Called Rick's for a basic bathroom repair, they did a good job taking care of it. Turned out be a nightmare afterwards. They discovered after the repair that We had a bigger problem to the point were the town had to be called to shut my water down in my house, not knowing if we were going to have water for hours or days Ricks went above and beyond to make sure that did not happen, what could have been a weekend nightmare Rick's turned into a miracle. Water back in my house within a couple of hours, GREAT RESPONSE TIME GREAT SERVICE CLIENT FOR LIFE!!!! THANK YOU NICK!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Lee installed our new kitchen faucet in no time! Professional, knowledgeable, personable. Couldn't ask for better service! Thanks Lee and the folks at Rick's Plumbing! read more

I just had a electric hot water heater replaced. Lee and Nick were great-friendly,neat,explained everything in great detail. The job went smoothly. I am happy. read more

I was dealing with a seriously clogged drain. I felt hopeless about it and gave Rick's Plumbing a call. They showed up the next day. I didn't have to say much, but they fixed the situation entirely in 15 minutes. It was a very chill and good experience. Keep up the good work! read more

Jonny was great! I had bought the wrong type of sink fixture for installation. Jonny was very helpful and had two in his truck. One was very nice looking to me so I bought it and Jonny installed it. Excellent experience, as always with Rick's Plumbing! read more

We called Rick's Plumbing when we discovered our old water heater was dead after returning from vacation. Jonathan came and replaced it with a new one (for much less than our local HVAC company would have charged). He and his partner (Lee?) worked efficiently and professionally to get us back up and running. Really nice guys - couldn't be happier with their work! Highly recommend! read more

About a year ago I had a quote from Ricks Plumbing to replace the furnace at my condo. They had the job, but there were red flags so I went with a closer vendor with a better rep (Astacio, who did an excellent job and has very professional techs). Ricks Plumbing was weird. They didn't know there was a drain under the unit in the furnace room and wanted to install a UV device to get rid of the condensation (no one else has ever heard of this device). They never came out to look at it plus they kept changing the install date. After the third date change, I called Astacio Sila who come out on a Friday and my new furnace went in on a Monday. We had been without heat/hot water for almost a month by then in October and it was getting cold. So almost a year later, Ricks Plumbing came and did some roto work for a neighbor, had left his pump in the middle of the walkway outside the unit. Then the tech came out of neighboring unit and approached me, accusing me loudly of some made up thing against this neighbor. Maybe he was on something... It was bizarre. First of all, I hadn't done that. If her not living there for years and having her gas turned off was an issue, it was her problem, not mine. This was none of the Ricks Plumbing tech's job or business. Maybe his scaring me outside my home was to score points with the property manager here at this Sono complex (mismanaged for years, all stairs were recently condemned). See my other Yelp review... I called Ricks Plumbing to tell them about this and they basically laughed at me. If you want a procrastinating, mentally challenged and perhaps violent tech to come into your home, by all means call Ricks Plumbing. If you want a competent, fast, precise plumbing company, you should call the vendor I used, mentioned above. Too good to be mentioned in the same paragraph. read more

I called Rick's Plumbing and requested a new water heater for a condo I rent out. Nobody likes being without hot water especially in the winter. It was a tricky replacement because there are a bunch of water heaters for the building all in a very close area. They needed to move another water heater to get to mine. They were on-time, finished early with no surprises. I have used them in the past and will continue to do so in the future. read more

This is my second time using Rick's Plumbing. This company is exceptional to work with - the office staff is always helpful and courteous and responsive. They are so timely in responding and go the extra mile to get a needed appointment scheduled. Jonthan, the plumber, was super knowledgeable and helpful in making the toilet repairs - explaining each step in the repair process. Great company. read more

Will not forget the help he offered me without his knowing me for a service I needed last minute. He responds quickly & tries hard to accommodate. How refreshing! We need more professionals to behave like this despite the difficulties life brings to them as well as ourselves. read more

Jonathan was very helpful in explaining my issue. He also replaced the on/off water switch which gave me peace of mind. Great company, highly recommended by many in our condo complex. read more

I reached out to Rick's to ask about my water heater since it was leaking. I was promptly contacted by Jay via text, and Jay asked to send pictures of the water heater and the surrounding area which I did. Jay immediately responded and let me know that it was in fact leaking, and that I needed a replacement. Jay provided me with options and a plan of attack free of charge. He was very knowledgable and very accommodating to someone who technically gave him zero business. If my house wasn't so far away from Rick's I would 100% use them. Thanks for all your help Jay! read more

My husband and I needed to replace our water heater and Rick's Plumbing was one of the choices recommended to us by Angie's list. Jay contacted us and we were informed of our best options for our home water heater. Our water heater was installed the following Monday and the guys were on time and took care of removing our old water heater and replaced it with our new one in a timely fashion. We were very pleased with our services. They were very knowledgeable of their work. Thanks Rick's Plumbing. read more

We had an existing Navien boiler on-demand heating system in our basement Utility room that we discovered needed serious attention. Prior to our purchase of this home, this unit was badly installed and patched into the existing 70-year-old plumbing. We didn't know this until we were given a comprehensive and expert analysis by Scott McCoy and Jay Sullivan of Rick's Plumbing. They were able to show us in clear and understandable detail all the shortcomings and what was needed for an efficient heating system that would last for many years to come. They prepared a plan that covered a full 3-zone repipe using copper pipes, drilling new vent pipe holes to allow our Navien boiler to be lifted and correctly installed to the proper height, building 3/4" solid core wood walls to mount everything to, and adding a magnetic particle filter to protect the Navien's delicate interior parts. They accomplished this in ONE DAY!  The difference is stunning, as you can see in the Before/After pictures, and we have already begun to experience an increase in the efficiency of our baseboard and radiator heating and getting a full tub of hot water. We knew that this would be an important capital improvement and we trusted them to do it right. And they came through. read more

See all

Had work done 5 years ago. Bill was outrageous and company would not itemize it. Turns out subpar job was done. Pipes below kitchen sink leaking as the vertical pipe was several inches too short to stay inside the connecting pipe Which was covered by a plastic nut. Ruined the floor below the pipes. Plumber who fixed this mess called it a "hack" job. Owner did not return call to discuss. Would not use nor would I recommend Rick's Plumbing Service. read more

We had an issue over the weekend, Rick's was quick to respond, and polite and easy to work with. They had a tech out first thing Monday morning and quickly resolved the issue! Definitely recommend Ricks if you need a good plumbing service. read more

Scott from Rick's Plumbing installed a hot water heater for us today. Scott did an excellent job, cleaned up after himself, and is very Pleasant and professional. We have always received good service from the team at Rick's Plumbing. read more

I recently had a new countertop put in with a new sink and faucet. My normal plumber no longer does it anymore, so I had to find a new plumber. I turned to yelp and found Rick's Plumbing and decided to give them a shot based on the good reviews. Making an appointment was very easy and they were able to come out on the day I requested. I needed them to replace some old valves/pipes, remove an old water purifier, install a garbage disposal and hook up our new faucet. Rick's plumbing sent out Mike, a really nice guy. Very friendly and he told me exactly what he was going to do. He was able to remove some of their standard cost for me since I had already supplied some of the parts he would need (had the faucet and disposal all ready to go). His work was quick and he showed me his work right after. The work was very neat and no mess was left. He remembered to turn on all the water valves he had to turn off during the visit as well. The end price was very reasonable for all that I wanted done I think. I was able to pay with a credit card, which was really nice. I would definitely recommend Rick's plumbing for anyone. read more

Can't say enough about Ricks Plumbing. Had a non-emergency issue with a slightly leaking valve in the basement. Never having any plumbing issues I checked Yelp for local plumbers. Made an online request and received a call within an hour scheduling a same day appt. Danny arrived within the designated time, was professional, courteous and gave me feedback on the issue. Instead of replacing the entire valve as I thought might happen, he fixed the issue on the existing valve, leaving me with the minimal payment. Payment was completed right there with electronic receipts. You can also give checks or cash but I prefer to keep records on my credit card. Pricing is competitive but I never go for the lowest price. I took his card and bookmarked their website. Will definitely use again and highly recommend read more

Outstanding Service, Knowledge and the ability to fix all of the DISASTERS!

These guys are the absolute best! I have used them for a furnace/water heater combination unit, a sump pump repipe, and a changeover from galvanized to pvc for my bathroom tub and sink. Every job was done perfectly. Every person that I have interacted with was professional. They are patient with all of my questions, friendly, on time, and are priced fairly. They are my Go-To plumbing company and I am not an easy person to impress! read more

amazing service and very fast. I called Wednesday for a leak, the guy was here Thursday morning. Did a great job and did not kill me with the bill. I will re use them in a heart beat. read more

Mike from Rick's came as soon as he could, which was 7am in the morning the day after our clogged pipe. He was very thorough, professional and courteous. Took 2.5 hours trying to snake the pipe! In the end, Zach and another guy came back the following day to replace the pipes. That's super fast, given most plumbers would need to order parts and coordinate with a contractor to get the stuff installed. Thaat would usually take a week! Great job! Very happy! Oh yeah, and upon final review of the job, the worker asked Rick "What should we do about payment. Rick said, "we'll worry about that later, let's just finish the job." I imagine they will bill me through the mail, but it was nice that the money wasn't the first concern! read more

I contacted RIck's Plumbing Service after a Google search for a leaking toilet. I suspected a worn out wax seal. I made an appointment for the following day. My technician Tarif was 10 minutes early, exteremly professional and highly competent. The problem was actually more complex because the flange had rusted and needed to be replaced as well. Tarif was well prepared with all the necessary parts and tools and completed the repairs in a timely fashion. It cost more than I was expecting but plumbers are expensive and this required additional time and parts so it was very reasonable. I would certainly recommend Rick's and plan to use them in the future if the need arises. read more

Ricks Plumbing is by far the best plumbing company I've ever hired. They are profession, tidy, on time and best of all very fairly priced! Mike was such a great guy! He's so polite and informative, he was fast, clean and very realistic about the options I had with my repair. I will be using these guys exclusively from now on and will ask for Mike! read more

My experience with Ricks's Plumbing was very positive. It was easy to contact them. Juliet answered my questions and scheduled an appointment for the next day. She also called 30 minutes before the appointment to confirm. Justin came on time and replaced the kitchen faucet for us. He was very professional and polite. read more

Mike came right on time, nice friendly guy. Explained what work needed to be done and provided an estimate right away. Within minutes, he had parts and tools ready to go. Very professional and efficient. I have dealt with RAPS, TRI-CITY and other plumbing companies here in town and was by far very impressed by Mike especially at RICKS PLUMBING and would use them again without hesitation. You won't be disappointed, Rose helped get me an appointment right away. Thanks for the great customer service experience, seems like it's a lost art for a lot of companies but not this one. read more

I needed urgent plumbing service when a pipe broke in the middle of the night and I had no idea where to start in finding a reputable and trustworthy plumber. A friend recommended Rick's Plumbing Service and they arrived first thing in the morning - no waiting! Jonathan was professional, courteous, informative about the process he was undertaking, and went the extra mile in every way (even emptying out the buckets of water that had filled throughout the last few hours). He was able to do exactly what was needed in a short amount of time and, in the end, he was able to do it with very limited disruption to my home - just two small holes under the sink that are hidden from view. I highly recommend Rick's Plumbing to anyone in the Milford/New Haven area who is in need of service, and Jonathan in particular! There is nothing better than a serviceman who fixes the problem and leaves the house looking like they were never even there in the first place! read more

We had a plumbing emergency and Danny came immediately. He was friendly, competent, informative...couldn't ask for more

Great service, extremely knowledgeable and great guy. Not only did he get my pipes unfrozen he helped me insulate the wall so it would not happen again along with walking me around the house and suggesting a few things I could do to winterize the house. Even could pay with my credit card on site. Couldn't be happier. read more

The plumbing that feeds my hot water heater was corroded and starting to leak, Rick's Plumbing was recommended to me. I contacted the company on a Saturday afternoon and Rick personally contacted me a short time later. After reviewing photo's i provided Rick, Rick assured me that while the problem was serious it was not dire. The next morning a technician was at the house and replaced the plumbing and hot water heater. Rick and his team epitomize customer service, integrity, and support. read more

This is quite a racket. They charge $75 for a "service call" in which all they do is write you a very expensive quote for the plumbing job. Their quote to replace a leaky outdoor spigot was $250. That is not a typo. You are forewarned. read more

COMPLETE RIP OFF. BUYER BEWARE!! Tried them for a simple service that they did not even fix. Got a nice bill for close to $400 though. Then they want to charge an additional $200 to come back to fix what they missed. WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. THEY WILL OVER CHARGE. RUN WHILE YOU CAN. read more

Very happy with the service from Ricks. Needed a gas stove install done in a short period of time. Got a prompt call back from their office same day and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning, early. Pete the very courteous tech came out, provided a quote for the install and was equipped to do the install right then. Price was similar to local competitor. Pete did a clean install and explained everything he had done. Left the house clean and tidy, taking all the packing materials for the stove with him......totally unexpected but appreciated. Will certainly keep Ricks on file for any future work. read more

Excellent Experience. I had a water pressure reducing valve put in which was done very timely and without any issues or hassles. Somone actually answers the phone all the time. They call back quickly with requested information. Very timely in getting service done and very satisfied with the results. Thanks for the service! read more

Be aware. Rick's Plumbing charges $75 just for an estimate! They do not give free estimates. Not cool at all. Yes, they will waive that fee if I have them do the work right on the spot, but how does that help me bid out work? I called about bringing gas into the house. So... they can just do that job "on the spot"? The receptionist was very nice and was uncomfortable and apologetic when telling me about the $75. Seems she doesn't agree with it either. read more

SKY HIGH PRICES!!! I was visiting my parents (I live in FLA) and I called on a Friday morning to have a leaky handle in my parents house shower looked at. this was not an emergency, but they found time to come out later that afternoon. the first call I received from them, the guy said "WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!". there are other ways to deliver that message to a customer, and the message didn't seem that awful. I ASKED for a price/estimate and he said that he had NO IDEA what it would be? at this point I was very concerned since he had the handle completely removed. He said that he had to find the replacement part which we told him which store to find it. he returned 5 days later and said that he had the part in hand and ready to install. the price to install was 650.00. FOR A FREGGIN SHOW HANDLE!!!! I said to him, sounds kind of high don't you think? he stated that he had to find the replacement part, and there was a lot of running around he had to do. so when he finally has the part in hand, that's when he hits me with the cost, and if I said NO at that point, the cost would still have been the same. so his first visit included 30 minutes of work and the install included 30 more minutes of work and the replacement piece cost $100.00 which I did not get a copy of the receipt yet, I WAS CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL +$400.00 FOR HIM TO "FIND" THE REPLACEMENT PART. since I was back in Florida, I felt I had no choice but to pay. PLEASE GET AN ESTIMATE PRIOR TO WORK. read more

Had Scott from Rick's come out to change a kitchen faucet and examine a leaky bathroom sink. The service was great -- he identified a potential problem with the garbage disposal but was able to fix it creatively, and didn't charge for looking at the bathroom sink because the porcelain was broken and unfixable. The only down side is that despite other reviews saying their prices were reasonable, they charged $250 for installation of the kitchen faucet, which seemed high to me. When I had called for the appointment, they said it would be $75 for the service call that would be waived upon purchase of the service. They told me they couldn't estimate how much installation of a kitchen faucet would be, but I was estimating around $100-$150 -- perhaps that was naive. Scott was able to tell me as soon as he arrived that it was $250 (before he even noticed the garbage disposal issue), suggesting that was a standard price for kitchen faucet installation. Had I known the $250 price from the start, I might have tried to find someone a bit cheaper who still does good work. read more
