Get matched with top sink installers in West Islip, NY

"While looking for a plumber to inspect and replace a leaking water heater, I found Rapid Repairs.  I called the number, and was directed to send a text message if I needed a emergent response.  After only a few minutes, I got a response in a text message addressing my issue.  They were professional and answered my questions as best he could without being at my house.  I even got estimates based on my answers.  The only reason I did not utilize their service was that I needed hot water immediately, and they were already on multiple service calls, meaning the earliest they could come out would be Monday.  
I would definitely use them in the future, I was very happy with the response and appreciated that he was polite and understood that I couldn't wait for them to become available.

"Finding a reliable and honest plumber is a hard thing to find. I asked friends/family and nobody knew anyone i could call. Luckily i remembered seeing a Angieslist commercial on TV and decided to give it a try and i am so glad i did. After searching around i found Jimmy of Clearway Plumbing, What a great company! They showed up fast exacly when he told me he would and even though i was told by a friend of mine who is handy around the house that i would have to replace my toilet and it couldn't be repaired Jimmy at Clearway assured me that it could be fixed, would cost significantly less to repair and that replacing it would be a waste of money and that if i made the repairs the toilet would work like brand new. Since i saw other reviews saying how great and honest Jimmy is i decide to take his advice and i am so glad i did. Within an hour i had a completely repaired toilet that worked like new and cost way less then i ever would have thought. Jimmy from Clearway is the company to call for any of your plumbing needs you will not find someone more honest, fair and reliable. Since the repair of my toilet i have used Jimmy multiple times for other issues and so has my friends and we have had nothing but good experiences and i would highly recommend Clearway Plumbing to anyone looking for a honest and reliable plumber or heating company you will not be disappointed!"

"These guys are terrific!!  Anthony appraised me of the cost of materials and set to work immediately, reframing and replacing 2 windows that were lost during Hurricane Sandy.  They replaced siding and repaired shelves. The place never looked so could.  They were efficient, fair, trustworthy and caring.  I will use them again -  I can finally say I have a contractor!  I recommend them to any and all. The price estimate reflect Big Deal price and the cost of materials."

"Fantastic!! They are reliable and know their job. Very personable and fair priced."

"Andrea and team are the best. This is the second time they did tile work for us. Removing an old backsplash in the kitchen and replacing with new. Took less than 2 days. Their cleanup after each day was impeccable."

"Professional, quick with a good price . Replaced my water hater I switched from gas to a hybrid electric heat pump rheem brand 80 gallon, full maintenance in the boiler and installed a mop sink with a commercial pump in the basement . Good work"

"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."

"I cannot say enough good things about Dan Bolger and Island Homecraft. Dan is a fantastic project manager who brought in a great team of talented professionals. Everyone came on time and did a wonderful job, quickly, and each was pleasant, patient, and great to work with. Everyone cleaned up at the end of each day and did their best to minimize the inconvenience to our daughter. My husband and I were traveling from New Jersey to help our daughter. Dan did an amazing job in scheduling the crew and subcontractors to make it easy for us to manage our travel and to minimize the time that our daughter was unable to use her space. (I should note that we helped by having all decisions made and all materials ready – this is very important, we know.) The project required a new glass slider, which Kevin and Steve managed to fit into a very tight rough opening (another contractor had been gun-shy to attempt this). It also involved tile work, plumbing, electrical work, and installation of a large amount of cabinets, as well as all new appliances. The cabinets required finished tops since these are visible from the stairs. Kevin completed these beautifully, along with the crown moldings, baseboard trim, and special raised panels on the peninsula. Dan recommended finished under surfaces for the cabinets with LED light strips. These provided a beautiful, sleek look, and we were glad we took his advice. This was not our first rodeo, so with such a big project, we expected a few glitches. Dan and his people took these in their stride and quickly figured out the work arounds, even when it meant extra time and work for them. For instance, when the bookcase above one base cabinet turned out to be too short to quite reach the granite counter, Larry used scraps of trim left from other parts of the kitchen to craft a bottom molding that covers the gap and makes the bookcase look like a piece of fine furniture. Dan also recommended Gary Epstein and his business, 1-800-Paint-Job of Long Island, to paint the rooms when the construction was completed. Gary and his crew did a wonderful job, and we are grateful for the recommendation. Please see my separate review of Gary’s business for details and photos. We have worked with a number of contractors over the years, and Dan is up there in lights. Our daughter’s friend said the pictures do not do justice, and she is right. Many thanks to Dan’s crew, Kevin, Steve, and Larry, for the fine work they did and their courteous, considerate attitude. We look forward to working with Island Homecraft for the additional remodeling still needed at this home. We also want to thank Dan’s subcontractors for their outstanding work: • Gabco Demo arrived early the first morning and had the kitchen stripped in a couple of hours. They moved the old fridge to the living room for temporary use, were careful moving discards and debris out through the living room, and were able to get all the old linoleum tile up from the floor, even the parts stuck on especially tight. They took everything away. • Two Brothers Ceramic Tile arrived very early each day, completed their work super fast with no mistakes, and did not waste one single piece of tile. For the kitchen backsplash, they were able to stretch the marble pencil moldings to substitute for the too-thin edge pieces we’d bought, saving time and money. The tile floors are perfectly level. • Rob Beck of Biagio Plumbing lives locally and was wonderfully available and responsive. He had our daughter’s gas stove and her fridge hooked up and ready to use less than two weeks after demo began so that she could cook while she waited for her counters and other finishes. He also came back to reverse her new front load washer and dryer when we realized the doors banged into each other. Please see my separate review of Biaggio Plumbing. • Shamus, George, and their apprentice, Frank, from Sure Line Electric did a super job installing under cabinet LEDs, relocating switches, outlets, and a security sensor, replacing the porch light and a ceiling light, installing a new larger electrical box and electric for the pump for the new basement slop sink, and trouble-shooting and activating several outlets that didn’t work since the home was built. George saved a good deal of money by assuring us that the electrical panel did not require upgrading to 200 amps (as another contractor had said). He advised us instead to install a larger panel box with more outlets, eliminating the existing crowding and allowing space for the slop sink pump."
