Verified record
Local coverage in Martha’s Vineyard Magazine describes A P Fortes Plumbing & Heating as a trusted provider of plumbing and heating services. The company is based in Vineyard Haven. BuildZoom also lists sheet metal, mechanical and HVAC work. A customer writing on BuildZoom in April 2018 described a different experience: Allan had initially been reliable and on time, but later promised visits were delayed for weeks. The customer said a promised visit by another worker never happened. That complaint concerned pipe work. The Massachusetts registry verified the company’s plumbing licence 2762-PL-C as expired in August 2026. Google’s August 2026 listing showed five stars from three ratings, while the April 2018 BuildZoom reviewer gave one star.
