Mark Tango has been fixing Reading-area plumbing problems long enough that one reviewer's parents have lived in town longer than he's been alive — and he still personally takes the late-night calls. Something breaks, someone calls, and Mark or his brother Domenic is out the next morning, sometimes the same day. The specific jobs pile up: a water tank replaced same-day after it died overnight, a cracked shower pan checked within the hour, old cast-iron drain pipes torn out and replaced, a boiler diagnosed over the phone before Domenic came out to fix it. Two customers describe full bathroom renovations — one called it a "complete" bathroom remodel, another a master bath reno — done alongside the routine plumbing calls the company is best known for. Several customers have used Tango for 10, even 20-plus years, for everything from a leaky sewer line to HVAC duct work and a heat pump repair. There are two accounts worth knowing about before calling. In a 2025 review, someone wrote that Mark owes them thousands of dollars and hasn't followed through on paying it back — a serious claim about money rather than about work performed, but a real one to weigh. Separately, a 2022 review opens by describing a prompt initial response but ends in a 1-star rating over a problem the reviewer doesn't fully spell out. For a plumbing emergency, a bathroom renovation, or ongoing home maintenance in the Reading area, the reviews describe a responsive, hands-on family operation that customers keep calling back for years. Given the unresolved money complaint, it's worth asking directly about billing and payment terms before any larger project, and getting a clear written estimate up front.
Tango Plumbing is what a family-owned business should be: responsive, professional, honest, and genuinely committed to its customers. I recently had an issue after hours and received an immediate call back. Their crew was at my house first thing the next morning to fix the problem. They consistently treat me like a VIP, and I never take that for granted. The contrast with another local contractor couldn’t be greater. I recently waited a full week (7 days) for an estimate after two unsuccessful service calls from another company despite multiple follow up calls. Customer service matters, and Tango gets it right every time. Thank you Mark, Dom, Lil’ Mark, Gary, and Nick. I appreciate your outstanding service, reliability, and commitment. Tango has earned my trust and loyalty time and again. Highly recommend!
Nick and Mark were fabulous to work with. I highly recommend using Tango Home Services.
Great experience with Tango Plumbing. Received an immediate call back and next day appointment for my repair. They arrived on time and fixed my issue in no time. Very professional and courteous. Will absolutely use them again for any future plumbing problems
Mark is not to be trusted. He owes me thousands of dollars and the last time I have received money was this summer. He talks a good game about paying but doesn't follow through.
Mark is very personable and professional! He was able to help us replace our kitchen floor and appliances in the kitchen after our old dishwasher leaked. They also helped fix up numerous other smaller “fixes” that we needed done. Mark and his crew were able to accommodate us promptly and did a great job! Don’t hesitate to trust this crew with whatever you need!
