RB Mechanical has been serving Manhattan for over 40 years. Bobby and his son Rob are the ones who show up to your home – no subcontractors, no surprises.
We understand Little Italy’s older buildings, co-op requirements, and the specific challenges that come with Manhattan gas installations. We’ve worked in buildings just like yours and know how to navigate building management requirements, alteration agreements, and NYC permits.
This is a family business with family values. We’re the plumbers who actually come in under our original estimate, not over it. When you call RB Mechanical, you’re getting professionals who care about your safety and your investment.
First, we assess your current setup and verify your gas line can handle your new appliance. We check electrical requirements, measure clearances, and identify any preliminary work needed before installation day.
If you need new gas lines or modifications, we handle that first. We coordinate with your building management if required, pull necessary permits, and ensure everything meets NYC building codes before your appliance arrives.
On installation day, we safely disconnect your old stove, install the new gas connector (sized specifically for your appliance), and carefully position and connect your new stove. We test every connection for leaks, verify proper operation, and walk you through your new appliance before we leave.
