Annual AC maintenance and review done today and MOE was excellent with information and helpful tips regarding energy savings and company service. Courteous and respectful of property and and my home. He was knowledgeable and professional. Moe worked quietly and without disturbing any household routine even though I had several things going on at the time. I've used Margo throughout the past 10 years without any complaints about their work or their service techs. read more

I always use MarGo for the bigger jobs. They are not the cheapest, however, I trust their recommendations and work and know they stand by what they do. I always ask for Mike - he is always professional, easy to work with, and knows what he is doing. The owner Joe is the same and his company has done excellent work at my parent's house and my condo over the years. I recently had the entire HVAC system replaced at my Condo. Mike located the entire system quickly and he along with Joe and another person had it up and running within 4-5 hours. Mary also was helpful and pleasant. I will continue to yse Margo. read more

When my regular plumber was on vacation, I called this company as I had small leak on the floor by the toilet. They looked at it, $500 to replace the wax ring between the toilet and drain pipe. The wax ring is about a $5 part. What really annoyed me is they insisted I really needed a new toilet. The toilet was working fine, no cracks or leaks other than the wax ring. Was quoted $1100 for the new toilet. Their sales tactic was well since we're replacing the ring, you should replace the whole toilet. I would not recommend this company to anyone, insane prices and scam sales tactics. read more

Had an issue with the furnace and called at night...they responded timely and set an appointment for 7:30 am next day. Rep John showed up earlier than stated and was very polite and friendly. He assessed the situation and was able to fix within minutes! So happy he was able to fix it since it's getting colder out now. Will definitely keep this number for anything in the future (hopefully not) I would,highly recommend this company!!!! I love when people are polite and friendly! read more

Technician was friendly and polite but overall $$$. They do charge a mandatory $150 diagnostic fee just to come out and look at the unit, which does not get credited towards any labor or anything else. Due how expensive my quick and simple fix was, i will not being using them in the future. read more

I've called upon MarGo for multiple issues with the house (sink, garbage disposal, toilet, pipes). Each time they come in a timely manner, diagnose the problem and come with a quote doe us to sit on. We used to compare and actually went with someone else once before which ended up being a bad experience. We ended up having to go back to MarGo a bit ashamed we didn't just go with them initially! They aren't the cheapest but they get it done. Things just have a cost and quality work by plumbers who work hard and deserve a good wage doesn't come cheap. It just doesn't. Thank you MarGo and as we do live in an older home, I'm sure we will be calling you again soon. read more

They fixed water pipe July 2020 and broke again Nov 2021. They said it's unfortunate (over 1 year warranty) and should not happen. But I paid full amount for fix. Repair took less than 1 hr. read more

MarGo Plumbing Heating Cooling - Plumbing Near Me - Cedar Grove, New Jersey

Had masks, shoe covers. Super fast response time and wonderful customer service. Our hot water heater broke at 9 am and they were there 11 am with a new one installed and running before 2. Very responsive, professional and helpful. read more

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! read more

Very convenient. It was easy to schedule an appointment for the work. It wasn't an emergency, so the appointment was 2 days later. They confirmed the appointment by phone the day before. Everyone on the phone was easy to understand, polite, pleasant, and efficient. Xavier, the plumber, was terrific. He arrived when he was supposed to. He was friendly, polite, and explained the work before he did it. He cleaned up after himself, wore booties inside my house, and wore a properly fitted face mask. A very pleasant experience. Why only 3 stars? Because they charged $533 for 10 minutes of plumbing work. They gave me the estimate before starting the work and I approved it, so that's on me. Perhaps I should have said thanks, but no thanks. But I don't know any other plumbers and I didn't feel like looking and rescheduling. Maybe I'm just an old geezer (I'm 67) but $533 seems like a lot of money for a very simple plumbing repair. I've been very fortunate, and writing a check like that doesn't break my bank account. But what do people less fortunate than me do? The fee was half a weeks pay for someone earning $50,000 a year. Counting the whole time he was here, that's just under $18 a minute when the minimum wage isn't even $15 an hour. That's pretty steep! read more

Really appreciated the customer service, and expertise of Margo. Both times that I have worked with them, their team took the time to explain the details and helped me to prevent future issues. My ac unit is working much better and I've learned a lot. It also was a nice touch, when they followed up with a courtesy call to ensure that I was satisfied with their service. read more

New homeowner and our heat all of a sudden stopped working overnight. I called MarGo the next morning and was able to get a technician here within a few hours (showed up during the given window too which is always a plus). The technician Mike was super friendly and looked into everything for us, turns out we needed a new thermostat which he was able to replace on the spot. Afterwards he gave me some great tips on how to maintain my boiler and radiators. Will be using them for all future plumbing and heating needs in the future. read more

Mike and Joe went above and beyond to get our sink and bath working. They even got up on our roof to run a snake through an otherwise inaccessible pipe to finally clear it. They were very professional and courteous, on time, and left the house clean and proper. MarGo is on the pricier side, but they're top notch and worth it. Will hire them again. Just hired them a third or forth time now for a gas line and range install this time around - great professional service as usual! read more

Totally wish I consulted Yelp and not google reviews before going with Margo, as I certainly agree with several of the low reviews on here. I had them come over to service my furnace and repair a small 8 inch leaking pipe at my home that was not urgent. Furnace- they refused to work on the furnace because it was very old and they did not want to take "the risk" of working on that project and not being able to fix the issue. Their recommendation was replacing the entire furnace for $9,300. Solution: I called another plumber same day, he replaced the zone valve/bled the radiators and the heat works in my house. 8 inch copper pipe replacement- $600+ dollars to fix. I agreed to this at the time (which in retrospect was insane, I get that) and the mechanic finished in 15 minutes. After I called my father to discuss the plumbing situation (I am a new homeowner and pretty clueless), he recommended I call them to inquire about the bill as to him it seemed very excessive. After speaking with the owner of the company he explained to me that they price their jobs by task and not hourly. I asked him if there was anything he could do about the price and he said no- he has a business to run with overhead and that I signed the invoice. All in all- I thought the customer service was good with a call back and scheduling but outside of that- I am severely disappointed with this company. I will never be using them again and either will any of my family members. read more

Outrageously dishonest. We were quoted $1300 to completely replace a leaky faucet and a few other minor things; my second opinion told us we just needed a $50 part from Amazon that I could install myself. It took me 10 minutes to install the part and another 5 minutes to address the other minor issues via YouTube. Thank goodness we didn't go with them! read more

We had quite a sudden large leak that we needed to both determine a root cause for and fix. Both Jesse and Mike arrived promptly, assessed the situation, and made a quick fix. They also provided me with some options for a long-term fix with a corresponding estimate. Throughout it all, both were extraordinarily professional - communicating clearly at every step. They were clean, wearing shoe covers, and cleaning up any debris. They took the time out to explain in detail everything they found and showing me the fixes they put in place. I would certainly call them again for any future plumbing needs. read more

Joe from Margo plumbing (and his crew) gave me a quick appointment during the peak heating system. He was prompt and came as scheduled with courtesy calls before and after from the office. They were very courteous and super-clean and professional. He performed the HVAC inspection providing tips and pointers and replaced worn out parts showing and explaining each step of the way. He even provided assistance with a problem he spotted with my hot water heater. Margo is by far the best contractor I've hired to date. read more

I was selling my house and discovered that the person who installed my water heater had not gotten a permit and that it was not properly vented. Margo got me in quickly and fixed the problem. At first i thought it was a lot of money charged for the work. After it was explained to me that the company was taking on the responsibility of certifying someone else's work, i realized that it was reasonable. Adam, the technician was knowledgeable and efficient. Sue, the scheduler was very helpful and understanding of my dilemma! I would recommend this company. read more

The techs just left my house & they were so good I had to sign on and give a 5 star rating. Mike & Dino were true pros. They respect the home, explain the problem so that you understand it & go over all options with you. This was my first experience with a plumbing service at our new home and now I'll always go to this company first moving forward. (repair - leaking shower faucet, hot water heater issue) read more

Estimates were insane price.. $1400 to replace a toilet , 5X what others quoted and a similarly crazy price to fix a small faucet leak of $300 with an additional option to break the wall which would cost a lot more "just to make sure the leak was fixed" . I also had my shut offs installed by them years ago. The guy said I didn't have shut offs and they didn't install them and I would have to pay for those also. I though I was having a memory lapse but then opened my vanity drawer and saw them behind the drawer. Unreal . read more

The tech they sent out seemed like a good guy working for a terrible company! They are soooo insanely overpriced but I was fed "You get what you pay for" pitch! I get the feeling they prey on people who are in a bind and have no idea how much a job should cost! Unfortunately for them I have been in heavy construction nearly 30 years, the tech looked at my water heater, then started asking where main water shut off is to the house, (there is a water shutoff right on the hot water heater, then tested my pressure outside my house! Immediate red flag, this clown was gonna try to BS the estimate! Received the estimate after a half hour of him sitting in his truck on his phone, sure enough added in nonsense that wasnt needed! Simple water heater replacement 2700! Didnt wanna laugh in his face! Called another local plumber, gave a quote with only picture of my hot water heater, 1100 same exact brand water heater, done in an hour and job is perfect! Hopefully nobody gets scammed by these scam artist! read more

I am discouraged by Margo Plumbing. We thought of them as our trusted plumber. My mom in Cedar Grove had a small leak from tank bolt. Margo plumbing gave her a $1300 estimate. New toilet and shut off valve?? What? Honest plumber got a new bolt kit for $7.98 and fixed the problem. I guess Margo is dishonest. Sad. Going to make their money off the elderly or those who do not know. I would recommend you try another plumber. Lack of God and lack of integrity. Shame on Margo. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I called MarGo Plumbing on Monday evening to clear up an issue that I was having with the bathtub. When the 2nd floor took a shower, black gunk came out of the 1st floor's tub faucet. After leaving a message with someone, Joe called me back and said that he could refer someone else in Bloomfield, NJ if I needed immediate help. I declined & told him that I don't mind if someone came out the following day. He said that someone would call by 9 am. The next morning, I missed a call at 8am while I was getting my coffee. After a return call to MarGo Plumbing, I received a call at 8.53am from Jesse who was already at the site. Jesse was very knowledgeable, courteous & pleasant to talk to. He explained everything that he did & made me aware of some preexisting conditions. There was a crack in the sink & he didn't want to get blamed for it since he was going to be using a heavy duty snaking machine. I'm not sure I would have noticed the crack but it was good that he pointed it out. The whole job took about 2 hours. Jesse used the snaking machine on the tub drain, the sink drain, & the sink drain from the opposite direction from the basement. He double checked his work looking for leaks or damaged pipes but there were no damages & cleaned up any mess that he made. Jesse explained before the job started the potential consequences of using the snaking machine & the cost of repairing any damages that may occur. When asked if he would rather hang out his own shingle & strike out on his own, Jesse said that he worked as an employee of MarGo Plumbing for 13 years & was happy working for them. He said that he liked the way that MarGo treated their employees & their customers. I've never met a contractor who was happy w/ his boss until I met Jesse. Everything was explained & when I had no questions, Jesse asked if I understood what he was explaining. Although he said he wasn't soliciting for additional business, he pointed out that my boiler was more than 10 years old so I asked him for a ballpark quote which he provided me with. The total cost minus a $25 coupon came to $230.05 w/ NJ Tax. The cost seems high but I think the whole process & service was well worth it. It's a bonus that MarGo accepts credit cards as a form of payment. If I need plumbing services again, I think I'll call Jesse D. at MarGo Plumbing. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I found Mar-Go based upon Yelp reviews and am so glad we called. We needed someone to come out asap and they did. I called and left a message and my called was returned as soon as they opened. I was given a timeframe and was also noticed prior to the tech coming out with the techs name and approx time of arrival. The tech was very professional, brought booties (a plus for us since we don't wear shoes in the house) and was thorough. He made sure I was clear on what he checked and the outcome. I also received a follow up call a couple days later from the office confirming everything is still OK. It's hard to find good, responsive companies. Glad I called Mar-Go. read more

I had a clogged toilet an they came out and snaked it $481. Later after they left the toilet clogged again. I called them back and they snaked it again $374. As they left they said if it happens again I will need to replace my sewer line for 7500. It happened again, but this time I called a different plumber who arrived within an hour figured out and fixed the problem then for good measure camera'd my sewer from the house to the street which was clear and fine. He charged $225. The ironic thing was that I chose them originally because of their good reviews. read more

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 read more

We needed our furnace flushed. We called on Sunday to set up an appointment for the next week and to our surprise someone answered. They quoted us a price and stuck with it. They explained to my boyfriend how to flush it himself. Great service and no pushy up selling. Strongly recommend. read more

Excellent work. They replaced toilet which was stopped up, replaced faucet and fixed leaky faucet. Timely clean and courteous. No hard sell and complete explanation of work in advance and done for the quoted price. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Came out within a day to take a look at intermittent AC unit. Charged VERY reasonable rates, esp compared with other companies. Seem honest, qualified, had proper tools, foot covers. Very respectful. Pleasure to do business with them & look forward to using them in the future. Nathan read more

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. read more

I cannot sing enough praises about MarGo. We moved to Montclair almost 3 years ago and went through a slew of inept companies who patched over things and charged us an arm and a leg. Fast forward, we finally found MarGo to fix basically every heating, air conditioning and plumbing issue for our home that was built in 1880. They are top notch and I have recommended them to everyone I know. They truly do everything right and clean. They have the most trusted and kind people working for them. From Mary, the executive assistant, to mike and Dino. And the owner himself has come to fix several things for us at a last minutes request. Also, during this time it's hard to have someone in your home. They wore masks and shoe covers and distanced themselves. Very respectful. I have two small children and felt comfortable with them coming in and out of our place. If you want something done the RIGHT WAY from the get go, use MarGo. They truly care about their customers and do an impeccable job every time. They won't over charge you for anything unnecessary. You definitely pay for what you get and are given proper expectations for what's best for your home. read more

The secretary with whom I made an appointment was extremely nice. The plumber showed up and he was really nice and professional. However, I think I was overcharged. I was charged $300 for a broken pipe inside of the faucet. I got the good news/bad news line as some reviewer's here on yelp have mentioned. However, I am still giving four stores because I had already called several plumbers who did not show up at all. These guys showed up, we're extremely professional, and got the job done. So in the end, I guess it was worth it. PS I found them on yelp so thanks a lot! read more

Just had Joe and his team do our oil to natural gas conversion and change our water heater and I could not be happier with my decision to go with MarGo Plumbing. Joe was as on top of everything as one could be, constantly updating me and keeping me in the loop on what they were doing and what was going on. Very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. They are also very neat, organized, and clean, wearing shoe covers and cleaning everything up. Prices are very competitive and estimates are very detailed so both parties are clear on the engagement with no confusion. MarGo Plumbing operates its business like every other contractor/small business should operate and I will certainly be recommending them to anyone I know. If you need plumbing work, you should definitely, at least, get an estimate from MarGo and see for yourself. read more

All true but I had all the items you referenced repaired by a licensed plumber. For everything listed in your estimate, the cost was $1,075.00. That is $1,700.00 less than your estimate. read more

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! read more

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. read more
