I actually had no intention of leaving a review, just came here to confirm my suspicions, though…read morenow I feel I should weigh in given the other negative experiences (and the plumber's baffling response to Erin B.). Agree with the concept of grifting. I paid this plumber thousands of dollars to do basic plumbing work in our new co-op, and knew I was being vastly overcharged but did it because he was known to our contractor and building. But here's the RUB: As part of the work, we had the plumber install a water line for an icemaker, and another completely shady outlet, AJ Madison, delivered the wrong refrigerator -- meaning the day BEK Plumbing was finishing work in the kitchen, no icemaker could be installed. Fast forward six weeks -- we finally get the correct refrigerator delivered, and just to come back and finish the work we'd paid for, BEK/Dzema wanted $550. TO HOOK UP AN ICE LINE THAT WE'D PAID HIM FOR. It's so egregious it's almost funny. We were left in the lurch with the wrong refrigerator and he wanted to FURTHER PROFIT off our hardship. Meantime, the dishwasher he installed leaks and doesn't work properly, but in a MILLION YEARS I'd never let this grifter back into our apartment. Clearly with these "business" practices and lack of ethics he's struggling -- and he should. Constantly trying to cheat people catches up with you eventually.

I would not recommend working with Jack Bek…read more I needed a shower cartridge replaced, and the experience was frustrating from start to finish. He cancelled on me twice with next to no communication. When I was able to reach him by phone, he was argumentative and dismissive. I came away feeling that my job was an inconvenience and far less important than the other projects he had going on. After repeated delays and ignored phone calls, I finally told my superintendent that I was no longer interested in working with Jack and would find someone else. Ironically he became available within the hour. What made the experience especially disappointing is that I had hired him for a kitchen plumbing job the year before. I expected a returning customer to be treated with at least a basic level of professionalism and respect, but that wasn't my experience. Poor communication, unreliable scheduling, inflated pricing, and an unprofessional attitude. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I would not recommend this plumber based on my experience. Communication was extremely poor, with several missed appointments and little to no follow-up. He repeatedly claimed that special parts were needed to complete the repairs, but after weeks of delays and no resolution, my son was able to make the repairs himself. If you value reliability, professionalism, and timely service, I would suggest looking elsewhere. It was frustrating to waste so much time waiting for someone who never followed through on the work they promised.

Luckily somebody on our neighborhood Facebook group recommended Tommy a while back and I left him a voice message. He called back right away, was available the next morning, showed up on time, fixed our issues in no time and was overall a really nice person to deal with. I hope we won't have any plumbing issues for a while, but I'll definitely make sure to save his number. Not affiliated in any way, but I was so happy with his service that I want to pay it forward and will definitely pass on his contact details to others who may ask for a plumber recommendation or not :) Happy to attest to the previous two reviews here on Yelp. Give Tommy a call if you're in search of a great plumber!

He installed a new slop sink and washing machine with all the necessary piping, and also repaired some corroded pipes that were causing a slow leak near the hot water heater. He later installed a new boiler and storage tank, and completed a large amount of work throughout the house, including installing all first-floor radiators, a bathroom sink upstairs, replacing a leaking cast iron kitchen pipe, installing a new kitchen faucet, and changing out the backyard hose bib. He also replaced a faulty valve for the washing machine. About a year later, when one of the radiators wasn't heating properly, Phil came back and fixed the issue at no charge, which really showed the quality of his work and that he stands behind it. Overall, the service has been reliable, the work has been high quality, and I felt the value was there for everything that was done. I highly recommend this company.

Next A. J. Perri comes out because drain is clogged. That person said probably a bird or animal clogged the vent on the roof. He left - never even tried to clear the drain. He said maybe a new toilet. He left. Called Advanced, John Lyman came out. Looked over the drains (sink and shower) no others were backed up. He cleared the clog and we were good. He told me it is guaranteed for 30 days and don't hesitate to call us if it clogs again. Amen to an honest company. Summary - don't use A. J. Perri - use Advanced - a family-owned business that cares about its reputation and work - It does not try to sell you anything you don't need.
