I used Martin Plumbing for the first time and had a great experience. I found the plumber, Nuquay,…read morevery nice and it was clear he knew his trade. Like most contractors they will give you a 2 or 3 hour range for when they will arrive. I asked them to call in advance so I had enough time to get home and they did that which was very helpful. I feel like they are a very customer focused company which is great. Also I felt the company's pricing was fair. Overall I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to my friends.

Luis and helpers Michael and Will did a great job replacing some very old and corroded sewer and…read moregutter pipes. They were very professional, skilled, and hard-working, arranging the work so that we were unable to use toilets and water for only a couple of hours. Leon, the owner, told us it would take three days, with only one day unable to use water, and they kept to the schedule exactly. We will continue to call Martin Plumbing from now on.

Absolutely terrible experience with Franco Belli Plumbing. I called them to service my water…read moreheater, and the technician was at my home for less than five minutes before refusing to perform the work, stating that my unit was not serviceable by their company due to missing parts. No repairs were done, no meaningful diagnosis was provided, yet I was billed $280.35 for "one hour of service." Moreover, this is something they could have easily asked me to check prior to coming over. At no point before the visit was I informed of a mandatory one-hour minimum charge. Only after the technician declined to perform the job was I handed paperwork with that language buried above the signature line. This is a classic bait-and-switch, no disclosure up front, refusal to provide the service, and then a hefty bill.

I had a really good experience with James (with the read hair) from Franco Belli. Our kithen sink…read morewas a mess with a sudden major clogging situation that we would unclog then it would back up and overflow again making mess. James was incredible. He came in ready to assess the situation with barely 12 hours notice (emergency request from us), calmly took control of the situation by politely asking key questions and getting the info he needed to make sure he could take care of it later in the day (after he returned from his regularly scheduled client for that morning). When he came back, he got to work on the sink, answering any questions I had explaining the infrastructure etc helping me understand what was going on. Super friendly, engaging, and knowledeable. Ask for him next time, you'll be happy.

I've reached out a few times to Sessa Plumbing in the past without success…read more Also, it's worth noting that the former owner of Sessa plumbing has a different address and business name "Robert Sessa Plumbing." The website states he's a "Licensed Master Plumber since 1978 and the founder and original owner of Sessa Plumbing & Heating, (NO LONGER AFFILIATED)" Mystery solved. There are 2 separate entities- 1) Sessa Plumbing and 2) Robert Sessa Plumbing. FYI - Robert Sessa Plumbing has a You Tube channel that's pretty good - if you're interested in learning about plumbing suggest checking out some of his videos. It's a good idea to have some basic knowledge on this topic - especially when you're doing maintenance & repairs - helps to make better decisions.

Sessa did extensive work on our basement. The owner and his team were prompt, communicative, and…read moreextremely diligent. He had a direct line of communication with our contractor, which was our biggest concern as our contractor was adamant about using his plumber. Getting a hold of him was easy. This was probably one of the biggest jobs we have done in the house and it was the most seamless. Glad we went local, glad we went Sessa.

ALL I NEEDED WAS A FLANGE OR NUT, which I found out later ANY ACTUAL HARDWARE STORE SHOULD HAVE. Instead, the little man yelled at me that he didn't sell this stuff. I said, "No, not this whole thing, I just need..." and he kept yelling and interrupting me. I didn't argue back, just packed the rig back up and started to leave. Then he asked me, more than once, what it was for. Each time I started to tell him, he would get shouty again. I guess he doesn't like to listen to women. Screw him and his crappy little shack of a store.

I've used Richard a couple of times, and he's usually very nice, thorough, and reasonably priced…read more But, in January I had a job that really should have been very easy and he just didn't want to do it. He comes to my apt, looks at the flushometer toilet and says "your super should be able to do this." The problem is, my super sucks. I know this, which is why I am calling a pro. The piston in the flushometer completely gives way a week later, water is just running full blast into the bowl, and I had no choice but to call the super. He puts a new shutoff valve on the toilet, for some reason, and replaces the piston. I pay him $260. Problem is, he effed it up. The action on the flusher was weirdly stiff, and a few weeks later it just stops working. I call the super and he couldn't give less of a sh*t. "I told you, you probably need a new handle" he says. "Get the part for me and I'll look at it." (He had not communicated that to me, and it turns out he was wrong anyway.) So, I end up calling one of those overpriced "retail" plumbers. He shows up, and observes that the super put an unnecessary second gasket in there, which seems to have messed it all up. About 15 minutes later the job is done, and I'm out another $300. So I ended up dealing with three different people and spending $560 for an easy job that required a $40 part. Richard is a great guy for jobs that he wants. But he really left me in the lurch here when I needed someone to just do the job right.

Richard Haviland is a rare find. I needed a plumber to do some work in Brooklyn, but I did not have…read morethe time or resources to go to Brooklyn to find one. So, of course, I went to the web, Craigslist in particular, wading through a lot of ads and promo-posts that looked suspect at best and downright deceitful at worst. I was beginning to get worried when something about Richard's post caught my eye. I can't even tell you what it was to this day; it wasn't flashy or bombastic - maybe that's what it was, who knows. But something made me call him - and so far he has turned out to be the best tradesman I have had going into that building on a regular basis. He investigates the problem, gets in touch with me to review the details, we settle on a cost - always reasonable - and a course of action, and he gets the job done, letting me know the final bill. Work's done, tenants are happy and all is right with the world. He is a man of his word. And did I mention that I have yet to meet him face to face? That's right - we've been working together now for almost a year, and he and I have been nothing more than voices on the phone to each other with a little bit of cellphone technology mixed in. Sure, I have a guy in the building who works as a go-between for the residents and for followups. But Richard and I have been operating on a virtual handshake for almost a year now, and more than once he has shown himself to be not only a very good plumber, but a man with integrity and a compassionate heart. I am very fortunate to have come across his post in Craigslist. I know exactly What led me to him! And I just want to make that known to anyone else who needs some plumbing work done in Brooklyn and would like to deal with a real decent human being. Thanks a lot, Richard!
