Jim Coyle and Tom Ruperto founded this company in 1985 after completing their apprenticeships together. Initially, operations took place from their homes, but by 1994, they needed to move to a central facility in South Plainfield due to the demand for more warehouse space and the number of service vehicles. While Jim and Tom don't typically take service calls anymore, they frequently find themselves in customers' homes, either delivering parts to technicians or evaluating finished bathroom remodels. RupCoe started with plumbing and hot water or steam boilers, branching into HVAC in the 1990s. Choosing South Plainfield made sense due to its close access to Rt. 287, a major link between Middlesex and Somerset counties. We are committed to doing the job right on the first attempt, and if we do not succeed, we will return swiftly to correct the repairs at no additional cost. Our services include complete bathroom and kitchen remodeling, and we also provide painting services!

From 1977 to 1981, Jim Coyle underwent his plumbing apprenticeship. Afterward, he worked at FMC Corporation in Carteret, NJ, where he gained experience in industrial pipefitting and insulation. He transitioned from FMC in September 1986 to commit fully to RupCoe Plumbing & Heating with Tom Ruperto. In 1990, Jim encountered Lisamarie Hohmann, whom he married in 1991. They have a son and three daughters together. He participates in Sayrewoods Bible Church and enjoys activities like saltwater fishing, clamming, full-court basketball, and karaoke. He also likes doing yard work and household chores. He also participates in charitable activities for those in need via the church. He loves taking friends and coworkers on fishing excursions in his Parker 21' Sport Cabin, which he has named ""Fishers of Men.""

RupCoe put in a new sump pump in our crawl space basement. Tom and Rick came out and reviewed the problem , they both agreed that a new pump was needed . They did a good job and were very easy to communicate with. I would recommend their services.

Just had a call from Tom at Rupcoe. Tom came and did an initial inspection and found that I did not have a major main line issue but a house trap issue which was much cheaper. He could have sold me on the main line but was very honest. Did not try to Up sell me anything. Did a great job! Thank you Tom. Recommend him to anyone.

Just find another plumber, predatory ""house call"" fees. I had the pipe between my bathtub waste tee and the trap rust through on me and it needed to be replaced. This pipe was about 10 inches in length, was in an easy to get to spot with plenty of space to work. Rupcoe came, looked at it for about 5 minutes and charged me $60 to tell me I needed to replace everything from the bathtub down, and wanted to charge me $1300 + Tax to do it. I knew this didn't sound right, so I declined the work.

I went to GPS in Edison and explained what my situation was, showing him the trap I took off and he explained exactly what I needed and exactly how to do it. I fixed the problem with a $10 part, a single peice of tube. Rupcoe wanted to charge me about $1400 to do work that a simple $10 part was able to replace. I was considering rupcoe to replace our central air system when we had the cash to do it(already have the estimate), but this experience is inexcusable. I'll be using someone else from now on.

Our water heater mixture was broken, I call RupCoe because they had some good review in other sites. Unfortunately for us the mixture cartridge was discontinued. The plumber said that he called the manufacturer and they said it is not available, so nothing can be done about the shower. I then called the manufacturer to get the diagram, asked him if he can do anything with it. He said nothing can be done expect to replace the whole Standup shower stall as a unit, which was $3,000. I asked him 10 times if there any intermediate solutions and he said no.. I found another company who replaced it because they could find a generic brand and replace it!

their check up fees is WASTE OF MONEY!!!

The driver is very aggressive at driving and dangerous. Getting you business around town is a big part of your business and should be done safely. Your driver ran my wife, kids and dogs off the road. My son has brittle bones and it could have gone a lot worse.

Very poor servicing of one year service contract. Very difficult to get an appointment for them to service this contract. They will make an appointment and fail to fulfill. Not a customer friendly office staff for sure. Can be somewhat arrogant and insulting. Have been a customer since 2012 and find ourselves very, very disappointed with current situation to say the least.

On the first cold night of the year, my furnace would not start. I called several companies and only RupCoe said they could make it out. Their serviceman was polite and careful to keep our recently renovated room clean.
The transformer that was needed was not in stock but they returned early the next day and installed with no issues.

Rupcoe tech will sit down with you and discuss your options and charge you $79 for just doing that.
