At first glance it was just a leak at the toilet but upon further inspection it turned out the lead pipe underneath the toilet was leaking. They were through in their approach to the problem. and it was fixed completely. I had other companies look at the problem and just work on the toilet and not check any other possibilities. I will use them again.
Description of Work: I had a flushometer that was leaking.

Foremost this is my second (and third) time using Mako. I want to identity them as a group of serious, hard working, personable master plumbers. I will never need look for a new group because Mako is professional, informative and direct when it comes communicating what needs to get done and how much it will cost. On that note, I see that Mako has a "B" rating for their price rating: my father had a saying which was something like "buy it right once, or buy it twice." Mako puts the time and effort in to make all of my experiences with them understand why they cost a little more than most: they're pro's, they do exceptional work, and they stand firmly by it. Might you find a cheaper quote? Possibly. But it wont be done to what I'm coining as "the Mako gold standard." 1) For job one, the install of the new thermostatic valve, re-plumb and various fixes: overall this has increased our water pressure throughout the home, as well as having what feels like an infinite supply of hot water. Absolutely amazing. Rick was my plumber for this job and he thoroughly explained the job and even invited me to view the project as it was on going. 2) For job two, the retro fit of two kick-space heaters: amazingly done job and outcome. I would not believe the new heaters hadn't been there the whole time (i.e., they left no signs the heaters were done after construction). Our large split which was inadequately heated, now warms with the rest of the house - which for a large opened space is amazing. The heaters themselves are small and quiet, and we have the ability to control how much heat they output which is a neat pseudo-zoning feature if ever we felt the need to reconfigure them. Ricky was also the lead master plumber on this job and, again, did an amazing job and explained fascinating hydrodynamic concepts and how he would use them to get heat to where we needed it most. Dawn, the fabulous woman behind the phone when you call, has and remains professional and delightful through every call. Mako is an A+ team and I would invite them all over for dinner, they're just awesome professional and people all round. If you need a group of plumbers to rely on to get your job done, and get it done right look no further.
Description of Work: 1) Identified and resolved issues around passive hot-water tank: ran new and appropriately sized cold water supply to tank, installed new thermostatic mixing valve, repaired numerous pin-hole leaks in existing plumbing. 2) Added several thousand additional BTU of heat in a large and inadequately heated second floor split: Mako used really impressive 'kick-space heaters' retrofit into an existing space.

Thank you very much for the rave review of our company. You are "right on" with saying your father said "buy it right or buy it twice". We believe in that. Unfortunately we have only letter grades less than A's in the price and cost arena. We know that quality doesn't cost...It pays for itself. We really appreciate you [pointing that out to the general public. Let me say this, would you feel comfortable paying 1/2 price for a nice car-like BMW/Audi? There must be something wrong with it (car/plumbing/electrical). the only thing we feel that needs addressed is Danny @ Light Works Electric...who were also very professional and timely when it came to providing electricity to the kick space heaters. We have had nothing but good experiences with using them as our sub-contractor. Truly happy that the kickers are working well for you. We have heated many houses especially in the Long Beach area where space is very limited with kickers. In some cases we can heat the whole house with those little units. As stated before, thank you sincerely for the great review. Looking forward to meeting you again maybe socially as well as professionally.

It went well. I was given a 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. window and Jay showed up for the appointment a little past 8 a.m. As with my prior experiences with Mako plumbing, he was knowledgeable, professional, and willingly answered all my questions. There was an additional repair discussed and made that morning for which the add-on price seemed reasonable. Also, the ease with which the appointment was scheduled with the office was again seamless I have used Mako plumbing a number of times and each time I have been happy with the rendered services. I , have in the past both used a national franchise and a plumber also local to Lynbrook. Mako has proven to be, in my opinion, vastly superior to both. I would not hesitate, if needed, to use them again.
Description of Work: The provider replaced to aged, leaking hot and cold water shutoff valves in the basement. A T&P valve was also replaced on the hot water heater

First let me begin by saying that Mako never did any work at my house or business. I see that there are reviews on here from people in the same boat, so I felt I should join the crew. The others reviews are all negative. Mine is not. If I ever need a plumber this is who I would call. I called them on Tuesday and they returned my call the next day. I wanted to have an automatic water feed put on my boiler so that I didn't have to do it manually any more. Normally, they would come to the house to look the job over and charge a fee for that service. But when I spoke to Ricky, he talked me out of getting the water feed, saying that it's really not the best thing for a boiler. Who, in this day and age, talks a person out of spending money. NO-ONE !! This is just good business. Hats off to you guys, take a bow !!!!...and thanks again !! :)

We really appreciate your positive review of our business practices. As you said all our negative reviews are of web surfers calling and not appreciating that it costs money to run a professional, licensed & insured business. However, it costs nothing to give good advice and sometimes pays off better than getting a service fee or huge job. Call us any time you need plumbing/heating advice or service and we will respond.

It went great! The tub installed was 3 inches too big, and it was going to leave the toilet flushed with it, Rob took the time to drill a new hole for the toilet so he can move it over. He also helped me to finish putting together a vanity sink so he would know exactly where to run the water pipes to. I would definitely use them again.

We have been using Mako since we first encountered a few plumbing issues after moving into our new home in May. Jay from Mako has been back to our house a half-dozen times since for minor issues as we grapple with poor water quality in Malverne and other new-homeowner issues. Mako is courteous, prompt, and above-aboard in all our their dealing with us, and we've developed a strong relationship with them, to the extent that we trust Jay in our home when we're not around (he lets himself out and locks up). It isn't just Jay, either -- the company has gone out of its way to assist us with our water issues. We recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: In this particular case, Mako is bringing a couple things up to code -- installing a valve between the house water system and the sprinkler system and adding something to the water heater.

Once again, another negative review from a customer we never did work for. What a shame. Angie's is pretty good with their advanced search engine. It does give the radius of location around our shop. We are located on the Queens/Nassau border. To travel to certain parts of Nassau is sometimes way too far. We would have to start charging fuel costs to travel 40 minutes to your house. We have commercial vehicles that cannot go on highways. Sorry we don't service the area you live in. When you find someone who does, put them on Angie's so others around your area can use them.

Called Mako and requested them to send Jayson who had previously done work at my house. Jay showed up on time as usual, and removed my old toilet, then installed my new toilet which I supplied. He had given me a price back in May for the toilet installation and I also asked him to change the old outdoor water shut off valve with a new more modern one in it's place. As usual Jay was totally competent, professional and made no mess at all. I am very happy with the work as usual. I will be using Mako any time I have a plumbing problem. They do excellent work for a reasonable price.

It went well and that's why I gave a overall rating of a " B " .
Description of Work: Had a leak in my basement ceiling which he quoted me a price to repair of $1000.00, but couldn't be sure if the price would increase or not. He replaced several feet of pipe, but didn't use copper pipe, instead he used some plastic tubing that didn't look so secure to me. He mentioned that it was just as good as copper. I was a little concerned because it's a finished basement with a closed ceiling and I'm afraid that I might have problems in the near future. While he was replacing the pipe he busted a fitting. He said that it had rusted out and showed me the damaged fitting. He had to replace a couple of extra feet of pipe to finish the job, but tacked on another $300.00 to complete the job. I didn't think it was fair to raise the price that much for adding a little more plastic pipe. I could see maybe another $100.00 , but not $300.00, especially that I'm a new customer. Anyway, I did appreciate how clean he worked and even laid down drop clothes so my rug wouldn't get dirty. He also was very professional and a real nice person to talk to, but, i think the price was to expensive. If he would have standby his original price of $1000.00 , I would have given straight A's across the board.

In regards to your review, we would like to reply in order of how you wrote your review. we can never be sure of the exact price of a job when it comes to repiping a house that is over 80 years old. We base our estimates on honesty and experience. We try not to sell a whole house repipe when a repair will make do. There are plenty of times, with old houses where more work would be required because the pipes/fittings are very old and decrepit. when working in Nassau county we often use pex, as it is code compliant. This way it will never rot or rust like copper pipe will. This was explained to you prior to the work. In addition the manufactures claims the product has a 200 year life expectancy. It was unfortunate that the fittings were rusted and easily broke when we were replacing the old pipe. We often say the repair is more up to the pipe then up to Mako Plumbing. We attempt to cut out the rotted pipe until we find a piece of pipe worth attaching to, unfortunately we cannot always make that determination visually. We often have to disassemble the pipes and then determine their condition. As you remember, this was explained to you prior to starting and together we decided going further out and repiping more was to benefit keeping your home leak free. It was a big job and alot of work for our technician. We are sorry that your job escalated but believe you made the correct decision in having us remove the rest of that rotted pipe. We treat all of our customers/homes, old and new, the same was...as if it was our family/home. We are glad the job came out great and you are leak free. We are always a phone call away.

Approximately 4:45 p.m. - 07/14/15 Me- Good afternoon, I am interested in moving my washer and dryer from the kitchen into the backroom. Accordingly, I will need to have the gas and water lines (the lines) moved. The washer and dryer or located on the first floor and the lines run underneath the house and are accessible by a crawl space. Could you please provide an estimate? Thanks, James. Approximately 9:15 a.m. - 07/15/15 MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC - Please feel free to contact us to discuss company procedures and to set up an appointment. We do not give any estimates until we see the work that needs to be done. Thank you. 516-285-9879. Approximately 9:45 a.m. - 07/15/15 Me - Took 16 hours to write that. I think I will go somewhere else. Thanks! Approximately 9:50 a.m. - 07/15/15 MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC - I'm sorry that we do not have customer service in the middle of the night to reply. We are open during normal business hours. We are here if you need us. Thank you. Approximately 9:55 a.m. - 07/15/15 Me - Oh, right, I forgot that 4:45 p.m. was in the middle of the night. Glad we had this conversation though. I will be sure to share your prompt, courteous and definitely non-condescending attitude with other people on this service!
Description of Work: Provider did not do anything. I asked for an estimate, they took almost a day to respond to my request and told me that they do not give out estimates and that I should call them. Then when I told them that I would use someone else due to their response time, they were very rude. I have cut and pasted the conversation below.

To our existing and future Angie's List customers, as as company we do the best we can do. We generally do not answer emails for estimates after hours. As you know we try to answer our phone as best we can but our answering machine message clearly states "we will call back within 24 hours". We have been in business for 17 years now and have thousands of satisfied customers. We have learned that if a customer is unhappy with us prior to ever even speaking to us it is best for us to pass on their project regardless of how much money can be made. With every plumbing job there are many potential problems so to start a relationship with a difficult person is not something we want to pursue. Thank you for posting the conversation we had through email. Hopefully this customer finds someone who will be able to be fast enough and be able to handle his personality.

We are not sure what company you are trying to reach. This is Mako Plumbing. Our phone number is 516-285-9879. We have had this same number for almost 20 years it would be unrealistic to say we have not missed a call in almost 20 years but Dawn answers the phone during working hours. We have an answering machine that picks up when the office is closed or if we are on the phone. The answering machine states we will call you back within 24 hours. Again, we will not say we have returned every call in all these years but we try and at least call everyone back. Even if we just call to say we cannot help you do to your location or scheduling. I can confidently say we have returned every message in the last 3 months. If you call again and we don't answer you can always leave a message and we will return your call within 24 hours. We also had Angie's test our website and it's been working fine.

I was pleasantly surprised when Jayson and his partner arrived on time. They were professional and courteous. They assessed the situation, told us what needed to be done and did it. They cleaned up after themselves and gave us estimates for any further work that would need to be done (especially if we decided to change the upstairs toilet). I appreciated that. I would definitely call them again if needed.

Simply put in a word I will say SUPERB. My initial need was to have Mako resolve a blocked sewage main. Jay had remediated a complex issue with a solution that saved me the need of replacing the main sewage pipe to city system. by the effective use of a camera probe and a debris clearing device which removed foliage and cleared the blockage. Jay's work was efficient, of superior quality and his workmanship. It was at that point that I was so impressed with his work that I enlisted his support for a large scale reconfiguration and re-design of my entire home heating system. Which for my home was a massive undertaking given the age of the home (Built in 1928) His team , with the guidance and experience and skill of Ricky Santoro (Master Plumber) , The oversight of owner operator Rich Jay, ( responsible for re-piping bathroom ) Adonis, Ted Leo working in support of Ricky and Jay combined a team effort to address all my plumbing needs within budget and keeping up with my aggressive schedule for completion of this project. They did so with a professionalism, expertise that was quite impressive. Punctual, Neat and conscientious to our needs. Meticulous, efficient, knowledgeable and curteous. They let me know what steps they were taking at every stage of the renovation. I always know what work was being performed and at the close of every day I had a written summary with all materials cost , projected costs line items etc...No work was done outside of my understanding and I was never at all uneasy with their capabilities. They worked under less than optimal conditions at times and never hesitated to go the extra mile. As I am a highly particular person and very exacting in my expectations and very demanding this team at Mako plumbing represent the highest quality of service and dedication to the art pf plumbing and costumer service. I will HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who is looking for the very best in excellence,performance, and commitment to customer service. Any other choice for me would be settling for second best. Thank you Rich, Ricky, Jay, Leo, Ted and Adonis !!! Well done !! and thank you for all your efforts :-)

Response from MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC
I/we really and truly appreciate your honest review of our work on your house. As you have seen first hand it takes a team effort to execute such a goal. I speak on behalf of the men, when I say it was a pleasure to work for such nice people. It is a challenge to be tasked with meticulous work from someone as particular as you guys, however setting the bar high is how we stay ahead of the curve. It is truly unfortunate that this was another plumbers screw up. A **** shame that you must lay out twice what it should cost to get a job done right once. Not to nail the buys coffin shut but every job we had to lay our hands on was messed up right to the core and had to be done over from scratch to be correct mechanically as well as aesthetically. I'm/we're are sure the house is sound now and going forward. Again, thank you for the stellar review. Ricky Santoro and the whole Mako crew

I called the company in the morning and was surprised to get an appointment only a couple of hours later. Jay showed up and I was immediately impressed with his professional demeanor. I explained what I needed done and also informed him that if all went well, I'd be having him back in a month to install a new toilet which is on order.I had a few questions and he was happy to take the time to answer them. He did a professional job, made no mess at all and i'm very happy with the work. And all for what I felt was a good price. I look forward to calling Mako next month when my new toilet is delivered and will ask to have Jay respond. He was a pleasure to deal with. This was another great find on Angie's List.

Mako plumber arrived within the expected timeframe and replaced the 3 bathtub handles and their associated parts. Once he was done, he showed me the parts he replaced and confirmed that the bathtub faucet drip has finally stopped. There has been no dripping for 2 months so I can safely say that the issue is indeed resolved. I highly recommend Mako for your plumbing repairs.
Description of Work: Fixed bathtub faucet that was dripping.
