Hello everyone,

I need the roof of my house to be done. Does anyone know of a good roofer?

I also need a plumber.

Please make sure they are not expensive....

Are long islanders inherently cheap when it comes to paying for manual labor?

(Just kidding but if you want a GOOD professional tradesman do you expect him to give his work away?)

How does that old saying go?

"Fast, cheap or good ... pick any two!"

So, you will find someone who offers SLOW service ...

A-1 Sewer & Drain
Plumbing & Heating
61 First Ave.
Bay Shore, NY 11706

We used them recently and were very happy. As the op stated don't cheap out on roofing or plumbing, you may regret it in the end. What kind of plumbing work are you having done? The owners name is John and he was recommended by the guy who installed our wood floors. Very professional, upfront about the costs and work done. They service Nassau and suffolk county.

We can only guess where OP's roof and plumbing are, but in western Nassau I recommend Cornetta Bros in Elmont. Very reasonable but very good.

Stop smacking yourself or you will get a headache!

It happens all the time that people put things on this thread that really belong on the NYC forum.

Anyway, perhaps "inherent cheapness" comes from something else instead of geographical location.
