They were great. They showed up when they said they would and went straight to work. We paid what they quoted us, no add-ons, and they were available on short notice.

They said that they would be higher priced, so I was expecting that price. I had tried clearing the drain myself and I was ready for a professional to handle it. They did accomplish the task successfully. They also installed tubing connecting faucet that had recently been replaced. They were also very courteous and came right when they said that the would.
Description of Work: They had to clean the drains for the sink and the tub, by running a snake down.

Joe answered my call and came to my home to assess the work the same day. (Another popular local a/c company told me they could not have someone come to work on the vent until end of August/early September, which was about 6 weeks later. Joe from Margo Plumbing came to look at the vent the same day I called. What a difference!) He was very punctual, professional, and clearly knew his business very well. He presented two options due to the framework of our home, and after some thought, we decided to close the vent off rather than moving it. We were able to schedule an appointment for a few days later. Joe and Mike arrived exactly on time and were very nice to work with. The work took approximately one hour to complete. The work area was as clean after they left as it was when they arrived. Joe had also looked at a couple of areas of condensation in our basement. We ended up not needing any work done at this time, as he explained what might solve the problem. He did not charge us for that review. Overall, I was very pleased with the work done, and Joe is very fair and honest. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again!
Description of Work: I called Margo Plumbing to inquire about moving an a/c vent because we are having a fireplace installed and needed the vent moved from the location where the fireplace was going to be installed. We ultimately decided to have the vent sealed off.

We received our new range and realized that given the BTU's of the range, it needs to be installed by a certified plumber. We called several contractors on Angie's list. MarGo plumbing were the only ones who could come that day. They arrived promptly, installed the valve and the range, and also inspected the heating system. They made helpful recommendations about replacing the water heater and also did a test on our water for hardness. Everything was quick, efficient and clean. Will definitely use them again and would recommend them highly.

I am sorry you did not see the value in using our company since you gave us all A's and low grade only based it on price alone. We gave you different options from correcting the problem to only repairing it again, which we did not recommend. We rather solve the problem, so this never happens again. You had someone repair the same problem three times already since you lived there. Our mission is: To give our customers the best quality and the most pleasant experience dealing with a company at a fair price. We have been delivering this to our customers since the 90's. We have thousands of existing happy customers that know. If they should ever have a problem we are available the same day to resolve any issues they have, seven days a week at no extra cost to them. Are we the average plumber? No. Most homeowners hate to deal with plumbers. We make it as pleasant and painless as possible under the circumstances. We are the most honest company in the industry. On time, clean, quality materials and a lifetime warranty on workmanship. We offer options to every customer we deal with. We do this since we want to be able to offer our services to all customers, not just be exclusive to high end customers. Everyone is entitled to great service. I am very proud to be the owner of this company and my team that help me run it, so our customers have someone to rely on if there is a problem. Sorry that you did not see that.

Hot water from the bathtub was leaking from the faucet. It got worse in the last few weeks, it was more like a stream of water than just drips. I tried fixing it myself but knew I had to call someone for help. Jesse from Margo came to my home quickly and sooner than I expected. He was very informative and explained all of my options. Since we planned to renovate the bathroom in the near future, he was honest and told me that replacing the entire assembly that was over 20 years old old now would have to be done again during renovation. He fixed the seat and replaced the washers on both handles. A replacement stem could not be found since the parts are no longer made. I felt completely comfortable and in good hands with Jesse. Great work!
Description of Work: leaking bathtub faucet. I replaced the washer myself but it did not work. The seat was also cracked. Jesse from Margo explained everything before helping me replace the necessary parts. Completely satisfied and would not hesitate to call them again.

This is a very professional and customer oriented company. Their estimate was not the cheapest we received but their professionalism and thoroughness during the estimate impressed us to hire them. We made the right choice. They showed up right on time as stated and worked all day without stopping. They were clean and kept us updated throughout the day on the process. Joe the owner was very responsive to our questions and even suggested raising our boiler to avoid potential floods in the basement. I would definitely use them again.

Don't use this company! I called to have them check a leaking heater pump. The pump was leaking from the gasket and just the gasket needed to be replaced. I went upstairs to turn the heat thermostat on so we can observe the leaking pump. Their representative told me they would not do the work to just replace the gasket and they would only replace the whole pump for a cost of $850.00. My decision was not to use this firm and their representative left. When I came back downstairs, I noticed the cover to the furnace had been removed. There was no reason to remove the cover to the furnace. We immediately had no heat from that point on. The thermostat would call for heat and the pumps would go on but the furnace would not go on, even though the pilot was on. It would only pump cold water. It is obvious that the representative did something to cause the heat not to work so we would need to call them. I will be reporting this company to the better business bureau.

All my techs are honest. We don't need to break your heat. To make work for ourselves. Your circulator pump was over 26 years old, so there was no way we would only replace the gasket, if you are looking for someone to band aid the work that is not us, sorry. You had two flow controls and two air vents that were leaking. My tech told you he would not work on the boiler in the condition it was is. He gave you an estimate and left. The boiler was still on when he left. If you thought that we broke your heat. You would of called back to complain. He gave you a visual inspection and that is what you got. Sorry that we wouldn't just repair you circulator, it's not the right thing to do.

I went with MarGo because I was tired of plumbers not being responsive and not scheduling an appointment and showing up when they scheduled. I was sick of taking time off of work to then have something else some up and the plumber not be able to show up. Or being given the run around about when the appointment would exactly occur. They were very responsive from the first call, and were waiting outside my house a few minutes before the scheduled estimate appointment.. Jesse was thorough and quick and got me a quote right away. I had to wait for the sink to be ordered, but again, when they scheduled the repair appointment they followed through. He was on time, and the owner (Joe) called the night before to confirm. The work was done without a problem and he was great about answering questions and making sure that I was okay with the progress before he continued with each major step. The work looked great and I've had no problems. The owner also showed up to provide some help, but it's also nice to meet the boss when you are dealing with a new company. All in all, I'll admit that the prices may be a bit higher than some others, but I'm willing to pay for prompt, reliable service, and nice neat work. Plus I didn't have to worry about the cost increasing with the up front cost they give. I've gotten work done for cheaper in the past, but I've wasted more time taking time off work than I probably saved in the cost. I've also dealt with larger companies with the same cost model, but you never know who you will get to do the work. The next time I need work done, they'll be first on my list.
Description of Work: Replaced broken utility sink with larger model. Also replaced all piping from a shutoff valve to sink (~2 ft), sink drain, faucet, and pipes to washer and washer shutoff. Added ball valve under sink drain in case of water backup. Resealed leaking cap on sewer line.

You state that you had two knobs replaced, to me we were not just replacing the handles to the valves that were leaking. My FREE estimate was to schedule the water department to come to your house. Have the water turned off at the street. Replace two ball valve type emergency shut offs before and after the water meter. Have the water department return after our work was done and turn the water back on at the street. The price that we quoted to you is what we charge for this service. We charge everyone the same price, and we have no complaints. I'm sorry that you were not happy with us. I know we are not the cheapest. I do know that in the area we service. We provide the best professional, quality and warranty to our customers. We have thousands of happy customers. Our track record shows this on Angies List too.

My central air unit seemed to sound different and didn't seem to be throwing out the cold air as effectively as it had. I called on a Saturday and an answering service took my information and passed it to Joe, who called back quickly. We set up an appt for first thing Mon. morning. He checked my outdoor unit and the indoor filter, vents etc. He determined that a small top up of freon ($30) was needed, that the filter should be replaced and some of the vents weren't open. He had to take the filter unit with him to get the new one (It wasn't an exact fit because apparently my model is an older one for which the previous type is no longer available) and returned after 5 to replace it, so I didn't need to take time off work. The total price seemed on the high side but Joe was very prompt and professional and I now have an a/c unit which is functioning well. The $25 coupon offered through Angie's List is also offered though the company's website.

Obviously, time is of the essence when a water heater dies, but we also didn't just want to just go with whoever could do the job fastest. We did get several estimates, and although MarGo's was about the highest, we felt good about them and giving them our business. Jesse came to do an estimate on time in the morning. While he could have started work right then and there (no real sales pressure, however), he was quite understanding when we said we needed to think about it more (as I said, the estimate was on the higher side). We thought about the various estimates, and decided to go with MarGo because of Jesse's professionalism and the fact that MarGo gave us the option of the best warranty (parts and service for 10 years for a little extra). I called MarGo back with our decision, and Jesse came back that afternoon to do the replacement. He managed the whole job alone, working quickly and professionally, laying down cloths on a carpet he needed to cross to get equipment in and out of our laundry room, etc. (Even for the estimate, as well as the installation, he used boot covers at all times.) MarGo also dealt with obtaining the necessary permit from our town (we paid the fee), delivering it to us in a week or so. The work easily passed inspection. So overall, I am very pleased we went with MarGo and would definitely contact them again for other plumbing needs.

Response from MarGo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Inc
First, thank you for a great and honest report. Also thank you for using MarGo Plumbing. It's great to show others that being the lowest price, should not be the deciding factor when trying to find the right company to do the work in your home. Plumbing is a craft that with proper training you can get good at, we all know that. It's what happens when something goes wrong. Will the plumber return or will he even answer your call. We don't claim to be the cheapest. We don't pressure or scare people into using us. All of our prices are taken out of our books and the customer sees the price, knowing that everyone pays the same price. The only way we can differentiate MarGo Plumbing from others is great service. If there is a problem we can supply service 24 hours a day seven days a week by a trained technician. Now giving great service doesn't come cheap to us. Each employee spends 80 hours a year in class room training. They also get paid to just be on call, to be able to service customers like you immediately. I'm glad you were able to see past the price. Rest assure if you have any problems in the future we will be there for you. Again thank you.

Margo was very professional from the start. We saw their listing here on Angie's List for heating and plumbing. They had excellent reviews and the experience we had was equally great. Joe Vragolic, the president of the company, personally came to the house to assess our needs. He was professional, punctual and very knowledgable. He handled obtaining the permits for the relocation of the gas lines and was very flexible with the timing of the work that needed to be done. He provided his cell phone number in case the inspector had any questions as well. The inspection went quickly and Joe and his employee Jesse did the work in a few hours. Jesse was also very knowledgable and courteous. He provided explanations of the work that was performed and ensured that we had everything that we needed. If we need anything in the future, we will definitely use Margo again. I strongly recommend using their services.
Description of Work: The gas lines into the house needed to be moved to accommodate a change in the placement of the gas meter. Margo closed off the previous gas line and added a new gas line. We also had them fix an outside water spigot and the corresponding internal shut off.

Joe at MarGo Plumbing was responsive to my bid and after a personal inspection of the job, submitted a detailed and very complete proposal including pointing out other services which I would need and have to arrange with others. The price was in the middle of the estimates I received and because of the specificity of his proposal and professional attitude, I awarded the business to them. The work was completed in a timely and professional manner exactly to specification. The quality of the work was so good that the plumbing inspector from the City made many complimentary comments and asked who I had contracted to do the work. This was a big job that was completed in a quality manner as promised. All clean-up and removal was accomplished. Joe and his team are professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend them to anyone.

The plumber has done a very good job for us with the plumbing. There were two people who came out to get the work done. Our experience with them went very well. We are going to use them again shortly because we want two water heaters for our two-family house and Margo said that he will give us information. If we get two water heaters installed at the same time, then he would give us a break. His prices are a little bit on the upside, but he is worth it. It is really important to me that the person who comes and does the work cleans up as well and they do that. Their responsiveness is really good. At one point, I had a pipe that broke and it was a pipe that was inside the house. What happened was that the pipe wasn?t shut off. So, water spurted out and it was spurting into the front of the yard. It was winter, but I called him and he came over to shut it down for me. His punctuality is better than good. They were really good with the cleaning up and giving us some information that would help us if we ever had to have this done again. Getting the two water heaters done together will save us money and that makes us happy.
Description of Work: We used the services of Margo Plumbing Heating & Cooling Contractors about 4 months ago for a plumbing job. We wanted them to come and remove a toilet from the basement that we didn’t want there anymore.

Call came in on 4/13/11 at 7:30am. We sent out a tech to your house for FREE the same day. We had to diagnose the leak that it was not just a bad seal around the toilet. The toilet had a crack that you did not believe my tech until he showed you that the toilet was not repairable. Then the toilet you requested had to be a special color and a special type of toilet, which we warranty for FIVE years parts, labor and clogs. My tech went to the distributer to locate the toilet for you. He gave you all the information after doing all the work. All you had to do was call someone and tell them how and what you needed. You got everything, all the information, research and diagnosis for FREE from us. We would have done the toilet for $800.00 too, if all we had to do was show up with the toilet and install it.
