About
With years of hands-on experience in commercial, residential, and light industrial plumbing throughout New York City, I take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship with long-lasting solutions rather than quick temporary fixes. My goal is to provide above-average service at fair and affordable pricing while giving every customer a personalized experience tailored to their specific needs and concerns.
I specialize in plumbing repairs, fixture installations, diagnostics, and renovation work, with strong knowledge of NYC plumbing codes and proper installation practices. Every job is approached with attention to detail, professionalism, and a commitment to doing the work correctly the first time — because nobody wants to pay twice for the same problem.
I understand that every customer and every project is different, and I am always willing to accommodate reasonable requests to ensure the best possible outcome. Clear communication, reliability, and quality workmanship are priorities on every job. I’ll always explain the issue honestly and provide realistic solutions, not just whatever is fastest or easiest.
If you are simply looking for the cheapest and fastest option available, I may not be the right fit. Good plumbing is expensive enough the first time — cheap plumbing usually turns into an emergency call at 2AM. I focus on dependable, properly executed work designed to last and help customers avoid recurring issues down the line.

Josh was great to work with! He was professional, responsive, and very thorough in diagnosing the issue with our toilet and flange. He took the time to explain what was going on, walked us through the repair options, and even thought through an alternative solution that could save us from having to hire an additional contractor.
I really appreciated his attention to detail, honesty, and willingness to find the most practical solution rather than simply recommending unnecessary work. He was also very easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and thoughtful plumber. Five stars!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Customers should know that I focus on quality workmanship and long-term solutions rather than rushed temporary fixes. My pricing reflects the time, experience, proper materials, and attention to detail needed to complete the work correctly and safely the first time.
Every project is different, so pricing can vary depending on the difficulty of the repair, accessibility, materials required, code requirements, and the amount of diagnostic work involved. I always try to be upfront and transparent about costs before major work begins, and I will explain available options whenever possible.
I aim to keep pricing fair and affordable while still maintaining a high standard of work. If someone is simply looking for the absolute cheapest and fastest option available, I may not be the best fit. My priority is providing reliable repairs and installations that help customers avoid repeat issues and additional expenses down the line.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process starts with discussing the customer’s concerns in detail and gathering as much information as possible about the issue or project. I may ask questions about when the problem started, whether there have been previous repairs, and if there are any recurring issues or specific goals the customer has in mind.
Once I arrive on site, I perform a thorough inspection and diagnostic process to identify the root cause of the problem rather than just addressing surface symptoms. After evaluating the situation, I explain the issue clearly, discuss possible repair or installation options, and provide realistic recommendations based on the customer’s needs, budget, and long-term goals.
Before major work begins, I go over pricing, expected timelines, materials, and any potential complications so there are no surprises. During the job, I focus on maintaining clean, organized, and professional work areas while keeping communication open throughout the process.
My goal is always to provide reliable, long-lasting work with honest communication and a personalized experience from start to finish.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have two years of trade school education with a primary focus on plumbing, combined with over 6 years of hands-on experience in the field. My experience includes working for a high-end NYC plumbing renovation company specializing in residential, commercial, and light industrial projects throughout New York City.
My background includes plumbing rough-ins, finish work, fixture installation, diagnostics, renovations, and service work across a wide variety of job types and building conditions. I also have extensive service-call experience throughout NYC and New Jersey, which has strengthened my troubleshooting abilities, customer communication skills, and ability to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently in real-world situations.
In addition to field experience, I have strong familiarity with Local plumbing codes
My experience combines technical training, real-world field knowledge, customer service, and hands-on problem solving developed through years of consistent work in demanding environments.
