Last 6 months: 7 reviews, 3 negative. ## The honest read N & J Plumbing LLC holds a 4.1-star average from 93 Google ratings and 4.6 stars from 43 HomeAdvisor ratings. Its Connecticut plumbing licence, PLM.0289267-P1, held by N&J PLUMBING, is active on the state registry. Its website lists emergency plumbing repair, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, water heater repair and replacement, and well pumps. A 2026 customer said N&J came out after a water heater gave way overnight and helped move things to get the new tank in. A 2026 customer said "the two fellas" installed a gas water heater with power vent in less than two hours. A 2025 customer said Nick and his crew removed and installed a 50 gallon Rheem hybrid in just under two hours, bought through Home Depot. A 2025 customer said a 40 gallon natural gas water heater went in through Lowe's for just over $1900 after permit and drip pan, and called that very reasonable. A 2025 reviewer wrote that a busted oil water heater flooded the basement, and Nick was about $2000 cheaper than the competition and finished the job the same day. A 2026 customer said a Home Depot install climbed to $2012 with a $160 pan and a $60 permit, and called those add-ons gouging. A 2026 customer whose water heater failed over the Fourth of July weekend said service was offered only with an emergency fee, and called the owner arrogant and condescending. A 2025 customer said a sump pump replacement booked through Home Depot was put off for a week before the company stopped responding. A 2025 customer said Nick replaced a water heater without warning that the old pipes were in poor condition, and that a promised follow-up visit for a leak never happened. A 2023 customer said a technician's solder splatter ruined sheetrock and personal items and that the permit fee was overcharged by 30%. A 2022 HomeAdvisor reviewer said a shower and a vanity were left unfinished, with one vanity door broken. **Strengths:** - Water heater swaps — a 2025 customer described a 50-gallon hybrid in under two hours - Same-day replacement — a 2025 reviewer said the job was finished the same day - Active plumbing licence — active on the Connecticut state registry **Concerns:** - Add-on charges — a 2026 customer called the pan and permit fees gouging - Holiday emergency call — a 2026 customer described a rude exchange over the fee - Follow-up visits — a 2025 customer said a promised leak visit never happened ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.1-star average from 93 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=N%26J%20Plumbing%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJhWPr4OCx54kRuemHSxPFGV4) — “Google: 4.1★ from 93 ratings” - 4.6-star average from 43 HomeAdvisor ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.njplumbingllc.156619917.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.6★ from 43 ratings” - Connecticut plumbing licence PLM.0289267-P1, held by N&J PLUMBING, is active on the state registry _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT plumber license PLM.0289267-P1 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: N&J PLUMBING” - Its website lists emergency plumbing repair, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, water heater service and well pumps _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.njplumbingllc.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Residential Services Emergency Plumbing Repair Plumbing Repairs & Installs Kitchen Plumbing and Remodeling …” - A 2025 customer said a 50 gallon Rheem hybrid water heater was removed and installed in just under two hours _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xKcGQxOU5iRVZqVUdZNWFtOTJOVWhCY2pJM1RsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x5e19c5134b87e9b9!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlJpd19NbEVjUGY5am92NUhBcjI3TlE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Nick and his crew live and breath water heaters.
