These guys at Hoffman Plumbing have saved me now - TWICE.  I live in a wooded area where roots get into my pipes.  The first time it happened time I called AJ Perri using their $99 pipe-clearing guarantee.  The guy from AJ Perri spent 1/2 a day here and opened the pipe to a trickle and considered that meeting the 'guarantee'.  He wanted to set up a camera appointment for which their office does a hard sell (check their reviews for lots of detail on THAT).  

Anyway, I then got a referral to Rich from a friend, and he responded right away and completely cleared the pipe after a much shorter period.  Fast forward 1 1/2 years and here I am with a major backup from the upstairs bathroom to the kitchen to the laundry room.  Rich returned my call within 3 MINUTES and sent a crew first thing in the morning.  His crew, Paul and Dan, were efficient, friendly and knowledgeable.  It did take a few hours, but they got the job done and the price was fair and reasonable.  

I can't give these guys a good enough recommendation.  Tere are a lot of scammers out there and we constantly have to be on the lookout.  Rich Hoffman and his crew live by the credo of a great service for reasonable pay and as a result they deserve their excellent reputation. If you need plumbing or HVAC work, you cannot go wrong with these guys.

Don't waste your time. Even after multiple tries, likely wont respond at all.

I called Richard for a small plumbing job that I expected would take less than an hour. He asked a couple of questions and was happy to give me a quote over the phone. Rather than the exorbitant fee I'd feared having worked with other local plumbers, he gave me a fair price.
Richard arrived on time, and despite complications that caused the job to take two hours, he honored his original quote.
Dealing with Richard was easy and hassle free, and he'll be my first call next time I need a job doing.

James is the BEST! I called him on short notice when a shut off valve for my kitchen faucet failed. He was very prompt did a great job changing out 3 under sink valves and was very reasonable. I will be using him again and will tell all my friends and family. Thank you James

Flo-Rite went above and beyond to provide us with quality service. Even though they were later than expected, once They arrived they installed Both our toilet and faucet perfectly. And the plumber was such a friendly guy too.

We will use Flo-Rite for all our plumbing needs moving forward!

Despite my initial disappointment, CityWide turned things around after I posted my prior review. I heard from Chris, the manager, who promptly arranged to send a technician. The technician, Peter, arrived on time and was a real professional, letting me know what needed to be done and why and, just as important, what didn't need to be done. He was transparent about pricing (which I found reasonable), did a careful and thorough job, and left the job site clean when he was finished. He also give some good advice on how to keep the drains clear going forward. I'm glad that things worked out in the end, and I wouldn't hesitate to call this company again.

I called Keith after the plumber I had been using for years was unresponsive to my calls about a leaking radiator.  What a difference!  He came when he said he would, got the job done right and charged a reasonable amount.  Since then, when I need a plumber, I call him.  When one of my pipes broke, he came right away.  He and his guys did the plumbing part of a bathroom renovation for me and did an excellent job. Since then, he replaced a water heater for me.  This is a family owned business with customers that have been coming back for years.

Joe and his wife gave up a Friday night to help my family. The service was incredible and they got me out of a HUUUUUUGE nightmare.  I can't thank him enough

Used this local company for an emergency with the cold weather.  They came out asap, we're so friendly, the owner is hands on and explained everything in detail.  
I was worried about a big bill, it was a simple problem and the price was so reasonable.  I will have this company install my new boiler soon, I'm def a new loyal customer .

Kellam and his team are extraordinary. Kellam is the most communicative, honest, clear, and straight forward handyman I have used in 15 years as a home owner. His integrity and work ethic are unparalleled. He is skilled. But most importantly, he is trustworthy.

Harlem - Well it was almost midnight and my basement was completely flooded. I had to turn off water for the entire building. Johnny answered right away, asked a few questions and knew exactly what was wrong. He arrived in about 30 minutes, opened up the sewer drain and found the problem. He was out in an hour. Very reasonable prices considering the ridiculous hour! Highly recommend!

EXTREMELY reasonable prices, showed up on time, took care of two small problems while out for a big one and didn't charge extra for them.

If I could give them no stars I would. I live in a 7-unit coop building. Once of the apartments had a clog in their kitchen. I reached out to McManus since they were local. They said they would arrive in 2-days and rectify the issue and send me the diagnostics via email. They came on a Friday, just inspected then left. They made another appointment to return on a Tuesday with the tenant. By this point, I still had no report. Tuesday came and they didn't show up. On Thursday they return, State they are pulling out lards of grease from the sink and they still won't unclog the sink. Now saying it's a building wide issue. Mind you no one else in the building has any sort of backup/clog. They stated they would send me 3 different proposal options with prices. It's been almost a week and nothing. I'm not too sure what type of business they are running, but my encounter with them has been nothing but unprofessional.

Great service from Paul C. He called to confirm the appointment, and was prompt, thorough, and efficient.

A small platoon of Ryan's army renovated the vent and drain for my kitchen, replacing old grody galvanized pipe that had nearly closed inside with all modern PVC. They also pulled out the big old clog-prone cast-iron trap, again PVC to the rescue. Let's just say the isht is flowing freely now!

The two men in this crew were unfailingly polite, listened to what I requested exactly as far as routing the pipe and patching the roof, did a very professional job, and even made truly serious attempts at cleaning up after themselves lol. The boss Kevin Ryan stopped by from time to time but left the work to the big dudes, clad uniformly in khaki work pants and dark shirts. They're a first class operation, down to the shiny truck stocked with everything you might imagine.

Should you hire a plumber who drives a beemer?  Well I was mostly trying to hire locally, and was exceptionally glad to see all the work done quickly, it's a little dicey when you can't flush!

Of course there was a big bill at the end.  At these hourly rates I just can't gjve 5 stars, sorry.

These guys were a life saver!  After hiring another plumber to fix an emergency situation with my boiler, I asked them to check the work that had been done.  Although they said it was OK, they told me that other things the first plumber told me did not make sense.  They also warned me that my boiler was on its last legs and recommended I get a new one plus a new return line.  They told me exactly what had to be moved in my cluttered basement which I did quite promptly,  I then scheduled the installation of the new boiler.  It was a good thing I listened to them.  The plumber who did the job said my old boiler just crumbled when he went to remove it.  They did an excellent job and cleaned up all their mess.  The plumber explained the workings of the new boiler and told me some things that I had to do for maintenance.  While they were there, I asked them to check on my hot water tank and they told me that it was OK for the present but it could break at any time, due to its age.  So I asked them to replace that also and they got both done in one day.  Professional, polite, informative and just plain friendly.  I highly recommend them.
