My original contact with Mr.Aumenta to make the appointment was extremely professional and informative. He took the time to ask a lot of questions regarding the problem I was having, explained in detail what he felt needed to be done as well as gave me an overview of his company's work history. The two plumbers who arrived to perform the job were prompt, professional, efficient and courteous. They completed the work in record time and took the time to thoroughly clean the entire area that they worked in. Overall this was a fantastic experience and I would not only use their services again but highly recommend them to everyone.

Carmine P. Aumenta Plumbing & Heating are definitely plumbers that we will be using again. The estimate and work performed were reasonable and professional. We were excited that this plumber even knew what a single pipe steam system was, because many plumbers that I called didn't understand the system and refused to come out and even look at it. The actual repair work was great and we noticed our heating system working more efficiently right away. Not to mention the last thing that the Plumber did was ensure that the entire area he was working in was left clean, in fact cleaner than he found it.
Description of Work: We had Carmine P. Aumenta Plumbing & Heating correct a pipe that was routed the wrong way in our single pipe steam system. Additionally they repaired a leaking radiator and toilet.

Thank you for your very positive review. I've been in business for over 35 years and yes because I am older I have had plenty of experience with these older systems and am glad that I am able to pass it down to my sons. Anything else you need in the future please give me a call. I would be glad to work with you.

I called Carmine Aumenta after PSE&G came to look at my leaking heating system and told me that what was wrong with it wasn't covered under the worry-free agreement. When I called Carmine he said they would call the next day before coming over. He called the next day as promised shortly after noon and said someone would be there within minutes. It was Ben Aumenta who came, examined the unit and very carefully explained what was needed and showed me how the previous plumber who worked on the system (who had totally ripped me off in retrospect) had done extremely sloppy work. Ben was extremely curteous and thorough, spent until nearly 6:00 pm working on it, and cleaned up everything when he was done. I am 100% satisfied with Aumenta Plumbing and Heating and will definitely call them again the next time I need a plumber.

Thank you for your review. It's ironic how many calls I get that PSE&G does'nt handle or are not covered under their warranties... I am glad that we were able to help you and thank you for your business. I wish more customers could see that an honest, qualified plumber could do more for them than PSE&G can for less money.

There was an ever growing water spot on my bedroom closet ceiling. I was given an arrival time of late morning and he did not arrive until 3 pm. I understand it is difficult to estimate and it was a holiday week with same day service, which I appreciate, but it was difficult To schedule around and later then I was told. He arrived and was very pleasant and did the best he could under the circumstances. As it is a Condo building he was limited in what work he could perform but he helped identify where the problem was coming from. I felt the price was a bit high for service performed but all in all it was positive, they seem like an honest company and I would recommend them in the future.
Description of Work: Plumber arrived in response to a leak collecting on my bedroom ceiling. He cut a hole in the ceiling expecting to find a pipe directly above but determined it was coming from another condo above me and without access he could Not investigate any further.

See above. Also, I'm not sure of the home build year but I believe it's around 1970.
Description of Work: I needed a contractor to look at the malfunctioning HVAC unit in a property I rent out, and can't travel to easily. Although Carmine's expertise is not in the type of unit I have, he graciously offered to take a look at it. Carmine then promptly called me to report the problem and offer suggestions on the next step I needed to take. While he may not have provided a service in the technical sense (i.e.--he didn't do a repair), to me, he provided an invaluable service. And he's a real nice guy!

As a result of Hurricane Sandy, we lost power and heat in our 3-family home located in Jersey City. When power was restored, there was an issue w/ heat reaching the 3rd floor unit. We have an older oil heat boiler and radiator heating in our home. We left a message for Mr. Aumenta on Sunday. Within the hour, he returned our call and agreed to come over the following morning. Mr. Aumenta informed us that we needed to drain the heating system, and replace several parts (new expansion tank, replacement piping and fittings, replacement vent and relief and isolation valves), refill the heating system and purge air from each of the radiators. He agreed to return later in the week to do the repairs after we coordinated with the tenants in each of the units. He was extremely flexible in accommodating our needs and the schedules of each of the tenants. In the interim, he was able to get some heat to the 3rd floor unit. Mr. Aaumenta returned and finished the repairs as agreed at the price he quoted. After the work was completed he even offered several suggestions re: our heating system that should save us $$$ going forward. Mr. Aumenta will be our first call in the future for any plumbing and heating repair work. I intend to have Mr. Aumenta return in the Spring to give me an estimate on a brand new gas heating system.

One of our boilers broke. And despite gas rationing following Hurricane Sandy making it difficult for him to get gas for his trucks and a long list of clients clamoring for his attention, he was extremely responsive and prepared to travel over 30 minutes to take a look at our boiler and give us an estimate/opinion about whether it could be saved. But I felt bad about putting him out and had him hold off coming until gas was more available. And we wound up making other arrangements in the interim. My bad... I intend to write him a check anyway for his sharing his substantial knowledge and being willing to put himself out like he did. I was very impressed. It's obvious why he's in such demand and has so many great reviews on this site. We won't hesitate to call him again anytime we have a heating/plumbing issue.
Description of Work: Services weren't performed. But that was my fault -- with an assist from Mother Nature.

Overall, I did not use them because of their awful service
Description of Work: Absolutely awful people. I would never deal with them again... EVER !!! During the flood they comlete inflated their prices and were extremely rude, abnoxious and unreliable. When I asked when they would come to my house one of them told me to "go f* myself". That is completely unprofessional. I would never recommend them to my worst enemy.

Response from Carmine P. Aumenta Plumbing & Heating NJ
I’m appreciative that I have the opportunity to be able to give my version of what transpired with this customer. Upon my first discussion with him it was apparent that he would be a completely awful customer to deal with. He was very demanding and expected us to give him priority over the hundreds of calls from customers who were already patiently waiting due to hurricane Sandy. He kept calling repeatedly and then when he started to get sarcastic it was at this point that I told him we would not be interested in doing business with him. I do not understand how he can say we inflated our prices when we never even got to the point of discussing price as it is my policy not to give pricing over the phone. It is amazing how when someone is told you don’t want to do business with them that they can become so vindictive. I wish there were an Angie's List for contractors to protect us from bad customers.

The entire process was quick and efficient. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Carmine Jr came to provide a free estimate of our leaking kitchen ceiling. He rolled up his sleeves and jumped right in to assess what the trouble was. He determined that the upstairs toilet had been improperly sealed and that the toilet should be reset and resealed while possibly replacing the flange if necessary. I asked for a quote and found it reasonable. He got right to work. In no time he sealed the toilet using plaster rather than the inferior caulking. In doing so, he also cleaned beneath the stool where water had accumulated. Carmine was very professional and fielded questions that I had about the process. He had a pleasant sense of humor and I would certainly ask for him and this company the next time I need plumbing or heating service.

DIdn't use this last time and won't again - see above for his statement not to call him.
Description of Work: Carmine had done much work previously. We had broken the main water line coming in from the street and there was no shutoff. I called 2 plumbers, since this was an emergency. The 2nd plumber arrived first, so I call Carmine again as a courtesy. He called my wife and told her never to call him again. Rude. He had also been quite rude and arrogant during some previous work, and he had lost other work partly for arrogance and partly because he was significantly more expensive. His attitude seems to be that I should be happy that he's working for me, rather than him being glad to get the work.

Response from Carmine P. Aumenta Plumbing & Heating NJ
This report is confusing to me as I have never done any work for a member. My only connection to the member was in the past when he would recommend me to cusomers where he had been unable to complete their jobs because he is an unlicensed plumber/handyman and I was needed as a professional to complete the work. (I wonder why he would have kept recommending me if he didn't think I was as good as I am?) I get mostly perfect reviews from the Angie's List customers that I actually do work for. In the past I did plenty of jobs for his new wife and in the home of her ex-husband who I became friendly with until he passed away. I had never received any complaints from his wife or her ex-husband before Bill Arnsten came into the picture. I sense there may be a little professional jealousy here. I stopped doing work for his new wife because I found I was only going there to do estimates for work that I was never getting. But when the member broke this valve in her house they still called me for my help. I replied within the same day of her call to find out that they had already gotten someone else so I politely told her to please not call me for any future work. I feel it was vindictive on his part for writing this report when they found out they could not use my company for any future work. Regarding the grades, he wrote a "D" for price and an "F" for responsiveness yet I never did any work for him.

The guy called back after I left a message. He sounded very rude and aggressive. Knowing the place needs work is different from where I live, he asked for my current address, and work address. I asked why he needed those now. He did not answer, and instead he just said he need those info. I was scared for a bit, and said I did not want to reveal those info for now. He did not say anything else, and just hung up the phone...I thought he would at least explain to me a bit more about his policy or purpose for getting those addresses, but I guess he was just too cool to bother...

It was very difficult communicating wth the member. She also had difficulty comprehending what I was asking her. I had asked for her home address and information which she refused to give me as it is my company policy so that I would know who I would be working for just as it is necessary for her to know my information so she would know who she is dealing with. I also asked for the address where the work was to be done and she misunderstood and thought that I was asking for her work address...which was not the case. She did not understand this and in her response she even mentions again that I asked for her work address which I did not. This is just normal business. I honestly do not feel that I was short with her and politely explained that I would not be interested in doing work with her if she was not willing to give me her information. I think anyone would be skeptical in working with someone who was not even willing to give you their basic information.

Carmine responded within a few minutes of my initial phone call requesting an estimate for a replacement water heater. He came in person with a half-hour, gave an estimate and had a crew on the job within two hours. Everyone was very professional and did the replacement quickly and neatly. i will definitely be using them again.

Plumbers arrived and immediately started work on the toilets. One plumber disconnected upstairs toilet while other plumber unpacked new toilet. One plumber worked on installing new toilet upsairs while the other plumber reinstalled used toilet in the basement. Both plumbers worked to connect permanent copper to plastic pipe in the basement. Water was turned off, system drained, copper pipe was soldered and connected to new plastic to copper connector. Plumber then assembled and connected new main floor bathroom faucet including new drain. Plumbers carried out all old/discarded materials and cleaned up after all work was finished. Total time was approximately 3 - 3.5 hours.

Description of Work: Not very accommodating in trying to give me a time frame for setting up an appointment. Even after suggesting that I may have to call another company to try to get a time window of when they would arrive. Not a good first impression, they may do good work, but they may waste a lot of time to get the job started.

Response from Carmine P. Aumenta Plumbing & Heating NJ
Our company is based on honesty, integrity and professionalism. We take pride in serving our customers the best we possibly can. Member called our company to have some work done at his property and asked for an exact time that we would be able to send a mechanic. We schedule our appointments by morning or afternoon. The reason for this is because our workers go from job to job. It is very difficult to predict exactly how long the mechanic will take to complete the work at the previous job. We do not want to disappoint our customers by showing up late, if we were to quote exact times. We clearly and politely offered Member a time frame (morning or afternoon). He explained that he works in New York and would take an hour to get to the job location. We even offered to call him ahead to give a lead time, to allow him to travel to the job location. He responded that he would have to continue on then to find someone that would give an exact time. Unfortunately we were unable to help Member under these circumstances.

Outstanding! The final effect was, as our plumber said, life changing! Our dishwasher no longer squeals. Our washer fills up in five minutes instead of twenty. Our showers are much faster because the increase in pressure lets us rinse much better. The entire process took about three hours. They cleaned up everything. It looks better than it did before they came. They told us the proper methods for turning off the water if there was ever an emergency. We will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: Asked them to determine why we had such low water pressure. It took over an hour to wash one load of clothes because it took the washer so long to fill during the cycle. They discovered that the water had been turned down at the street level in front of our house and that the internal valves were old and blocking water. They fixed the external valve and replaced the internal valves.
