Best Toilet Repair in Boston MA
I appreciate that they picked up the phone and gave a quick follow up call. Not impressed with the quote.
I knew what needed to be done and have the skills to do it but was looking to avoid the hassle. Big Blue quoted $380 for the part number and 3 hours labor at $110/hr to install, plus apparently another 20% part mark-up for a total quote of $780. It really was a 1 hour job for a pro and the part is widely available online for $200 flat. They were polite but said sorry $380 is what our local supplier charges and who knows maybe we'll finish early. I guess a fair $110/hr isn't enough. Anyway, bought the part for $220 next day air delivery and did the job myself in 2 hours.
Conclusion: I'm in the wrong line of work.

Angel came to the rescue and replaced our failed water heater in less than 24hrs. Quality of work was excellent and price was fair. While he was there he took care of a few other issues that needed to be addressed at no extra charge. Reliable and responsive. I Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.

Absolutely, hands down the best plumber and one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. Jodie, office manager, is on top of everything. Every phone call is returned promptly. I manage a large museum-lots of plumbing-and Consolidated Plumbing has been a pleasure to work with. And I've been working with them for years. Never a disappointment. Can't say enough nice things about this company.

Could not be happier with the level of professionalism and price point. On top of that, Mike was able to come the day we called. Stumbled upon them via yelp desperately looking for help and as new home owners have definitely found who we will be using for all future issues.

Mike, has done a number of jobs for us over the last year. Excellent communication and top notch plumbing. Highly recommended.

I called for service for my toilet. It was running constantly. Two men showed up and walked into bathroom said oh that's easy it was a ring that seals the the plunger. He said I have one right in the truck. It cost like $3 no biggie. They were there for 5 mins total! That is the complete truth 5 min. I ask about the bill and he says oh they will send it to you. When I got the bill it was for $198.00. I couldn't believe it, must be a mistake. No that is what they charge! So, I called and spoke to the rudest woman in the world! She says well it's $150 just for the consult. I said I was never informed about that. She said well yep that's what it costs. I asked to speak to someone else. She said that would be the owner and you are definitely not talking to him. I am a single mom and I work just like everyone else. I do not have $200 laying around for what was a ridiculously 2 second fix of my toilet! I do not recommend this company. They are rude and unprofessional and most of all thieves!

Our commercial series kitchen sink faucet ruptured a hose and was inoperable at a time we had company staying with us over the holiday season. Not only did Andrew come out quickly, but was he prepared, professional, and helped us both through the process of getting up and running temporarily, and getting a replacement for the product (which was under warranty but discontinued). Highly recommended.

Fantastic service and PRICING! Came right out and took care of our shower in short time for short money.

I can't say enough good words for Frank. I have a complicated toilet problem as a result of poor installation done by a very incompetent and dishonest plumber. I suffered through two expensive plumbing companies trying to fix it and nothing was fixed. Then I found Frank through Google review. He showed great competence and abundant experience, he avoided any unnecessary procedure proposed by prior plumbers, which are very expensive. He got it done in two hours. And the amount he charged is minimum for this project. I found a very minor issue second day, he arrived in twenty minutes, straight it out and didn't charge me anything for the second visit. Now my problem is fixed done and done. Frank is the best!

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.

Just like most homeowners, when you need I plumber it's almost always at short notice and wIth a sense of urgency. This week we noticed that one of our heating pipes in the basement looked compromised and wasn't going to last much longer in its current condition. We called Casper Plumbing as a new customer and got our problem fixed that same day. Pat was extremely polite, professional and very reasonably priced. We will use him in the future for all of our plumbing needs whether they are planned or of and emergent nature.

Main Stream is very helpful, answers all my questions, and accommodates my work schedule for service and maintenance.

We've used T-Flow three times now (for a water heater replacement, a leaking cast iron drain section for a 2nd floor bathroom in a multi-family unit and to clear a slow draining sink in a 1st floor bathroom). In every case, they have done an exceptional job and I can highly recommend them. Since the first job, Matt has always been very quick to respond and arrange his people to come out. And during the last job, we had only 1 day to replace the cast iron drain section (due to the tenant being out for just a day) and they stayed to almost 8pm and got it done - without even stopping for a lunch break. On top of that, they cut into the plaster walls very neatly so they could be patched easily and spread drop cloths and vacuumed everything up so the tenant's belongings were not affected at all. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Needed a water heater for an apartment building. His crew showed up on time and suggested a better water heater for a slightly higher cost guaranteed five years longer. He took the old one away.

Updated: Leo and team reached out and made things right in terms of the extra pump, offering a refund.

THE WORST COMPANY EVER! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
On a Saturday, we experienced problems with our water heater, and we called the company to fix the issue. Plumber JOSEPH HERSEY arrived. He was very unhappy and complained that he had to work on a Saturday and kept throwing the F word and S word in every sentence that came out of his mouth.
Upon looking at the water heater, he said only one piece was broken and that he could fix it. After another 10 minutes, he said that he could no longer fix the heater and that we needed to buy a new water heater. When we asked him how much it would cost, he said he didn't know. Then he got out and came back with the new heater. We asked again how much the heater would cost, and again, he said he didn't know. After installation, he asked us to pay a whooping $2000!!! When we asked him why it would cost this much, he said, $2000 includes extra labor cost because he's working on a Saturday.
When we asked him more questions, he got angry. JOSEPH HERSEY POUNDED OUR KITCHEN TABLES LOUDLY AND KEPT SWEARING USING THE F AND S WORDS. HE THREATENED US TO PAY HIM. We then called Crescent management and asked them to give us a breakdown of the cost. The manager sounded very annoyed and didn't want to give us any information. She was rude on the phone and was yelling at us and again threatened us to pay!
We called Home Depot and asked about the water heater and the installation price. They quoted us $800 heater plus labor. Joseph also mentioned it's an ignition problem. In retrospect, we think it's very likely that we didn't need to replace the water heater. Joseph and Crescent Plumbing took advantage of our situation and just wanted to us to pay for extra.
So please, stay away from this company! Crescent Plumbing will send rude plumbers who will threaten you and cheat money out of you!!!
