Plumbers in New York, NY

The ones listed under the licensed heading have an active license record on file in ServHom data. Any provider under the 'Also serving' heading does not, which usually means we hold no current record rather than that they are unlicensed. ServHom does not re-check licenses in real time, so confirm the license with the issuing agency before you book.

There is no single figure. Price moves on whether the visit is an emergency or scheduled, how accessible the pipe or fixture is, the parts going in, and whether a permit and inspection are required. Gas work carries more of all of those than water work. Ask two or three plumbers for an itemized written quote covering the same scope so you are comparing like with like.

For gas work, yes. Most permitted plumbing work in New York City also has to be carried out under a Licensed Master Plumber. Small repairs such as a faucet swap or a slow drain generally do not. If you are unsure, describe the job on the phone and ask directly whether it needs an LMP and a Department of Buildings permit.

Ask whether the quote includes permit and inspection fees, what the warranty covers on parts and labor, and how they handle a water shutoff in a building where the riser is shared. Get the diagnosis and the price in writing before you approve anything. For a co-op or condo, ask whether they can provide a certificate of insurance naming the building.

On merit, not money. The order uses license records, available contact details, location fit, and a money-blind ranking score that weighs rating quality and review volume. A business cannot pay to rank higher, and we do not take a fee for placement.
