Distinct Plumbing Heating & Gas Fitting

Very responsive and communicative; they have helped us twice with plumbing concerns simply by providing advice with no charge. Highly recommend.

Kumar and Angel are amazing. I was about to get a new induction stove and found out I needed to have the gas line disconnected before the delivery the next day. They were able to fit me in with very short notice and got it done quickly and professionally. They're also friendly and great at what they do. I'll definitely be thinking of them for my plumbing and heating needs in the future!

Highly recommend! I had an issue with my disposal and couldn't figure it out. They called back within 30 mins of my initial outreach and they were here and the issue was fixed within 24 hours. Highly professional, helpful, and a great value for your plumbing services!

Distinct Plumbing provided great service and a fair price for a sump pump issue at my home. Kumar responded quickly and was very personable and professional. I will definitely hire Kumar again.

Top notch work provided by Kumar and his team. I have had the problem with hot water to the washer for five years. After an hour long diagnosis, Kumar successfully identified the problem. While he is efficient, he is also clear in explaining how he works. He always noticed me of the possible situation ahead of action. Very trust worthy. Would give 10 star if I can.

Kumar fixed our kitchen faucet and stopped the leak yesterday evening, on very short notice because we were losing water. He was truly professional, doing an excellent job on the leak and making sure it was done properly. He was highly trustworthy, super hard working, reliable and also very easy to talk to, giving honest quotes and doing his very best to make his service affordable to us. If we ever need plumbing service again, we will be sure to go to him.

Kumar installed a new Aquor Home Hydrant for us to replace an old leaking outdoor water bib. He did a fantastic job, and we will be calling him first for future plumbing needs.

Out of all of the plumbers we contacted via Yelp, Kumar was the only one who gave us a written estimate, and did so without asking. He was very responsive, both in getting us the estimate, and with  updating us on how far out he was from arriving to do the job. Frankly, we couldn't be happier with the work he did for us. He's highly recommended.

Honest.  Skilled.  Patient.  Gets the job done.

At a recommendation from a friend, we called Kumar for help with our bathtub, and he not only fixed the problem we asked for, but predicted the next problem that would have happened if we had left it as-is, and took care of it at the same time.  He's amazingly quick about getting necessary parts, listens to what you want, and you end up knowing more about the system you've got than when you started.

Today - at the biggest cold snap, our heat went out, and he made the time for us, went way above and beyond to get the part, and got us up and running.   Then, he made sure that we knew how to take care of any other issues that were happening because of the extreme cold.

I cannot recommend Kumar enough - he's got the skills, the contacts, the speed, and apparently has the code memorized.

My shower had low water pressure since covid. We were hesitant to have anyone in the apartment last year so we waited. I contacted a couple different companies. Some never responded and others were ~250/hr. The owner offered a minimum rate for the job and told me the cost could be much higher depending on the work that needed to be done. We didn't know how long the repair would take so we opted to have him come out since we had a better idea of what we would be paying in the end. Both Kumar and his assistant wore masks, and I appreciated that they were willing to take off their shoes since we have some carpeting leading into the bathroom. Turns out my shower valve needed to be repaired. We were overtighting the valve when we shut off the water. It took him and his assistant about 45 minutes to repair the valve. We paid a reasonable price for the work that was done. Kumar is receptive to customer feedback and the customer experience is important to him. I would recommend his services.

We are very happy with our choice to use Distinct plumbing and would recommend their services. Our garbage disposal broke and we needed it replaced. Kumar was quick to respond to my request, quick to set up a time to come, arrived on time and brought the replacement part with him which saved us a trip/ another visit. Very easy interactions and professional. Thank you!

Came very quickly in response to a leaking fridge line. Charged nothing extra for the consult, and gave an estimate prior to the work. Was very friendly, he explained everything he was doing and what steps he was taking, and why he thought it was the best approach. Problem was fixed very quickly, and the plumbing to the fridge is in better shape than it's ever been. Will definitely hire again.

Kumar is a genius at this...he's very quick and efficient and a great communicator. He came out on a Saturday to install a new faucet and plumbing for us. He texted all of the details and the estimates were accurate to the end. If you have any size job of any complexity, Kumar can figure it out.

It's worth noting we had another plumber come out here before Kumar who got extremely stressed out and couldn't figure out how to handle installing our faucet with the new sink which had a lower depth, meaning the plumbing had to be re-routed. Kumar came over and he had no problem with it at all. He had all of the right tools and was able to finish in less than 2 hours. He even gave us a recommendation for an electrician to follow up with. Highest recommendation.

Kumar is excellent to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend him as your go to plumbing guy. Plus he's just a really nice guy.

Very knowledgeable and thorough. Responded to text right away and showed up within a couple of hours. Prices were reasonable.

He takes the time to ensure the problem is completely fixed and no other issues remain. Also gave some useful tips for DIY stuff around the house.

Kumar immediately responded to my request and was able to stop by same day, even adjusting his schedule to fit me in. The issue was evaluated and actually resolved within minutes, and Kumar and his colleague were professional and personable the whole time. Will definitely be using Kumar for all future plumbing needs.

Kumar is great! Every time we have issues we go to him. He explained what he is going to do and find the root cause. Within 2 visit, job done. Highly recommended

They showed up the day i asked for the repair. Kumar quickly assessed the situation with my leaking tub/shower valve. He explained exactly what needed to be done and gave me a fair price. During the process of dismantling the valve, he would show me each piece that was defective and why it needed replacement. His brother was also on hand to assist him were needed and added his expertise as well. After replacing the parts that were needed and reassembling the valve, his brother stepped in to apply the silicone seal like an artist finishing a painting. They had me test the valve so i would feel the way it should properly move. They completed the job within the hour and were on their way.
I would certainly recommend their services.

Kumar does wonderful work. He was very responsive and fit us into his schedule quickly. We had our garbage disposal replaced and he not only did the installation but gave us a walk through on basic maintenance on it and other things to watch out for in the future. We are new home owners and his advice was very helpful. I would highly recommend him.

I can strongly recommend Distinct Plumbing. He came to my jobs
with a strong recommendation from a friend and neighbor, and I
can echo the same for what he did for me. One job in particular was complicated, but Kumar figured out how to do it and do it well and very
efficiently. I would definitely call on him for future plumbing work.

Kumar came to my house for a gas stove disconnect. But while he was on site, he also found and repaired three gas leaks we never would have known about if not for his careful eye. We definitely will be using Distinct plumbing again.

Kumar's plumbing was recommended to us by a friend. We called him for getting two leaking faucets replaced. Kumar was responsive, we had an easy time scheduling, and he gave a detailed and reasonable quote for the faucets. There were no surprise charges and, most importantly, Kumar was very professional, hard-working, and he did a great job. He also did small fixes with the sinks while doing the faucet replacements. We will certainly call him again for plumbing needs. Excellent service.

Kumar answered quickly when first contacted, came for the initial visit extremely quickly, and did wonderful work replacing a disposal, putting in a new faucet and in-line water filter. He came over immediately when we told him that a faulty part of one of the plumbing fixtures we had ordered had been replaced and was available. He could not be more friendly, prompt and competent. He is officially our new plumber!

Great reliable plumbing company. My tenant's bathroom faucet was leaking and there was water all over the floor. I called few plumbers and they said the whole faucet, sink and the plumbing system to the bathroom sink had to be replaced and wanted to charge me $100-$150 inspection fee prior to doing any work. I called Kumar and he came in within few hours of my call. Told me I just needed to change the faucet. Plumbing needed to be fixed up a little bit since the previous plumber I hired didn't even glue the pipes properly and the old piping system started leaking. Recommended against buying a new sink since the old sink was in good condition. Came in on time, did a great job, explained everything to me and left the place neat and clean. He is my go to plumber from now on.

Kumar did a sewage line repair as well as various other fixes and improvements for my condo association.
He took the time to explain each part of the job as well as cautioned about what could go wrong that would increase scope.
The work was done well and he showed up on time and then cleaned up after the work was completed.
We will definitely hire him again.

I feel very lucky to have chosen to work with Kumar at Distinct Plumbing and Heating on three occasions. I originally called him for what I thought was a pipe leak. He showed this could not be the case. He hypothesized it was actually a cracked foundation. With my permission, he tested the hypothesis and located the exact place of water entry on the exterior of the house, as well as additional factors contributing to the amount of water (improper grade, poorly designed irrigation directed in this area under a stoop.)  He used incredibly fair business practices in his work in my new home. He showed intelligence and ingenuity in working with another company in my home, educating them on the best approach to a complex problem on which they were both providing service.  He educated the other company and me concerning his rationale and the risks involved with the less-favored approach. He went the extra step to call the other company to make sure that his approach would be acceptable to their technician for crack repair.
He managed to arrange his schedule to accommodate the other company's last-minute scheduling to fix the crack before further damage occurred. He then prioritized his return to reinstate our water supply. Among all of the excellent professionals with whom I have had the pleasure of working in the past, I have never dealt with any home service professional of this caliber and high ethical standards. There are plenty of nice people out there. He is also humane and highly ethical. He didn't price gauge when others would have seen a perfect opportunity.

Adding a second review in support of Kumar and his work following my initial review. I've had Kumar to my house twice since his first visit, both times he's been excellent. The first time was an emergency call to deal with an overflowing water issue in my bathroom that I came home to after a day out running errands. We had just been on the phone to set up an estimate for other work in my home and I called him back immediately seeing if he could stop by. Within 30 minutes on a Saturday evening, he was there, fixed the problem almost immediately, and then stayed longer to brainstorm next steps for addressing a larger plumbing issue he discovered in the basement.

Kumar came out again today to do a massive job on the main plumbing line in my house - replacement/upgrade of pipes from a very old system. He showed up early, the work was very well done, he fixed another problem that I had with the old piping in my basement, and was professional in every sense. The price was more than fair for the amount of work (especially considering the cost of goods these days) and I didn't have to worry about a thing.

And again - if the work wasn't already excellent work, Kumar is an exceptionally nice and direct person. I haven't had a problem talking out quotes and solutions to what I need to fix at my house, and that is really refreshing considering the runaround that other people have given me in the past. Hire with confidence.

In a word, Kumar is simply remarkable! Our sewage ejector pump in the basement was not working and I called Kumar -- he was extremely knowledgeable on the phone and suggested a few things to check. He was able to very kindly re-arrange his schedule and to stop by our house on the day of. Kumar requested photos of the pump and already stopped by the warehouse to pick up the identical one in case it needed to be replaced. He stayed for over 5 hours in our house and attempted to first help us get the old pump working (after removing some piping that had clogged the motor). The basement was extremely humid and Kumar was drenched in sweat, but he soldiered on and did everything to try to get things working for us. Ultimately, we decided we needed to replace the pump and Kumar did so with precision workmanship. He is a sincerely kind individual who takes pleasure in helping others. Just. The. Best.

Kumar came to fix a broken shutoff valve for our dishwasher. He was extremely communicative before the process and communicates frequently via text and email, which instantly makes him way better than most local plumbers who are impossible to get ahold of. His communication skills are incredible. Pricing was very reasonable. The job was done efficiently and correctly. I look forward to using him in the future.

Kumar is great!  He is responsive, flexible, hard working, professional and a super nice guy to boot. Based upon the excellent reviews here on yelp, I contacted him and asked him to come to my home to access some minor issues involving probable eventual fixture replacement.  He kept in contact with me until we could figure out a time to do an initial meet up.  Upon meeting Kumar, I knew absolutely that he is an honest and genuine person. When we did a walk through he immediately identified and EXPLAINED to me some very major issues regarding split and corroded waste water pipes that should be addressed as soon as practical. He also made sound suggestions regarding the fixtures.  He was very matter of fact and allowed me make the decisions as to what work should be done and when. Of course, we decided to take care of the pipes first. He sent me an estimate (which I felt was very reasonable especially given the scope of the job) within only a few hours and was available to do the (very extensive) work within 2 days of the initial walk through. He was prompt, professional, clean and efficient.  As expected with an old house with old plumbing,  he encountered some additional issues which he consulted me on, repaired and ultimately did not add to the original estimate. He and a partner had the work done within a mere 4 hours.  I am very impressed with everything and have already recommended him to a neighbor of mine. Thanks so much Kumar!

Highly recommend Kumar. He installed a new faucet in a bathroom and helped with some other plumbing issues around our home. He was professional, arrived on time, and explained everything.  Would happily work with him again.

I called Kumar yesterday with a priority (but not emergency) plumbing need.  He was super responsive, very clear in all his explanations, and really easy to work with.  24 hours later and our problem is already fixed.  Kumar worked with the city to shut off the water, making this zero stress for us.  I selected Kumar based on other Yelp reviews and do not hesitate in recommending him - we will certainly be using him again if we have another plumbing need in the future.

Responsive, easy to schedule, and easy to work with. (Steam boiler was not working.) Very clear communicator: explains up front what the possible issues are, what diagnostics he's doing, what needs to be done now (vs. future), and pricing. Answers all questions respectfully and clearly. Would hire again.

I had an awesome experience getting our new dishwasher installed with Distinct Plumbing. I initially called a couple weeks back when our old dishwasher was making weird noises. They let me know that we'll need to get an appliance repairperson to take a look, but then took the time to call back later to see how the repair consultation went and gave us advice on how what we should or shouldn't spend on getting a repair vs. buying a whole new dishwasher. Fast forward two weeks, we ended up buying a new dishwasher. I called Distinct Plumbing at 9am on Monday morning and had a newly installed, perfectly functioning dishwasher by noon all at a very reasonable price. I would recommend these guys to anyone and will be calling them again for future plumbing needs!

I had a disposal gone bad, leaking all over and Kumar texted me back immediately and the next day, came over with a new disposal and within an hour - he was done. Additionally, he drove all over to find the 3/4 horsepower model that would replace what I have.
He gave me a clear estimate on costs, what was needed and I will absolutely be keeping the number for Distinct Plumbing for any future needs. Very pleased!

I rent my condo and live out of state, so when I got a call from my tenant about a leak on sunday I wasn't sure who to call. I found Distinct online and within a few hours of calling them on the weekend, Kumar was at my condo. He diagnosed the leaky faucet, offered suggestions, and was professional. After I had the part shipped he coordinate with my tenants to get the repair done. Very easy! He did great work and I enjoyed his responsiveness and follow-up. I will use them again!

So very grateful to Kumar for all his help! He was very prompt with his response, gave me a set time, and came as promised. Very courteous and detail oriented. My issue was small but he gave me appropriate attention, didn't dismiss my job, and made sure I had no complaints. I highly recommend Kumar for his knowledge, price, respectfulness, and excellent work!

Our garage disposal died and clogged the the p-trap so our kitchen sink wasn't draining. Kumar was super prompt and friendly when we contacted him. He discussed our issue on the phone, gave us a quote up front, and helped troubleshoot over the phone to make sure we needed a plumber and not a drain company. He was able to fit us in later in the day which was so appreciated because standing water and a non-functional kitchen sink is no fun in an apartment without AC in June!! Kumar worked efficiently and proactively installed hardware to help us avoid this issue in the future. We really appreciate his effort to do things the right way to avoid problems in the future. We will absolutely call him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber!

Kumar has done extensive work for us over the years. He replaced our garbage disposal. He installed our dishwasher. And he replaced our hot water heater. Without exception he did superb work at reasonable prices. He tried to fix our disposal before replacing it in an effort to save us money. He installed our dishwasher expertly and with a meticulous attention to detail. And he saved us from a basement flood by coming to replace our hot water heater before it completely disintegrated. Kumar's company is well-named because of his distinctive conscientious expertise and helpfulness. If you want an expert who will do the job right the first time, call Kumar. This is a strong, five star recommendation, and we will be calling him first for any plumbing, heating, and related work. As a sidetone, Kumar has a great network of other contractors who he has vetted. He recommended Boxford Chimney Sweepers that did a great job with the lining prior to the hot water heater tank replacement. In addition to Kumar's expertise and professionalism, he is also a really nice person to work with and has a great sense of humor.

Kumar was very responsive and professional in setting up a time to check a leaking pipe in the bathroom. He got the job done quickly. Will definitely contact Distinct Plumbing for future repairs.

Rajesh at Distinct plumbing is terrific! We had a leaky garbage disposal. On a Sunday he diagnosed the problem  over the phone with pictures. Soon after he was at our house with a new disposal. He quickly made the repair and gave us some expert advise on other plumbing matters. I highly recommend Distinct Plumbing.

Was helpful in identifying the problem but not so much at fixing anything. Good people to call out for small jobs (or jobs that could be small) but don't really have the capacity to handle bigger ones.

Update: after my bad review, the owner calls me 3 times like a psycho and I don't answer and I block his number.  WHY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE MY REVIEW?? Didn't think I would need a restraining order after looking for a PLUMBER. (Also he never mentioned anything about a free quote and all that fake stuff he said in his response.) He just got caught trying to take me a sucker but i reviewed him.

Called up this outfit for a very straightforward job.  The person who answered the phone whose number is on this page, told me that it would require someone coming out to take a look at it before quoting the price.

Ran this by my tradesmen friends and they confirmed that this sounded like a con to them. And I would agree that any exceptions to the straightforward nature of this job could be answered with some follow up questions or one photo, if even needed.

Is it because a woman called you for a plumbing job?  I know the trades people are sitting high and mighty these days with the economy and building but that doesn't give you an excuse to try to take advantage of women and people in general.

Pass.

Kumar was able to help me the day I called him, provided a very fast quote and did the work immediately!  I just had to have some old piping removed, and he even went above and beyond to come back later that day to remove additional piping in some old closets.  Very helpful, and was so patient in explaining to me what the issues and options were!

Kumar came on very short notice to my home and fixed a leak in my kitchen do a faulty garbage disposal. He was very thorough, explained to me the issue. then went out and purchased a garbage disposal from the hardware store and came back to install it for me. His pricing was very reasonable as well. He was very knowledgable and communicated very well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and he is my go-to now in the future if I have any more issues.

Kamar is absolutely a pleasure to work with - very honest and a true professional. His eye for ensuring safety was first and foremost the most impressive.
The first time I called him was for an emergency situation with my sump pump 2 days before my international trip. He responded within minutes and even called me back a couple of days later to ensure everything was working ok and Offered to stop by if there were any concerns. Which other plumber does that!!!
The most recent experience was with my gas water heater. Not only did he do a fabulous job with the gas line, but he went above and beyond to ensure that the exhaust was done to the heightest safety standards. Whereas, most plumbers were happy to go into the same spot in the chimney, Kumar pointed out the safety issue with not having a proper riser above the heater and warned me that doing it to code was just not enough  - he was right( inspectapedia.com/plumbi… ) Best of all, he fixed it without charging me an arm and a leg.
You won't be disappointed.

We have used Distinct Plumbing twice recently, once for a new water heater and a second time for a heating issue. Both times Kumar was prompt in his response, and was able to complete the work in a timely manner, especially when we had a heating issue on a weekend. I would highly recommend distinct plumbing, and plan to use them for all my needs in the future.

Hi i would definitely call Distinct Plumbing and gas fitters again if i had a Plumbing issue. Not only did they respond to my call and get back to me they came to look and see the problem. Then told me when they would be back to do repairs which they did. I was very pleased with work and work ethics.

I had a full bathroom sink clog that wasn't budging, and had to fly home the next day (with a petsitter coming to stay). Even worse, there was a snowstorm that day. This team managed to find time to come same day despite all of that. Even though they arrived well after 4pm, they stayed until dark doing multiple extra tests to make absolute sure the clog was resolved, and were extremely friendly, communicative, and thorough. I would absolutely recommend them and will be calling them for any future issues. Thanks to this team for helping and being so great on such a stressful day!

Kumar came to our rescue the day after Christmas when our furnace started sounding and smelling odd.  He took time to explain what he thought was wrong and got in touch with an excellent electrician who was able to further troubleshoot for us.   Kumar was professional, caring and went out of his way to make sure we were all set.  He refused to accept any payment for coming to my house - which is unheard of as far as I can tell. I would highly recommend him and we will be using him in the future for any of our plumbing needs.
