Angel replaced the water meter in my basement. He came on time, gave an estimate during the first visit, showed up on time for the next appointment to replace the water meter, pulled the permit in a timely manner for inspection. He is very professional and offers reasonable/competitive pricing. He also wore a mask all the time and offered free advice on the maintenance of my water heater. I will definitely hire him again and will recommend him to my friends.

I can't say enough about these guys. I had a broken garbage disposal and running toilet. After getting stiffed by another plumber closer to my house, I called Consolidated on a Friday afternoon. They immediately sent someone over and it was fixed within the hour. Incredibly responsive and professional. Love these guys.

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.

It's not often that I feel compelled to post a review on Yelp. Frank has earned and deserves my positive review. Here's my story ...
My 89 year old parents live in a house that has very old plumbing. After other plumbing companies told them that their bath fixtures and pipes could not be repaired and they would need all new plumbing because the parts did not exist, I searched further and found Frank Formica plumbing on the internet. I called him and he resonded immediately and went to my parents home that same day.
He approached the job as a 'repair' and found the necessary parts from plumbing suppliers (same day!) and made their sink and shower as good as new.
Frank saved my parents over $1,800 by repairing the leaks vs. installing new fixtures, pipes, and sink and cabinet.
Frank, if you read this, I pass along my gracious thanks and appreciation for choosing to not rip apart my parent's bath because it would have been disruptive and uneccesary. I also want to thank you for your patience with my Dad's lack of hearing and confusion and my Mom's never-ending questions! If you can please my Mom, you are a saint. REALLY!
I will gladly chat with anyone who would like more information about my experience.

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.

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.

Ever since Baker-Elman Plumbing joined with Accurate Heating (they are now called Accurate Baker Elman) they have devolved enough to lose me as a customer. When my dishwasher started leaking I called them to find out how much it would cost to look at. I was quoted $175. The plumber came, looked under the dishwasher and also looked up at the pipes from the basement. Total time spend was about 15 minutes. He told me we needed to replace the dishwasher. Fair enough. Then he asked for payment of $275! I told him I was quoted $175. He said he couldn't leave without getting paid $275, and that the extra $100 was for driving to my house--which is in the middle of Newton! The very reason I originally got a quote in advance was to avoid hidden charges. He said he understood why I was unhappy, but that I should complain to the office -- his job was to collect that payment. I complained to the office, and they eventually agreed to reimburse the unexpected (and unwarranted) $100 charge after I told them that I would write a bad review about my experience if they didn't. I'm still waiting for that reimbursement several months later. Hence this review.

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.

We had an ongoing leak from our second floor bathroom through the ceiling on the first floor. I appreciated that Welter communicated about what he would do to diagnose the problem, to appropriately set the expectations of the work. During the process, at each turn he would take the time to explain what he had done, what he had found and what he recommended for a resolution. I was very happy with the work he did and for the recommendations he provided. While I certainly do not want any plumbing problems in the future, I would look to hire Welter, again, to get them resolved.

we had an oil burner service company for 20 years and the owner retired a few years ago. we thought we would never find that level of service again. we decided to convert to natural gas, and we used mainstream mechanical. we also installed a whole house generator. these guys do great work, are professional, and know their stuff! we are always assured that no matter what time of the year, day or night, if we have a problem they are there! we highly recommend mainstream.

My tenants developed a leak in their kitchen sink. An acquaintance recommended T-Flow, and I left them a message. It took about a day for them to get back to me, and they were able to schedule a visit a couple of days later. When they examined the sink, they determined that they needed to replace the faucet & hose; they offered the option of having me by the new faucet, or them doing it. I had them do it, despite the increased cost, because I didn't trust my ability to find an item that fit both the sink and the D/W hook up. They fixed the leak, but my tenants didn't test the connection with the D/W, and when they next ran the D/W it leaked.
I contacted T-Flow. They came by the next day and fixed the problem at no additional charge, not even for the adapter they provided. I appreciate workers that make sure their work is up to grade no matter what, and intend to use T-Flow in the future.

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.

We hired Casper Plumbing and Heating to replace an old water heater. They got back to me quickly with a quote, and on the day of the installation, got the new heater up and running in about an hour. Great service from a local small business.

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.

Our old central air unit was not working and my husband gave Green Energy a call and they arrived on time on the day we had scheduled. Because we don't plan to be in our home long term we were looking for an inexpensive fix rather than replace the entire unit. Matt was super understanding and offered us with reasonable priced options. He was able to repair our unit at 1/5 of the cost of what we anticipated and he fixed it that day. We highly recommend Green Energy! We will go no where else for ongoing maintenance and repair of our central air.

Two years ago my water heater was leaking. Their sticker was on my water heater, so i called Crescent. The plumber and I discussed my oversized water heater and how it would need a new overflow valve to fix the drip. Since it was close to the end of its warrantee, I decided to replace it instead of just the rather expensive part.
Since I'm disabled, I didn't go down to the basement to make sure all went well, but, since I had hot water, all seemed well. Until...
...my water heater died. Except that it was my old water heater, not the new one I had expected. I live in a two-condo building, with both water heaters side by side in the other condo's space. Somehow, despite our talking at length about replacing *my* water heater, they replaced the one for the other unit. Which, of course, I had paid for.
When I brought it to their attention, I got various excuses which escalated into downright nastiness. After talking to other plumbing companies about what happened (and replacing my heater), they were unanimous in telling me never to use Crescent, and that the nastiness was typical. If called in for something else, Crescent also slaps their sticker on water heaters in the hopes that someone will assume they installed it.
If I could give them a zero, I would. A decent company would, at the very least, have offered to replace my water heater at cost. Instead I got abuse.
