Stan Perkoski's Home Services

I use them in 2010 to put in a return duct replacement box . The house I bought didn't have returns in place. I left my wife at the home with a check for $2400. She said the guy ""was down in the basement for about 7 hrs"". Im like doing what!! The ""return plenium"" he fabricated was made out of some sort of insulated cardboard material. Nothing thats going to last years. And certainly nothing worth the price. Onto the price I got a call that the total cost would be $2657. I thought thats high but no big deal. It wasnt until I got home & saw the work that I knew it was a blatent scam. They left the heat turned up to 88 to make it look like the system was working better. After it was all said & done it was determined that I only had 400 cfm & not 1000-1200 that the system needed to run right. Essentially i had ""incorrect system"" installed by previous owner. Being professionals they could have diagnosed this issue & sold me the correct system but they just put crap in & took the money. Other people leave great reviews so I assume they ""chose"" to rip me off.

Lowe's hired Perkoski's Plumbing and Heating to install our new electric water heater and expansion tank in August 2018. This morning in January 2022 (after only 3 years, 5 months of use) at 4 in the morning, the expansion tank sprang a pinhole leak. Turns out, Perkoski installed a boiler expansion tank (only for use with non-potable systems) rather than the water heater expansion tank (for use with potable systems)... even though we had paid for the correct tank when we ordered with Lowe's. It's right on our receipt. Of course, the tank failed because potable systems corrodes non-potable expansion tanks, something a quick google revealed AND that any plumber should know. The tank was filled with orange sediment and the pipe connected it was clogged with sediment. Turns out, installing non-potable components in a potable system is also against code and potentially subject to both civil and criminal penalties.

Since I had used Perkoski plumbing previously and been happy with their work I contacted them on July 14th to see if they could either repair or replace a leaking kitchen faucet. They scheduled a person to come out the following Monday July 19 between 12 and 2. Around 12 that day I received a call saying that there were two appointments ahead of me and that they would get to me between 3 and 5. At 5:30 when no one showed up I called their office and left them a message saying that I needed to go out and no one would be home if they did show up.  On the morning of Tuesday July 20th I received a phone call from them saying that someone would be out today between 10 and 12. Around 10 Nick, who said he was the GM showed up, reviewed my situation and said that they might be able to repair the faucet if they could get the part otherwise they could replace it. He said he would let me know by end of day Wednesday, July 21st to see if he could get the part. It is now Friday July 23 and I have not heard anything from Nick or anyone else at Perkoski Plumbing.
It is very disappointing and discouraging that a company would treat a loyal customer this way.

If I could give 0 stars, I would've. Although my business with this establishment had nothing to do with heating or cooling or whatever else they claim to be. They posted an amazing 31ft trailer on an app for 1550. It said the trailer needed some work. I left the seller, we'll call her R, a message on said app. She then reached back with her phone number. I responded and said I will get back to you around noon. Time got away from me, but I heard my phone message alert and it was an OfferUp message. After opening the message it said the price dropped to 1100. I called immediately! R and I made tentative plans to bring money. R also stated she will sell said trailer for 800. Well that got me on my horse and I was on my way to this business. She called and broke my heart and said another guy got there first. But if something happens, I'll be the first person she would call. 2 hours later R calls again letting me know the trailer was mine. The guy couldn't pick it up until the next day. I immediately used the U-haul App for obvious reasons. After renting the truck, I reached out via text to seller to ask for zip code and another text for hitch size on trailer. Just to make sure all i's were dotted and all t's crossed. I was on my way to Wilmington from south Jersey, about an hour away. I was so excited to finally have something to repurpose. After arriving at this meeting place, I called seller, no answer. I texted, no response. Waited, then realized there was another trailer on the property. I looked at the trailer but wasn't the one I was coming to get. I turned around and seen the trailer from the app being towed to this property. I thought he was bringing it down to me. A man drove up to me with a very curt tone and told me to move that thing out the way. Meaning the brand new GMC I had rented. He gets out of his truck and says ""my wife didn't call you?"" I say ""hello, how are you?"" I talked to her about an hour ago. He says, well it's gone. The guy came back with 1000. Now... I'm not upset that the trailer was sold to the highest bidder, I'm upset that R knew I was travelling a distance and wasted money on a rental for nothing. What is interesting is that the husband asked how much I had to try to sell me another trailer. I told that poor excuse of a business owner "" sir, I would never do business with you."" That explains the piss poor reviews about how they conduct business. I'm so sorry I didn't read the reviews as I do with any business I visit. But I felt inclined because people need to be aware of shady characters. I've been in business as a stylist for about 20 years. It's no way I can let anyone leave my chair disappointed.

A new technician performed our annual heating service yesterday. I was very impressed when I met him - an excellent representative for your firm: competent, skilled, with great interpersonal relations. He gave me confidence our heating system is in good hands.

Thumbs up for honesty and integrity! We had no heat last night and called Stan Perkoski to have someone come out this morning to our home. Minutes later Nick called back and instructed me on exactly what to do to get the system working. Telling me this would save me $$$$, if they had to come out and fix this simple issue. Within two minutes my heating system is running. They are the best and I will always use their company. Thanks Nick!

I had a coupon for free service and their service was good.

However, when I had a leak in my basement wall, I took care of business via telephone while at work. There was miscommunication and I ended up paying for work that didn't fix the leak. I wasn't satisfied with their service.

I just got scammed by this company, they kept giving me different prices while fixing the toilet. Never clearly giving me the total amount. I thought the total amount would be $198.00 which his already high. But the total came to $329.00. At this point you would think they would tell me that getting a new toilet would be best, but they just wanted to get the most money out of us. I would never recommend this company and I will surely never use them again.

Just know that you're into these guys at least $165.00 more than you what you were told before anything begins. The young man caught me at an extremely bad time and I sadly signed off on it before he would even attempt anything. I began with a leak (from which he could not tell me where) and ended up with a leak, $221 less in the checkbook and a $6,100 estimate for repair that didn't cover the tile or drywall that they would need to demolish! I actually laughed out loud when he told me the estimate for the a ""vinyl type"" tub/shower. The plumber then politely informed me that they could provide a source for financing. (For another laugh, I should have asked him what the interest rate was.)
These guys are not a joke, but just extremely misleading and should be ashamed of themselves. For example, I told the man that answered their phones (Nick) that I called them because they purported to be local by the phone number in the local phone book...nope, just a trick to make you think so and good ole Nick did nothing to contradict that thought. He did of course warn me of the $55 dispatch fee...so nice of him. I just wonder how he could have forgotten the $166.00 diognosis fee? Nick also forgot to tell me that if his plumber was unable to identify the source of the leak that the $166 is non-refundable. I'm sure he sleeps well at night, but if you use Stan Perkoski's plumbing for a leak, I BET YOU WON'T!
After the very young, tardy and polite plumber left, I cleaned up the mess that was left behind and I honestly do believe I'll be able to repair the leak myself...wherever it's coming from.

Wow - fast service - called this afternoon they were out here by 3:00- issue was a clogged sink in the upstairs bathroom. We tried everything we could on our own to correct this . Just could not do it ourselves. The guys were very friendly, helpful , professional and they got the job done ! We have used this company for a heating issue in the past and had a good experience after having a terrible experience with another company. They came out twice in the same day to resolve an oil leak for us. I of course decided to call them for this plumbing issue. We had another good experience. We will use them again in the future if we have any future issues. oh and they clean up after themselves . Definatly would recommend them. They are by far the most professional reliable company i have had to my home.
