Your local team
Rensselaer sits directly across the Hudson River from Albany, linked by the Dunn Memorial Bridge and home to one of the Northeast’s busiest Amtrak stations. It’s a small city of roughly 9,200 people built on dense, old riverfront stock — late-1800s and early-1900s wood-frame and brick rowhouses and two-family conversions strung along the Broadway spine, through the former Village of Bath in the north, and around the the Fort Crailo area in the south, where the 1707 “Yankee Doodle House” still stands. About a third of the housing here was built before 1940, and only around 43% is owner-occupied, so a lot of these buildings have been carved into rentals and have systems that haven’t been fully updated in decades. Century-old houses mean century-old plumbing, heating, and waste lines, and that’s exactly the work Empire State Plumbing has done since 2006 from our shop just east in Nassau.
the Fort Crailo area, the former Village of Bath, the Broadway corridor, the Columbia Turnpike (US-9/20) spine, Riverside Avenue, Forbes Avenue near the city boat launch, de Laet's Landing riverfront, and the streets west of Broadway by the Dunn Memorial Bridge.

Good to know
All four — plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain & sewer — one local team across the city, from the Broadway corridor to the Fort Crailo area and the riverfront. One call instead of juggling four contractors.
Yes. Roughly a third of the city’s homes were built before 1940, so corroded galvanized supply lines, lead or galvanized service lines, and old cast-iron drains are common. We repipe in PEX or copper and replace failing drain and sewer lines.
We’re just east on the US-20 corridor in Nassau, so Rensselaer is well within our same-day range, Monday through Friday.
Yes — most of the city heats with National Grid natural gas, so we handle gas furnace and boiler repair and replacement, plus the older steam and hot-water systems still running in the rowhouses near Broadway and Fort Crailo.
Yes — licensed, insured, and family-owned since 2006 (City of Albany Lic. #PLBG21-147), with upfront, flat pricing before any work begins.
