# Bartel's Plumbing & Heating

**Trade:** Plumbing · **Address:** 160 Owl Pond Rd, Brewster, MA 02631 · **Phone:** (508) 240-1250 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.5/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 3 sources.

## The honest read

Bartel's Plumbing & Heating works out of Brewster, serving Cape Cod homeowners with the kind of plumbing work that turns into a standing relationship rather than a single visit.

The two written reviews on Google both describe long stretches of steady work rather than one job. A Harwich customer calls Richard Bartels prompt, skilled, honest and reasonably priced, and says she's relied on him for 35 years. In a 2022 review, another family says Bartel has been their plumber for over a decade, coming out each year to fix a dad's outdoor shower pipe that keeps splitting. Google shows a 4.3-star average from 6 ratings overall, though only these two write-ups are retrievable.

Nothing else turned up on BBB, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Houzz, Reddit or in local news. Anyone calling for the first time should ask about current scheduling and pricing directly, since what's here speaks to years of trust with existing customers rather than a recent, detailed job.

**Strengths:**
- Decades-long customers — one cites 35 years of service
- Repeat family service — fixed a recurring pipe issue for 10+ years
