I had a job that I need to have done. The super claim to have leakage under my toilet. I am so happy that I chose to have JV MECH come in for a second assessment. They clarified the issue and actually saved us from a crazy super situation. I am forever thankful for their services, prices, speediness and plumber knowledge. I swear, if you're good people and need to find other good plumbers that just happened to be good people too.. these are your people. They were transparent on their quotes and were honest. I am so happy I decided after their diagnosis to have them change my toilet out because they even found a faulty gasket that would have been a mystery for the rest of time. I will call them for any problem for now on. I highly recommend them read more

We had an emergency on January 17th, 2020. Our heat was no longer turning on and it was approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside (with the windchill). We have a 6 month old infant, so the situation was very serious as the house dropped to 59 degrees Fahrenheit inside by 7pm. We tried to handle the situation ourselves, but gave up and called Jay (the owner) at JV Mech. He immediately answered the phone, gave me a reasonable quote, and came over as promised within 2 hours after servicing two other clients. He was very transparent and resolved our issue fairly quickly after going over every possible scenario. I would highly recommend this company for HVAC issues because of their honesty, ability to quickly assess the situation, and extensive knowledge of HVAC systems. read more

See all

After the 3rd call of that day, someone FINALLY answered and said they were installing a boiler and would get back to us the following day. THAT WAS 1 WEEK AGO. Glad we didn't have an emergency, not the people's to call. Since then after repeated calls and left messages, there has been ZERO responses. Very Lousy communication and an ineffectual bunch of people. read more

My boiler was making a loud sound. I contacted local plumbers but they all gave me a run around. Jay was able to immediately identify the issue over the phone replace the part swiftly and helped me avoid further damage to my boiler system. He was very professional and courteous and provide great feedback. He did not only fix my problem but educated me to further avoid any future problems. His knowledge has helped me take preemptive measure to ensure the longevity of my boiler. I'm in debt to him for his services and assistance at late hours. read more

We had some heating issues in the house which caused a leak. Jay came the same day and resolved the leak as well as making other fixes to our radiators. Very professional and knowledgeable in his field of work, highly recommended from me. read more

Great service. The work was beautiful done. They clean up after themselves which is a plus. JoNathan explain everything with details. Great job. read more

Jay was great, very thoughtful and considerate. Took the time to educate us on how to run our heating system better. Will definitely use him again. Thank you. read more

I had a clogged kitchen sink , and I called Jay after he was recommended by a friend. He was available on short notice and came over later that day to look at our sink. Great communication, really reasonable rates, gets the job done on short notice and he's fun and personable! Jay also gave me great advice on what to do if it happens again. Will definitely call him again for my plumbing issues. Thanks Jay I found my new plumber! read more

Our toilet fill valve stopped working one day and as a result the tank overflew and flooded our bathroom. We tried to shut the water supply only to find out that the shut off valve under the tank didn't work either. On the day of the appointment, Jay gave me an hour window and he arrived on time and replaced all the bad parts. Our condo building is currently going through a lot of changes and our 'temporary' super did not know where the main shut off valve was located. Jay was the one who walked through the premise to locate the valve so we can fix the parts. Amazing!! Very professional and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!! read more

***giving an extra star since business owner responded my yelp review*** So my radiator was spewing water heavily. Due to the good experience with Jay previously, I decided to hire him to remediate the problem. He told me to send him photos after I described the situation to him, which I did the same day. The next day he texted me to ask if the leak happens while the heat is off which I answered back in 5 mins, then no response. I called him the next day see if he wants to set up an appointment, he told me he had to call me back in 20 min, which I was informed that the calls and text didn't go thru the next day (which was possible). So I asked him to set up an appointment for the upcoming Thursday, he said he had to get back to me. I heard nothing from him, so I texted him Thursday morning see if he could come, he replied in the afternoon that he had an family emergency so he wouldn't be able to till later, so I asked him how late. He told me around 7-9pm, which would be pretty late not knowing how long the job takes. I asked to reschedule and I haven't heard back from him since... I was nice enough to help him hold the bags and the tools during the first visit so I don't think that's the issue. If the job was too small, he should've informed me from the get go so I could look for helps somewhere else instead of stringing me along. I guess he gets a lot of jobs from the good reviews on here that's why he doesn't care about losing one or two customers. You know what, it's what it's. I will not be using his again, nor will I recommend him to anyone I know! Thanks and no thanks! read more

We had a heating problem in my lower apartment for quite some time, but was unsure on who to call. Read most of the reviews for JV MECH and decided to call. Left a message on my first try and followed up with a text. Jay got back to me right away and we scheduled a service visit. He came to my place and inspected my boiler, he was thorough and explained everything that needed to be done clearly. Heating issue is resolved and now everyone is happy and warm. I do recommend JV MECH and will definitely call them again for all my future plumbing requirements. read more

I needed a corroded pipe to be replaced. Jay was very quick, professional, and honest. At first we had a schedule conflict, but he made up for it by coming by on his day off and knocking a few dollars off the price for the inconvenience. He also gave good advice on separate issue I was having. Will definitely use his services again! read more

Called Jay from JV MECH with a toilet issue. He came over the next day, quickly diagnosed the issue, gave me a couple of different options and then proceeded to resolve the problem! He was excellent at communicating the problem to me and then explaining what he had to do to fix it. He worked quick, cleaned up afterwards and charged me a reasonable price. He does charge to visit but that price is deducted from any repairs he makes during the visit. Overall, I was very happy with the job. Thank you, Jay! read more

As always tried fixing my drain problems myself... couldnt get my snake far enough to celar the clog...in fact may have made it worse. Found Jay thru Yelp as a local plumber with great reviews. He responded to Get Quote promptly, told him it wasnt an emergency but he was able to fit me in the next night (the first i was available). Quoted me over the phone for what he normally can get done under an hour and explained that anything else we would ahve to see when he gets to the job. Since I had just done the BR a year ago... he asked if i had pictures so he could see the piping layout... which i did and helped him with his course of action. Overall Jay and Javier were both very professional, had the right equipment, asked all the right questions ahead before starting the job, were very respectful of our home, explained everything about the plumbing and how these things happen and tips on preventing in the future and answered any questions me or the wife had. Don't hesitate to use them in the future. read more

Jay came out today and did a nice job on bath slow drain. It was almost 3+ hour work & even put a drain plug so I can snake the pipe when needed. Price was very fair and professional crew. Thank you Jay read more

Jay has solved a problem I was having with an expensive but unconventional toilet with diligence, competence & at the least cost. He is professional, prompt & I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He also solved an issue I was having with my kitchen faucet that another plumber had given up on & responded immediately when my daughter lost her heating. read more

Let me start from saying that we definitely recommend Jay and he definitely deserves more than 5 stars! Very knowledgeable and experienced Gentelmen who is not here to make money but to make sure that you are happy and satisfied with the job. He shared so much knowledge with us and educated us about our heating system. His job is perfect. If you are looking for a great plumbing company either for your heating system, or pipe in the kitchen or bathroom then definitely call Jay! Prices are fair,matching the job! read more

I was in search of a plumber after the outdoor water pipe and faucet broke on a Friday night after several people we were referred to didn't answer or were unavailable to come the next day. Jay answered my call right away and scheduled to come by Saturday morning. He was responsible and sent text messages to update me on his arrival time when he anticipated a delay. He provided us with a reasonable estimate and offered to fix it right away. Although he had many materials on his truck, he left briefly to pick up specific parts we needed and was back and fixed it within an hour. He even walked around the house to give my husband some estimates on other work we would like to do in the future. He seems honest and knowledgeable. Would use him again. read more

I called Jay to fix some heating issues in my house and he came in promptly and restored our heating system. I'm very satisfied with his work and immediate response. read more

The heat in our building stopped working for some reason. Jay came round on a snowy Friday night and returned promptly on the Saturday morning with a colleague to fix it. Great, friendly service. read more

Jay was very professional and helpful with this very green homeowner. He was helpful with diagnosing our issue and offering various possible remedies for us in the long term. Thanks for the help! read more

I had drainage issues with all the sinks in my house, with the kitchen sink being the biggest issue since it interferes with me doing the dishes every night. The contractor who installed the sink routed the drain fittings underneath the sink in a very inefficient manner which i think contributed to the problem (plus, as an engineer myself, it annoyed me to see something so poorly designed). I called Jay on a Wednesday and he was able to come the next day. Although the appointment was set for 11am, he texted me at 9:30am to tell me that he was called out to an emergency service and that he will likely be late. That showed me that he holds himself accountable to his customers and I like that. Jay found that due to the inefficient routing of the pipe fittings for the drain, a lot of food was stuck in the p-trap. He dismantled everything, and ran new fittings that was definitely more efficient, took up less space, and also corrected a few other things that my contractor didn't do right. After a little snaking to clear the drain behind the wall, I had a perfectly working kitchen sink again. Jay also cleared the sink in the half bath as well as gave me some advice what I should be doing to maintain my steam heat boiler. I definitely plan to call him back to to some work on the full bath, and likely to take a look at my heating system next fall. Jay is very personable, will explain everything he's doing, show you what he's found, and willing to answer all your questions. I highly recommend him. read more

Examined my boiler, gave a thorough diagnosis, and explained everything very clearly and with patience. Would recommend JV Mech to anyone!

I used this Plumber about a month ago and had a great experience. I called him a few days ago for a small issue and he was so helpful. This is my go to guy from now on! read more

Jay, the amazing plumber!! Wow.. came to day my bathtub was clogged and two plumbers were not able to unclog it....Jay said " I have to listen to my snake" lol.....He put the snake machine into the pipe...and slowly figured out, like a scientist, exactly how to bring up a plastic cap that was there for more than one year!! the other two plumbers...failed and Jay succeeded because he knows the science of pipes and drains....amazing guy read more

It's hard to find a knowledgeable and reliable plumber these days, especially someone who also goes above and beyond. For example, when we first contacted Jay about our leaking boiler, he texted us instructions on how to temporarily stop the leaking from our boiler before he came over. That was a great relief! Jay is very friendly and took his time to explain different things to us. He gave his personal opinion and suggestions on plumbing and heating issues that we have. We are very happy with Jay's work. We highly recommend Jay for your plumbing problems. Jay is great! read more

On Monday February 1st I contacted Jay for something that went wrong with my washing machine. He made an appointment with me. He was so polite and knowledgeable. The man knows his craft. He explained everything he was doing and thoroughly took charge of the situation. I think 5 stars is to little if I had an option of 10 stars I would give it to jay. Very good, exceptional, knowledgeable, polite, trustworthy, dependable. I WILL definitely call him, again and again. He is my plumber for life.. Awesome job..... read more

Amazing job, had some toilet problems with a flushometer toilet. He got here when he said he would get here, knew what was going on, held a conversation with me while he was fixing things and explaining what went wrong and then tested the fix to make sure it was working. Absolutely amazing, I found my permanent plumber. Cheers! read more

I initially reached out to J V Mech because of the great reviews and 5 star ratings. Let me tell you... those ratings and reviews are accurate! They are a testament to Jay's character. I had an issue with my boiler and radiator. Jay quickly diagnosed the problem and explained to me, in great detail, what was wrong and what needed to be done. He is dedicated to the task at hand. Follows through with great care and efficiency. Afterwards, he pointed out and explained the maintenance and preventative care for my boiler system. For a first-time homeowner, like myself, this level of professional care is most welcoming. Look no further! Jay has become my go-to guy in this department. He should be yours, too! read more

Jay was very thorough in his job and looked at ways to minimize costs. I had an issue with toilet and I brought all the parts and he said only needed a few of the parts and rest I could return or save for future use. He also tried to address leaky shower by making adjustments to internal pieces instead of me spending $150 for a cartridge. He explained everything as he was doing the work and answered all my questions in a way that a person with no knowledge of plumbing can understand. Anyone that needs to have work done should call him first. read more

Jay helped me to clear the clogged kitchen sink and installed the new toilet. He is polite,very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. read more

I can't tell you how I dread having to call a plumber or electrician when the need arises. My experiences for the most part left me wondering if I made the right choice and so I would keep looking. I believe I found my plumber of choice-Jay of JVMECH. We had a slow leak that involved both bathroom and kitchen sinks that were joined to one drain pipe. He and his helper came one hour after I called and he told me what the problem was. He mentioned a couple of solutions and then went out to get the supplys he needed. He had a bit of a hard time as some stores were getting ready to close or didn't have what he needed. Once they got to work they were careful to do the least amount of damage to get to the pipes. They cleaned up the mess and he even patched up drawer he had to cut back of to get to pipe. Hopefully this is it and won't need to call Jay again til the next problem. If you need a plumber give him a try- you'll see for yourself! read more

Jay got my heat on late November when I was freezing in Floral Park. He was fast and reliable and taught me a bunch about my system. Great plumber and very helpful. read more

My radiators were making very loud banging noises. After unsuccessful efforts to fix the problem using other repair men, Jay finally solved my problem and gave me a good clear explanation of the problem. Fully satisfied with the work done. read more

Called for an issue with my shower; it would either be scolding hot or freezing cold. After briefly explaining this (as well as sending a photo of my shower) he promptly diagnosed the problem and arrived the next day. Not only did he fix the shower, he also managed to snake a drain that had been giving me problems. Complete professional in every sense of the word. If you want a solid and reliable plumber, this is your guy. read more

I used to work with Yuda, but when he moved he referred me to Jay. Jay fixed a leaking valve in my building's basement, and then replaced my leaking faucet. While replacing my faucet he noticed that I had a blockage in the pipes and he snaked it, which allowed the water to drain normally. He was very conscientious and thorough, and I'm grateful that Yuda connected his old customers with Jay. read more

Contact JV Mech after reading their review. We were in great need of a good no excellent plumber that was NOT gonna rip us off. Having had so so many bad experiences. Jay contacted us immediately tenant had no heat or water. He responded the very next afternoon fixed the problem and charged us such a reasonable amount we were honestly left speechless and extremely grateful. Thank you so very much. read more

Very pleased with Jay. Our radiators were leaking and Jay came over right away and drained the system and fixed it . The heat works better than ever. Jay is very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommended!!! Thanks , Bill read more

A++ Always available in time of needs. He is reliable and on schedule. As always job well done. His reviews speak for them self. Keep up the great work Jay! read more

A few months ago, our tub drain was going down slow again and our sink drain started to get slow too, so we called the plumber. He came and fixed the tub drain but for the sink drain, he made it worst. He tried his best for a couple hours. He snaked it and told us there was a blockage somewhere deeper in the pipes. Under the sink, he recommended that we replace the top pipe because it was corroded, so we agreed to it and he put in a new brass pipe. After trying again for an hour to try to make the sink drain go back to normal, he couldn't and told us we probably have to get the pipes that were in the walls checked. Turns out he made the sink drain even worst because the water doesn't slowly go down...it takes like 20 minutes a few cups of water, when it used to take less than 5 minutes to drain the same amount of water before the plumber tried to fix the sink drain. Despite the couple of hours he spent working on the sink drain, he could not fix it and actually made it worst. Even worst is that he still charged us an exorbitant amount and said he could come back another day to try to fix it (and still charge us for it, even though he worsened the problem). We basically paid for our sink drain to get worst. Last week, we also discovered there was a leak coming from the new brass pipe he installed. Every day we have to empty the medium sized plastic tupperware we placed under the leaky pipe. read more
