Old Boiler and Radiators - A Job Well Done

When we bought our 1902 house in Bergen County, we inherited a running atmospheric, gravity-fed hot water system. With this came old, ornate radiators and a 1950s boiler. After sandblasting and powder coating our radiators, we were having trouble getting everything back together and water tight. We needed some help.
After asking around, I got the same name 2 or 3 times - Ezzy. After speaking with him for 10 minutes, I knew he was the guy to get us running. After several hours over two trips, 3 new valves, two new 90* elbows, and servicing our old boiler, we finally have heat. Whereas some plumbers would likely leave after getting everything running and apparently water tight, Ezzy stuck around each time he tested to ensure no leaks (he found two very slow ones that would have caused damage). So, if you are looking for someone that is honest and knows what the hell he is talking about, give Ezzy a look.
