John Hlad Plumbing & Heating

Was referred to Hlad by a trusted source. Setting up the appointment took a couple follow-ups and there was no confirmation call, but they did show up on time so 2 stars for that. Joe came to find the source of a leak in our tenant apartment. A couple days later, a younger guy (son?) came to fix it with an assistant. It was a terrible fix for $1,200 charge. The pipe protruded right where the wall is, so we couldn’t seal the wall properly. They also added two valves in a U-shape —- it was heavy, clunky, crooked and added unnecessary costs seeing that we already have a drain valve outside and a stop-valve at the front of the room. Their pipe ended up freezing and busting at one of the elbow joints (those joints can’t be insulated). When I called to inform them, they couldn’t come until the following week to fix. We were headed out of town and needed it fixed that week so we brought another plumber in to fix and streamline their sloppy work for another $500. When I called to inform Joe, he didn’t seem to care and defended his work. I followed up a couple other times requesting some money back out of principal for the extra $500 fix, but nothing. Disappointing experience to say the least

Years ago my dad dug two holes in the basement to access the sewer line, but I didn't realize that he forgot to place a sewer cap. I filled out a quote form on John Hlad plumbing website and within 30 minutes I received a call to schedule an appointment. This morning, Tom & Joe arrived early, they went down to the basement, checked both sewer holes, installed a new sewer cap with no issues. They were here on time, they were professional and they got the job done. Everything went smoothly, no issues. So if you're searching for a dependable plumber, look no further, contact John Hlad Plumbing, you won't be disappointed.

They were recommended so I called and spoke with John, told him the issue with my sink and he gave me a price range and we set up time and date. He came with another fellow, they got down to it. It involved having to move my sink to get to the pipes due to very small space. Very professional and capable. I HIGHLY recommend and they will be my go-to plumber from now on.

We have been customers for almost 25 years since we bought our house in Park Slope. We cant overstate how satisfied we have been with John and Joe Esposito. They are consummate professionals. Competent, friendly, patient and responsive. I wish all vendors were of this standard. We recommend Hlad Plumbing without hesitation!

If I could give 100 stars, I would. The furnace in our basement died on a Friday morning. Completely condemned. We had no heat in our house a day before the late-January 2022 snowstorm. I called Joe Sr. who came out Friday afternoon and provided me a furnace replacement quote that was lower-cost and could be installed sooner than a large national heating/AC company that services the Brooklyn area. His team came out Monday morning and were 100% professional and courteous throughout the installation. The job was completed by Monday afternoon, Joe Sr. came out to check the installation and tie up some loose ends. Couldn't be more satisfied regarding the responsiveness of the owner and the hardworking crew.

Have used this company a few times in the past. They were always quick, honest, polite, professional and fair. They know what they are doing! Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.

This company has never let me down. They are everything you want in a plumber; prepared, honest, reliable and kind. You can trust them to do their very best every time.
