We called Recchia Plumbing & Heating and spoke with Nick the owner, and described our problem; a leak coming through the roof of our garage, presumably from the bathroom directly above it. He came out that day and examined the problem. He did no work other than to pull a piece of wet dry wall back by hand and look behind it. He used no tools and was done with his inspection of our problem in approximately 10 minutes. He then told us he was in his sixties, had a bad back, and was physically incapable of doing the repair, and then handed us a bill for $85. I'm sympathetic regarding the reasons he was unable to do the repair, but he shouldn't have charged us for looking at a job he knew he couldn't do.

Nick was great, he came over on a Sunday within an hour and solved our problem. He was very diligent in making sure to identify and correct the issue for a very fair price. He was a life saver and I would highly recommend him. I will definitely be using again.

Nick showed up on time [a major plus] I found him to be extremely professional and most importantly he did not try to cross sell for other services that were not needed.Nick completed the job and billed for his services.The statement he sent to me outlined all the work that he did in detail. I will keep that for future reference. Recchia plumbing is a family buisness which is important to me because I am dealing with Nick and not an employee. The person I spoke to on the phone was the person who showed up at my home and that is important to me and my wife.I highly recommend Recchia Plumbing for those looking for the qualities I have outlined

Excellent plumber. I am extremely picky about contractors and have been using Nick for 23 years for all types of plumbing jobs. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain and show you what he did, always on time, courteous, available to answer questions, and fixes it right the first time. He is the cleanest contractor to ever work in my house. He cleans up so well, the work area is often cleaner after he's done than before. Also, he is completely trustworthy. I have no qualms leaving him working in my house when I'm not home. I would highly recommend Nick Recchia.

My kitchen sink has a high faucet platform with no clearance for a plumber to work in. Despite his misgivings, he performed the task quickly, cleanly, and close to his estimate. Both his estimate and final price were also hundreds of $$ less than I had been quoted by the other company. He was honest about the difficulties of both jobs I had him look at, without raising his estimates unduly. As soon as I have the money, I have more work for him.

We have used Nick for over 10 years and he has always been on time and reliable. His work is flawless and he is prompt to make accommodations for emergencies. Nick has always been honest about work that needs performed and estimates. He has always completed repairs in one session because his truck has all the routine equipment. His referrals for additional work and advice for equipment (when remodeling) have been spot on. We would not change this relationship for any reason.

I called Nick Recchia on Sunday February 7th 2016 for a few questions about coming to service my moms electrical water heater. I spoke to Nick Recchia - Nick Recchia showed me respect and agreed to come in on Monday February 8th 2016 for the service. On the date of service Nick Recchia came in and was honest about the electrical water heating issue. Nick explained all the pertinent information in a dumbed down process so I could understand. We then spoke about the toilet issue and he was able to resolve that issue. Then on his own time Nick Recchia walked and answered all my mothers questions even the silly ones that were asked multiple times. I respect this man and would recommend him to family.
Regards,
Jonathan

   I called Nick and set an appointment he arrived at the set time.He then completed the work we had discussed on the phone I jhad purchased two new Kohler facets and he did the installation. He cked for leaks and reccommended 2 new supply lines which he installed.

He then went on to check the entire plumbing and heating sysyem in my home. His workmanship is excellent along with being thorough he is immaculate. I have done work with Recchia plumbing on numerous occasions and what I continue to like is the personal relationship with him.He does the work himself  which is extremley important to my wife and I .We know who is arriving at our home.I highly reccommend Recchia and will continue into the future

After a pretty bad experience using another plumber who tried to charge me $800 for a simple job, I went through the phone book and found Nick.  He's an owner/operator, so he goes on all calls himself, which is always a plus.  I've hired him on several occasions now, and always found him to be extremely fair, reliable and thorough with everything he does.  It's really hard to find contractors who work at the qualify and caliber that he does.  I'd recommend him to anyone who asks!
