Best Businesses in Boston, MA

Very good, very professional, on times, Reasonable price. He is detailed oriented and did a great job with all the little touch ups.

Ive been using Presidential for over 8 years now, always come away happy. From disposal, radiators, leaks, to replacing my boiler, Tim and his crew do a great job, reasonable cost, and in a timely manner. I would recommend Presidential to anyone no matter the plumbing or heating need.

I purchased a real fixer-upper - diamond in the rough - at the end of January 2020. Suffice to say I was a bit overwhelmed with everything that had to fix. But Darren and his team were there to work with me and talk me through the fixes that I knew about and the ones we found along the way.

I cannot say enough how much they really made a difference. From the smallest fix to the biggest projects, they were honest, conscientious and straight forward with what they needed to do and what the impact would be. We successfully fixed all of the plumbing issues and helped turn my house into a home - with working water and gas :)

With any project, there were additional needs and things that we discovered/broke along the way. The team was very accommodating and again very exemplary in their conduct and very resilient in their pricing for services and hardware needed. Additionally, they were very proactive in searching for a solution in extreme cases, in one example they found gas lights that needed to be disabled so they replaced the gas lines directly to the ranges to prevent a larger issue down the road - keeping me informed every step of the way.

Impressive Plumbing is one of the few businesses that are 1:1 with their namesake, everything they do is impressive both in service and conduct. They will truly care about your needs, be responsive if something breaks, and will try to find the best possible solution. I would work with them again in a heart beat.

Hopefully you guys are reading this and know how awesome you are! And to anyone interested in working with them, know you will not regret it. Thank you guys for everything!

Needed help installing / removing a broken 40 gallon gas water heater for a condo. Was extremely quick in providing a quote and availability - had the old one removed and new one installed in under two hours. Arrived on time and picked up the heater since it wouldn't fit in my car.  Kept the basement work area clean and showed me quickly how everything was done + summarized the work they did.

John Macone installed my gas furnace and hot water heater in 1990. I've hired him ever since for projects large and small, including two commodes and a tricky leaky pipe between floors. Call John and he'll call back. On a recent Saturday my furnace conked out on a cold day, leaving my home without heat or hot water. I called John on his emergency line. He was involved in a work project most of the day but promised to come afterward, which he did, at dusk. He dove right into the guts of the furnace he had installed some 27 years before -- and found the problem -- two burnt-out gismos. He didn't need it, but I held a flashlight for him and brought a cushion for his knees. In less than a half-hour the furnace was back on and radiators warming up. It was a good feeling. I can't compare his fees because he's the only plumber I've used -- or wanted to hire. But when someone fixes the problem each time, he's worth extra in my opinion. Powderhouse's high-quality work will live on, as John's two sons are now in the business.

Great plumbers. I first used them for a no heat call and they came out on a weekend even though I wasn't an existing customer.  Then I used them for a dishwasher install and a drain issue.  Other drain companies never really solved my drain problem but they got to the root of the problem haven't had back-ups since.  I highly recommend them.

We've been using Roscia's for everything plumbing-related for about 4 years. Prior to that we would used a variety of plumbers for frozen pipes, messed up drains, installing sinks, renovations etc. We just found they were the ones who most consistently:
1. Responded quickly and, if we needed service urgently, were right there.
2. Fixed what was wrong. These guys know what they are doing. Almost always there is a junior plumber and a more senior person. Clearly, they are training their people.
3. Provided a fair price. Not the cheapest but certainly worth it. Just recently, I hired them to install a faucet I had purchased to replace what I thought was a hopeless old one. They fixed the old one very quickly and cheaply. Could have just done what I asked and charged me more. I was able to return the faucet I purchased.
4. Explained to me how to not need them more often! I have had regular problems with frozen pipes over the years. They recognized that they had been here before and one of their experienced guys walked through the house with me and showed me what I could fix and what practices I could put in place to avoid more problems. Again, they could just keep coming back and charging me.
5. Clean, courteous, professional. Never a mess. They are in, and then they are out. Often I am juggling working from home when they are here so they are as unobtrusive as possible.

Bottom line: real pros, know what they are doing, and treat you fairly. I don't ask for more.

Paul is great -- very thorough and identified past mistakes/patches by prior plumbers. 5/5 stars for skill, speed, price, and friendliness!

Called at 11 PM because a pipe had burst in my house and left a message --- not an overnight level emergency, since I was able to cut off water to that part of the house, but still something I needed a quick turnaround on. They called back while I was out driving in the morning and I wasn't able to call back until 10 AM the next morning, but they still got me in same-day with quick, friendly, competent service that I felt was _very_ reasonably priced given the turnaround. They've helped me out once before, too, and they were great, but this time was notable enough to come leave a review.

I found Chris through Yelp and he came and installed a hybrid electric water heater for me. He picked up the water heater from the supplier, drained and hauled away the old one, put in the new one, then installed the condensation drain line as well, all in a span of a few hours. He's a nice person with a bright personality, and his work is nothing but the best! I have now enjoyed my new water heater for about a month and everything is working perfectly. His rate is also very reasonable, I compared against few others who charged a higher rate and also couldn't come out as fast. I hope to use him again in the future, highly recommended!

I needed help to service a leak in my bathroom, along with other small rectification work since it is an old property. Stephen gave me a fair quote, and was able to help schedule a time within the same week. The technician John was professional and courteous. Turns out that some of the rectifications I asked for weren't needed and I ended up with a smaller bill than my original estimate. Good honest plumbers, will definitely be using them again when I need help in future.

They were punctual and called me in advance when they were coming. I loved that they wore masks and even shoe protectors. Very professional and friendly!

Our Rheem Water Tank, bought in November 2018, had an electrical shortage rendering the HW Tank non-functional.  We called our warranty from Home Depot and was referred to Asurion who gave us a list of Authorized service centers to assist us with our water heater.  We called about 10 places and all said that they were either short staffed or our town was out of the service area (Yet Rheem had them listed on their list.) - We finally called Green Team Drains and Dwayne Frederick who was prompt to return our call and literally came same day to make the assessment and amazingly within 30 minutes had a replacement water heater and ready to do the repair.  This was amazing!

Dwayne was extremely professional, ensured our floor and other areas were protected and knew what he was doing!  In fact, he improved the connections that we had from the main water line to the new water heater.  He was up front on his service call fees and provided all the necessary receipts for us to file out claim.  He was pleasant to talk with and accomplished the total repaid within 2 hours (from assessment to full installation).  

I would highly recommend Dwayne and Green Team Drains for being responsive (not excuse givers by the other 10 recommended Rheem contractors), professional, took care of everything (I keep records on everything and had all my paperwork in hand to assist in the process), left me documentation to file my claim, hauled away all materials and cleaned up the area he worked on.  

If you want great work, a person who likes what he is doing (and is good at it) and took the worry out of a challenging issue - Dwayne and Green Team Drains is your company.  Thank you Dwayne!  Won't hesitate to contact you in the future - outstanding service.

I used Greg to install a faucet. He was professional and I have no idea why that woman posted that obnoxious review.  I would definite use him again for plumbing work. My guess is maybe she's got a personal vendetta.  I would encourage anyone considering him for a job ignore such juvenile personal attacks.

Do not use these scam artists.
I had a pump go on a downstairs bathroom that lasted over 15 years.
In Dec of 2019, the pump goes and these yahoos replaced it...lasted 10 months.
When I call them I never mention anything about a warranty, but they inform me that there is no warranty or guarantee on their work, so they wont even go to look at it to see what's wrong. They could have charged me again, i just wanted it fixed.
I'm so glad they didn't, because I had a reputable company fix it and it was done properly with better workmanship. Do not deal with these scammers.

Needed emergency service for my busted pipes last winter and Francis from Dargon Plumbing provided quick service on the same day called. He made 2 visits on the same day to ensure the problem was fix properly. Very straight forward pricing along with excellent service. Will definitely call again for any future plumbing issues.

Courteous folks. Came out promptly but blindsided by the $100 just-to-show-up fee which was never mentioned plus the very high sounding quote for the problem. Had to pay up and find another plumber who did it promptly and well for a third of the cost they quoted. Strongly recommend you get an upfront quote from them for the visit before they come out to your house and be ready to pay $$$ for the job.

I have been a long time customer for Trethewey Brothers. They have replaced steam boilers and hot water systems in two multi-family buildings that we own (including the one we live in) and made several service calls over the past twelve years.

My experience has been that their pricing is very competitive and their service is top notch.

The boiler replacements involved disassembly and removal of the old oil tanks, removal of the very large cast iron boilers, lining the chimneys with a stainless steel liner, bringing in the new boilers (in sections!) and installing large Superstor hot water systems. The various techs and tradespeople were incredibly well choreographed and the work well executed. Each project was substantially completed (i.e. heat and hot water back online) within two days - really incredible considering the amount of work and coordination required.

Periodic service calls have always been scheduled promptly and the techs that came out were polite and knowledgeable. Unlike some others, the techs were very polite and respectful when meeting with my wife (who is less familiar with the boiler systems than I am)  instead of me for service calls.

Recently in July, on a late Friday afternoon / evening, I called to ask for a service call on a boiler that was making heat (during the summer !). I got a call back from Bob immediately to do a phone diagnosis. After answering various questions, he determined that there was no emergency, but said that he would get a tech to head back into the city to work on it. I told him that given how hot it was and that most , if not all people would be away for the weekend, we could just turn off the boiler and wait until Monday. Bob scheduled a tech for the first thing Monday morning. The tech that came out was, as usual, very polite and knowledgeable. He cleaned some parts,  adjusted the controls, inspected everything and, at my request, did the rest of what would be a typical tune-up. He took the time to explain what he did and it was done at a very fair price for the effort.

Based on many years of positive experiences  with Trethewey Brothers, I highly recommend them.
