This company has been my go to spot for 25+ years. Work performed is second to none. From residential to high end commercial. Every job completed by this company is backed by the Belli name. They stand by their work. They are honest and fair. What more can a consumer ask for?

Paul and the whole team were fabulous, running new gas lines throughout our 4-unit building. They were fast, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. They were patient with difficult neighbors, worked to problem-solve the inherent challenges of running new pipes in an old building, and ensured all inspections went smoothly. Start to finish, Franco Belli Co. partnered with us to get the job done: on budget, on time, and done right. Highly recommend this company!

Easy to schedule, they were able to come the next day, they arrived on time and did a great job. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again.

Excellent job, very professional, will definitely work with them again. My heat was not working in the middle of winter and Franco Belli Plumbing came to the rescue. They were extremely helpful over the phone when I initially called. Working with me over the phone to fully diagnose the problem was a pleasant experience, and they sent over someone right away. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking for great work at an affordable price.

Our 13 unit coop in lower Manhattan is very pleased to have found Franco Belli to perform a city-required inspection of our gas heating pipes. Their personnel are prompt to answer the phone and respond by email. They are cordial and knowledgeable and answer questions thoroughly. Their prices compared favorably to other firms we approached. They came on time, completed the work efficiently, and billed exactly as they promised. We would hire them again for other plumbing work.

I highly recommend using Franco Belli Plumbing and Heating. They were responsive to us, even tho I called on the weekend and explained the extra cost for a weekend visit right upfront. We had them come on a weekday and got excellent service. Our system is operating very well: quietly and efficiently. I live in a coop building that has to use Licensed plumbers and after this experience we plan to consider them our go to plumbers.

I found Franco Belli to be an amazing company for my boiler install--something thats hard to find in NYC. Manny and Chris did a nice job putting in a new Navien for me to replace a very old boiler that kept breaking down. Manny was always available to answer my questions and help plan logistics. The price was reasonable and the work professional. Very happy to have found them, and am looking forward to working with them in the future.

Let me tell you my story. I own a 3 family home in Brooklyn and I am affected by the new local law 152 requirements for a gas inspection. I vetted about 13 companies before settling on Franco. Why because they were on the lower end of the price spectrum. So naturally I didn’t expect to be dealing with professionals…..boy was I wrong. The team was super responsive and professional through out the entire process and made everything from payment to processing a breeze. The experience was so good me and my neighbors all sign up with Franco and got the inspection done. Anyone who would call me about the process I recommended Franco. #trusttheprocess go with Franco.FYI this may sound like an ad. However it is now. I want other people to benefit from my experience

Called Franco Belli to investigate a water leak for me. They set the bar very high for contractors in Brooklyn. Theyre responsive, organized, communicate extremely well and obviously know their craft. I highly recommend these folks; dont waste your time with other plumbers. Theres a reason Franco Belli has a great reputation and has been doing this a while. I also personally know them from other commercial projects they have completed, so they are flat out great at what they do! Thanks guys.

Every experience with Franco Belli has been positive! They are responsive, efficient, clean, friendly and helpful. Dealing with a 100 year old brownstone is a challenge and having reliable and honest plumbing service has been extremely helpful. Recommending them wholeheartedly!

Franco Belli is the epitome of professionalism and honesty. I needed a new toilet to be installed and I was overzealous and purchased my own toilet. Under my recommendation they tried to install the toilet but told me that it was not practical, showing me that it would not last a while and there were way better options on the market. Fast forward to the next day, and the plumber, Chris, installed it for me and told me every step involved with the process of installation. The level of professionalism and guidance that Chris and Manny gave me definetly made me more confident in my choice of plumbers. I would hightly recommend this company to my friends and family!

I was having company over my house on Saturday and the drain in my kitchen sink was clogged. I called Franco Belli early on Saturday and they came right away and were able to get my drain cleared that same morning. This was great emergency service that really saved the day. The price was reasonable as well and the worker (Manny I think his name was?) was very polite and helpful. Im glad I know which company I can call for any future problems.

Franco Belli & Sons Plumbing and Heating recently replaced my oil-fired boiler with a gas fired boiler. I dealt with Paul Belli. He gave me an itemized written quote for the job. He also arranged for the rebate on the boiler from the gas company which saved me a thousand dollars. The crew was courteous and efficient, and the manager returned to check the system and explain basic maintenance. The job also included a new digital thermostat. Im happy with the system and the work. These guys are Brooklyn classics, and the real deal.

Belli plumbingGreat service. Had two servicemen at home for clogged drains in shower and kitchen, and assessing leak in refrigerator. Kitchen required new pipe which head plumber replaced on spot by custom cutting to fit space under sink. Found them skillful and professional. Also worked swiftly and got job done. All works well now. Would definitely recommend.

I have had drain issues for a long time. Burned through various plumbers over the years and still slow drains. The crew at Franco Belli arrived on time and analyzed the issue carefully. They had no issue working in the crawl space and replaced the drain lines. Highly professional and got the job done. Great business.

When I got home from work I was surprised to find my basement flooded. My usual handyman was away on vacation so I needed to find someone else. After looking online for a Brooklyn plumber I called Franco Belli and was very happy to speak with one of their reps. They ensured me that they could handle this issue and told me to relax. They were there in about 90 minutes and fixed the issue and even helped me move around some of the furniture downstairs so I can get my life back in order. Thank you to the guys at Franco Belli for saving me a lot of headaches.

We had an issue where the radiator in our apartment wasnt working. Had several plumbers from different companies come take a look to see what was causing the issue but no one could figure it out. Then we called Manny, who was able to take a look and quickly identify and fix the issue. Will definitely be calling Manny again the next time we have any plumbing issues (though hopefully wont need to any time soon).

Review 19 (2020-12-04 - Rating: 5)
Manny had his team, Chris and Brian, come out to help us solve a very difficult leak. They were both very thorough and thoughtful in helping us find the problem and treated the problem as their own home. Manny was very helpful over the phone and quickly brainstormed ideas on where the problem could be and could quickly discern an issue by giving him a quick synopsis over the phone. Eric, their CFO, is responsive and polite at addressing billing questions. Very fair and credible company.

Chris and Yahya from Franco Belli plumbing did a fantastic job with the repairs. We had a major job of replacing all existing gas pipes in our house as well as finding and fixing an unrelated water leak. Paul was very communicative and timely in his responses and the plumbers did excellent work. Thank you, Franco Belli!

Review 21 (2020-09-03 - Rating: 5)
Franco Bellis team was awesome. Yesterday our pipe was leaking very badly under the sink and I sent them a video via cellphone, then they came by today and fixed it for a great price, cheaper than many others. I really appreciate the speedy response and easy communication!! Thank you!

Cant say enough great things about this team. Called them on a Friday in December around noon saying my toilet was leaking; they had someone at my apartment within the hour. Told me the cost up front ($195/hour + materials + tax). The guy showed up (masked - I didnt have to ask) - had the job done in an hour (and it wasnt as easy as it looked as the toilet was 30 years old and HEAVY) -- and left the room clean and repaired. Got the bill via e-mail and were done. Again, so happy to have competent, responsive, and reasonable plumbers in the neighborhood!

We have been a commercial customer of Franco Belli Plumbing for over 25 years and they have never let us down! Be it routine maintenance, or emergency service they have always taken excellent care of us. Professional, Courteous, A+++ service.

This company saved my birthday weekend. My boiler decided kept going off during one of the coldest weeks recorded in New York. My uncle recommended Franco Belli and gave me their number. I called them on a Saturday and they sent a guy WITHIN 2 HOURS. The guys name was Emil and he was very friendly and was able to fix the problem right away. He gave me a nice explanation on the problem (had to do with the thermo-sensor) and told me what I could do next time to fix it myself. The honesty was definitely appreciated and earned my trust and business from that point on. Thank you!!

Rico and Chris from Franco Belli Plumbing are the absolute best!!!!!!!! Not only did they go above and beyond in regards to the services, they are the most efficient plumbers I have ever seen. So hardworking, kind and overall did a great job! I cannot thank them enough. Ask for them by name!!!

Review 26 (2021-08-12 - Rating: 5)
Fantastic level of service. We had a drainage issue that several other plumbers had failed to properly fix before we called Franco Belli. I will definitely be calling only Franco Belli going forward.

Review 27 (2023-09-22 - Rating: 5)
Great service, they recently fixed a plumbing disaster on our main sink. They were there next day, first thing, and finished before lunch. It doesn’t get much better than that.Would definitely recommend!

Manny is a godsend for us folks with old brownstones. His expertise is on point!

I had a great experience with Paul walking me through the different rules and options around hot water heaters installations and steam boiler systems vs. mini-splits. I will likely use him for future projects.

Their service was great. A complicated kitchen plumbing problem was expertly accomplished. Plumbers were prompt and the time estimate was accurate. Office staff also very helpful.

I live in Brooklyn and have used Franco Belli Plumbing to fix plumbing in my Co op apartment Franco Belli Plumbing is always responsive and affordable. Thank you Franco Belli Plumbing.

Great service from this company. Manny was very professional and helpful. He helped me first via the phone to see if it was an easy fix. Then schedule to come to fix it. Highly recommend!

Review 33 (2018-10-29 - Rating: 5)
They helped us without even showing up! Called about a disposal problem and they walked me through a very simple fix that they could have easily -- and needlessly -- sent someone over to fix. Thats thoughtful service.

Review 34 (2014-01-08 - Rating: 5)
I cant recommend this company enough... I recently had a problem with my bathroom sink and they came the same day to fix it. The service was professional and quick. Their prices are also lower then others in the area. I would definitely suggest using them.

So happy I found Franco Belli. After receiving exorbitant prices for a new hot water heater installation from several other local companies, I did some searching online and discovered Manny and his team at Franco Belli. They came in and not only did a fantastic job, but found a smart solution to my complicated problem that literally saved me several thousands of dollars in the process. And when we had an emergency boiler failure during the coldest day of the year, Manny and his teams were on site immediately, repairing the issue quickly and professionally. Its also nice to deal a company where you can reach the same person every time — and talk to them honestly, with no BS. I am happy to recommend Manny and his team at Franco Belli to anyone in Brooklyn who needs great (and responsive) plumbing and heating services.

Great to deal with. I rarely give anyone a 5 star rating but these guys were reasonable, honest, knowledgable, and efficient. I recommend them without reservation.

Review 40 (2021-01-11 - Rating: 4)
Chris and Yaya were really nice and professional. They showed me what they were doing so I could learn for myself. That being said, I was told it was $197/hour and thought it would only take an hour, but they were here for 2.5 hours to install five new radiator valves and a kitchen faucet. Pricey for your average person. They did a good job, though.

My boiler was making high CO2 readings so I called this company for the first time as they looked pretty promising from other reviews. Serge came and inspected the situation and assessed that they needed to call an outside chimney company. They came and replaced the lining inside my boiler and burner tubes that were creating the high CO2. Problem solved and everything is back to normal.

I met Paul (owner) and Manny (project manager) from Franco Belli & Sons in November 2013, after 18 months of construction on our home in Queens. Our previous plumber had abandoned the job after continually asking for more money (outside of what we agreed to in our contract). Then a second plumber I hired refused to supersede the original plumber’s work which was substandard and unsafe. We were stuck without gas, without hot water and without a plumber who was willing to pull a permit and complete the job so we could move in.Paul and his entire workforce were incredible! They were competent, professional, and reliable – at all times. Paul personally dealt with the bureaucratic Dept. of Building (Plumbing Division) and facilitated with Con Edison so we could have our gas service restored. Paul’s crew worked tirelessly to correct multiple mistakes of the previous plumbers and to certify that all work done in my house was safe (think: leaky gas pipes). Also, Paul is capable to being reached via email and text message, which was very helpful when I couldn’t answer the phone during the work day. Manny is an excellent problem solver and will not leave until your job is complete!Paul provided us with detailed billing statements, showing the hour-by-hour tasks that his employees completed – there was no question as to overbilling or billing for work that wasn’t performed. I trusted him with keys to my home and to work when I was not present in the house. Franco Belli & Sons Plumbing are not the least expensive plumbers but they are the BEST plumbers you will find in NYC. Safe yourself time, energy, money and headaches by hiring them FIRST! They will be our plumbers for life.Anthony

Manny to the rescue!!! Manny has saved our plumbing and heating system again! A pipe broke in the basement with water leaking everywhere. He was able to squeeze us in and fix the problem in record time right before the holidays. His quick reaction saved us from further damage. We are so lucky to have him as our plumbing and heating expert. When the heating went out last winter, he also made time for us right away and worked diligently for hours to fix the problem and restore the heat, correcting previous shoddy work from a different contractor. If you need your plumbing and heating fixed correctly, look no further than Manny from Franco Belli, he’s your guy!!

Manny showed up after only 2 hours of calling and fixed our dishwasher issue. Paul at the office was polite and professional. Highly recommended.

I had very weak water pressure in my bathroom for years. I have tried multiple master plumbers and none of them were able to find a solution. Manny from Franco Belli, came and fixed the problem in less then 2 hours! Extremely professional and knowledgable team of people. THANK YOU!
