Plumbing reviews in Flushing, New York

Very good service. Trustworthy and reliable! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good plumber!

John Farr help me with my building violation, he explain everything I need to do. , he is very professional. He always answers all my questions and concerns....

John Farr is a truly excellent and honest plumber. He did a GREAT job for a fair price.

We recently used them for an apartment complex I manage to replace one of our boilers. They were very prompt and explained everything. The service was great and the install was a breeze.

John is a very responsive and a professional plumber, my gas meter was locked and he solved the problem. He really did a good job.

Sorry for the late 5 million stars~ If you want your job or violation done asap, he is the guy you should hire. For a fare price and great job done, call him asap. I can sleep well now without the none sense dept of building violations

It's obvious that John has been doing this for a long time because he is very knowledgable. He is also patient and takes time to explain things to you in an open and honest way which I found very comforting. He is responsive as well... even on a Saturday night!!

I called John to correct some work that was done by the previous owner. John listened to my concerns, did a great job, and completed everything (from time of first consult to approval by Department of Buildings) in a timely manner. I am truly grateful.

John Farr was honest in his assessment of the plumbing issue and diligent in his work to resolve it. He was very fair and clearly experienced. I would recommend him without hesitation!

I am strongly recommend this nice and professional licensed plumber. He provides weekends services as well. He makes you feel very comfortable when consulting over the phone. The first impression makes me feel that he is trying to find a better solution instead of repeating the higher charges.

John did a great job on our bathroom sink faucets. The price was reasonable as well. Will look to engage him on future projects.

I had some leaking, corroded pipes in the plumbing for my kitchen sink. John was friendly, responsive, professional, and on time (actually early ^^). I will likely make use of his services in the near future for other needs. I would recommend John to family, friends, or anyone else looking for a plumber. Thanks!

We had a wonderful experience with Mr. Farr. We needed plumbing work done to help legalize our cellar as required by the local DoB. Mr. Farr worked well with our architect, was able to pull the required permits and understood the scope of the job and what was required. We needed to cap off some old water lines along with legalizing our bathroom and eliminating unused gas lines and its associated piping. Additionally he observed other possible issues that the local DoB might address as we needed to bring our cellar up to today's standard code. Sure enough everything he mentioned was brought up by the DoB and corrected as needed. Mr. Farr's knowledge of the local DoB process was instrumental in getting the work inspected and approved in a timely manner. The price for the required work was reasonable based on the scope of the work done. Mr. Farr was pleasant, easy to work with, professional and always on time. I would certainly use Mr. Farr again should we need his services. I have no issues recommending Mr. Farr to family and friends.

John Farr is proffesional and very reliable person. He responded at once and came to my house even it’s a weekend. He took care of our problem on an illegal shower in the basement including all the necessary permit required by the Department of Building. We are very happy with the result and he charged us very reasonably.

John helped set up our gas and get it back on once we bought our first home. He made sure to take care of the whole process and sent information about the whole process. I would recommend to anyone who wants a professional at a reasonable price, will contact again!

John Farr is an outstanding plumber who cut through the red tape and resolved my Dept of Buildings violations with the necessary permits and corrective action. John is a gentleman with whom I had an instant rapport. He is my go to plumber and heating specialist hands down!

I called John because I had 2 violations in my house and I had no idea what to do. I was searching online and I came across John's website (and let me tell you something), I'm so grateful to God I came into contact with John. He has helped me so much by getting the right person, and helping me in removing my violation. It doesn't matter what problem you may have, if he can't do it on his own, he may refer you to someone else. John is the best!

Not a good experience at all. That said, I did not ultimately contract with Mr. Farr. Maybe others will have a positive experience.

John came to my property due to a leak in my basement. He inspected the area and indicated that he believed he could repair the leak but would like to see the upstairs area in case he was unable to access the leak from basement. This seemed reasonable so I called my first floor tenant and the tenant said he needed 10 minutes to clean up. John said he could not wait and would return later in the day.

John arrived later in the day and examined my tenants apartment and said he would do the job for $800. John comes across competent and based on his Google reviews and his $800 price I intended to enter into contract. John said I needed to tender 50% monies, which seemed excessive, but I figured ok. While he went to his car to write up a receipt I called my family and explained the job would be $800 and my family agreed that sounded reasonable.

John returns with standard yellow invoice and all that is written was "$400 paid". I pulled out $400 and look at the invoice and ask "Can you write that the job is $800?". John immediately flashes anger/frustration and expresses that he doesn't need my job and who knows once he opens the basement ceiling what the job will be because he might need to break a wall upstairs. I am taken back by his attitude and tone but still feel he is the right man for the job. I ask Jon further questions about the likelihood of his ability to do the job from the basement at the $800 price and ask him how much it will cost if he needs to break the wall upstairs. John appears frustrated by my questions and indicates he doesn't need my job and I have to trust him that he will do his best to solve the problem from the basement but that if he needs to break the wall upstairs it can be a $2000 - $3000 job. Ok, I think to myself, I understand that he wont know the scope of the job until he begins (that makes sense) and I still have every intention of hiring him.

I indicate to John I need to call my family because my understanding of the job has changed from when I spoke with them 5 minutes earlier. Although I am the decision maker on the job I still confer on advice when making family decisions. John says "so you are not the one who makes the decision?" I explain to John that while he was writing the receipt I called my family and explained the job differently from how he just explained and I need to call them, and have a quick conversation. John takes a step back and says "I don't want your job" . I honestly at this point am becoming angry myself. John's professional demeanor is awful and he seems to be implying my indicating I need to call my family bothers him for some reason.

Ultimately, I wasted a full day speaking to an unprofessional plumber who doesnt understand that (A) no one owes him the belief he operates in good faith, especially when he refuses to memorialize in writing HIS OWN TERMS OF AGREEMENT and (B) rudely implies that my desire to consult with my family on a decision is somehow a personal affront.

My personal opinion is AVOID. Something wrong here at the interpersonal professional level.

When a gas leak was found at my house in The Bronx, my place got booted like a scofflaw car on the street. Once the lock on the line and dreaded red tag from Con Ed appeared I didn’t know what to do. I looked up John Farr and dialed. I had no idea that what would seem like a quagmire of lost money and confusion turned into an incredible experience. At first I was intimidated by the work that I had to contribute to getting the gas turned back on but very quickly it felt like John was looking out for me and we joined forces to tackle the problem. He was always punctual, polite, insightful, honest, and very skilled. His understand of plumbing and New York’s nuances was incredible. I really enjoyed John’s personality and was absolutely satisfied with his work. He has a customer for life and I’d be happy to send work his way anytime going forward-thank you John.

John Farr is an honest and reasonable person. If I could give him more stars I would. I needed help removing a violation and with John’s assistance, I was able to get it removed. John is knowledgeable, provides guidance when needed and his prices are reasonable. He made sure to file all the required paperwork with the Department of Buildings, which made the sign off a breeze. Thank you John!!

John was very professional and responsive when fixing/replacing the gas valve for my stove. He was informative and made sure that I understand bis methods and he's prompt with the updates on his communication with ConEdison. All in all, I recommend him.
