Avoid this business--dishonest pricing and terrible service…read more I called at 5 PM on a Friday to get my sewer drain unclogged. I was quoted $378 plus a $200 weekend emergency fee. To save money, I told the dispatcher I would wait until Monday. She then offered to waive the $200 fee and send a technician out immediately. This turned out to be a bait-and-switch. They sent a technician without a vacuum truck, meaning he couldn't actually unclog the drain. Instead, he just cleaned a filter and charged me $168. If they had sent the correct truck in the first place, cleaning the filter would have been included in the original job price. It feels like they forced a dispatch just to trap me into paying a service fee, knowing they couldn't fix the actual problem. To make matters worse, the technician was incredibly unprofessional. He initially told me the visit would be $128, but after calling the office, he hiked the price to $168 and lied to my face, claiming he never said $128. He also seemed completely clueless and had to be walked through the basic steps of the job over the phone by his office. I paid the fee just to get him to leave and canceled any future service. I would give 0 stars if possible.

Had these guys recommended to us to come unclog a kitchen drain. He asked to come early but still…read morearrived an hour late, started ripping apart the drain without a bucket to catch the water and then laying the nasty dirty pipes on our 6' long woven kitchen mat, rather than a blanket, a paper towel or even the tile floor. The snake did not work and actually got stuck for awhile but that's because the pipes were very bad & could not be unclogged as it was legitimately bad 70 yr old galvanized pipes completely corroded and blocked. So, after multiple methods & tries, I agreed that we needed to replace about 10' of old galvanized pipe with PVC and the basic older PVC drain components under the sink. Understandably, they could not come back until the following day since the scope of work had changed. The actual plumber (very nice guy, decent work, but VERY MESSY) scheduled his return for 8:30 the next day, and estimated 4 hrs of work for $1,100 + materials, tbd. As we were left without a kitchen sink, since he got us in for the next morning & was recommended by a friend and fellow plumber, I agreed to the high labor estimate, knowing it there was a chance that it could take more than 4 hrs and signed for the labor, while my wife spent 2 hrs that night cleaning our kitchen mat from drain grease. Next morning, I had to go to work so my wife took the day off. Midmorning, I'm getting texts from her asking for his number as no one had shown up and I had not heard anything. Again, over an hour late, but shows up and gets the job done in about 2.5 hrs. As he's leaving, he asks for almost $1,500. She says, ok, please just give me the break-down for the materials. He has to call the office, puts my wife on the phone with the brother who refuses to provide an itemized list of material costs. Plumber leaves, wife pays the agreed upon labor charge of $1,100 for 4 hrs that took 2.5, no questions asked. Wife says she will pay materials, even marked up materials, if she is given a breakdown (again, this was 10' of 2-1/2" PVC and a few fittings). Mind you, I'm an Executive Construction Project Manager for nearly 20 yrs. I receive an email with a list of random items, no prices, including boxes of rags, latex gloves, boxes of glue, etc. I tell wife to get a real breakdown before settling after already paying the inflated labor cost. My wife then receives a barrage of texts threatening escalation unless "agreed upon" material costs are not paid...but no materials were agreed upon and they refused to provide material details. I get out of work and start receiving the same texts...for hundreds of dollars of materials that they refuse to itemize. On top of that, the mess left was insane and I later found he left a 6" piece of old nasty piping in the wall that I had opened up for them, stinking up the bsmt, dripping old grease down the walls. Never again...talk about choosing their battles Talk about choosing your battles...and knowing when to stop arguing with customers.

Update: This company went from a great experience, to the worst experience. My secondary heat…read moresource went out during the winter and I called for a service checkup. After about 15 minutes of work I was told the condenser had to be replaced due to mice chewing the electrical wires. I could understand this. Here is where the issue comes in. The technician first said it would be $3400 to replace. He then went to his truck and came back to tell my wife it would actually be $8,000, but they added a discount so I would Pay $6,000. The total cost of the whole install (condenser unit + 4 wall units) was 12,000. So just to replace the condenser is over half the cost of the initial install. I called to complain and spoke with the service manager. The service manager essentially explained to me that this was accurate because if they did the install today it would be 23,000. So they evidently had a 100% price increase. I then explained the invoice showed the unit itself as 2,000 and then labor as 6,000. He explained to me that was untrue, that due to the new invoice system they have, they can just put numbers anywhere essentially, so I should ignore the invoice. I explained my frustration and how that does not make any sense and I am not paying 6,000 for a condenser and labor. He said he understood and would escalate it higher and I would get a call later that day or the next. It's going on 3 days now and I have not heard back. This company went from one of my top rated to near highway robbery. I cannot reccomend them to anyone at this point, and will need to look into alternatives to get my heat back in the winter.

I called MacDonald and left a message. He called back within an hour and was at our house, which is some distance from his business, in less than an hour. He found the problem, which fortunately was only a bad pressure sensor that let the tank pressure exceed the 75 psi limit and the water was overflow when relief valve did it's thing. He replaced the bad sensor, fixing the problem. His fee was exceedingly reasonable. We are very pleased with the service for he responded quickly, diagnosed the problem and fixed it with no fuss. Not only that, he is an exceedingly pleasant person to deal with, cheerful, knowledgeable and very willing to explain what, why and alternatives. We have used his services off and on for the last decade or so, as he dealt with various plumbing problems that have arisen. At his suggestion, we modified our several outside faucets so that we didn't have to drain them each fall, our custom to prevent pipe freezing at the faucets for our winters are very cold, and the modification was inexpensive and works like a charm. I have noted that he works very well with my wife, explaining things, listening carefully and working with her to make changes that she needed. Frankly, we trust and value Mr MacDonald. He's the kind of service person that we really do like to work with. He is prompt, the quality of his work is excellent and his charges very reasonable. Harold Craig

We called other plumbers and left messages but got no response. My husband went out to get supplies to try to fix it himself but was nervous. While he was gone, I found them on Yelp with 3 great reviews and I called Mike's number. The woman who answered the phone was so sweet and helpful and said she would contact the guys. I did do a follow up after a while and Mike was still on another job. Mike immediately called us back and told my husband something he hadn't tried, heating the pipe, and it was just what we needed to know and were able to fix it ourselves, thanks to him sharing his knowledge and expertise with us over the phone. These are generous people and I will certainly not hesitate to contact them again the next time we need something plumbing related. I certainly recommend them, and love that he was able to help us over the phone so it could be fixed quicker.

Two years ago we needed a new septic pump. Mascetti installed it and all seemed fine. Two years…read morelater, now, the pump failed. We texted and called Mascetti; no one got back to us. We had another septic company suggest it was a bad float (without seeing it). We paid an electrician who came out to fix the float $700 to fix a part which he thought caused the issue. A week later, the pump failed entirely. Both the septic guy and the electrician said the pump wasn't installed properly and wasn't the right type of pump to pump up a hill where our leaching fields are. Certainly, a new pump should last more than 2 years. We are now facing the cost of installing a new pump, on top of the sunk cost of $700.
