stuff happens I get it, but just a heads up to anyone who might be looking to get something done. I scheduled an appointment with them to come in the afternoon which they then rescheduled to later. And then they called after they were supposed to be here and too late for me to get someone else and canceled because they were too busy. I'm disappointed because I've been waiting around all day to get this drain fixed and had they not said they could do it I could have found somebody else to do it. Also the technician called to cancel the appointment and told me he was in a heating and air conditioning job that was going over. But when I asked about heating and air conditioning earlier with Nicola she said they only do those appointments between Monday and Friday. So something's not adding up.

Response from Magic Plumbing
It is quite disheartening to read of your experience. Plumbing by nature is very unpredictable. We strive to make all our appointment windows but inevitably, when things go awry, that can be a challenge. (Especially on weekends when we run a shorter crew.) The key takes away from this situation is communication. When our schedule becomes bogged down it is imperative, we notify our customers so alternative plans can be made, and in this case, we did not meet our standards. There is no excuse for this, and it has already been addressed internally. If given another opportunity I am certain we would meet or exceed expectations as we provide service to hundreds of customers every week and communication is the #1 goal of our customer service team. Regarding the HVAC availability, the dispatcher was correct in that we only provide that service Monday-Friday. The service technician you spoke to is not an HVAC technician, so I must assume there was a miscommunication of sorts. In closing, Magic Plumbing sincerely regrets contributing to an already frustrating situation and vows to ensure our communication exceeds our customer's expectations moving forward.

Joey with magic plumbing was an absolute godsend! When my toilet overflowed during a stressful work day, I panicked. He not only persevered until the issue was resolved, but he was incredibly professional, efficient, knowledgeable and had the most positive attitude. This young man deserves a raise!!!

I needed a long dress lock removed from my new place after a bunch of wooden lived there previously. Mike was amazing. Came out after hours and they charged regular price. I called again to have them look at some existing plunging at another house in regards to a bathroom remodel. I had Mike come out again. They were helpful and went the extra mile when they didn't have to. Very satisfied and very fair. It's easy to ripped off when you aren't a plumber yourself. I trust Magic.

The plumber showed up on time, assessed our job, and despite the ancient plumbing in our 1929 high-rise condo was able to replace the shut-off valves for our bathroom sink without issue, No leaks, no problem for the subsequent contractor to access and use the new angle stops. Thank you, Magic Plumbing and Paul Rowe!

Magic Plumbing has done work for us in the past and they have always been good. This time we needed some shower handles put on the correct way (a general contractor who did our bathrooms installed incorrectly and argued with me that it was the way they were supposed to be installed). He also was able to fix a loose faucet which solved our leak. He was in and out in no time and was very professional. I put "Good" for Price because he estimated based on what had to be done and how long it would take him so I didn't have a lot to go by but as I mentioned, Magic has done other work and has always done a good job.

Magic Plumbing is a wonderful company! Their plumber Adam came out the morning after our call (after we had set up an appointment with Liz, their very efficient office person). Adam provided an accurate estimate, arrived exactly on time on the date we selected later that week for the actual work completion. Adam was accompanied by his assistant Lucky. They quickly, efficiently and carefully completed our list of fairly difficult projects and provided exactly the kitchen and bathroom fixtures we wanted, which we had not been able to find anywhere. And their workmanship was excellent, they left our home tidy and the work came in slightly below Adam's estimate. We will definitely be using Magic for our future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: We had a very serious kitchen sink leak and needed to have specialized faucet replacement parts to replace leaking fixtures that could not be repaired and we wanted elegant good fixtures for our hard to fit antique wall mounted faucet. Same problem in bathroom but more difficult to repair due to tight working quarters and original antique bathroom sink which also needed new trap and other parts beneath sink. In addition, leak in basement water pipe required painstaking repair in cramped area. Also, we needed to have our gas dryer line .de-activated and capped.

I purchased services from magic carpet years ago.I did use them, and I was mostly satisfied. The plumber left more of the pipe extending into the room more than we wanted.He was uncomfortable cutting too close to the wall and he ended up leaving about 8 inches.We felt it should have been done much closer to the well, it was an obstacle. It took a couple of hours to do the job nd did clean up the area they worked in.

The call service at night has a very nice attendant, but he doesn't listen very well and doesn't understand much of what you tell him. Pablo is the best part of the company because he is a dispatcher and very nice and understands most issues although he's not a plumber. There was a reluctance in the plumber to replace all the parts requested and everything became an add on of $100 / part which is amazing for parts that normally cost $5.
Description of Work: I am satisfied. The price paid for the work performed was very high. I was surprised to see the reluctance to want to perform extra work and it was all about the easy portion of the job request. I would say that the price paid for the work performed is 33% higher than any other service I've ever paid for the same work. The work was good and professional and timely, but pricing was inordinately high.

Very Poor. I had 2 toilets that were not functioning properly. I could tell new flushing mechanisms were needed, or to be adjusted. So I purchased the discount package offered by Angie List, approx $200. And scheduled an appointment. Was a bit concerned, because some of the reviews were not that good. But I needed the service, in that I had visitors coming for a stay. Well, the plumbers arrive, and I was quoted $800.00 for fixing the 2 toilets! But that as a special deal, Magic would do the job for a mere $500!! Well, yes I decided to do it. My visitors were due shortly, family with children, and I wanted the fix. Which the plumber was happy to do with three parts and about 30 minutes. New handles that were different, obviously thats what the had in the truck. Upon finishing one, he said well, the "filler tube" in the tank was too long, and the toilet would probably overflow if a malfunction. That if I had a hacksaw, I could cut it down. I said, well, should you do this? He said no, for a new tube, he would have to take the tank off, and he could not hacksaw, or something. So that was it. I was later advised this was just a scam price to pay. Just a rip off by an uncaring company. Probably something to laugh about around the water cooler! I called twice to discuss, but was told the "manager" was lute of the office, and he would call me. Of course, no calls! Angie, I expect an adjustment on this bill. This was nothing more than a scam!! Stop and look at this. Is this how you want Angies List represented? If so, not with my membership, for sure!!

Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm truly sorry to hear you feel as if you were scammed. I assure you, your strong accusations are untrue and unjustified. We are a reputable company. We offer a premium service that admittedly isn't always cheap, however we quote our prices upfront to allow our customers to decide if the service (and price) is right for them. I have reviewed your invoice and stand by the technician's work and subsequent charges. And to be fair, sir, I did return your phone call and left you a voicemail message. You never called back. In any case, it's never our intention to leave a customer dissatisfied. Reading your review certainly doesn't make me feel as if we're doing the best we can possibly do. I was and still am happy to address your concerns personally. Feel free to reach out to me should you deem it appropriate. Thank you for your feedback. -Pablo

We were very happy with the professionalism and the quality of the job by the two technicians (Frank and Devin Morris). They were very thorough and definitely cleared the source of the backup. The City is working on a water and sewer main project on our street and will be back again tomorrow for some additional work on the sewer main. My husband tested our sewer line today and it drained perfectly. We are awaiting an estimate for the cost to replace the lateral so we can budget for when it's needed.
Description of Work: Magic Plumbing hydro jetted our sewer line to clear a clog that in recent weeks was causing our sewer to back up. Following the hydro jetting they used a camera to scan for any unresolved problems. The camera found that our clay sewer lateral had some root intrusion and probably will require repair or replacement down the road. A neighbor 3 doors up just had to replace his sewer lateral for the same reason.
