3R Plumbing and Mechanical

In September 2026 a customer wrote that Nick spent a lot of time assessing their AC and heating and explained it thoroughly. That is what 3R Plumbing and Mechanical's customers keep writing about — someone who walks them through the problem before anything gets taken apart. A June 2026 reviewer said Ross outlined their options in advance in a way that was easy to understand; another described a stressful plumbing issue that got diagnosed quickly, with the choices explained before the work began. The company works out of Norwell and says it was founded in 2022 by Ross Hunt, a U.S. Army veteran and Massachusetts Master Plumber, after years in the trades. By its own account it is veteran-owned and covers fifteen South Shore towns, from Quincy and Weymouth down through Hingham, Scituate and Marshfield to Plymouth. Plumbing is the front door, but heating and cooling is a real second line: Angi and HomeAdvisor both list central A/C installation and service and heat-pump replacement, and the company's site cites Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor and Navien certifications and participation in Mass Save's HPIN program. The written history runs from 2025 into 2026 across four platforms — 5 stars from 8 Google ratings, 5.0 on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, and 4.8 from 103 ratings on Thumbtack. What customers describe are ordinary house calls handled without drama. A June 2026 homeowner with a small kitchen-sink leak said the appointment was made right away with a text confirmation, and that Kaio and Mitch arrived on time, went out for a replacement part and returned promptly to install it. Another June 2026 reviewer credited Ross with limiting the damage in their basement on short notice, then staying in touch in the days that followed. In August 2026 a customer called Franco pleasant and knowledgeable and said they would call 3R again. Several reviewers mention the same small thing: the work area left clean when the crew finished. One thing to settle before booking. On the state registry, the Massachusetts plumber licence of record for 3R Plumbing and Mechanical — number 4900-PL-C — is expired. Separately, the company's site cites Master Plumber licence PL17071-M for Ross Hunt, and Angi, HomeAdvisor and BuildZoom each list home improvement contractor registration #214408 for the business. Ask for the current plumbing licence number before work starts, and expect to see it on any permit pulled for the job. For everyday South Shore plumbing and for a heating or AC call where you want the problem laid out plainly first, 3R is a sensible shortlist pick, and the site offers free estimates so the visit costs nothing. Get the plumbing licence confirmed as current, and if you are after a Mass Save heat-pump rebate, ask them to confirm their HPIN standing in writing before scheduling.
