I've been a Kulk's customer for 3+ years and am very satisfied with the service I've received. Kulk's does the annual service on my oil burner and have fixed several plumbing problems I've had. The service personnel are on time, organized, clean and 100% effective. Appointments are easy to make and I,ve always believed I got great value for my money. read more

Buyer Beware: Dishonest, Unprofessional, and Unreliable We had a very troubling experience with John Kulk of Kulk's Plumbing and his employees. After diagnosing an issue as a contractor error, John Kulk later changed his story to the contractor, claiming it was our fault, which caused significant confusion and delays. John Kulk then suggested we file a claim with our homeowners insurance to correct the negligence of the contractor. The next day, the contractor stated in writing that he had "conferred" with John Kulk and repeated the same question, "perhaps that could go through your homeowners' insurance??" During the service, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. John Kulk said he can't find qualified workers and complained his employees frequently argue in front of customers. We previously had to ban John Kulk's employees from our home due to their unprofessional behavior. We also faced major reliability issues; snow removal was promised but denied immediately when the first snow storm arrived. Given the overpricing and lack of professional conduct, the quality of service here has significantly declined. We do not feel comfortable having John Kulk's Plumbing in our home again. We cannot recommend this business. All statements above are true, verifiable, and protected under the Consumer Review Fairness Act.

Prompt courteous service. I appreciate their quick response in a critical situation. Thank you!

Great technical and customer service. Highly recommend. I needed an assessment and they responded quickly.

Very fast service ! My pump blew out and they had it fixed within three hours. Highly recommended!

Great service! Prompt, professional, work clean and are economical. Highly recommend Kulk's for all your plumbing needs.

This was my first experience with Kulk's. I had used another plumber last year and had a positive experience, however, they seemed to be overpriced and other reviews agreed. I called yesterday and the receptionist was helpful and attentive. She got all of my information and was quick to get me into the schedule. I said it wasn't a rush but she said "you need to have hot water!" Richard arrived in the designated time slot, convenient to my work schedule. He was funny, courteous and informative on the problem. One of my elements was cracked and the other was caked in minerals. He even gave me suggestions to prevent future issues. The price was fair and Richard was thorough on completing the work, even though the office was pressing for him to finish up since it was the end of the work day on Friday. I will use them again and recommend them to my friends in the area. UPDATE! After the work done last week, I had a slow drip from the boiler drain. I called on Monday and the receptionist was quick to schedule a time for Richard to stop by. He capped the drain with a brass plug and charged me nothing. I am really impressed by this company from my interactions with them so far! read more

Late for appointment, didn't have proper equipment. lied to us about pricing. had to negotiate when the job was completed, 5 day later then it should have been. They do not return calls. I would recommend that you find someone else for your plumbing needs. Worst service experience ever. read more

I called your company last week to set up a visit to get an estimate for a water softener installation. I was recommended to you by the manufacturer (Springwell Water) as a licensed installer. My appointment was today between 8a-10a. Between 9:30a & 10:30a I called Kulks 3x. Each time I got an answering service that could not tell me anything and was told I would get a call from the office to tell me when the Tech would arrive. At almost 11a I received a voice message telling me that my appointment was canceled. It says you do not install Springwell equipment. I scheduled the service because Springwell told me you were verified on their equipment. I told the scheduler this when I set up the service call. Kulks dropped the ball 3x. 1. If you're not certified with Springwell, why did you schedule the service? 2. Why did I not receive a phone call? I waited hours for the tech to show up. 3. Why don't you answer your phone? Why am I calling a 3rd party answering service and waiting hours for a response? KULKS is not interested in the customer, they are interested in making their lives easier by outsourcing customer service. read more

The plumber, Rich, was very kind and personable. He also was willing to take his time explaining the job to me which showed me that he was quite knowledgeable. He was effective and replaced my water tank in a timely fashion. I will be using this service again, for sure. read more

I have used many other plumbers before I found Kulks and I am so happy I did. They get to you very quickly and always show up on time if not earlier. They are professional and always know right away what the issue is. The best part if they are reasonable for their expertise. Others have tried to sell me contracts and up-sell the service call never to be heard from again. you cannot go wrong with Kulks. read more

We have used Kulk for several different plumbing needs. They have always been professional and courteous. They set up an appointment and come when they say or once when they were delayed at a previous job they called us and let us know. John explains our options and answers any additional questions. We have not had any issue with any of the work they have done and will continue to call them if the need arises. read more

They installed a hot water storage tank for $1500.00 after the install the tank was leaking from the relief valve they did come back to the house to look at the pressure relief valve and said yes it is leaking due to my water pressure coming in from the street so the pressure reducer valve coming from the main has to be switched out that price was $475 I'm thinking when you get a professional they check all these things out before they installation for the Hot water storage tank another plumber here to install the pressure relief valve have perfect pressure coming into the house now and tank is still leaking from the pressure relief valve call them back and they said it would be need an expansion tank on the hot water storage tank another $475 I think that this is ridiculous this is For $1500 for a hot water storage tank should be installed step-by-step checking the water pressure to begin with after so this way there's no surprises that's why they're called professionals and I'm not but I'm learning so far a hot water tanks has cost me close to $2000 now they want an additional $475 for the expansion tank for the hot water storage tank I think this is getting a pretty hefty price tag for storage tank installed by professionals I was hoping for a professional company to stand by their product and their Craft and do the right thing for your customer the hot water is that tank might be defective But they refuse to exchange . But bY me adding on expensive parts that could have been avoided with the install ... Just make it right and do the right thing for your customer If anybody calls his company please make sure up front with you with price and a warranty Which I had I did no good Best of luck By the way just wanted to tell the whole truth that they did come back and changed out the valve on the The tank that was on the storage tanK But forgot to put the cold water valve to refill the hot water tank on I had to do that I'll show you a picture so learn your lesson I can choose wisely who does work in your house read more

Being a new homeowner in a brand new area, it was hard to find a reliable plumber. I had Daka Plumbing and Heating come by and they lost their notes. Jim Beyer refused to even give me an estimate. What a night and day experience with Kulk's! John was over within a few hours of getting the call and gave sound professional advice. The prices are fair because the quality of work is really high, I honestly think it's a great value. Other people complaining on here don't understand the true cost of plumbing work. Kulk's are professionals and deserve the rates they charge. Since that first visit where they replaced about 14 aging angle stops, they've unclogged a sink (required two visits - the second they didn't charge me for because they want to do the job right), installed shower heads, new toilets, a new sink, and even a brand new well pump. Throughout they've given me sound advice and OPTIONS, which are always nice to have. I can't recommend Kulk's enough! I wish I could find professionals in other areas that are this reliable. read more

I wrote a review yesterday regarding the price of the small job they did for me yesterday. Today, I received a phone call from them and they will be refunding me a portion of the payment. I was quite happy with the service just thought I should know how much I was going to pay, before the work was done. I appreciate a company who actually cares about their customers. Thank you, Jessica! read more

Kulk Plumbing and Heating charged me $260 to replace a part that costs $19.99 and took 15 minutes to replace. Didn't even let me know I was getting screwed until the job was done!! Plass the Plumber, much more reasonable. read more

First i must say he responded within one hour. He did my new water line from my house to the well which was over 150 ft. He did it for half the cost of any other estimate I got. Will keep his phone number and will be my first call for plumbing problem. John M read more

Do not use this company. Had an appointment today which I took off of work for. Let the office know in advance that the roof was 20-25 feet high and confirmed they go this high to clear vent stacks. Actually double confirmed as 7 previous places I called do not go this high. Owner/receptionist confirmed again that they do this. Elvis shows up (no ladder) and states that they never go higher than 1 level. 2 min appt there and he left. Called the office and talked to the owner/receptionist. She stated that she's "just a girl" and doesn't know about these things. Then mentioned that I never said it was that high. Again, I mentioned it was mentioned twice. She then says some employees may go that high, but depends on comfort level. Well if you are the owner maybe send an employee that is willing to do the job that was explained over the phone? Basically, a waste of time and I'm out of luck now trying to find someone else after waiting a week for this appointment. I would recommend staying away and let them know this review would be posted on all platforms. read more

Absolutely amazing work. Very skilled, reasonable. Has very professional work ethics.

Owner came to fix 2 clogged toilets and charged 216.00. It took 15 minutes It was a discount from $240. He was arrogant and argumentative, giving information about California property taxes saying they were the same as New York. No, they are almost 2x higher ( I just moved here from CA.) He wanted to charge $500.00 to buy and install a toilet. I called his distributor and they said the price of the toilet is $ 217.00 for anyone. That would be an installation charge of $ 283.00- a total rip offf for 30 minutes work. He gave me a card which was a large refrigerator magnet with cooking conversions and substitutions. I will not call Kulk's plumbing again as I feel their prices are very high and the customer service was not professional. read more

Peter from Kulks came to fix a leak under my sink. The appointment was for between 2-4 and he promptly arrived at 2. He fixed the leak quickly and efficiently. I will definitely call them again with any other plumbing issues read more

My pipes were gurgling and threatened backing up. I called Kulks although I had never dealt with them before. They returned my call and came within an hour of that call. One always worries about the honesty of such kinds of businesses because you are pretty much at their mercy. Rich was competent and attentive. He could have charged me and I wouldn't have known any better but instead he advised me that it was my landlords issue,not mine. I am so grateful! read more

Was very pleased with my experience with Kulk's. I called them when I had a problem with water not draining properly from my downstairs fixtures. They predicted it was a problem with the waste line connecting my house to the city sewer line. We scheduled a time for them to come over, and they arrived exactly on time. They were correct in their theory, as it ended up I had tree roots growing into the line, causing blockages. They cleared it after great effort (was likely decades of growth), and with a remote camera showed me what the problem had been, and how it was now clear. Their price for the work was reasonable, and they cleaned up nicely after their work. Would highly recommend them. read more

I came home to a gushing water water heater, and they're the first ones I called. The response time was good. The quote for the heater & installation- shockingly high. Luckily I had a friend help me to shut everything off before he came. I was able to get two other quotes that night, which were reasonable. Thankfully I was able to get it replaced the very next morning & saved myself the extra $500. read more

I called Kulk's about two leaks I had at the house and they sent out their plumber the next day - so response time was excellent and receptionist was super friendly. He was able to figure out where one of the leaks was coming from and put some silicone on it. Then I asked him to replace a fill valve and flapper on the toilet. That was it. He was here for less than half an hour. My bill? $302. I don't think it's reasonable at all and they never told me any of their pricing upfront. read more

WOW ! ! ! To bad Mr. Kulk is unable to come down to Westchester County. I called because I'm looking for a new plumber and he answered the phone immediately and was polite and professional. Mr. Kulk referred me to Tri-County Plumbing and said he knew their work and they'd be a good fit for me. Thank you Mr. Kulk! read more

What can you say about a business that actually answers the phone at 9:00 PM? Friendly, fast and expert service on my water heater replacement. I highly recommend Kulk's. read more

Great service! Knowledgeable very reasonably priced. Explained every step of the way. Will use his services again I recommend highly

I needed a plumber, fast, to fix a leaking toilet. I also had another toilet that needed a replacement part and a furnace that needed to be serviced. After reading the positive reviews on Yelp, I called Kulk's P&H around 8:30 a.m., spoke briefly to John about what I needed and he had his repairman, Craig, at my house in less than hour--outstanding! Craig did an excellent job; he was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, and explained what needed to be done and why and kept me apprised every step of the way. By lunchtime, the work was done, and Craig left the place in good shape, with barely any sign he'd been there. Thanks to John for being so responsive and customer-oriented and to Craig for a job well done! read more

John is a total professional. His work is good with no ripoff attempts. His prices are fair and he leaves the area neater than when he started. read more

I had a toilet repair problem. Never used them before. Called at 1 pm, problem was solved and toilet running again by 3 pm. Fast courteous service. Price was a little high, but no complaints. Will use again. read more

I was extremely disappointed with Kulk. I call him due to my bath leaking. He could not find out why, but broke the knob that handles hot and cold for the shower, so replaced it. He also replaced a filter, and tested the show for leaking. He charged me $348 for this, which is an absolute rip off. Unreal. I told him the price was too high, and he would not hear it, he said "you win some and you lose some, and on this one I lost". It was a $5 plastic "no brand" knob, and a $20 "at best" filter he put it. This is no where worth $348.00 . He was so nice and pleasant, I was truly shocked how much he ripped us off for. I paid him, but we will never use him again nor recommend him. I think he charged us extra for his trouble shooting, which he never found the problem, and he had a helper, so he probably charged for 2 men, and it was not a 2 man job. I also told him my husband would go to the store and get the knob, since he had to leave to run a personal errand and he said no. And when I questioned him on the price he said he charged us for 2 trips. First, he had to leave for a personal errand, and second, I told him my husband would go get the plastic knob. That was part of the ploy to charge a ridiculous amount of money for a minor repair. read more

They replaced my hot water heater and fixed a leaky pipe. John returns calls promptly and shows up when he says he will. His work was very neat and professional. I will use them again if needed. read more

They did a number of things around the house. They did a great job on everything and all for a very fair price. John also did a great job of explaining what the problem was and what he had to do. If you go with them I am certain you will be happy with the work, the price and the service. read more

As a parish priest I have had, over the years, many tradesmen come and work on the church buildings with varying results. This year I needed some work done on my house. I contacted several plumbers and interviewed them all. I was extremely impressed with John Kulk's knowledge and his approach to solving a number of problems. He appeared early on the day agreed upon with his assistant Mike. They laid out their materials and equipment and began to work immediately. Neither one are smokers so there were no breaks...just diligent hard work. My Carpenter remarked how good they were and so did my electrician. After passing inspection flawlessly, they finished the roughing and plan to come back to install the fixtures. A few days later I was in a coordination bind. I needed each of the trades to come in sequential order for the gas fired fireplace. John made the time and came all the way down here, did his part of the job and did not even ask for more money. I cannot praise him enough for his knowledge, work ethic, and attitude. read more
