Cabral Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is a three-person plumbing and heating company based in Topsfield, run by its president, Robert Cabral. The Better Business Bureau records the business as started in June 2005 and incorporated in November 2008, and lists two addresses — the Topsfield base and a Medford PO box. Google shows a 4.6-star average across five ratings, and three written reviews are on file, all from early 2026. They are short but concrete. A February 2026 reviewer described a water heater that failed in the middle of the night: Cabral was on site within two hours of the call and had the old unit drained, removed and replaced by two that afternoon. Another February 2026 reviewer had a propane conversion kit fitted to a new kitchen stove and said Robert Cabral adjusted each burner to confirm it worked as designed. A January 2026 reviewer described professional, friendly service at reasonable prices, and two of the three mention price without complaint. The Better Business Bureau grades the business A+, on a file the BBB states is explicitly not accredited — those are two separate facts, and the grade is not a certification the company bought. What the record does not yet show is depth: five ratings and three reviews, all inside one year, for a business the BBB dates to 2005. That is enough to show a responsive owner-operator who turns up for emergencies and charges fairly, and not enough to show how the company handles a large or multi-day job. For a Topsfield, Middleton or Boxford homeowner needing a water heater, a gas appliance hookup or a same-day plumbing failure handled by the owner himself, this is a reasonable call. Confirm current Massachusetts plumbing licensure and insurance with the state before booking, and get the price in writing for anything larger than a service call.
Robert Cabral, Did an Excellent job installing propane conversion kit to my new kitchen stove. He made adjustments to burners making sure all worked as designed. He is professional as well as sociable and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.
Knowledgeable, prompt and excellent service. Water heater failed in the middle of the night. Visited within 2 hrs. of our call to access the situation. Drained, removed and replaced the unit by 2pm that day. Couldn't ask for more...
Very professional and friendly service at reasonable prices.
