Best Toilet 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.

My diverter/volume spindle was broken for 3 days and I could not utilize my shower/bath tub. I do not know about but I like to keep my hygiene in tact. It is the day after Thanksgiving so I assumed that it would be a headache finding a plumber. I called the first plumber that I researched, Dynamic Plumbing & Heating. They answered the phone, thank goodness. I explained the problem and he gave me a price quote. The plumbers arrived in 35 minutes Ashe stated on the phone. They were professional, worked in a timely manner and were very customer service oriented. I am a satisfied customer. If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Dynamic Plumbing & Heating.

Consolidated Plumbing is top notch.  Mitch did a bathroom remodeling job for us with Doug Rausch as contractor several years ago.  They gutted our bathroom down to the studs and completely remodeled it.  Mitch's plumbing work was a work of art, and Doug's carpentry and tile work was excellent.  We had done a previous bathroom remodel with another company, and Consolidated was far superior.   We have made use of their plumbing services with Tommy since then, and we've been very happy with Tommy's work and Jodi's front office services.  Thank you Consolidated!!!

I've lived in my condo going on my third winter.  I have yet to have all those mechanical gizmos down in the basement looked at, checked out or whatever you're supposed to do to them.

I have had nightmares about getting a bad contractor - let's face it - there are more than a few bad contractors out there.  Ok so please don't crucify me here but I spent the money on a subscription to Angie's List and checked out plumbers/HVAC specialists.  Came across these guys who had good reviews that were recent.

I called them about setting up an appointment for service and got a call back from a nice guy.  We set up a time a few days later first thing in the morning.  

Bill from Hinchey came out and looked at everything I needed done or wanted quotes on.  He was extremely knowledgeable and personable and explained things well.  He looked at all those gizmos and ran some tests.  He gave me the lodown on my furnace - he needed some parts but didn't have them on his truck so he would have to come back on Monday.  Since my water heater was out of warranty by a few years and didn't look all that healthy I decided to also have him come back to replace the water heater the same day.  He actually suggested doing it the same day so he could bring an apprentice with him and have help carrying the water heater down into the basement without me paying for an extra guy to help him.

All in all they replaced the water heater with a larger model, they replaced several parts on my furnace after taking it apart and cleaning it and they were both here pretty much all day.  The job was done neatly and they cleaned up after themselves.

The price was competitive...for good work and warranteed.  I'm having them do more work so they'll be back.

Very fair pricing! I had a faucet that needed to be replaced but, bc of old Boston plumbing, I couldn't get it off myself. I dreaded paying someone else to do it, thinking it would cost me hundreds, but Andrew gave me a fair price. He was easy to work with and communicated well.

I had a nightmare situation with a toilet overflowing and flooding the place with sewage, on a friday evening. Chris and his team showed up quickly that evening and came back the next day to continue working on the problem till it was resolved. I highly recommend their services.

My neighbor recommended me Frank, because of very good work with reasonable price. Along these years I asked Frank to replace my water heater, garbage disposal, along with several everyday plumbing stuff. He has been responsive and a life saver. I just sold my house and I will definitely recommend Frank to the new owner.

Welter is the Man!  

I have an aging Buderus GB142 condensing boiler that has been having those old age boiler things happening. I had been using a local service with a monthly support agreement but recent experiences with under trained techs led me to search for someone more familiar with my boiler.
After having been quoted $4,900 to repair my boiler for error codes and inaccurate pressure readings from Company A, I contacted Welter and he came in and assessed a few problems. The issues were addressed efficiently, parts were replaced, connections were repaired the boiler was deemed ready for service and the total bill amounted to less than 20% of Company A.
Long story short, Welter is an experienced plumber, heating pro, with a positive attitude and excellent troubleshooting skills. Highly Recommend Welter for any heating / hot water issues.

Needed a gas range removed and installed.  Pat was amazing, totally transparent with everything and very quality work.

Decided to get proactive with our 20 year old American Standard furnace. Selected Main Stream Mechanical to do the install and couldn't be happier. Technicians were very knowledgeable and professional. Very well run company with great communication. Couldn't be happier.

Wow! I can't say enough about how great this company is! Tonight (7pm) I got home to find my Prestige TriangleTube Boiler had some problem with it and we had no hot water. My house is new construction and this is the first plumbing problem we've ever had, so I didn't even know who to call. So I ran down the google list and the first 3 I tried said they couldn't help. I guess it was nice of them not to come out and charge me for nothing, but it still left me with 3 dirty toddlers and no chance for a hot bath. Arghh!

Then I got a hold of Matt at T-Flow. He initially also said that it wouldn't be worth him coming out tonight because he would likely need technical support or parts that wouldn't be available overnight. We made an appointment for first thing in the morning and I was satisfied with that.

However, then he called back... multiple times! He was clearly looking into things because he kept calling back with another question. What's the model #? Does it look like this? Can you text me a picture so I can help you?

So after 30 minutes or so of back and forth texts, calls, and some trial-and-error, my hot water is fixed! No visit, no hourly rate, all just by phone. Amazing! I have never used this company before so he had no reason to help me. In fact, he jibbed himself out of the $175/hr I had already signed up to pay in 12 hours. However, he just got a lifelong commitment in return. I can't say enough. Awesome! Thanks Matt!

I called yesterday to ask about a plumbing job to connect an outdoor spigot to a water pipe in the basement. I spoke to Renato on the phone and he was clear and helpful and upfront about the price estimate for the work.

He sent over 2 technicians that day and they were able to get it done within 1 hour. It was definitely quick and efficient which we appreciated.

We will use them again for plumbing work!

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.

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.  

Quoting and invoicing is done through FreshBooks which makes the entire transaction paperless and easy.  Pricing was unbelievably fair for the work done.

These guys have not only earned our trust, but have earned lifelong customers as well as references.

My garbage disposal got clogged: the machine was working but the content of the disposal, ground, did not move through.  I disconnected the plumbing coming off the disposal and found that water that I inserted from above would came out easily.  Therefore, I thought there must have been a clogged pipe downstream, which was unaccessible to me.  I called MACCO and described what I just wrote here; they gave me an appointment for ONE WEEK later.  They also told  me that I would have to pay $ 320 minimum, regardless of how short or long the job was going to be.  When the plumber came he spent a good amount of time doing the same thing that I had done, and told me that he could not fix the problem and I needed a drain guy.  He even called his dispatcher (same person I had talked to, who confirmed that they do not do that type of work.  
I then called their office and said that I did not feel fair to charge me because they should have said right away that they could not do the job. The person on the phone just continued to repeat that I had accepted in advance to pay and that I had not told him that there was a clogged drain, which ridiculous because I knew that it was not a leak and that I had told him that I thought there was probably some obstruction downstream.  I even offered to meet in between with the charge because I understood the man who came had spent some work time, but there was no chance.  Eventually I paid.
I later called a drain company, they came the next day and in 15 minutes they got the job done, for $ 149.
I clearly will not use MACCO again and I would never recommend them to anyone, and I told them the same.

Response time was fantastic, and it was very easy to set up our appointment to get a new sink installed and a leaky toilet fixed.  Jim arrived not just on time, but a little bit early, and he worked diligently until the job was complete.  Friendly service, too.  Everything looks great, and we are very pleased with how it all turned out.  Would definitely recommend Pescatore Mechanical Contractors to others!

Mike did all of our plumbing for a bathroom renovation, and all of the work to install a new heating system.  I would highly recommend him.

I found these guys through Angie's list. They were responsive and came out and unclogged my shower drain when they said they would.
The only thing I had to chase them for was the bill, LOL! I reminded them to charge me last night and got the bill this morning. Their pricing seems very fair to me.
I will definitely call them next time I need a plumber!

Forgot to mention one detail.... regarding my last post of 3/21/17... I was able to get another plumber who easily replaced that old shut-off valve section  (that was left with goop)  without having to change the entire pipeline system!  And he fixed the boiler situation!  There are good people out there... you just have to look and compare.
