Mag plumbing & Remodeling

Ahmed is a wonderful, experienced and attentive plumbing genius. When he sees a job that he feels the homeowner can do very easily without him, he shows the homeowner precisely how to do it, going as far as to remove fixtures to show how it is done, thus saving the homeowner money and proving that Ahmed is both credible and honest. I will DEFINITELY hire him again for my next plumbing job.

He cALLED FIRST TO LET US KNOW BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS URGENT. HE FIXED A COMPLEX PROBLEM ON BOTH OUR SHOWER AND TOILET IN A QUICK AMOUNT OF TIME, MADE SURE WE SAW ALL THE WORK DONE, AND HIS PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

when smoothly...and on time.

Excellent.

Amazing, he diagnosed the situation, and actually fixed it on the spot, quite remarkable, we are so thankful!

As always when I bring Ahmed in to do a job for me, it is done perfectly the first time. Ahmed only believes in flawless service, and he goes out of his to provide that, unlike any other service provider I have ever met. <br />

It went extremely well.  Ahmed appeared promptly and was able to complete the work as promised.   We have not had problems with the drain since it was cleared.   I've used Ahmed (Mag plumbing and remodeling) for a number of large and small jobs and have always been impressed with the quality of their work and their professionalism.  I can recommend them for any job they are willing to take on. <br />

Ahmed had been working with the home warranty people for the past few weeks to ensure we got the correct tank. Home warranties only cover like for like typically so the new tank is not a vast improvement, but will save 150Kw or so per year. We're all electric so options were limited. Ahmed worked with our warranty company to get us the best tank possible under coverage and arrived same day once it was finally available which was also late in the afternoon, but he came anyway despite having to work past sunset and looming thunderstorms.  <br /> Upon arrival and getting the old tank out, it was confirmed a drip tray which we did not previously have but wanted for the new tank to prevent water seepage into our finished area would not work in the space unless the utility sink was moved over along with the washer and dryer (thankfully we had almost a foot to spare on the other side within the space). We decided to go ahead and replace the sink too despite it doubling our out-of pocket costs that the warranty didn't cover. Ahmed took the time to go with me to a nearby Home Depot and once the sink was selected, ensured we had all the necessary parts to install properly. Though the job took a lot longer than anticipated and cost more money, I am totally satisfied with the level of craftsmanship Ahmed provided. He really knows plumbing, and made sure we were left with a better situation than what we had before, despite additional investment on our part; worth every penny! <br /> His language skills are a bit of a hurdle, but Ahmed is 100% professional, courteous, knowledgeable, patient, cleaned up afterward, and I would recommend him for any plumbing task. He even took a minute to look at a problematic shower head that I thought was a pressure issue from the tank but was just clogged in the shower head's hose which he took care of no problem. <br /> Thanks! <br />

We have a Sears home warranty and filed a claim for garbage disposal replacement as we found out it is leaking water.  Initially the home warranty company sent a different plumbing company (Alliance Plumbing), that is horrible (I also wrote a review for them). The other company took the payment on April 10th, and didn't show up to the appointment twice, and never return the call. So after a few weeks of efforts, the home warranty company reassigned the work to Mag Pluming on the morning of April 29th. Ahmed showed up at 3pm prepared, he went ahead bought a new garbage disposal based on his experience before he came to our house, and it is the right type. He replaced the garbage disposal and made sure that the water is not leaking from dishwasher, he explained to me how to do a simple fix in the future if it stops working and left me a small ranch for that purpose. He cleaned up the dirt and is very professional and I can tell that he truly cares about his work and wants to make sure he helps his customers. The two companies' service levels are night and day.  I will definitely use Ahmed again and recommend him for anyone who has the need. <br />

Ahmed and his crewe were terrific -- hardworking, reliable, completely trustworthy. While the job took a little longer than estimated because it took too long for faucets and other accessories to come in, the crew was eager for everything to be right. And Ahmed was completely responsive and accommodating to our busy scheduled and lives. I'm already thinking about future jobs I'll want them to do for me!!!

Excellent service.  Technician was very knowledgeable and also offered advice on other plumbing areas. <br />

It couldn't have gone better. Egyptian-born and educated Ahmed knows his stuff! In just a little over an hour, he had removed both the old, rusty, leaking valves and installed gleaming, new copper ones with handle-operated valve levers.  They both work great and I am SO happy. I recommend Ahmed for any plumbing job, and really, any remodeling job that involves plumbing.  A few years ago, Ahmed constructed an entire bathroom for me in my basement that I use everyday and have had no problems at all. You can't go wrong with MAG Plumbing and Ahmed Elghoraiby. <br />

This plumber was a gentleman and very knowledgable, tweaking my home's plumbing system in ways I would not have thought of and identifying small potential problems I would not have found.  He answered all of my questions thoroughly.  My water heater, unfortunately, had never been flushed in 13 years and so was completely calcified, making it impossible to flush.  He gave me a verbal quote on a new one -  a very reasonable price.  He did not follow with a written estimate up by e-mail as promised, however.  Anyway, I did eventually replace the water heater with an Angie's List Big Deal that was hard to beat. <br />

He took apart the shower head and discovered a broken piece inside. He fixed the issue and now it is working perfectly. He also fixed a sink drain that wouldn't drain properly. He also fixed two exterior faucets that wouldn't work properly because it had frozen up. He is a very hard worker and is always very careful to explain what he is doing and what I could do to avoid a problem in the future. He is not fluent in english over the phone. You just have to be patient with him and he absolutely knows his stuff and the patience definitely pays off in the service.

The plumber performed a cursory check of the plumbing in the house. The outdoor faucets and refrigerator ice maker line were overlooked as well as the floor drain under the spa tub.. On the phone prior to the visit, I asked how long it would take to perform the   water heater "flush" and inspection. He said about 45 minutes. It took him about 30 minutes including the water heater flush. He looked at the plumbing in/under each sink, tub and shower and noted there was no evidence of leaks and  pointed out   a few obvious problems I was already aware of ( e.g. disconnected sink plugs, old faucets, etc.). Even though this was an Angie's List "Big Deal" supposedly at half the usual price, i thought it was excessive for the  service provided. <br />

Ahmed is very good.  He and his team renovated several spaces in my house and did an excellent job.  He was prompt and professional.  He really works hard for the homeowner and wants to make you happy. <br />

It went very well. He came within an hour of my call on a Sunday morning and I was very impressed with that.

Ahmed did a thorough and professional job. He made recommendations for future work but only when needed. There was no pressure to do immediate additional work. <br />

We did not have any problems scheduling it.  The plumber said two of our toilets were leaking so we paid $300 extra for the two toilets.  We were happy with the service except that we had to ask him to come back because there was a mess up with the connection in one of the toilets and he came back and took care of it.  All in all, it was good. 

worked with assistant whom he hired <br /> purchased items necessary for patch from (nearby) Home Depot <br /> left place clean <br /> advised on conditions for repair of ceiling <br /> RESPONDED PROMPTLY TO REQUEST FOR HELP ON THE FOURTH OF JULY! <br /> MIGHT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE A LOWER PRICE <br /> <br />

I have used Ahmed before at my former home, please see previous reviews.  I just bought a new home that had been completely redone with carpet in the basement.  While there is a sump pump in the basement, I am not a fan of carpeting and even less in areas with the potential for water, so I decided to tile.  Ahmed was the first person I called and was not the cheapest of the three quotes, but I knew if I hired him the job would be done well and on time.  Ahmed came with me to pick up the materials and helped me decide on a beautiful tile.  His staff laid it with precision and honestly you can't tell that's it's not hardwood.   If you want a contractor that shows up on time, performs the job as agreed and you can trust being in your house- Mag Remodeling is the way to go.  I may just give Ahmed a key, I plan on using him for most jobs in the future. <br />
