From the time they walked in my home they were knowledgable and explained what the job entailed and the cost. I then agreed to have them perform the work to solve my issues. They are professional and very neat. I am very happy with the work they did.

Great job all around. We solicited two professional opinions on this job and selected A Good Plumber because their diagnosis made more sense and saved us money. Also, gave us a couple of extremely helpful tips unrelated to our job.

Thomas and his assistant arrived on time. Their COVID-19 safety procedures are excellent and I felt like we have not put each other in any danger. Thomas is very knowledgeable, courteous, and is just a pleasure to deal with. Even though he didn't have good news for me, I never felt like he was trying to sell me a bill of goods and left me feeling like I got my money's worth.

The inspection led to the discovery of a few issues, including a leak from a kitchen sink faucet and drainpipe replacement needed, which they repaired straight away. A few other issues with supply lines to a powder room sink, as well as shower faucets, were also addressed.

With the call ahead and the punctual arrival, the service visit was awesome. The plumbers who were assigned the job did a thorough walk through my house to truly track down and point out what was found. Prior to any work being done a full explanation including pricing was given. After everything was agreed upon the work was done. Both plumbers treated my house like it was theirs. On really important touch was the text message that was sent prior to arrival, which includes a picture of the lead plumber along with a short biography and video. At the end of the day every thing was taken care of and I became a loyal customer of “A Good Plumber” .... Thanks Thomas
Description of Work: Called for a leak thought to be from the washing machine. Also broken drain pipe underneath kitchen sink.

The furnace stopped working on a Thursday night (overnight). On Friday morning, I phoned A Good Plumber for service but they were all booked. I was told that I would have to wait for Monday morning for service man to come, which would have meant freezing all weekend. But they made a few changes to their schedule and came to the house by 2:30 PM on Friday and took care of the problem. They are the most professional people I have ever dealt with, and very kind too!

Great job. It was a bit expensive for the actual work that needed to be done, but reasonable given that they needed to take the time to come out. The plumber was really helpful giving other plumbing in my basement a once over and had lots of useful things to point out.

While we appreciate all our clients and treat our customers with respect, integrity and strive for customer service, sometimes people remind us there is trash in the world that would take the time to leave a company an F review for no reason. Your call came in on a Sunday, which is clearly stated on Angies List and our website we are closed. At 9:43am Monday morning your call was returned, so how you can claim you never got a call back is ridiculous. We have not advertised in Manhattan on Angies List for 2 years so we cannot speak for how Angie's List displays service areas. Sometimes not serving a client is better than serving one and in the case that must be true. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

I've had really mixed results from A Good Plumber and I would go elsewhere - there are better options in Brooklyn. Twice they've called less than an hour before the appointment time to cancel an appointment that was previously scheduled. After taking a day off of work, this comes with a pretty significant inconvenience. I understand emergencies happen, but it's happened enough now that I would go elsewhere if you value your time. Other experiences have been very mixed: On 9/7/2018, we were called 45 minutes before the appointment time to cancel the appointment. A new appointment was offered 4 days in the future. On 7/12/2018, Jose came out to fix a leaky sill **** (outdoor faucet). After already charging $99 for the visit, Jose quoted a minimum of $500 for the repair - this was without as much as taking out his wrench to try and diagnose the issue. We said no thanks and sent him on his way. On 06/06/2018, our appointment was cancelled in the appointment window due to an emergency with a "Diamond" customer. Prior to that, they replaced a water heater which was *very* expensive (but the work was generally good). Nice folks, but you can find a better option.

NOT SURE HOW IT WENT.THE JOB SEEMED good AND THEY CLEANED UP OK. THEN THE TOILET BACKED UP AND WASTE ALL OVER THE PLACE. i HAD SIGNED UP FOR DIAMOND SERVICE WITH THEM because of the good job. below is info on service i signed up for for email they sent me. Lifetime Diamond Club - Annual Inspection - 7 Days a week emergency service - 15% discount on most repairs - Lifetime Warranty on all fixtures provided and installed by A Good Plumber - Service Call waived when work is done on same day. So of course I called it was around midnight sat. THE ANSWERING SERVICE SAID SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME I asked the service how long they said they didnt know. I WAITED TILL THREE IN THE MORNING NO ONE CALLED. I GUESS i SHOULD OF ASKED WHAT THEIR DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY WAS. BUT WASTE MATTER ALL OVER THE BATHROOM IS AN EMERGENCY TO ME. I CALLED ANOTHER PLUMBER AND THEY CAME AND FIXED .... If they were not going to get back to me for 11 hours they called sunday late morning tell me and could get some one who provides emergency service. So i called and complained first about the handy wipe that the other plumber found since i saw them using them around the waste pipe. So they said they would never do it and i could not find anyone in my house who did it so it was you said i said. They offered to come out and put a camera in my pipes and see what problems they could find. One i had this done last year and two now I was thinking maybe it was a scam put something in the toilet and come and see what problems i had. So i said no thanks. I was sleep deprived and angry about and emergency service that did not respond so offer could have been a good faith effort on their part. The next part sort of put the nail in the coffin for this company for me. I called to ask exactly what the definition of emergency service was so i could call a really emergency service .. I even said i would wait to hear before doing this review. it has been a week no return call or email. So i rated responsiveness and professionalism bad because of that. I loved that they were on time to do the work so gave that an excellent. and work seems to be good (not a plumber myself)but looked good i guess time will tell. I tried to be fair here so you make up your own mind. They were also not cheap . I found another plumber on angie's list who responded later that would have done same job for 30% less.

We are willing to discuss this if you choose. I am sorry but you are inaccurate saying we didn't respond. We called you on July 11th around 12:30pm and your voicemail would not allow us to leave a message. We also emailed you on that same day at 12:42pm trying to work this out and will forward that to you again privately so you see we did respond.

Mr. Rivera was able to fix my plumbing problem in that visit. I am very happy.
Description of Work: I have an old brownstone in Brooklyn. I had a bad leak in my second floor bathroom. I enlisted the services of "A Good Plumber" . I explained my problem. Mr. Rivera made a time to come and review my issue. Upon inspecting the bathroom and its links, he was able to assess the issues and explained them to me. I had a leak in the bathroom wall behind the toilet in the floor pipe, and a leak in the shower wall. He explained to me how he would be able to fix both, and he did. He came equipped, he took his time, he is very knowledgeable of his craft, and he repaired any openings he had to create to complete his job when he finished. He was very patient in addressing any unforeseen issues that presented. He is an excellent plumber.

The plumber came and "approximately" pinpointed the location of the leak that was behind the wall on the 1st floor bathroom. The plumber told me that it would be my responsibility to remove the drywall, from the basement, and tile from the first floor bathroom. Then the plumber said, "While your doing that, I have to respond to another call and I'll come right back and finish the job for you." I asked him, "How will I be sure that you'll come back?" The plumber said, "Just call the dispatcher, at the office, and tell them to send me back out here and I'll come but before I leave, I have to charge you the fee for me to come out here. I took him for his word and called ther dispatcher and they told me that in order for him to come out to my house, I'll have to pay the service charge again for him to come back. I told them I already paid for the fee, I got to holes in my walls, I still don't know where the leak is coming from, and dude left. Definitely not giving them my money again.

Thank you for your review. As a professional company we have overhead, and every minute costs the company money. This is why we charge for access, to take time to uncover a leak hidden behind walls or in a ceiling. If a customer so chooses to not pay our fee for that time and decide to open the wall themselves, we cannot stand there and wait and if we do leave, we now have to leave and come back again.
