Recommendations for Plumbers?

Well, yes, honest, competent and fair also -thanks. We have, by the way, found Gateway Plumbing to fit that description for our own home's plumbing and our neighbor's; they've been great.

Our rental projects differ in that we are trying to keep costs as lean as possible (hence, we're hoping to find someone who hasn't the overhead costs required to run a larger, more established company).

Thanks for your insight, guest 7:28. I can assure you we're on the same page, although I don't wish to engage in a discussion about it. And guest 6:11, thanks very much for your comments also.

We were so pleased with Omar at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Here is his contact info, and a link to samples of his work:

646-541-3409.

He repaired the frame of our pre-war apt.'s entry door after it crumbled in one fell swoop on a Friday night. He matched the color and detailing beautifully, was fair in price, responsive and very easy to work with.
It's worth noting, too, Omar was the only one of those we interviewed who was willing to work during the weekend.

do not use Peter Micelli - he installed radiant heat in our floors, I should say he sent over some kids to do the work, installed improperly and then work was left unfinished and done improperly. Should have been done in zones, they installed one piece with couplings.
Most of the work Micelli's team did had to be corrected by Robert from Pipe-Rite Plumbing.

Overhead costs? Would that be paying your employees a decent salary and health insurance?

How about cutting costs on fixtures? You would still want the same quality work and materials behind the walls in the rental properties as in your house.

Buy home depot crap for the stuff that is seen and easily replaced.

I have found Gateway Plumbing to be very competent, fair and reasonable.

Werber Plumbing in bay Ridge

The most honest and competent plumbers I ever used for my co-op.
