Everything went well. Adonis was very knowledgeable. He arrived on time for the estimate and returned on time with the crew to do the work. A family member was on site when the work was done and they said the crew was very careful and worked as clean and quietly as they could. As I had to deal long distance with company it was important that the office contact was very good as well, and she was. The price may have been a bit over what we planned but I am sure they used the appropriate appliances for the demands of the project. We plan on using Mako for all our plumbing needs in the future.

Jay from Mako came to my house on time. He assessed the issue and fixed the problem with my kitchen faucet. As I could not be home for the repair, Jay sent me a picture of the problem that needed repair. Then he sent another picture after the repair was completed. I've been a home owner for almost 25 years and its rare to find a plumber to trust and respect. Jay is that plumber. The Mako office is great too. I don't know of any names in the office, but the communication was clear and concise. Mako does what they say they will do, when they say they will do it. I really can't ask for anything more.

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.

The customer service at MaKo is phenomenal! We had a very old water heater. Many companies did not carry what we were looking for. It was very difficult to find. MaKo was the 4th company that we called. Adonis from MaKo was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, patient, he listened to our needs, and most of all he followed through. He kept in touch with us throughout the entire process. He worked hard at trying to find us the water heater we were looking for, which wasn't easy. We were extremely impressed by Adonis! I would HIGHLY recommend MaKo.

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.

Silly conversation. $125 to provide an estimate. It will be under $1000. Good luck.
Response from MAKO PLUMBING & HEATING INC
"With all due respect, the only thing silly about our conversation was your reaction and comments about paying the $125 service fee. As I mentioned in our conversation, we charge a $125 service fee to come out which we will waive if you accept our estimate. New and existing customers do not have a problem paying the $125.00 and understand and respect our policy. As I tried to explain we do not price over the phone. Pricing over the phone often leads to misunderstanding on price; honestly any company pricing a job unseen cannot be accurate. The truth is that no one can give you the actual price without all the facts and analysis. We at Mako look at each job and give you the exact price for the job before you approve and authorize work to commence. As an Angie's List customer you could see the wonderful reviews from the customers who do use our services and also notice that it says we charge a service fee to come out and rectify the situation. We have been in business for over 15 years and we have 500 plus Grade A reviews, our professionalism honestly and quality is what makes our customers happy and confident in calling us for their plumbing needs. We do everything in our power to keep our expenses as low as possible, but in this economy, it's not practical for us to drive all over Long Island giving free estimates. As it's expensive to own a home with heating, a/c plumbing drains and electric, please keep in mind it's also expensive to run a legitimate service company. In order for Mako or any other qualified and fully licensed plumber to stay in business and provide great customer care and service, there is a great deal of overhead; there is the cost to send out a fully equipped truck with a qualified technician in licensed and insured vehicles, office staff, gas etc. It's certainly true that we are not the cheapest company on Long Island, but we can guarantee that we will be on time, and our professional technicians will resolve the situation at hand and the job will be done right. We hope this has helped you understand our policy. In the event the plumber who originally started the job has still not returned and/or you don't find someone else who will be able to help resolve your plumbing issues, we are still available if you need our help as long as you are comfortable with the $125."

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."
