Our furnace was dying a slow death, and I was starting to panic. It was still very much winter,…read morewith temps in the 20s, and I was reliving the torture of being without heat for 2 straight days during the December '22 blizzard. All the 5 star reviews led me to Armor. Our saviors! Response time was promised within 2 hours, and they showed up even sooner. We were offered the option of replacing the offending part or installing a whole new furnace. I didn't see the point of putting a brand new part into a 20+ year old unit, then waiting for the next failure. So, new furnace it is. A few hours later, our house was warm and toasty again! Same day service from a thoroughly polite and professional crew? Yes, please! I can't praise this company highly enough. Our AC is getting older too, and I wouldn't dream of calling anyone other than Armor when the time comes.

We were having trouble with our heating system turning on. We called Armor Heating and they gave us…read morean estimate on how soon they thought they could service our home - they got over to our place and diagnosed the issue and were well on their way to fixing it pretty quickly. They had to replace a few parts and part of doing so meant they had to go around to every baseboard and let air out. It was a big job that took a couple hours but they were friendly and respected our home by taking off shoes, etc. we felt the price was spot on. We'd definitely call these guys again.

I had a complete bathroom remodel done this spring/summer. Called Franks to provide an estimate on…read morethe plumbing work since they had done a couple of repair jobs for me in the past. Al (Alfred) and his team from Frank's were assigned to the job. Al came out to look at what needed to be done; the estimate also included a tub replacement ( I purchased the tub & had it delivered for installation). He also met with the construction contractor (walls had been removed) to discuss what needed to be done from his end. I received the estimate the next day - scope of work was very thorough, detailed & complete. So much so I was able to use it as a punch list for the plumbing work. When time came for plumbing work, Al & his team arrived on time, were completely focused on getting the pipe work updated & completed; tub installation completed on the 2nd visit. On the final visit, faucet installed in the new sink, all plumbing work was inspected by Al & ready for Township Plumbing Inspector. This was not an easy plumbing job by any means. Al & his team from Frank's did an exceptional job - all work was organized, performed professionally, work areas were all cleaned after jobs were completed. Final inspection done by Plumbing Inspector passed with flying colors. Pricing for the job was reasonable, given the amount of work that had to be done. Thank-you, Frank's Plumbing & Alfred for an outstanding job!

My vote is split between plumbing and the sidewalk cement work. Plumbing gets a 5, cement work 3…read more For the plumbing service I dealt with Ed P. and the work was done by Leo and Joe, who did the complete job in a day. They dug from back downspot to street, laid new piping, added stone by street and backfilled the dirt. Excellent. The cement side was a different issue. I dealt with Ed R. The cement work is subed. When the crew came to dig up the sidewalk I saw on ring camera that they did not remove one of the contracted pads (they were supposed to do 4 pads but only did 3). I contacted Ed R. while they were still at my house. Later that day the three pads were cemented in. That part of sidewalk was well done (even if not all pads were done). A month later a new crew came to dig up the fourth pad, they did mine and the neighbors. Horrible job. They stomped all over my new grass, The new pad near my other ones was too high so they leveled it down the last three inches but you can notice that it's not level, the pads by the grass are sloped down (maybe they didn't pour enough cement), not very smooth surface, and when they cleaned up they did it by my decorative curb (leaving stains on it). Communicaton with Ed R. was lacking.

The first visit was to fix an old toilet, they purchased a new one (fine), $1000 later and over a month out from that first visit I'm now stuck with a toilet that simply won't stay rooted down and am going to have to call another company to fix it because they keep sending the same technician to my home. Really not satisfied. Also my last appointment, the tech didn't show up for 2 hours- once I called, they said he was home sick, and they were just not planning to let me know? This is really HORRIBLE customer service and horrible home servicing. I am out $1000 with a barely functioning bathroom.

I had sewer line work completed on April 28, 2026, at a cost of approximately $18,000. At the time,…read moreI was told the sidewalk restoration would be completed by the following Monday. Shortly thereafter, the project manager contacted me and asked for an additional two weeks to complete the work. As of today, more than a month later, the restoration work remains unfinished and I still do not have a scheduled completion date. My yard is torn up, the sidewalk has not been replaced, and I have been unable to get clear answers despite calling regularly for updates. The most frustrating part has been the lack of communication. Promised timelines have repeatedly come and gone, and my attempts to obtain status updates have largely been ignored or brushed aside. At this point, I am genuinely concerned that the restoration portion of the project is being abandoned. I understand that scheduling delays can happen, but customers deserve honest communication and follow-through. After spending $18,000 on this project, I expected a much higher level of service and accountability. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

The estimate was done in a timely manner and was professional. I do like that the owner gave me the estimate right away on the spot and seemed to know the cost of materials. I appreciated the timely manner of the estimate and the professionalism, I always do at least 3-4 estimates before scheduling any job, so it'll remain to be seen whether I go with Bright Star, but I always live by the rule to get at least a few estimates for any job over $500. EDIT: I did find their quote to be on the higher side after getting a comparing estimate, but it could have just been this particular job.
