"After previously using Rob a year ago had him come to set up a new slop sink in the laundry room.  I had the existing pipes cut to add a hot and cold water line and a drain into the pipes being used for the washing machine.  The job was completed to my expectations.   Very happy with the service and will continue to use and recommend to others."

"We called rapid repairs about our broken water heater.  Elly came over and quoted us a price that was very reasonable compared to other plumbers we called.  After we agreed on the price, Elly went to work.  By that afternoon we had wonderful hot water again."

"I was unsuccessful in getting my well repaired by the original installers after weeks of trying to get them to return my calls, I went to Angie's list and found Vinny at Aquifer Water Systems.  I called him that morning and told him I believe I killed my 30 year old water pump and wanted a price to replace it.  After providing some basic information over the phone and sending him some pictures, he said he likely has the water pump in stock and can come by at noon to replace it.

He arrived on time and started troubleshooting the well.  In a short amount of time, he realized it wasn't a bad pump but the pressure switch and started working on replacing it.  I asked him to also repair some broken pipes going to the pressure tank which he was able to do and reconfigured the pipes to make it perform better.  Less than 90 minutes later, he had the whole thing repaired and working better then before.

I found Vinny to be very honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and a real professional who cares about the quality of his work.  I will of course be calling him back for any future maintenance issues and recommend him to my friends.  It was a real pleasure doing business with him."

"Very well. After I called Alan came over and gave us an estimate. Since it was reasonable in light of the other estimates we got, we hired him. His two-man crew arrived soon after and did everything that Alan and I had had agreed on. Although a little absent-minded at times, they were meticulous and reasonably careful. As the work progressed, we were impressed enough to extend the project to include other outside areas of the house. Where required they provided new screws to put back our downspouts and shutters. When the job ended one of his crew wire brushed several paint drips off our asphalt driveway and stone paver walkway. Good job!"

"Everything went as expected and very well. We have had it for 5-7 years and I have no stains or scratches on it."

"Simply put: Mark is a true professional and a good man. Something in short supply in the service industries today. Let's start at the beginning: We bought a house very recently. We knew there may be an issue behind the shower wall, but had no idea how bad. Turns out one of the pipes leading to some side-wall jets was leaking. Water was coming in at the base of the wall in the shower (through the grout). I hired a plumber. He wanted $800 to cap the pipe and would not fix the wall after busting through. I settled for a disabled handle so those jets could not be turned on. He did a couple other jobs on our list, but failed to do one and left another incomplete. For a month I asked him to return. Around that time, the disabled valve failed. Water went back into the leaky pipes and started coming through the walls again; this time in a different area, because I had sealed up the leaky area when I thought there would be no more water going there. Stupid, I know... but the plumber came back and saw water in a new area and never surmised that it may be the old problem, now getting worse. In the process of trying to solve a "new" leak, he broke another handle's volume control valve (which I had to run to a plumbing parts supply store to buy and replace to stop a new leak created by the broken valve) and did the worst, sloppiest putty sealing job I have ever seen on the temperature handle, believing that a loose handle was allowing water behind the wall and that must be the new leak. He was here for over 4 hours, didn't properly identify the leak, broke a valve and refused to replace it saying finding the right part was a pain, and completely slathered up a wall with caulk leaving an unsightly mess. Time to find another plumber. Enter Mark. I found him online that night and sent a note. Within minutes I got a text from him, very cordially saying 'thanks for the email, let's chat tomorrow. The next morning, we discussed - in detail - the ongoing situation. I texted him photos of the shower to explain the multiple jets and handles and where the leak was coming from. Right off the bat he complimented me on the thorough explanation and photos. Far from the other plumber that treated me like a nuisance, refusing to return to complete the original job. Our estimate visit was set for the following (next day) morning, but he came over after hours later that evening. He spent an hour with me -at the end of a long day- just trying to identify the leak source. The next day, I contacted the previous homeowner and he drew a diagram and explained where the piping lies behind the walls for these jets. I sent the image to Mark and he knew exactly what to do. We discussed together and both agreed on the solution. He came over the next day to work and was done in a few hours. He also brought his tile guy who put my walls back together, and even came back on a Saturday to finish the grouting! Well, turns out that the pipes were only half the problem. There was also bad grouting everywhere that was absorbing water. In the end, I hired a contractor to strip the walls back to studs and rebuild the entire shower. When the walls were gone, Mark came over as a courtesy to check all the now-visible pipes. He had remained in contact with me throughout the situation and came back one more time to make sure everything was solid before rebuilding. That is the mark of a true pro. Now, a couple months later, we found a new issue in our Kohler Hatbox toilet. He came over, diagnosed the problem, helped me order the right part on the phone, and is coming back to replace the part once it arrives. All components of this toilet are UNDER the bowl! It is not an easy task to get in there and it is dirty – but he did it with a smile. I leave this longer-than-average review to tell you that I have had a horrible experience with a problem left to me by the previous owners that was mishandled, misdiagnosed, and made worse by the first plumber… and then I found Mark. Too many people in the service industry just show up to do a job and don't care. They don't care if you call them again. If you don't, someone else will. Mark has chosen to go a different route, striving to build a happy client base for life. He will take his time, talk to you, explain the problem, and then fix it. Properly. And if it isn’t fixed, he’ll stick with you until it is. He also works with phenomenal people that are there to make things look great again, after the dirty job is done. Mark is a master plumber and has worked - literally - all over the globe for 20 years. New York is so lucky to have him now. If you want a true professional that knows his stuff, will respect you - AND give you a fair price, this is your plumber. If you want a jerk to come over, do a half-*** job, then ignore you for a month and return only to make a problem worse, I know another guy."

"Three new tanks (pH, Iron, Softener) were replaced and a new drinking water system at the sink was installed. Great professional people to work with very communitive and honest. Answered all of my questions and provided fast feedback. No issues with system- works great."

"Amazing quality. Kept me informed every step of the way. Took my old outdated bathroom and removed walls and all fixtures and made it GORGEOUS! Friendly and efficient. Will definitely use for my next project."

"Carlos and his assistant Felix were fantastic and a joy to work with. Got several quotes from a few highly rated contractors to work on a bathroom remodeling, and Homemaster came out with a reasonable and detailed quote breaking down each part of the job. The many great reviews from other clients made the decision to hire Carlos a no-brainer. Once the job started, Carlos and Felix arrived on time every day and the work was done well and with care to detail. Carlos also gave suggestions on what would look nice during the job. I purchased a toilet which from reviews online was a tough install that often took an hour+ to install, but Carlos and Felix with a little help from myself installed it in 15 minutes. It was fun having them around during the 2-week job. Will definitely be hiring them for future home improvement projects. I strongly recommend Homemasters for your bathroom remodeling."
