MarGo Plumbing Heating Cooling

I took off of work due to my blockage issue and called MarGo. I called at 9:30am and they finally arrived at 2:15pm. Both gentlemen walked my home to evaluate, went to their van, came back and recommended another company who specializes on sewer and drain backup.
I was really disappointed MarGo plumbing didn't even attempt to snake the line. I made it clear that I waited all day for them and this is not acceptable.
Hesitant to call the recommended company, Speedy, I did and they told me they are too busy and have plumbers on vacation so they couldn't service me either.
Very disappointed with both companies and do NOT recommend them to anyone. Don't waste time because I did. I won't get that time back!

FYI- I called another plumbing company at 2:45pm, they arrived at 4pm and fixed the issue at 5pm. They snaked the line 80' and all clear. They even cleaned up after themselves! Very reliable, honest and competitive!

This review is based on estimate for HVAC work. I hope you're rich and don't have time to get competitive quotes. These guys are super friendly and knowledgeable but crazy expensive. I am saving over $4,000 on their $10,000 scope of work by going with a competitor.

Complete Rip off $$$$ if you live in Montclair, NJ. Do not use in emergency situation. No pricing transparency at all. Do not breakdown labor cost or products cost. I had pleasant conversation on the phone that led me to believe they would be reasonable with price to replace broken hot water heater. Price I had to pay $4425 for a 50 gallon tank and installation. Had no choice. That did not include $700 for water pan and alarm. Checked price on line it is a $50 item.

Very expensive, considering it took less than an hour to fix my toilet and with inexpensive parts.
After they were done the leak continued and they sent the next day another technician to undo and repair what the first technician did.
Be careful with them, personally I will never use them again

MarGo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a life saver. First the fact that they can address all three is fantastic, because you can deal with one provider who knows your house and your needs. They couldn't be more responsive. We bought a new (old) house and moved in less than a week ago. Record breaking cold has brought to life issues with heating and a resulting pipe freeze. Joe, the owner, came out himself and spent hours looking at and assessing the problems. His approach was to prioritize the issues, explain why, and focused on comfort with minimal disruption (cutting of walls, ceilings, etc.). We are awaiting our estimate now for the first several areas. The very next day, we had a frozen pipe. Joe came out again, thawed it out, showed us where the water main was, and also had suggestions for prevention as a follow up. Unfortunately, I think I may need to have them on speed dial for a while given this old house, but am glad they are there an willing to help! Highly recommend them!!

I, reluctantly, write this review. In fact, it's taken me a year since the event to write it. The air conditioner at my son's rental property was not working and I went out to meet the Mar Go repairman who diagnosed the problem as a faulty capacitor. The diagnosis costs $99 and the cost to replace the capacitor was $450 for a total of $549. They require you to sign approval of that amount before any work is begun.
Two weeks later, I had the identical problem with my own central air conditioner and my air conditioner repairman charged $140 to replace the capacitor.
I called Mar Go to see if they would make some amount of price adjustment and they, adamantly, refused. Not even an amount as small as $30.
As they say, let the buyer beware.

This is a very bad experience.

They do inspection for $105 and give a quote of $12000 for replacing a whole heater.

I found another contractor and fixed the heater for just $730.

I still pay $105 for them to cheat me.

I called them because of the review here but
I will never go back again!

Had a clogged kitchen sink. Figured since the reviews where so great I would give them a try. They are upfront about the $50 charge for an estimate that will be deducted if the customer chooses to use their service. However, I was first given a price of $550.00 to clear the blockage. When I acted very surprised, the tech said he could call the office to see if he can reduce to $350. Then the story changed. They don't charge by hour but by job...he will attempt to use a 25' snake to dislodge the clog for $350. If it doesn't work and he has to use a 50' snake then the charge will be $550. Needless to say he did not get the job and i wasted $50 on the estimate. Total scam.

MarGo Plumbing is the best in town! Very quick to return your call and so easy to schedule an appointment. We always ask for Jesse - he is top notch in every way!

I chose MarGo based on Yelp reviews, so I feel obligated to offer this word of warning, which is specifically about MarGo's pricing. Their professionalism, courteousness and the quality of their work was all good. But, I was charged $500 to replace a washing machine valve that took 20 minutes. In case you are unfamiliar with this device, you can see it here on sale for $22.00: http://www.simplyplumbing.com/275933-washing-machine-valve.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvt65-IS61gIVCi1pCh3JDgd0EAQYAiABEgKL8vD_BwE. Even if MarGo's was a significantly more expensive version of this device, their charge for the job was excessive. I acknowledge being given the quote before hand and going ahead with the work, because I was concerned about the old device, which was leaking, and had no idea this would be such a quick fix. So, I am not claiming they misrepresented anything. But, as I said, even if the device cost five times what I see it for at plumbing suppliers online, and even if the job had taken five times as long, $500 would be excessive. As it was, it was outrageous and there was no consideration of a price adjustment. Just a word to the wise to be aware when deciding who to use. Their flat pricing policy was based on excessively high pricing in my case.
