company to get them to finish the job they stopped taking our calls. Then sent us to collections. Never had us sign off in the job or give us a receipt.

Affordable Plumbing is Ultra Professional!
They call back right away, the times I have used them they arrived earlier then they advertised. Their prices work with your budget, they work fast, they don't need to guess about what the problem is and avoid the wrong fix. When they have serviced our apartment building, we have not needed to call them back for the same problem.

AAAA++++ Highly Recommend!

If I could give zero stars I would ...a little back story ..
So I called in to have a job done , replace a curb stop the women on the phone sends me an estimate/contract to my email and it don't look right so I call back and explain again what is needed and she tells me that a curb box install includes a curb stop shut off valve .... not working here or being a plumber myself I take her word at face value and have to assume she knows what she is talking about .after calling 3 times to confirm. Boy was I wrong , so the 2 guys pull up on a Saturday morning over an hour late by the way appointment was 9-10 they show up at 11.
They don't have the parts to do the job on his truck .
He calls his boss and the order is wrong as I try to explain what I was told he gets an attitude with me like I wrote the order wrong .and tells me it's gonna be $500 more
So the short end is shit customer service , that can't keep an appointment and gives u an attitude instead of fixing the problem their staff caused
The guys that came out were cool and apologetic but over all this company is the worst . I would not recommend them for anything ...
