Bayside Plumbing & Heating has built a strong, detailed review record on Cape Cod — a 4.6-star Google average from 19 ratings, with a dozen written reviews from 2022 through 2026 that are overwhelmingly five stars and unusually specific. Reviewers repeatedly describe the Orleans-based company, run by owner Francois Paravisini since 2005, as responsive and honest: one reviewer recounts Bayside overcoming a blizzard-related parts shortage by driving to a remote location to personally pick up a repair part, after another company had failed twice to fix the same heating problem. Another describes the company recommending a simple washer/dryer hookup solution after several other plumbers had wrongly said the only option was raising the house to add a basement. Multiple reviewers mention the office staff by name, including Shannon, for compassionate, honest scheduling during busy stretches — one review describes the team being upfront about being swamped while a customer had a pregnant spouse at home during a heat wave. Billing issues do come up occasionally, but the company's response is part of the story: a 2025 reviewer describes some initial confusion over a bill that Bayside resolved to their satisfaction, calling the company honest and willing to work with customers. A more recent 2026 review describes a more frustrating experience — confusion over a $1,000 mini-split cleaning charge and no record of the customer's prior contact in the company's system — worth asking about directly if scheduling mini-split service. The company holds a Massachusetts plumbing license verified active with the state, an active Massachusetts Minority Business Enterprise certification, DCAMM certification, and partners with Mass Save's Heat Pump Installer Network. It serves the Cape from Provincetown to Yarmouth, covering oil and gas boilers, furnaces, air conditioning, heat pumps, water heaters, water treatment, gas piping, and kitchen and bath plumbing. BBB carries the company at an A+ rating with no complaints on file. For plumbing, heating, or heat pump work on Cape Cod, Bayside's review record points to a genuinely trusted, well-regarded local company — the isolated billing confusion aside, it's one of the stronger accounts in its category.
$1,000 for cleaning mini splits!! 7/28/26, I walked into Bayside’s office by mistake. I was trying to book and prepay cleaning of my mini splits. I knew I was at this location, across from the Orleans transfer station. Bayside did not have any record of me in their computer. I knew I had the service done before. Baffled and shocked I left their office and when I saw the truck logo Kalinowski Mechanical in the parking lot, I remembered that is the company I was looking for. I called the number on the Kalinowski truck and they did in fact have me as their previous customer and their price was $450. I went back into Bayside five minutes later and asked to void that transaction. There is some serious price gauging going on at Bayside! They also charged me $20 in cash to cancel an appointment and to void the $1,000 charge. My credit card company does not charge to void a transaction within five minutes !!!
We have hired Bayside plumbing and heating from Orleans, MA for a variety of tasks, small and large. Make no mistake that this is a well-run company with well-trained, courteous employees-- each one seemingly a star in their own right. A company like this in our area is to be highly valued. They come well-equipped, and are real problem solvers. The recent installation of an AC heat pump unit was flawless. We are happy to say that we're grateful.
We’ve used Bayside for multiple projects at our Cape Cod property in Orleans — basement HVAC installation, heat pump repair after a lightning strike, diagnosing a propane furnace that wasn’t firing consistently, and recommending replacement of an end-of-life tankless water heater. What sets François apart is his systems thinking. He assesses a situation quickly, determines what existing infrastructure to keep and what to replace, and proposes a pragmatic solution. No overcomplication, no unnecessary upselling — just smart problem-solving. The crew are knowledgeable and friendly. Ideal local firm for plumbing and HVAC on the Cape.
Bayside keeps my quirky, old house in top form. If you own an older home, you know it's a never-ending story of this, that, and the other thing. They get the work done when they say they will, and the workmanship is really excellent. I am tremendously grateful to have Bayside to call when I need help.
These folks came out to our office and solved the heating problem another company had been unable to solve despite two failed attempts. Bayside overcame the hurdle of obtaining the unshipped repair part during the blizzard shutdowns, by driving to the remote location to pick it up for us. You can trust this team to go all out to solve your problems and always be kind and polite in the process.
