Gateway Plumbing & Heating
Company Overview
Commercial pipework fixes and services. Thorough warmth system assessments. Specialists in steam heating. Creators and problem solvers for hot water and underfloor heating systems.
Since 1976, Gateway Plumbing and Heating has gained a strong reputation as the preferred plumbing and heating company in New York City and surrounding New Jersey. Still family-owned by brothers David and John Cataneo, homeowners, developers, designers, and others count on us for dependable service, high-quality value, and superior professionalism and skill in our industry.
In my youth, I entered working on plumbing systems at the age of 13. By seventeen, I enrolled in heating courses from what was then the Boiler and Radiation Institute. My practical skills developed in the field as my position in the business evolved more essential to its growth, and I achieved my NYC Master Plumber's License on my first attempt in 1998. With over 30 years of experience in my field, I am the primary designer of all heating products and designs for the company, which I now co-own with my brother. My offerings extend from individual residences to mid-rise real estate in NYC. I hold an exceptional reputation among my colleagues, within my clientele, and in various industry forums. My company has a stellar reputation for knowledge in the field, exceptional workmanship, and client support. GPH is currently under contract for some of the finest renovation projects in NYC and is often asked to continue on the jobs for maintenance.

Recommended Customer Reviews
I've tried several plumbing companies over the years, but I've found that Gateway is the one company that knows how to communicate and follow through with their work. It's true what they say, plumbers charge a lot of money, and these guys are no exception, but you can tell by looking at their work they know what they are doing. Things stay fixed and I can speak to someoneabout scheduling or billing at any point during the day. the office is very helpful with that stuff and very courteous. A+ to Gateway Plumbing and Heating!
Wine O.These guys know steam heat. They came highly recommended from a guy named Dan Holohan who writes books on the subject and after the first consultation, you'll understand why.
Ask for John. He's one of the two partners and knows his stuff like no one else I've spoken to before.
Wilbur Z.When my niece called me in a panic to recommend a good plumbing & heating contractor to do work in her Brownstone in Brooklyn, I said look no further than Gateway Plumbing & Heating. They showed up as scheduled, told her what needed to be done, showed up as scheduled to do the work and really impressed her with their professionalism.
They installed my steam boiler a few years back and didn't just install a boiler they performed a work of art. Drop header steam piping is a lost art. Not so with Gateway. They re-piped the boiler and wow, no more banging pipes. My fuel bills have gone down too. When I showed up at lunch time to see how it was going I was amazed by how neat they work. They tarped the floor in my basement! They skimmed the oils and dirt out of the boiler before leaving and then showed up a week later to re skim it again and just an overall check up, all included in the job.
Look no further when hiring a plumbing & heating contractor. Call Gateway. From top to bottom, you'll get the best, professional job done with no hidden B.S. after the fact.
Sometimes I am forced to have these guys because I am a tenant and do not get to decide whom to hire. The past three times they did an o.k. job, but 2/3 times tried to overcharge. No surprise charges, please! The last one who came (yes, we have a lot of plumbing troubles), when I called him on some imaginary charge, I could actually see that he was trying to make something up to account for the extra charge. When I called to complain, it became clear: the overcharging is not a bug, it's a feature.
I have never written a Yelp review. I had Dave come out to my Brooklyn home to give me an estimate on installing a new heating and AC system. No small job. He promised to get back to me with an estimate. That was March 11. A week later I sent a follow up email requesting to know when I would hear from him. No reply. Two weeks later I called the office and was told by the woman who answered that I would get the estimate within the week. No estimate. Two weeks later I called again and was again promised an estimate within the week. No estimate. A week after that I followed up with an email to Dave. No response. It is now April 22, six weeks later, and I just got a voicemail informing me that they were going to pass on the job. It took them SIX WEEKS to tell me they weren't interested. Just giving you the facts.
We just called them to get an estimate for a small job -- installing a new garbage disposal (we've already bought the disposal) and faucet (ditto). Their quote? $600, plus some $19 ridiculousness. Got to be kidding me. Another plumbing company quoted us $175, which still seems a little high but at least in the ballpark. Not sure what universe these guys are living in.
I had a good experience with Gateway. The guys came out quickly and did a nice job with the plumbing installation I needed. Clean, quick, professional. What more can you ask for?
Our toilet was leaking to a point where we didn't know what it was that was leaking... Through friends, and some research online, we found Gateway Plumbing.
They responded very quickly and had a foreman (John?) on-site within an hour who took a look, made an assessment of the problem and sent a repairman within a few hours.
It was a very positive experience since they responded so fast, were very nice and everything was easy. And they fixed the problem!
I'd recommend them!
Bob H.Fast, totally reasonable. And no BS on the pricing either. I haven't used them for major work, just some emergency stuff (I've had a corroded pipe or three), and they're nice guys who make quick work out of it with no nonsense. Not only that, I know it shouldn't be such a huge deal, but they totally clean up and there's no sign of the mess that was there just hours before.
John and his guys have come to the rescue more times than I can count.
Somehow, plumbing problems always crop up at the worst times (right before the weekend, right before vacation, during vacation).
I have used them for regular service as well as emergency service and these guys are smart, thoughtful and a real pleasure to work with, even during stressful situations. (And they are very forgiving of situational freakouts, to boot!)
I can't recommend them enough!
