Blue Owl Plumbing reports 30 years in business and lists a service area running from Marlborough, Hudson and Southborough to Worcester, Holden, Princeton and Rutland. A chamber of commerce listing describes it as a local family owned and operated plumbing service business for plumbing, heating and drain cleaning. In a recent review, a customer whose kitchen sink hot water would not shut off on a Sunday night got a call back first thing the next morning and a plumber at the house within 2 hours; the plumber offered to upgrade 40+ year old piping in one area, and three months later the customer wrote that all repairs were working with no leaks and that the estimate matched the final bill. Another recent review describes Tony fixing a leaking pipe on the 2nd floor during a weekend emergency, after the customer had called over 10 plumbing companies. In a recent review, Tony, Seth and Joshua fixed a leaking shower, installing a new up to code mixing valve, and a leaking water main, and laid out options, risks and detailed quotes. In a 2023 review, Tony found that a water heater's problem was faulty electric outside the heater, after other companies had quoted full or part replacement. A 2023 review also says Blue Owl was up-front about the service-call fee and that the repair is backed by a 2-year warranty. In a 2022 review, Tony contacted a gas fireplace's manufacturer to confirm the diagnosis and part numbers before installing the parts. In a 2021 review, Tony rebuilt a shower fixture for about half the cost of replacing everything. In a 2024 review, a former regular customer wrote that Blue Owl quoted $1800 to replace a shower valve while two other local plumbers quoted $865 and $550 for the same job, objected to the fee for showing up, and advised getting multiple estimates when the job is not an emergency.

I was in a jam. The hot water in the kitchen sink would not shut off and was streaming (not a drizzle). I had to shut the hot off to the entire house. It was a weekend. I had lost touch with -plumbers I had used in the past... Who to call? Who to trust? I did a quick search and found Blue Owl. I remembered seeing their service van at a neighbor's in recent months - a neighbor whose opinion I trusted. I gave them a call & left a msg about my situation (non-working hours on a Sunday night). Got a call back first thing next morning. Plumber was at my house w/in 2 hours. First one person. Pleasant, friendly, explained how they work & charge. Took a look. Made a plan to fix. Asked if I wanted to upgrade 40+ yr old piping in certain area. I said yes. We picked out a new faucet assembly for the kitchen sink. I purchased that. Plumber checked other areas of the house (bathroom, basement) while we waited for an apprentice to arrive. The apprentice was equally as pleasant and informative. I like to ask questions because I'm one of those "how does it work" kinda people. I'm not testing the pros cuz' I have no knowledge; I'm just naturally curious. The point is, both Blue Owl reps were kind and patient and answered my questions as they worked. I wanted to give them a 5 star rating right away. I was on a natural high to be "made whole" again. However, I decided to wait to see if the "fixes" stuck. Well, 3 months have passed and all repairs are working as they should and I have no leaks. I appreciate Blue Owl for: - their responsiveness - kindness - clear explanations of the work involved and cost to 1) fix the faucet and hot water, 2) fix those and do next level plumbing, and 3) replace most of everything. I liked having options. I liked understanding the cost and time for each. - cleanliness - professional behavior - pricing transparency - estimate matched final bill - quality of work Based on this one experience, I would call Blue Owl again and I highly recommend Blue Owl to you.
Amazing company!! I had a plumbing emergency during a weekend that needed to be fixed. After calling over 10 different plumbing companies Blue owl was the only one that answered my call and accepted the job. Caitlin was incredibly helpful through the entire process, and sent a technician out right away! Tony showed up and was professional and incredibly friendly! He fixed the issue (leaking pipe on the 2nd floor) quickly and did an amazing job. He explained everything he was doing throughout the entire job, and I couldn’t have asked for a better technician to fix my problem. I can’t say enough great things about Blue Owl, especially Tony the technician! I will forever be a client of Blue Owl!
Customer as of June 2026, Josh and Seth with Blue Owl helped my family and I out with a sump-pump upgrade. Their attention to detail before, during and after the job was impeccable. The transparency around the entire job was always open and clear. The pair worked quickly, cleanly and professionally. We highly recommend BO for your plumbing and heating issues. Will call for future work, thank you so much for an awesome experience.
I had a blown water heater last year, and Josh & team were fast, professional, and detailed throughout. I always understood my options and price. Highly recommend
Great experience! Caleb and Joshua are very knowledgeable, polite, and kind. They did excellent work on a variety of issues, including a major kitchen sink block, maintenance of our on demand water heater, leaky pipes, and poorly-installed toilets. They are also great teachers, and I learned so much about what to look for in the future. Thank you!
