It could not have gone better! I contacted Mako by email through Angie's list late on a Friday night. Richie called me the next morning and came that same day! Tyrone, the plumber, was very nice and extremely neat. I didn't have the filter on hand and he went to the local plumbing supply store to get it for me. After my plumber retired, I didn't know who to call and went by the reviews on Angie's list. I am so glad that I called Mako. What extremely nice people! I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my neighbors.

plumbing, water heater repair
 + 0 more
Exceptionally well. No one wants such a big job but the water heater lasted 25+ years so that was some comfort. I've had MAKO for plumbing services on several occasions and I would not have considered another vendor for the job. MAKO was ready to come out immediately but I had to go to work so early the next morning, Jay and Tedd came out. Friendly, courteous and very thorough. They explained why the interior of the water heater could not be replaced and explained the additional work involved with removing and reconnecting the unit. First the water heater was tucked away in a part of my sub-basement that was cramped and crowded with discarded things. The unit was 50 gallons and it had to be drained of all of the water. Jay & Tedd knew the house from before and told me to relax, that they would move things out of the way for me. It was a lot of junk but they said they would take care of it. The unit not only had to be disconnected, and drained, but hauled up the sub-basement steps and down my narrow driveway. They came back within the hour with the new unit, reconnecting the unit after having to cut and redirect the heating pipe to accommodate the new unit. The unit was fired up and all was well. It was a huge job and I never doubted or concerned myself with the job. When I was called downstairs I saw a new unit and a mopped up basement floor with all of my junk neatly tucked to the sides for easy access. And lets not forget hot water! They are the first I call. They will remain the first I will call. There was a lot of work involved before they could even get to the unit but both took that in stride. It is very much appreciated. GA
Description of Work: My hot water heater failed, it was leaking from the inner tank and could not be fixed. I needed the unit replaced.

I can't say enough about, Tyrone, the plumber who worked on it. He was very professional, explained to me what needed to be done and tried to make it as convenient as possible for the whole family. He had a super personality that invited you to ask questions and address your concerns. He finished in a timely manner and left the place cleaned and the sink ready to use. I was impressed with his knowledge of plumbing and felt confident about the work he did.

We paid and asked them to leave. If they were going to charge for an estimate I never would have called them. Rip off artists.
Description of Work: A pipe broke. They called that they were coming. They came, looked for 5 minutes and then quoted a sky high price, and then said they wanted a service fee that was never mentioned. $135 dollars for nothing.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are sorry you chose not to use our service. As you can see from our over 500 "A" Grade Reviews, wherein we have completed a job, we are confident that you would have given us a Grade "A" Review. That being said, we would like to take the time to address your 3 complaints: First, as discussed when we made the initial appointment, it is our policy to inform all our customers there is a charge of $125 to send a service truck out to any call including estimates. This fee is always waived once we are given the go ahead to complete any project. Our existing and new customers understand and respect the reasoning of this policy. Most customers understand there is a cost associated with sending a plumber out on a call. Quite honestly we would not have stayed in business for 20 years without charging for our time. In regards to your reference that we quoted a "sky high price", we acknowledge the cost of running a legitimate plumbing business on Long Island is not cheap. Please be aware this works in conjunction with the expenses associated with operating a legitimate and quality based business here on Long Island. In addition to the technician pay package, we believe our plumbers should make a living which allows them to afford to live here on Long Island. We also need to supply vehicles that require insurance, gas, repair, etc. Mako has been blessed to have a great office staff that also deserves to be paid; in addition to office rent, office utility bills, heating, equipment storage and so on. As you may or may not be aware of, any business requires the responsibly of carrying insurance; Workers Compensation, Liability, Disability, Health, etc. With all this necessary overhead, we do the best we can to operate legitimately and find some relief in the fact that even with the expenses required to keep our business running, we currently have over 500 "A" Ratings on Angie's List. While it is your prerogative to choose not to do business with us in the future because of our prices, it is erroneous to refer to us as "Rip off Artists". If you are able to find a licensed plumbing company who will pay a house call for free please put them on Angie's List. If not we are still here to help you if you need it. One last thought, some of our best customers, who questioned our prices initially, are the first ones to agree that you do get what you pay for.

Mako Plumbing and their tech Jay are great! My husband and I had been using another plumbing company for the last two years and have been unhappy with their service, so when we had a sudden cesspool backup due to issues with the cesspool itself, we made it a point to find a new and good plumber to help us with remediation. After spending a few hours doing online research and going through tons of reviews on Angie's List, I came across Mako and their stellar reviews and thought I had finally found one I think we'd like! When I called, however, a very nice woman (named Nancy?) said they don't normally service our town but she would speak to the owner and let them know our situation, and that I had searched and searched on Angie's List hoping to go with them! That being said, I got a call about an hour later and they said that as long as I was willing to wait for an appointment later in the week when they had a tech scheduled to work in a town a little closer to me, then they would make the trip out. As the work we needed wasn't that urgent, I agreed to the appointment. Two days later their tech Jay came, and what a refreshing and pleasant difference from the last plumber we were using! Jay was very friendly, professional, and informative, and was very neat and clean using drop cloths and cleaning up after the work was done. Throughout the appointment, he took the time to explain to me what was wrong with our pipe, what he needed to do to fix it, and what our options were, and was very efficient with the work he performed. When he was done he also took the time to give me some tips and advice on troubleshooting and warning signs in the future, which I appreciated as a new homeowner. They were also reasonably priced, and Jay said they did indeed have a few clients in our town just not many, so if my husband and I were to call for service as repeat clients in the future they would definitely to come out our way again. Thanks Jay! Glad to have found a plumber we are happy to work with. Will definitely call them going forward with any issues as our go-to plumber!

Jay did a great job troubleshooting and fixing the problem. They worked with me on scheduling and Jay went the extra mile so that I wouldn't have to run up and down with my bad knee. The work was clean and very professional. He even brought a floor mat with him to keep the floors clean. Now I know who to go to if I need more work done.

The plummer was clean and professional. But their policy is you have to agree to a $150.00 house call even if they don't do the job, as if they never saw a faucet before. Then they charged $350.00 for 1 hours worth of work. took 10 minutes to remove the bolt, another 20 minutes to install the new one. Wish I could get $350 per hour..

Thanks for the review. We appreciate your reference to our cleanliness and professionalism, (though you did give us a B Rating for Professionalism). That's what we pride ourselves on. As we explain to all our customers, obviously it costs Mako Plumbing time and money to send a plumber with a service truck to your home. The fee we charge is $125. When the work is completed the fee is waived. We never fault a customer for attempting their own plumbing repair (as long as it's not gas). There is nothing wrong with trying to saving a few dollars. Our existing customers are always welcome to call us for some help over the phone. Point being if you can do it yourself, that's great; as we all know calling a plumber is expensive. In our opinion you would have gotten that project resolved within another few hours and a couple of hundred dollars in tools. Nonetheless we were glad to be able to resolve it for you. We are here if you need us, maybe we can help you over the phone first.
