David was great to work with. We had a cracked toilet tank. I found a promotion for a new Toto Toilet from American Plumbing Supply through Angie's List. This was an old promotion but they honored it anyway. David came out the next morning and within an hour we had a new toilet! He was very courteous and even took the old toilet away. Everything was top notch. Will definitely use again.
Description of Work: Replaced toilet.

The guy was very busy and fit me in because I had an emergency. He came the same afternoon and had to leave and get parts it only took him a couple of hours. He is very good at what he does. He was clean and tidy and everything I wanted except for the multiple flushes. He is very ecological and mentioned he would put in a new toilet, but there wasn't time due to the short notice and I was very concerned about my floor. The price was very reasonable for everything he did. I've intended to call him back, but due to my schedule I haven't had the time.
Description of Work: He kind of fixed the toilet, but it takes multiple flushes to get the toilet to flush.

APS has the exact tub drain to fit my very old porcelain tub. looks like brand new now. Took in the old one, and they took the time to find all the right parts from 2 different packages. Price was about what I expected for specialty parts. Parts are all brass - I'm sure it will last another 90 years.
Description of Work: APS supplied the tub drain and connectors.

Great: in stock, reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Dave is a wonderful resource. Whenever I need specialized repair parts for non-big-box fixtures like Toto, Grohe, etc. Dave not only knows exactly what I should buy but has it in stock. He is an encyclopedia of plumbing knowledge. For example, he can suggest particular aftermarket parts that will substitute very well for special order Toto OEM repair parts. Forget Lowes, Home Depot, hardware stores for parts and fixtures and drive to the East Village to American. They've got the solution.

I love my plumber. I have used him before. He was recommended by America Plumbing Supply. The provider is actually a small business owner. He is really great with his customers because he pays attention to whatever your need is. Even if it is his worker’s doing the work he will check on them. His prices are good. He is honest and prompt. In my case, he helped me do some of the work myself so I could save some money. He is just wonderful. I like his general demeanor about everything. He is dedicated to what he is doing and he does it well. He doesn't try to drive his prices up. You get good work for a good price and that is good for this day and age.
Description of Work: They provided plumbing services in our home.

I have a older home built in the early thirties with the original plumbing. I disassembled some leaky faucets and toilets and went to the national chain hardware stores to find replacement parts with no success. Not only did they not have the parts they sometimes didn't even recognize them as part of a plumbing assembly. I walked into American and the person at the counter was able to tell me immediately the manufacturer and how many years the piece had been produced. They had all the pieces and provided some helpful hints on reassembly. Not inexpensive but worth it to keep my classic fixtures in working order.
Description of Work: Acquired replacement parts for sink and toilet
