    Amerikhomes gave me a very reasonable price to install a mini split in my living room. Leon and Omar arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. They did a really neat job and cleaned up when they were done. The mini split both looks and performs great! Thank you Amerikhomes!

    Leon arrive on time and ready to take care of a tricky job. I am having all steam radiator in place stripped, restored and powder coated. Leon knew exactly what to expect and came prepared for any of the complications associated with old steam radiators that may not have been touched or maintained in ages. He had to cut away several of the steam valves to safely decouple them from the floor pipes. This is huge, because if you do not remove properly you could risk damage to the floor pipe which turns into a huge job instead of putting in the extra effort to finesse things. 100% would recommend, all of the radiators removed and now ready for pickup by the restoration company. I'll work with Leon when the finished product has been received and we're ready to re-install. Thanks Leon

    Brand new unit waiting to be installed outside

    I renovated my home and decided I didn't want a steam boiler and individual large air conditioners along with steam radiators for heat but still needed both Heat and Cooling. I contacted Amerikhomes and made an appointment for Leon to swing by to get an opinion on a new system. He came on time and recommended a mini split system as the solution which would be my primary source for both heating and cooling. We agreed on a system and moved forward with the installation. He ran the piping/wiring and drainage for the units in each room but didn't mount the units until the sheetrock was up. Once the sheetrock was up, he mounted the units and brazed the piping. He advised fittings was not the way to go because as time passes, it may produce a leak and because all the piping is inside the wall, it'll be very difficult to get to whereas brazing is more a permanent connection so he sealed each location via brazing. This was not a 1 time visit. The installation required a multitude of visits to complete. Once everything was installed and ready to be powered on, we went ahead and briefly tested it. The A/C was blowing ice cold and the Heat was nice and warm. No issues during the summer with the A/C but when winter came, a serious problem started to occur. In heat mode, the defrost came on which in itself is not unusual but what was is the fact that it would not turn off. The defrost cycle continued to run to the point where the inside units would start building up frost and ice and the only way for the unit to start heating up again was if you turned off all the indoor units and turned them back on. I contacted Leon to inform him and he couldn't find any issues with his work and that it has to be the unit. Justifiably, he will have to charge me to troubleshoot the unit to pinpoint the problem. For months, Leon and the vendor went back and fourth pointing out the possible causes for the issue but the vendor continued blaming Leon's work and Leon kept explaining that the issue was with the unit so they would not pay him to troubleshoot the unit itself. At this point, we were at the "tail end" of winter and ended up putting up with powering down all the units and powering them back on when the defrost issue started. It took months back and fourth with the vendor and manufacturer that winter had already passed and heat was no longer needed. Towards the end of summer I decided to take matters into my own hands and go based on what Leon mentioned to me being possible causes. he told me that it could be one of 3 things. Either a bad thermistor, a bad controller board or not enough Freon. Well, I know the charge was good because Leon had tested the unit countless times in front of me and the PSI was the same each time. I started with the cheapest item which was to purchase 3 thermistors. Tested each new thermistor and swapped them out. Upon testing the old ones, I found them to be functioning correctly but decided to leave the new ones in place anyways. Well... If the Thermistors were good and the PSI was within range, then the only other item according to Leon is the Controller board but would have to pay out of pocket since the manufacturer would not take responsibility and would charge me $678.00 for the controller. Keep in mind that i already spent thousands on the unit and the installation just to spend spend loads more on an expensive part for a brand new unit less than 1 year old. I refuse to further fund the manufacturer and decided to get the part on my own. I found a controller board from china for less than half the cost the manufacturer charged me. The part arrived ~ 3 weeks after I purchased it and went ahead that same day to swap it out. I took pictures of each part to make sure I put everything in the right place once disassembled. Long story short, I completed the swap. Also had to "de-bug" the system for it to recognize the indoor units. The whole process took me a good 3 hours. It was not cold enough to test because the temps outside were in the mid 60's so I had to wait until it got colder to turn the heat on. 3 weeks have passed where the heat needed to be used and finally started using the heater. After crossing my fingers, the unit, after 4 hours of being ran went into defrost (as it should) but came out of it as it supposed to do. It has been 3 months and not a single time did the defrost get stuck. LEON WAS RIGHT! Despite not charging me for the work/advice, he gave me the information to figure out what the problems could be. I have to say Leon was excessively patient during this whole headache and charged me not a penny more than the cost for the installation. Most installers would have said "everything on my end is good. Good luck dealing with the manufacturer" but Leon stuck around through the rough patches. He is fair on price, knowledgeable and patient. I will always use him for future reference anything HVAC related... I advise/recommend you to do the same.

    Is there a different phone number or a website? Tried calling three times in the last two weeks and left a voicemail. Nobody picks up or calls back.

    Hi, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please call 718-600-1907 or email us at Amerikhomes@gmail.com. you can also leave a number to best reach you and we will call you back.

    What was his original charge for the visit and the hourly rate thereafter?

    I believe it was approx $11-12K but I never got an in home assessment. I would insist on one before I would agree to any work. I received different estimates & different BTU recommendations depending on the Brand. I eventually went with Daikin.

    I want to preface this review by urging anyone considering hiring this company to try as much as…read moreyou can to find a good local plumber. Without question you are going to pay at least twice (more likely 3x or 4x) the amount it would cost to get a good local plumber and you're money is at least supporting a local small business and most of that money is going into the pocket of the technician. Plumbing issues are one of those things I hate dealing with and that put you in a difficult position due to their urgency. This is really the only reason why I reached out to such a large name brand like Roto-Rooter when I saw that my main drainage line in my basement was leaking. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was something I wanted taken care of quickly and correctly and was willing to pay extra for that. A technician showed up within the window stated. He looked at the leak and gave me a quote of $1200. As I expected, it was high, but as long as it was going to be quality work with a guarantee, I was willing to pay it. He said he couldn't fix it that day and stated that it wasn't a bad leak, so it was not going to cause any serious flooding. After telling him my availability in the evenings, he wanted to push the job to the end of the week. At that point, I was not going to have him do the work, but once I made that clear, he said he'd get it done this week. We made an appointment for Tuesday at 5:00, and he wanted a $250 deposit, which I provided. He arrived Tuesday at 5:00. Though it wasn't a big deal, I would like to note that he didn't even offer to wear booties in the house (I used to work as a cable technician, and this was standard). In any event, he starts working and essentially cuts out around 5 to 6 feet of the old, rotted steel pipe. Though there were threads in both the lower and upper fittings, he did not use them. Instead, he used rubber couplers to join the PVC to the remaining iron pipes. I don't know if this is industry standard, but you would think that it would be best to use the threads if at all possible; however, I assume that the threading itself may be rotted and not provide a good seal as well. After he finished, about 2 hours later while cleaning up the basement, I decided to check on the pipe. I noticed water on the floor. The pipe was leaking from both the upper and lower couplers. This has to be a routine plumbing job, so it is difficult to understand how an experienced plumber could not get this right, especially for the price. It was now 9 PM, so I texted the number he gave me. No reply. I called the general number, and the representative said a plumber would be out in 2 hours to fix the job. 5 minutes later, she calls back and tells me that the original technician communicated to the office that he was not finished with the job and the job was not fully 'coded' in the system. She then said she did not have any senior technicians that could come out that night. At this point, I started to smell BS and asked whether or not the work was guaranteed, and she said she could not tell me because it was not coded in the system. I then asked her, 'Doesn't Roto-Rooter offer a general guarantee of work? If so, could she explain what it covers?' She goes on to say that without seeing the information the technician needs to put in, she can't tell me anything about guaranteed work. Her attitude at this point was getting more and more dismissive. She had zero empathy for the fact that I just overpaid--probably by a factor of 3--for poor-quality work, which she can't even articulate the terms of the guarantee offered by her company. I then ask if there is anyone I could speak to who can tell me what my rights are under Roto-Rooter's guarantee, and she becomes increasingly indignant, stating, 'I don't understand what you are asking.' I stated, 'I think it's fairly clear: I had work done, which was paid for, but it failed, and now I have to wait an indefinite amount of time for another technician to attempt to fix the work of the last technician. Hence, at this point, it is relevant to me to know what the guarantee covers. Is it a money-back guarantee? Do I just have to have them keep re-doing the work until it is satisfactory?' At this point I fully read the invoice and the legal text therein. It clearly states that they can choose to "do the work again at no labor cost or REFUND YOUR PAYMENT". The next day after leaving a poor review on Google (how they got 4.8 stars there is a complete mystery), leaving messages on their customer service line, and sending emails, I got a call from a customer service representative. I gave him my concerns and asked to be refunded. He said that is something they rarely do. The whole point of me turning to a well-known brand like Roto-Rooter was to avoid these rinky-dink problems and low quality, but it's clear that the extra money you're paying for their service goes to promote the brand and advertising, not quality technicians or customer service.

    Things did not go anywhere with Roto-Rooter. One guy and an apprentice came to see my kitchen sink…read morethat was clogged. After a short look, the plumber said he would unclog it for $450!

If you are not rich, avoid Roto-Rooter.

Our decision was made based on Gale who provided me with great customer service by answering my questions and concerns with such professionalism and patience. She had someone at our house within the hour to assess the situation at hand. That, someone, was Kenny. He assessed the situation and advised us that someone will contact us with a price. I honestly thought the leaks we had from our bathroom through the kitchen ceiling (already made holes in our ceiling) were going to cost us both our arms and legs. Gale called us back with a very reasonable and fair price for the work to be done. Which was to find the leaks, repair them and replace both our toilet and vanity. We agreed on the set price and scheduled for work to start the next day. Kenny showed up bright and early and on time with a mask on. He wore it at all times. He did all the purchases of materials needed, breakdown, repairs, and installations. What I was most worried about was the mess that I would have to deal with afterward. There was nothing much for us to do but to sweep a second time, wipe down, and mop because he cleaned up after himself, took out all the garbage, and took everything with him. That's including the old toilet and vanity plus the boxes the new ones came in. We were so impressed by that because the other companies told us we would be responsible for all of that. After the work was done, he advised us to call in immediately if we saw or heard any leaks. The only call I had to make was a "Thank you" one. I don't know about anyone else but from beginning to the end it was an amazing experience and a job very well done! We highly recommend their services to all and anyone we know! Thank you very much Gale and Kenny at L Richards Plumbing & Heating! If we ever need you again we will definitely give you a call.

It was like the death of all of us... My family and I endured seven long haul months of endless night sleep listening to the toilet run and leaking to rise hot water to stifling hot while one takes a shower. The toilet was immensely wasting water!! In addition, the shower's faucet was also immensely wasting water by dripping like a sick running nose. After two no-shows from this plumbing company of this week and finally a show today, the plumber replaced the toilet's motor, stoppage drain, chain, and toilet's chrome handle with the addition of two new washers of the shower's faucet, and new "hot" and "cold" shower knobs. This company's fees are by the hour for labor, and parts/ materials which totaled an utter gargantuan sum of $275.00. Woodhaven Plumbing & Heating is the area's local plumber as my family have utilize their services in the past. I rate Woodhaven Plumbing & Heating four stars as they have bad attendance of having two no-shows despite of numerous appointments with the added incentive office location within walking distance-- ergo, no excuse! After removing the existing parts of the toilet and shower knobs, the dude announced: "these parts are very bad that I put in all new parts buddy." Duh, really... no kidding Sherlock! That's why you're here to fix it dude! In addition, the work of this plumber is very sloppy as after the dude completed the job he left a gargantuan mess with debris everywhere in our bathroom. Personally, I believe all plumbers leave a mess with debris everywhere to make clients' lives hell as I spent much of the afternoon cleaning the dude's mess.
