Beachside Plumbing & HVAC says it serves Wells, Sanford, Arundel, Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Alfred and Ogunquit. A customer said Sheldon came the day they called to diagnose a water heater problem and returned the next morning to replace it. A customer with a leaking shower head said he removed and replaced the more than 40-year-old fixture and cleaned up with his own vacuum. A customer said Sheldon arrived within about an hour after a failed attempt to rebuild shower valves turned a small leak into a large one, and took care of the problem after his workday had ended. The customer describing that shower valve leak said Sheldon later diagnosed a separate shower problem over the phone, walked them through the repair and texted a couple of days later to check that it went well. A customer with water gushing from under the kitchen sink said Sheldon diagnosed and fixed the issue within a few hours, and considered the price reasonable. A customer at a seasonal cottage in Wells said Sheldon replaced a broken water heater, ran a gas line to a new stove and connected a shower to the septic system. A customer said Sheldon replaced first-floor plumbing after a beach cottage flooded and the structure was lifted, completed the jobs on time and on budget, and fitted visits into the schedule when needed. A customer in Wells said Sheldon installed an outdoor shower, explained the options and used FaceTime when the customer could not be on site; the installation was ready before a large gathering at the house. A customer said Sheldon called back within minutes and rearranged outdoor faucet plumbing that had been connected to the filtered side of a water softener. A customer said Sheldon had repaired an air conditioner several times using hard-to-find parts, avoiding a costly replacement. A customer who hired him for a smaller residential project said he followed up after completion to check that the shower was working properly after the children used it.

Had to have my shower head replaced as it sprung a leak. Sheldon came to the rescue and was able to get the 40+ year old shower head out and replaced and was so wonderful. He even cleaned up the mess with his own vacuum. Definitely use him again.
Sheldon got back to me quickly after I sent out an inquiry, and even checked in the next day to make sure everything was running smoothly. He really went the extra mile and was refreshingly honest on what is worth it and what isn’t in terms of hvac and plumbing related home improvements. Alleviated a lot of anxiety!
They're knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and they care about their work. I highly recommend.
So awesome! We were at a loss with our water heater and Sheldon was highly recommended. He made time out of his busy day to come and assess the situation, this was only one day after our call! He and his son came out only two days later and fixed it. We were used to waiting weeks with the runaround of no call backs, waiting for parts etc. We were happy to find that great service still exists. Also they were so kind, chatting with me and explaining things, it almost felt like just having a friend over that knows how to fix things. My dog also loved them! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will call them again!
Sheldon replaced our water heater. He came the same day we called to diagnose the problem and came the next morning to replace the water heater. He did a great job and was very polite and professional, I highly recommend him.
