Price quoted by Martin Masters was $645. I asked why it was so much and told him I had read on Angie's List that installing a new toilet should cost roughly $125 to $200. He told me the company had set prices that were based on the estimated time it would take, I thanked him and said no way were we paying that much. No hard sell and no charge for the estimate. I called Haertsch and Co., which is who I normally use, and he replaced it for 1/3 of the price quoted by Martin Masters. Do your homework and don't get taken.
Description of Work: My regular plumber was unavailable for a couple days and I wanted to replace a toilet in my powder room with a new one. I called Martin Masters and a technician was sent out same day. Very professional guy, office staff are very nice on the phone. I had the new toilet and just needed it switched out with the old one.

He lives in our neighborhood as well. We like all the people in our neighborhood. I came home from surgery to a finished bathroom and I had to use my walker to get in there so yeah, he was the best. I can't complain about his work at all. He's even stopped by. We already told him we're doing the next two bathrooms; I have two more. He does all the work himself. As a matter of fact, because we were busting ground to put the plumbing in, he brought his own - I couldn't believe he brought it - he brought bagged dirt. He goes, we don't wanna put bugs in here, we're gonna get bagged dirt. I liked him, yeah. It was nice. His work was all permitted as well; it was good. He's already done some work for us; he had done work in the past and we called him a second time. We had plumbing problems at one of the bathrooms upstairs. He had to re-plumb and new fixtures. That was maybe five, six years ago. That's when we met him. Houses are money pits. He even came late at night. He said it's okay, I live next door. He's a couple blocks over. He is a nice guy; that's why I said every time I need a plumber, that's who I'm calling. He's really awesome. He's super.
Description of Work: We just added a bathroom downstairs with a walk-in shower, and we moved our laundry upstairs to the bedroom area. He had to plumb everything and then plumb upstairs for the washer and dryer, and he plumbed a gas line for me too. He did everything.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! My air conditioning was running fine, I called for repair of a small problem that inspector found and needed to repair before closing. They came out and handed me an estimate for $6,800, telling me "we don't just fix systems". I later called another well-known place and they repaired the part that needed fixing and charged me $125.00 plus tax. When I called Martin Masters, mistakingly thinking they'd want to know what their rep said they left me a voicemail telling me that they didn't say I "had to" replace my system...really? I must have gotten that idea from the $6,800 estimate

Response from Martin Masters Plumbing Heating & A/C Inc
Really [member name removed]. We were called to this home because rusty water was leaking out of an AC air handler in the attic and dripping into the secondary drain pan below. This was not an emergency and had been leaking for a very long time. The secondary drain pans job is a backup, so water will never get to the living space below when the air handler rusts out after years of use. When air handlers get very old they begin to leak rusty condensate out all around the base because they are old and they have done their job for 20-30 yrs. Now I guess you could silicone or putty up anything long enough to get through a closing but at the end of the day you still need to replace the old rusted out air handler. We were called by [member name removed]. We made an appt. with her. We did call before we came out to the home. We did arrive on time. We did find the problem. We did produce a NO charge estimate to solve the problem. We did leave the home in the condition we found it. We did NOT charge [member name removed] one penny for our time, to travel, to diagnose or to estimate. We did not do the fast and cheap seal ‘em up, patch ‘em up, glue ‘em up job she was looking for. Why? Because that is not what we do. Never did. Even though the system was still running the air handler could not handle the condensate waste water produced and had rusted out the pan. Not uncommon in air handlers. So a free diagnosis, a free estimate was given to a woman who had no intention of fixing the problem. Just sealing it up long enough to close. Glue it, patch it, seal it for now, is not the kind of work I do. I mean we did not charge her any money, nothing and she goes online and well, you read it for yourself. I hope she sells her home to a nice family because you just can’t have enough nice people around you.

My mudroom is nice and dry. The problem was fixed. We have new plumbing and stop valves for the line leading to the sprinkler system and an updated main shut off valve for the meter line--- it was old and hard to use before. Under the cabinet where the work was done and on the cement foundation that was drilled into to install the new lines are all neat and clean, with no damage whatsoever to the cabinetry. Excellent work Martin Masters.
Description of Work: We had a horrible leak in the mudroom. They located the problem to be the plumbing that connected to the sprinkler system. The plumbing was inconveniently located under a cabinet. They isolated the line that had a problem and capped it to stop the leak. They relocated some feed lines and added emergency stop valve in the laundry room plumbing. A new shut off valve for meter line was also installed. Derek, the technician was also very neat. I highly recommend Martin Masters.

Had a terrible experience with this company, replacing a laundry sink that left us with tons of water damage and ruined, irreplaceable items. Shockingly, they then wanted to charge us to fix the problem they created--and the price was even more ridiculous. The owner of the company was rude and completely out of line. He could have fixed the problem and made it better but instead decided to act inappropriately and blame others to claim it was not his or his unskilled technician's problem. The most unprofessional and terrible provider I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Response from Martin Masters Plumbing Heating & A/C Inc
The leak this customer is speaking of was due to someone else putting a nail into a copper pipe behind the wall. It was in no way related to our work. We opened the wall nearby and were able to show the homeowner the nail coming through the sheet rock into a copper pipe. We even took pictures and sent them to her. We explained that we do not use nails in plumbing and her leak was not related to the properly installed laundry sink. She wanted us to take responsibility for someone else's mistake. We explained that we stand behind our work and if it was related to the sink install it would have been rectified but because it was because someone else put a nail through her wall and into a pipe it had nothing to do with us at all. We did provide a free estimate to repair the hole made by the nail but the customer did not want it done. We guarantee all of our work.

I couldn?t be more thrilled with Masters - they completed a pretty complicated install of a Spacepak AC system in our 1929 home with excellent cooling results and minimal impact to the structure or aesthetics of the home. Martin was fantastic working through the initial planning and through the entire installation process. The work was on-time, on-budget and they left the house spotless after a 5 day installation.

They did give an estimate before performing work, but refused to give a breakdown of parts and labor. Very evasive. The estimate was honored and bill paid at time of sevice. With outside temps being in single digits and me being 300 miles away I had to agree to work being done. Disabled girl living in the condo was freezing with no heat. After finally recieving a copy of work performed 2 weeks later I was able to determine it was about $250-$300 parts and $700 labor for approx 3 hours work. Even at $100 an hour, which is the going rate, they were excessive. I am a profit motvated individual and run my own business, but do it fairly.
Description of Work: emergency service, no heat. They replace furnace blower motor, run cap and capacitor.

They did a very good job. I waited until the last minute but they were still able to schedule me pretty quickly. They came out a couple of times before they did the work so they could look over the old system and make sure the boiler was sized right. The supplier dropped off the boiler and they brought about six guys so everything went off on schedule. When they piped the boiler they did it the old fashioned way, whereas other companies wanted to do copper piping. They were definitely more expensive but I thought they did the job the right way.
Description of Work: Martin Masters replaced our steam boiler. It is a big project because you have to do the boiler and all of the piping.

Their service is excellent and they know what they are doing, but their prices are high. The company is like a big outfit and they have a big team and come quickly. They can usually get somebody to help you in a short duration. They have a membership offer wherein if you become a member then you will get lower price on everything, but they have just continued with that. In general, they are probably high priced than most of the other places.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Martin Masters Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning for several years for all types of plumbing services. Their last visit was about three months ago.

This is the second time I have called Martin Masters - I should have learned my lesson after the first time (a $300 estimate to replace a thermostat). This time, I had what appeared to be a simple valve replacement, and they gave me an estimate for almost $600. When I asked for the breakdown of labor and parts, he could not provide it - "I just charge what the book says". Fortunately for me, I declined the repair and called another plumber in Midland Park who came within the hour and completed the repair for 1/3 the cost.
Description of Work: I had a leak in a "backflow" valve between my boiler and hot water heater.
