Great. They arrived on time, placed drop cloths to keep the excavated dirt off everything else in the basement and bathroom, fixed the sink, replaced the pipe and snaked the sewer line when they found it was clogged with roots. They backfilled the trench, cleaned up and left everything as neat as possible after such a job. They were polite, knowledgeable and quiet- a pleasure to have in the house.

Mako was very responsive to the call and were able to quickly locate the cause of the leak. The previous owner of the home concealed the main sewer trap under flooring. Mako had to literally dig to find it and did so with minimal collateral damage. Was truly impressive. On top of everything, they took time to inform us about other preventive measures to ensure other problems don't arise. Finally, the price was more than fair considering the work done and their quick response.

Work has always been done properly and workers are polite and professional. They are not the cheapest, but they do try to do the least amount of work that will solve the problem. The last time I tried to use another service provider to save a little money, I ended up calling Mako anyway to fix a bigger problem created due to their lack of expertise. I won't make that mistake again. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a plumber.

Great. Pulled the fridge to clean underneath and the copper line started to leak. This was on a Sunday morning. Called Mako and spoke to Mike who said that he was unable to get a plumber onsite but would be able to fit me in first thing Monday morning. That was fine with me. Jay came and resolved the problem quickly and I was off to work 40 minutes later. Couldn't be happier with the responsiveness.

I must say that dealing with Mako was a pleasant experience. They came the same day I called and were very accommodating. In addition the Plummer said the pump was fine and he could have easily said it was bad.

"Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are happy to hear you were pleased with Jay and his work. In regards to the grade C in price, we do everything in our power to keep our prices as low as reasonably possible, but the fact is it is expensive to run a quality licensed and insured business here on Long Island. We are glad we were able to help."

I cannot express how satisfied I was with the Mako team. Right before Christmas and with a young baby, we were in a serious bind. I had called a couple of other plumbers, and they couldn't be bothered at 6PM on a Friday night. Rich Mako canceled personal plans on a Friday night and came over to assess the damage. He swiftly commissioned a team of his incredible plumbers to work around the clock all weekend to restore heat. The job was much more complex than a boiler replacement, as they had to jack hammer the basement floor and locate / repair the return line. Working in parallel to this, they replaced an old hot water heater, something that I desperately needed. Nearly a week of `14 hour days got the heat back on right in time for Christmas, a personal goal of Rich's as he knew how important it was to my family. He was responsive, texting me and calling me with frequent updates. The quality of the job was top notch. They were clean, professional, and really respectful of our situation. They even came back a couple of times to make small tweaks / educate me on my new system without charging because they cared so much about the success of the project. Tyrone specifically was a great help and someone I really trusted as an expert plumber on the job. I highly recommend Mako Plumbing and will use them moving forward on all jobs, big and small. Thanks!!

Job well done. Incorrect estimate. Double cost at the end. Not right.
Response from MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC
"Thank you for the complement of a job well done, that is why we have 500 plus A Ratings on Angies list. We strive for customer satisfaction and are happy to hear how well your situation was resolved and are pleased to hear that our technician was able to resolve your situation in a professional / knowledgeable manner. As you witnessed, Mako technicians are extremely thorough and efficient in their work at hand. In regards to your remarks referencing the incorrect estimate, unfortunately we may have jumped the gun and prematurely given a price when we arrived at your house in February. We accessed the situation and found an outside hose bib directly above the areas where the leak had appeared in the basement. We took for granted that this was another frozen pipe, and priced it accordingly. Only after opening the sheet rock did we realize, fortunately the outside hose bib had not frozen as we thought, instead the leak was on a rotted galvanized drain line. We had priced a problem that did not exist. At that time we repriced the job for an additional $100 which we discussed with you. In the future we will not price jobs without visually inspecting them nor will we price over the phone. In the end we are glad we could keep the total cost under a few hundred dollars included opening the wall, removing and replacing the rotted galvanized drain lines."

Estimated was done. The representative of the Maco plumbing offer me service for over $ 800. He also propose me to arrange shutting off water on all the line. The similar service I had some months before and some days after for around $400 (included an estimation) and without shutting of the water. At last Maco charge me $125 for estimation.
Response from MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC
"This is the 3rd time you put this review on. Unfortunately, this is exactly why we have to charge $125 for service calls. You called us to an apartment building. When we arrived we spent hours waiting for you to attempt to gain access to the super/building owner/basement/adjacent apartments. You explained that it was a leak on a copper pipe in an adjacent apartment; you were not able to gain access to and/or shut the water to the building off to facilitate a repair. Without being able to see the leak or shut the water it was not possible for us (or anyone for that matter) to make repairs. We explained that we would still waive the $125 service fee on a return trip, when the building super would be available to shut water. As you have learned the repair cannot be done in one shot without draining the water and soldering the pipe with a torch. In your review you mentioned that you had this repair made months before and again for a second time for $400 each time. Our recommendation was that you do it once for the $800, but that was your decision. If you need us in the future please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you."
