Best Faucet Installation in Boston MA
This is an odd sort of review, in that I didn't actually have them do any work for me... but I was so impressed by my phone conversation that I felt I needed to give kudos.
I just bought a condo and I'm looking for a contractor to do some HVAC work before I move in. Based on the positive reviews here I called Big Blue. I have a very tight timeline in which I need the work done, and Kevin was very upfront about the fact that he was too booked to work within my timeline, but that he'd like to help me. He proceeded to talk with me for 25 minutes (!!) about my options, his opinions and recommendations, and then he recommended another company that he trusts. What a remarkable experience - so interested in good customer service and honesty that he gave his business to someone else. While I can't have him do this particular job, I ABSOLUTELY will be calling him for any further plumbing or heating needs that might come up.

Angel was able to come down and figure out what's wrong with my leaky toilet. He appeared honest and thorough. He also explained to me what he was doing and what the costs were. He was able to quote me a ballpark figure on the phone and because nothing else was wrong, he did not deviate from it. Great guy, great company.
thanks!
thanks!

I called Consolidated with an urgent problem. Something had broke in the basement and everything was flooded. I shut down the water main, and called, hoping someone would come that same day. Within a couple of hours, Mike showed up, diagnosed the problem as a split washing machine hose, replaced it, installed a couple of shutoff valves to help me in the future, and was on his way within an hour.
To say that I was pleased would be an understatement. This is the kind of plumbing service I've always hoped I'd find. I'm so happy I finally have!

Great work and fairly priced. They got out to me next day. Sam gave me honest advice about my water heater and fixed all my issues. Will do business with them again and would recommend to anyone in their service area.

Frank has done an excellent job in my house. My water heater started a bad leak. I called several places, he was the only one who responded right away (no answering service). He was in my house in 15 minutes to check out the situation. The job was completed neatly and professionally, in about three hours (including a warehouse run). The price was more then fair, right down the middle of the already low estimated range. I would call him again in a heartbeat.

I sent out an urgent request to a number of plumbing companies on Yelp in the area. Renato was the first to respond and showed up exactly on time at 8:15 AM. As our toilet was backing up without an apparent clog, he attempted to snake the toilet before checking out the basement and discovering a much more serious problem that way beyond his company's ability. He recommended another company in the area and left with a smile and free of charge. If I had another household plumbing need, Bushi would be the first company I'd call.

I have never in my life met a team so passionate at their job. We needed a water heater replaced in our house as well as some other areas issues looked at/fixed. Once we called Landmark we were completely taken care of. We were met at the house and provided options that ranged in prices (with no upset pressure), they educated us on current requirements for venting (3 duct to a now required 4 duct), as well as provided us some good insights into how the water system works in general. Clearly knowledgeable. The quote they provided was never exceeded and we were provided options when looking at water heaters. We chose the one we wanted and before you knew it the team was at the house, early on a beautiful Saturday morning ready and eager to get to work. The work was done beautifully. Not only did we have a new water heater installed (which looks darn good I must say), they installed the new venting ducts as well as shored up ALL the pipes in the basement (something they certainly did not need to do): insulated this one, clamped down that one, checked the water pressure here and removed excess pipes there. A dream team.

Had the pleasure of having Ron come out and replace the shut offs on my washing machine. He was on time, courteous, used Covid precautions and was very professional . He was able to come by the very day I called them and was very reasonable with his pricing.
I would definitely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Thrilled with their service - the men who came to install my tankless water heater were so wonderful. They did a great job, less than competitors, cleaned up, conscientious, and loved my dog. 5 gold stars!

I put out the word here in Yelp! that our hot water heater needed a look-see.
Andrew responded very quickly. When I asked him about his availability, he said, I can do 8:30 tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Um, yeah!
He and his assistant were here on time. They installed a new water heater that works beautifully in under 2 hours. Very reasonable with the price. What's fantastic is he gace me an all-inclusive price. No gotchas, if you know what I mean.
I'm definitely looking forward to working with him again. And the three other units in our building all had the same water heater as we did and were installed the same day as ours back in 2014.
Guess who I'm sending them to? Andrew!!

Had a problem with upstairs toilet. Called 4 people, couldn't get anyone here within a week. Call Mass Plumbing and Heating, Welter came within 3 hours. Welter was respectful of current Covid issues, he was efficient, cleaned everything up, and in general...a nice guy to have working in the house. Highly recommend! Barbara C.

We had a major leak in our condo. It was so bad part of the ceiling in the unit below collapsed. I had never used T-Flow before but gave them a try based on the good reviews they have. I contacted Matt and he was able to fit me into his schedule. The job ended up being much larger then anticipated and they needed to come back the next day to finish. Matt was great with communication and was very helpful with fitting me into his busy schedule. I will definitely be using them again.

Mike Richard has done outstanding work at our home over the past 8 years. He works so efficiently he actually jogs to his truck and back to get any needed supplies. Mike is always timely and communicates about any issues that he finds, offering various solutions. Most recently, he put me in touch with other contractors that have also done superb work.

They came on time, worked quickly and efficiently and got the job done the first time. I would highly recommend them!
15 Agawam Rd, Quincy, MA 02169
Very happy with these guys. The owner, Leo, was quick in getting back to me this fateful morning, when we found the basement flooded with raw sewage--on a Sunday, of course. Communication was excellent: he told me he'd have somebody to my house in 2-3 hours. When some other emergency called his technician away, Leo called back immediately to let me know but told me I'd be the next priority, and I was.
They're not the cheapest, but I decided to go with them because I was worried about the age of my sewer pipe (my house is over 100 years old), and Z Plumberz is one of the few companies that have the latest technology to deal with old, damaged pipes.
When looking for help, I had read a horror story told in a review on another local plumber who damaged a sewer pipe while snaking it. Their insurance company refused to pay. The bad plumber apparently hadn't used a camera to assess the condition of the pipe to ascertain whether it was already damaged. So sue me, he told the person, who had to spend $10K on repairs.
I shared my concerns about that with Leo at Z Plumberz, and he told me that they wouldn't snake without first using the camera to make sure the pipes were in good enough condition. What if they aren't? I asked him. He told me that his company has a way out of that problem: they use what's called trenchless sewer line repair, which is utterly awesome: it's a repair method that allows plumbers to repair your pipes underground, negating the need to dig out an entire trench. Absolutely do google that term - trenchless sewer pipe repair - if you have sewer pipe issues in an old house. Do be careful, though: one drain expert told us that a crooked plumber out of Saugus has been offering this type of service (it's pretty newfangled, and only about 3 plumbers in the area offer it, we were told) but was charging people the cost of photographing their pipes, claiming to show them images of clear pipes, but in actuality those were old photos of somebody else's pipes and hadn't done the work at all. He was convicted, we were told, but he's used 3 different business names, all based out of Saugus (sorry, legitimate Saugus plumbing/sewer pros!), so it wouldn't be surprising if he popped up again doing the same thing.
At any rate, my situation wasn't that dire. The problem wasn't with the pipe outside the house. Rather, My tenants or somebody else had flushed wipes - that horribly common cause of drain blockage. They got stuck in the drain trap, and the drain backed up. It was straightforward to fix, took an hour, and the cost was $290.
The technician who came - I think his name was Auden, perhaps - was equally professional as Leo, communicated really well, and was very informative. He did a lovely job cleaning up with his shop vac, though of course we had to get down there with a whole lot of bleach afterward, so that was our Sunday.
I'd highly recommend Z Plumberz. I would have also been happy with John's Sewer, I think. They sent somebody in a really timely manner to suss out the situation, and he was great. The only reason I chose Z Plumberz was because of their ability to do trenchless repair if needed: a technology that even the John's Sewer tech said was cutting edge and top-notch.

Jen and Jonathan at Green Energy Mechanical were great to work with. After getting several (5) different quotes, Jonathan clearly stood out. He spent 45 minutes with us for a walk through, clearly explaining everything they would do. The price was competitive and the level of service was great. Both he and Jen were easy to communicate with if we had any questions or issues and we are extremely happy with the end result.
We contracted Green Energy for the installation of a new ac system and a conversion of an old steam radiator to forced hot air.
I would highly recommend them.

I had a flood from my AC unit. MacCO had serviced my unit for several years and then found out they did not actually service my unit- which resulted in permanent damage and a cracked drain pan. The flood seeped through my wall and into the hall and damaged my hardwood floors. When I called them, they were rude and unpleasant. Probably because I am a female. When I asked the person they sent out, what should I do, the reply was not my problem, they were not help at all. I had two other companies look at my unit, they both said same thing. When MacCo replaced the coil, the person just dropped it in, never secured it, which resulted in the drain pan cracking and the resulting flood. I have since spoken with other people in my building, they all say the same things - MacCo service people are rude and do not care and take advantage of people who do not understand their AC systems.

I was utterly shocked by the way I was treated by a representative of this plumbing company. Our landlord set up a service call with them, and the experience I had with them was so surreal, I almost didn't believe it could have happened. A man driving an ad-wrapped sedan (who my landlord later identified as the OWNER of the company) arrived at my door this morning. He wasn't wearing any kind of indentification, and his car didn't say anything about plumbing - the ads were for a realty group. I smiled and opened the door and said, hello, how can I help you? He didn't identify himself or greet me in any semblance of professional courtesy. Instead he basically pushed his way past me through our door, then stopped at the open bathroom door and brusquely asked, Why am I here? I was already flustered by his manner, so I haltingly tried to explain that the issue is above the rotted ceiling panel. He didn't let me finish. Just said, I don't have a ladder, and then as I tried to respond that our landlords upstairs have one, he interrupted to say incredulously, I don't have time for this. I'm not dealing with you people. He pushed his way out and as he went, he told me that the real reason he was leaving was that I had offended him. And how, you wonder? Because I put a note on our bell which said (verbatim) Plumbers: Please don't ring the bell. Knock lightly. (Baby is asleep). Thank you!!!!!! He yelled at me from his car that if I didn't want to turn off the plumber, my note shouldn't have had an 'S' - it's plumber singular, not plumbers with an 's'. I was so confused by the encounter that I didn't even realize he was serious. But apparently I had somehow broken a cardinal rule of etiquette in his book and deserved nothing but his utter contempt. I wouldn't believe my experience if I hadn't been the one it just happened to. Suffice to say I called our landlord and let him know what had just gone down and he promised that he would never call the company again and also let his other friends who are homeowners know to do the same. Regardless of what quality of work this company may or may not do, the unbelievably unprofessional and downright mean actions of their owner speaks volumes about who they really are and how much they deserve future business.
