They come promptly. I needed a toilet and sink for a new half-bathroom. They had to bring the waste pipe a distance vertically to connect horizontally with main. That may have added to cost. I've used them for many years. I never use anyone else for my three-family brownstone.

He was very nice. His prices are reasonable. Later: it turns out my dehumidifier still isn't connected up to my main drain, and has had to be emptied manually two times each day. I've called the company and asked them to refund my money so I can get another plumber to fix it, they promised they'd send me a check, but it has been two weeks and I haven't received it.

In fact we and quot;inheritedand quot; John Hlad from the previous owners who may have inherited them in turn. Sadly John Hlad, who often used to do the work here himself, passed away in December 2012, but the new boss (I think it's his son?) is just as reliable and pleasant to have around. They've installed an entire bathroom, a dishwasher and a refrigerator line, replaced a toilet, and repaired several leaks. Always on time, responsive on the phone, and fair rates. Would not use anyone else.

I have only the best and highest recommendation regarding John Hlad Plumbing and Heating. My boiler need to be replaced in the middle of winter. Joe, of John Hlad Plumbing, came to give a very competitive estimate on Monday afternoon and, by Tuesday we had a professionally installed new boiler. The entire team (Joe, et al) was professional, efficient and careful with a complex installation that came off without any problems. The level of communication throughout the entire process was terrific and, rather than leave as soon as the job was arguably done, they stayed to make certain that every aspect of the system was working to my satisfaction. For those in and quot;Brownstone Brooklynand quot; I would recommend John Hlad Plumbing and Heating without any hesitation.

Have used John Hlad Plumbing for various plumbing repairs over many years and found them to be generally very reliable. Discovered leak in my old heater on Christmas Eve and was told by Homeserve maintenance company on Christmas it needed replacement. Left message with Hlad and received callback early next morning from John's son-in-law Joseph who now runs the company. Said he could be over in half an hour for estimate. His price was well within the range predicted by the Homeserve guy and below that of another company that gave me a quote by phone. He came back with the replacement heater that afternoon and installed it quickly and efficiently. I learned sadly that John, the original company owner, passed way recently. He was a no nonsense straight-talking guy whose opinion I trusted. Various members of his family are involved in carrying on the business. His grandson, who helped with the heater installation, pointed out that a partially shut valve below my bathroom sink was the only reason for what I thought was a more serious problem, reinforcing my sense of their honesty. At one time I thought their prices were getting a bit high, but they were very reasonable for this and I really appreciated how quickly they did the work. It's nice to see that John's family members, whom he heIped train, are carrying on the business as his legacy

They are very reliable. They come when they say they will, and are generally reasonable about pricing. They also describe what the work is going to entail, and they don't work on commission.

You could do a lot worse than hiring this vendor. He has been doing this kind of work for over 30 years and assesses the job well; he knows how to price it and you get what you pay for.

I have been really happy with this company up until recently. The problem is that I feel it's unfair to charge me equally for the two times that the faucet was not fixed. I thought there should have been a reduction in the total service charge. They are a good company and do good work, but this experience left a sour taste in my mouth.
Description of Work: They came two times, and were here for five minutes, for about $100 a trip. They tightened something on the hose from one of my tennant's faucets, but it would break afterward. The third time, one of their men said I had to replace the entire faucet, that the part that was broken couldn't be replaced.

I had called Hlad Plumbing on Saturday when they were closed and they called me back first thing Monday morning. They said they would be able to come between 9:30 and 11:00AM that day. They showed up at 9:00 AM which I greatly appreciated. The plumber was very professional and diagnosed and fixed the problem very quickly. He also fixed a mix-up with the hot and cold water hook-ups on a faucet that I had had a handyman install the day before and he installed a soap dispenser. I was happy with the service and the price.
Description of Work: My kitchen sink was leaking. Hlad Plumbing came and found that the pipes were clogged but there was also corrosion.

I had water leaking through the bottom of my basement wall.I called a well known plumbing company and they came by and looked at the problem. They then said they would charge me aprox.$500-$1000 just to knock down part of the wall to find out were the water was coming from. I then called John Hlad Plumbing and spoke to the secretary about my problem. She then said that the plumber would call me back, he did in a few hours. I then spoke to the plumber on the phone about my water problem. The plumber then asked me certain questions about my water leak in the basement wall. He then said that it was a city water pipe leak and to call DEP and that they would come over and look at the problem. I called the DEP and they came and looked at my basement and my next door neighbors basement. After the DEP looked at my next door neighbors basement,the water leaking in my basement stopped. John Hlad Plumbings honesty and professionalism saved me time and money and I will use them in the future.
