Demar Plumbing Corporation - New York, New York

We had a terrible experience with Demar. We hired them to replace our shower works, which had been dripping badly. One of their workmen reeked of pot. When they were finished they told us they had installed a "top of the line" Delta Monitor brand shower works, but it started dripping 5 months later again and soon was worse than before. Three attempts to contact them met with no reply. So our super hired a different plumber, who told us that Demar had in fact installed a phony knock off brand instead of a true Delta, and to make things worse it had a damaged cartridge in it. We live in an 80+ unit coop building and our super/building management will never use them again, despite having used them for years. Oh well! Honesty pays.

GET A QUOTE FIRST. We used Demar Plumbing to replace a radiator value in my apartment. They came recommended by my super as they do work for other units in our building. I stupidly didn't even shop around for a quote since my super is a great guy. While they were quick to come service and the technician sent was great, the total charge for the replacement (which took no more than 90 minutes) was over $700. 500 for labor and something like 250 for the part. Please learn from my mistake.

Expensive but worth it. We’ve relied on Demar over the years for a range of jobs. Water booster pumps, radiator issues, vent pipe leaks, you name it. We keep going back to Demar because the quality of work is high, they’re reliable and easy to deal with. Special shout out to Fabian who has worked on our most troublesome issues with a phenomenal attitude and top tier problem solving.

Avoid them if you can! I asked them to come view a heating pipe that caused cracks in my ceiling. They came into my apartment and looked at it for 5 minutes and then told me I needed a contractor, not a plumber. I then got a bill for $298 for those 5 minutes!

Our building manager referred us to Demar to handle replacement of our hot water heater. Even though we were in the middle of Pandemic Demar was extremely responsive and got us up and running quickly for a very fair price. The team that came out were efficient did a great job and just generally went above and beyond. We highly recommend!

I'm in property management and have been using Demar for a little over 4 years. I find them to be very responsive at all times of the day, night, weekend and even on Christmas Day.
Plumbers get a bad rap for what they charge for their services, yet I find Demar to be amongst some of the lowest for plumbers in the city and they always do the job right the first time.

Dedicatedly rude and unaccomodating.

Plumbers may be known for asking more than what what be a sensible price for any of their service but this enterprise takes the cake and the plate it's served on.

I only had to replace my shower handles and was told that the charge had to be hourly, even for such a simple task they couldn't have given me an estimate. The smell of fish entered thus my apt.
After carefully examining the faucet, as if they had just found a rare kind of fossil, this man said thawt they'd be back with the new faucet to install it.
I rejoiced as there was a hardware store around the block and that meant that their hourly charge was maybe honest after all. For some jibber jabbered reason they had to go somewhere in queens to get the piece.
The result: 20 minutes "inspection"(faucets are very unique you see, you don't know if one will be harder to install or if it had discovered free will), 1h30/45 roundtrip to Queens, barely 30 minutes installation.

I refused to sign the suprlus he was trying to squeeze in, all laying on a bed of entitled annoyed attitude that whisked in when he showed up, and -luckilly(?)- he also did so poor a job (if I turned one of the handles too loose it would come off) so that the accounting didn't object to my objection.

They claim they have "deals" with buildings but I might be too ignorant to understand how the most basic of jobs has to start at a $400 dollars minimum.

Do yourself a favor: go to your local hardware store and ask them if they know a plumber they recommend.

With these guys, you might as well flush money down the toilet, clog it, call them and tell them they can keep all they can take out.
