Michael Donahue Plumbing & Heating

We had a plumber tell us recently that we needed to have a large bathroom job done because of a plumbing defect, and oh by the way, they could do it for us. I was suspicious and contacted Mike to take a look. He fixed the problem easily without the extra work that the first plumber said we needed. There is enough drama in plumbing already, and we were grateful that Mike could cut through the BS and just take care of business.

( five stars !!)I called Michael Donahue when our Boiler blew during a cold spell (18 degrees) our home had no heat( EMERGENCY). He immediately came over and assessed the problem. He worked 13 hour days and had us up and running in no time with a new boiler. Michael is no-nonsense, hardworking and straight forward about everything. He gave us a fair price and got the job done. Michael is old school, that is to say, he works with pride in his work, attention to detail and customer satisfaction. It's a trait that is getting more difficult to come by these days. We will not hesitate to call Michael again for any problem or advice.

At 9 PM on Friday night, 1/31/20, I found our hot water heater leaking badly. A well-known local plumbing company, who had installed the water heater 17 years before, said they could not come until Monday morning at the earliest. I then called Mike Donahue, who we had never used before. He walked me through turning off the main valve to the water heater, as well as the gas. After I sent him photos, he came back within 15 minutes with a quote. He was at the house by 2 PM the next day and by 5 PM, a new water heater was installed, the old one removed and everything left clean. He was professional, personable and very competent. The price was fair and the work was efficiently and quickly done. Mike Donahue is now my new plumber.

So easy to deal with. They came right away and fixed the problem. The price was very reasonable. Can't recommend them enough. Just wonderful, honest and straightforward.

I live in a new construction townhome that has many issues with heat and hot water. My neighbors spent a fortune fixing something boiler related over several visits from a boiler company that Michael figured out for our unit in two visits. His availability was awesome as well. Very easy to work with and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Michael replaced our broken garbage disposal today. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. He even removed the broken machine for us! I will definitely use him in the future.

Mike is professional and experienced. He quickly and efficiently replaced my motorized zone valve which the previous plumber had completely botched. He asked all the right questions and noticed every detail. It's not easy finding a skilled and experienced plumber that knows his stuff. Mike is the guy and I know who to call next time. I won't waste my time with anyone else.

Reliable, friendly, fair, smart. Highly recommended, he's got the #1 slot on Yelp for good reason.

Based on previous yelp reviews I reached out on a Friday afternoon with a small non-emergent job to replace bathtub fixtures that were stripped. Michael responded immediately via yelp and texted me to set up an appointment for Monday morning. He was easy to work with, fair and professional. Would use again in a heartbeat for any size job. Thanks Michael!

Believe all of the 5 star reviews for Michael Donahue Plumbing & Heating! Mike arrived today at my apartment in Brooklyn to repair a leak in my shower valve (i.e., to replace a cartridge in the valve). As many of the reviews emphasize, Mike is an absolute expert and he will get the job done to your utmost satisfaction. Moreover, he is friendly, courteous, and honest. Unlike other plumbers, he will not overcharge you for his work, and yes, it is true that he is not only reasonable and fair with the price that he charges for his work, but he does not go over the estimate that he will quote when you describe the plumbing problem to him via email or text message and send to him a photo of the valve, faucet, pipe, etc. that needs to be repaired. He is hands down one the very best, if not the best, plumber in Brooklyn and perhaps in all of NYC.
