"refrigerator.I had one of the most disappointing and frustrating experiences with RJ Appliances NJ INC during a recent repair of my Miele refrigerator. When the technician first came to inspect the unit, they claimed to have done a full diagnostic and gave us a final quote of around $1,000 (after tax). We agreed, thinking everything had been properly assessed. But when they came back to do the actual repair, the story completely changed. They suddenly “discovered” that the fridge door wouldn’t close properly and said we would need to replace the entire door — for several thousand dollars! After we refused that ridiculous suggestion, they said they could “repair” the door instead, but only if we paid an extra $850. At that point, with the refrigerator already taken apart, we had no real choice but to accept. This whole process felt misleading and unfair. If the technician really did a full inspection, how did such a major issue appear only later? It seemed like a classic case of bait-and-switch pricing — quoting one number and then inflating the cost after we had already committed. We expected professionalism and transparency, especially since RJ Appliances is associated with Miele service. Instead, we were left feeling pressured, overcharged, and deceived. ⚠️ Warning to others: Be extremely cautious before agreeing to any quote from this company. Make sure everything is documented and confirmed in writing before you proceed. Very disappointing experience — definitely would not recommend RJ Appliances NJ INC."

"Hiring Tom and Roger is one of the best decisions I've ever made! I was introduced to Tom and Roger when I discovered a mice problem in my apartment that my building (the handymen, super, and others) tried but was unable to fix. (Tom and Roger were recommended by an architect friend who hired them for his own apartment.) Tom and Roger came in with gusto: they heard my concerns, understood the problem, took it to heart, and treated it like it was their own. They got to work exploring my apartment, leaving no surface or crevice unexplored. They found holes that the building had missed. They sealed everything, even the tiniest holes. They never once played down the problem or disregarded it as something unimportant - rather, they approached it with complete seriousness and even spoke with an exterminator to make sure that they were caring for it to the utmost degree (they even made suggestions like putting all of my dried goods in the fridge as to not leave a single stone unturned that could continue to attract mice). Ultimately, they solved the problem (when no one else had!)....and it was clear that they wouldn't stop in my apartment until the entire problem was addressed and done. I really appreciated that they came in with such a thorough and holistic approach. I loved working with them so much that I hired Tom and Roger to work on a bunch of other tasks in my home (sealing floorboards, caulking the tub, fixing grout in the kitchen and bathroom, fixing up a home office, staining the deck, insulating around the radiator, and so so much more - I had a long list!). The items were each different and they knew how to do them all. There is nothing that these guys can't do! Everything that Tom and Roger worked on was done with great care and attention to detail. They firmly believe that any work should be done by these principles - it's part of what makes them stand apart from the rest. To boot, they are lovely people! It was truly joyful working and having conversations with/getting to know them while we were in the apartment together. Working with Tom and Roger was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Every day, they showed up early (early!) for the job. Throughout the day, they checked in to ensure that my list of priorities was being met (even at the end of the day, they didn't leave without checking that they had tended to my priorities.) I appreciated how they continually made the effort to ensure that we were exactly on the same page. I never felt rushed. I always felt heard. Truly, working with both Tom and Roger was nothing but wonderful. My only regret is that I don't have more jobs to give them - the experience was so great that I wish I could keep working with them! It goes without saying that I will work with Tom and Roger again in a heartbeat (in fact, they're the only contractors I ever want to work with moving forward!) and recommend them without hesitation to my closest friends (in fact, I already have!). Hire Tom and Roger - your experience will be the best and your home will look gorgeous. You will be so SO happy that you went with them!"

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts

It costs anywhere from $150 to $850 to fix a pipe leak, but it could cost even more depending on the damage. The most common kind of pipe leaks, which happen from clogs or grease buildup, cost less than $300 to fix. A burst pipe tends to be the most expensive because it results in significant water damage. Expect to spend $400 to $1,500 to fix the pipe, plus $1,000 to $2,000 on water damage repair.

When water stops flowing from your outdoor spigot, always begin by making sure it's been opened for the season. Winterized hose bibs need to be turned back on from the indoor water source in the spring. Other culprits when fixing an outdoor water spigot include:

  • Debris blocking the pipe

  • Broken washer

  • Loose and leaking packing nut

  • Issues with your home's water supply

Call a local plumber if you are not able to find the issue by opening the water valve or checking the washer and packing nut. There could be a problem further up the pipe that needs attention.

Yes, a toilet and shower can share a vent, which can simplify the plumbing installation and save space in your home. You’ll just need to make sure that the vent and associated plumbing are large enough to meet your local plumbing codes and handle the demands of both without compromising the efficacy of the vent. A qualified plumber can ensure that the vent is properly installed and adheres to local codes.

Most plumbing lasts anywhere from 20 to 100 years, but it depends on the type of plumbing and materials. For example, copper and cast iron pipes last between 50 and 100 years on average, while galvanized steel, PEX, and brass pipes have lifespans ranging up to 50 years. Your soil acidity and extreme temperatures both impact how long pipes last, so keep in mind your home’s climate and soil quality when determining the lifespan.

Replacing a shower drain P-trap costs $150 to $250 for parts and labor. Costs increase to $350 or more if your shower drain assembly is difficult to access or requires more work (like replacing pipes and fittings). If you’re a knowledgeable DIYer, a new P-trap costs $10 to $45.
