New I contacted Big Apple Installations to replace the steam radiators in my apartment and I'm glad I did. They were friendly, helpful, and provided a quote the next day. The install was professional and fast. Highly recommended! Services Heating system installation

This company is easily the most unprofessional plumbing company that I have come across. During a storm our water heater broke. My partner called this company to fix the problem. Without coming to the house and over the phone, they told us that it was the motor and that it had to be replaced (an, $800 job). They had to order it, so we waited two days and lived without hot water until the part came. When the plumber came to the house, he said that it was actually the gas valve and replaced the gas valve. He then tells us that the entire heater needs to be replaced because it is submerged in water (not sure why he couldn't see that when he first came). He quoted us $3,000 to replace the heater. My partner and I work in real estate and we know that the replacement cost of our water heater is $1500. I ended up calling another plumber and this was his quote (with an initial quote of $1000). After we told the receptionist,Jessica that we're going with someone else ,she sent us an invoice for $1100. I told her that we will not pay for items and services that weren't needed and that we found a plumber that will replace the water heater for half of what they quoted. She then became belligerent! Saying that we found a plumber off the street (I wish plumbers were in such abundance). The owner ended up only charging us for the parts he used, and not the labor. These parts weren't needed, he should have taken them. He also said that he laid in our basement for an hour (isn't that what plumbers do?). In the end we had to pay $600 to this company for their mistakes. However, in total the money we spent was still significantly less than if we ended up using thBig Apple. BTW the plumber we used is licensed. The difference is that he isn't a scammer and he is professional. Our brownstone needs a lot of work and I know who we will continue to use. As real estate agents we also refer plumbers to our clients and I will never recomend this company. I would never use this company unless you want to pay atleast twice the going rate for parts and labor.

Reasonable price | $2,000+ Nick was an incredible help navigating a complicated old job filing that was missing a ton of information and need fair bit of rework. He stayed on top of everything, handled the re-filing and corrections needed to make sure we passed and got the job completely signed off. His communication throughout the entire process was top-notch. Highly recommend Nick and his team. Extremely reliable and knowledgeable (difficult combo) Services Service not listed

My regular plumber recommended this company after National Grid shut off the gas due to a gas leak in the home. It was a huge ordeal yet in the end it all turned out in good standing with The Dept. Of Buildings who had to approve the repairs that were done. The team of workers all knew their stuff very well and did a great job. I recommended this company to anyone in the area needing this type of business. Services Plumbing leak detection, Plumbing pipe repair

Great price Big Apple provided exceptional service from start to finish. They were responsive, fast, professional, and efficient during a very stressful situation. What stood out most was that they even checked in after the job was completed, which is something I’ve never experienced with a plumbing company before. Their level of care and customer service was truly above and beyond. I highly recommend Big Apple Plumbing — definitely 10/10. Services Plumbing pipe repair

We installed a new boiler for our home and we could not be happier with the service and competitive pricing. Nick and his crew are highly responsive, friendly and professional. They took the time to explain things and answer questions and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. Highly recommend Big Apple.

Great price | $1,000+ My gas was completely closed off by National Grid due to leaks. I contacted Big Apple Installations and Nick Rosen responded without delay. His company was contracted for the job that was done expeditiously. Thanks to Nick and his excellent plumbers, Hugh, Anthony, and I am missing one more name. Sorry! Thanks again.

Reasonable price | $400–500 Nick and his crew are true professionals. I called Big Apple for a small rough-in job for an icemaker water line box. They fit me in the next day and made short work of the installation. The workers are professional, polite, and respectful when entering your home. No BS, just reliable plumbing work and worth every penny. Services Service not listed

Reasonable price We had a great experience with Big Apple Installations. Our plumber, Anthony, was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knew what he was doing. He took the time to explain everything and made sure the job was done right. The team was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything smooth and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Big Apple Installations and will be using their services again in the future. Services Heating system repair

Reasonable price | $1,000+ I contacted Big Apple Installations to conduct an inspection for a water heater that they didn’t install to make sure everything was good & that it was appropriately inspected. Nick was informative, responsive & a great communicator. The inspection was completed & cleared quickly. I would definitely recommend them to others. I will be contacting them for any potential issues in the future, for sure. Thank you!! Services Water heater installation

Reasonable price Nick is professional, takes pride in delivering great service, and offers very fair prices. I've used him for three large repairs in our building, and working with him is always easy and straight forward. He will also take time to walk you through any explanations without the hard sell. You'll be in good hands with him. Services Water heater installation, Heating system repair

Big Apple recently helped me with some DOB violation and permitting issues. That’s more difficult than the actual work sometimes. They had already did my oil to gas conversion, which they did an amazing job on. They not only got my DOB issue resolved but they did it in such a quick amount of time, I’m still stunned. They made a very stressful situation less stressful. They are beyond knowledgeable, professional and reasonable. Most plumbers would have took advantage. They are honest, do great work and know how to navigate DOB. I highly recommend them.

Great price During one of the coldest NYC winter nights that we had ever seen we smelled the faint whiff of gas near the gas meter room. Armed with soapy dish water in a spray bottle we found small imperceptible bubbles forming along one of the ridges of the joints in the pipes. Called Big Apple plumbing who had us call National Grid to come and shut off the line. Unfortunately I had called National Grid in the afternoon and they showed up at 6pm and shut off the whole house gas line. No heat for the night, no hot showers it was not well thought out. Nick and his team came the next morning installed all new piping from the inlet in the wall to the gas meter and replaced the headers and that guaranteed a safe and perfect repair. When I called National Grid to come out to turn back on the heat they said next thursday. 7 full days of no heat or hot water??? I told them it was an emergency bc of the -5 degree weather over the weekend. And they said they would try and put me on a 24 hour emergency turn on list. I had mentioned this dilemna to Nick and he made a few phone calls and someone showed up at 8pm and turned the gas back on. Godsend.... His prices were super reasonable. and it was the best decision ever to go with Big Apple. I would not hesitate to call them again. The fact that I didn't have to wait 7 days for heat and hot water on this cold dreary night I am super thankful. Also I was afraid of my pipes bursting... he more than earned every penny. He followed thru with exceptional customer service even after he finished his job, making sure national grid came out to turn the gas back on. Thank you!

Highly recommend! Big Apple was a lifesaver. They helped us clear multiple boiler violations quickly and professionally, explaining everything along the way so we knew exactly what needed to be done. The work was thorough, efficient, and passed inspection without any issues. It’s a huge relief to work with a team that’s knowledgeable, responsive, and actually gets results. Would absolutely use them again!!!!

Nick at Big Apple Installations was fantastic to work with. I had two NYC DOB violations, and Nick was able to guide me on how to resolve the issues. He was not the cheapest (something I learned a while ago is that you get what you pay for in construction), and I am very glad I picked him. I needed plumbing work done in the basement. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and the result was impeccable. Communication was fantastic, and this was even though I was in South America while the work was being done. I highly recommend anyone to go with Big Apple Installations for any plumbing work that you need.
