I called about a leak and water heater install and was told no one would be available same day but they could come out the following morning. The morning turned into sometime between 1-6pm. No one ever showed up. This is unfortunately not the first time someone from Al Marino gave me a window for a technician to arrive and left me hanging, which is why I am writing this review. Others should know this company is not reliable and does not adhere to the time windows provided for service.

Hello [Member Name Removed], we extend our apologies to you for not providing you with the services you expected. We would like for you to contact us so we may make this experience with AL Marino, Inc. the one you deserve. It is unfortunate that we were unable to locate your home on the evening we were scheduled to assess your leak. Our GPS locator did not lead us to your home, We attempted to contact you by cell phone and we were unable to contact you to get directions. We did talk to Lisa that evening about service for the next day. She stated that a tankless water heater needed installed. We were able to give her a budget cost over the phone . It was our impression that a trip to your home was not needed at that time. Contact us and we will make this up to you. Thank You, Jay Marino.

didn't get passed the estimate, was told it would take a week to get it , I called after a week and a half and was told I would have it the next day , i waited another 3or 4 days and called back again i was told I'll have it in the next few days and i waited again and called back , the owner talked with me and assured me I would have my estimate by Tuesday. well I got the estimate and half the work was not included , they wanted me to contact other contractors to do the stuff they didn't put in and expected me to get and pay for all materials. My husband and I made it very clear what out needs were and they kept us down at every turn. owner says all he can do it say I'm sorry you didn't get your estimate, never missed a beat at putting me down because I was complaining . Not one time would he ever lay the blame on him or his staff. If you want a complete estimate that includes all the work go somewhere else ! I've remodeled 3 houses and I've never , ever had a company so poorly organized! Not to mention they wanted to charge me almost $5000 to build a small closet with only one rod , no paint and no drywall finish inside !!!! They wasted 4 weeks of my time !!!!

As per my conversation the week prior with the customer our commitment to all of our customers put us in a position of over extending ourselves and processing her bid. The mistake I made, for which I gave my apologies to the customer was to continue to remain committed to bid the project. I should have been better prepared to advise the customer that we could not continue with our original commitment to bid the project. Again I extend my apologies to the customer.

Thank you for the opportunity to be of service and the review. I will pass this on to the technician who was your service provider. Thank You, Jay Marino
Everything went as planned, with exception of the security door was more complicated but they came back and made it right and was completed to perfection. Received updates from Bill and Rhonda at the office was prompt and punctual, answered all questions and emails and even the President Jay Marino called to make sure I was updated and satisfied. They followed up and also did all work and clean up to more than my satisfaction. I will use them again and also recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a variety of jobs for them November - January - they did it right and stayed until job was completed. We have used them before (2006) and found them just as reliable and professional as before. This time they did plumbing (re plumbed kitchen), repaired and replaced doorknobs, fixed an electrical issue caused by Sears several years ago when microwave was put on wrong circuit), and redid a security door for us.

False advertising. If you company does not service the full county, list the cities/areas that you do on your website.
Description of Work: Their website states that they service Fayette County, WV. I called and asked if they do service that county and the woman on the phone said yes. She then asked where is the property located in Fayette County? Once I told her the location of the home in Fayette County (Sacrbro), WV. She said it was too far and they are not interested in the business. This conversation took place on 07/19/2016.

Hello [Member Name Removed], Sorry for the late response. I did not realize that you had posted a comment on Angie's list. I did respond to the comment you had posted on Facebook to please contact me so we could discuss your concern. I had not heard from you. After my review of the comment that was made at the time you called for service in Fayette county I determined the following. You should have been told that due to the commitment of our resources to current projects we were not accepting additional bids in most of our service areas. I do apologize for any inconvenience and or confusion this may have caused at the time. Thank You, Jay Marino, President

These guys were great and knew what they were doing! We had Joe & Shaun as tech's and both were very knowledgeable. Had to redo a lot of snotty work but always looked for ways to save and felt they gone us honest list of what to do ASAP & what could wait, as we had a lot to update.
Description of Work: Fixed plumbing issues as well as electrical issued in our crawl space. Just purchased house in Jan. of 16. Previous home owner did a lot of work himself (and it showed. ) all plumbing pipes needed sealed & rerouted. Return for HVAC needed holes repaired & drain pipes were leaking sewage under house.
They did a beautiful job and were very nice. My only complaint is that it took months longer than expected. Some things we had to wait for on my end, but there were some weeks that no work was done at all. The company was happy to talk to me and address my concerns though. It was a decent experience overall, and the basement turned out great!

Told us it had a 10 year warranty, but when it failed last week, told us it could be expensive to repair before they looked at it! Said they could come the next day to assess what was wrong for $180. We called Mullen's plumbing the cost was $125. Fixed no big deal! I prefer honest people. This is my daughter's house, her father's plumbing tools were donated to this company "Al Marino" after his death. I feel they were so disgraceful in how money was their first concern not the repair or the fact that this is family. Hence the so called warranty quote.

When the work was completed in the May of 2014 all details of the project were handled with the current (different) owner of the property at that time. When the new owner and her representative called in August 2015 and asked about the details of the warranty, this had to be researched by the company and explained to the new owner. Once the warranty was explained to the new owner the diagnostic fee was explained as is customary. It is important to the majority of our clients that we quote all pricing upfront. This allows the client, as was in this case, to check their options and get the most economical response they can. If members and non members will keep in mind to notify me when they are not 100% satisfied I will personally do what I can to address the issue. Jay Marino President

The office indicated the plumber would contact me between 8:30-9:30am. I didn't receive a call and the plumber didn't show so I called about 10:00am and they office said he was running late and would get to me that afternoon. It was the office that wasn't communicative because once the plumber arrived, he was very professional and friendly. Gave me a good price for the service. Would use them again.

Waited over a week for an estimate. Had to call multiple times to finally get quote. Quote was very detailed but much higher than all other estimates. Initial call was answered by owner who was very nice and professional. Guy that came to look at job was also very nice and professional. If price was lower would have gave them a shot.

We signed an extended coverage with them for the sump work a year before. It covered the cost of the furnace. Both the people they sent over were professional people. They did a good job. They knew how to do what they were doing. They apparently don't keep records because they did not keep a record of our extended warranty. If we had maintained a copy of it, we wouldn't have to pay for the furnace repair. They were recommended to us. They've been present in the valley for a lot of years. They came and did what they said they would do.

We have a two story house on a hill, so the roof is very high, and steep. We had a couple of leaks around the dormers on the front of the house. We had called several roofing companies, who either came and never called us back, or never came to begin with. Al Marino's Company did come, gave an estimate that said they would not guarantee work on just the leaks around the dormers, and recommended replacing the entire roof, or at least the front half of the roof. We weren't happy about that prospect, but we did understand their position, and decided to proceed with replacing the entire roof. The men who came to actually perform the work, were on time, worked hard, and were knowledgeable about the project. They were not prompt about cleaning up as the project progressed. There was a large stack of old removed shingles, in the back yard for more than a week and a half. If the project manager had been checking in, or returning his calls, this could have been avoided. They were subcontracted through Al Marino. The manager of the project, who was rarely on site, was difficult to reach. We left several messages for him, with no response. Finally, frustrated with not being able to reach the project manager, we contacted the owner of the company. After a full day of waiting to hear back, we voiced our frustrations with not being able to reach the project manager, and with a few cleanup issues around the worksite. The owner was responsive, and the issues were immediately rectified. We felt that the cost of the job was excessive, and the project manager was difficult to reach unless called by the owner of the company.

We at AL Marino, Inc. put customer satisfaction and our reputation at the top of our list. There are certain circumstances during a project that do not allow portions of the project to progress to the customers satisfaction. During this project cleanup did fall behind. This was due to the weather and the installers wanting to get the roof on as expediently as possible. A major part of customer satisfaction is good communication with the customer. It is evident we did not communicate satisfactorily with this customer. For that I do apologize. To all of our current and future customers please keep in mind that I am available and will respond to any of your questions or concerns. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank You Jay Marino President
