Capeway Plumbing & Heating is a Plymouth shop that's clearly built a following on Cape Cod and the South Shore — Google shows 4.7★ across 12 ratings, and the written reviews back it with real detail rather than just star counts. The through-line across almost a dozen reviews is speed without corner-cutting. One customer whose water heater "kicked the bucket" had a new one installed the very next day; another's basement flooded from a burst pipe and the crew showed up within a few days when, in their words, "other companies usually take a lot longer." A homeowner building an ADU on the outer Cape described calling five other plumbers with no serious response before Capeway came out the next day, agreed on a price, and had a crew doing the rough-in the day after — with no billing surprises and no demand for money upfront. Techs are named repeatedly by first name across different jobs — Will, Caleb and Chase, John — suggesting a team rather than a one-person operation, each getting individual praise for explaining the work and cleaning up after. Specific jobs keep showing up in the reviews: a tankless water heater install with "excellent communication throughout," a broken hot water tank the crew triaged by phone while busy with another customer, and a dryer vent with three separate leaks fully diagnosed and fixed in one visit. Fair pricing comes up unprompted more than once. The one sour note, in a review from October 2023, describes workers as "extremely rude" and disrespectful of the customer's belongings — a real complaint, though an outlier against a run of detailed, specific praise both before and after it. Anyone hiring for anything from a burst pipe to a plumbing setup for new construction on the outer Cape should find this a solid call, with the 2023 review worth keeping in mind as the one blemish on an otherwise consistent record.

We had a great experience with Capeway Plumbing! They installed our tankless hot water heater and did a terrific job. They were on time, competitively priced and had excellent communication throughout the process. We’ve also reached out to them since for smaller issues (including some user error on our end), and they were quite helpful explaining what we did wrong and how to fix it. Highly recommend Capeway Plumbing for both big and small jobs.
Excellent customer service and communication. I’m so glad to have found my new plumber and I highly recommend Will for your plumbing needs.
Quick response, friendly and hard workers. We had an old hot water tank that broke and made a mess on the floor with leaking water. When we called this company, they were working on other customers but still told us to shut off the gas and water to connect to the broken tank. Soon after Will finished that customer he came to our house and cleaned up the mess. We got a new hot water system within 2 days. We are lucky to find this company.
My husband (a retired builder) needed a plumber on the outer cape for our new ADU. He contacted a past sub, and five others but no serious response. He called three off cape companies and Capeway Plumbing came out the next day, looked at the job, we agreed on a price and the following day a crew was out doing the rough in. The work is well done, the techs are very competent and seem to have a good work ethic. We did not have any billing surprises and we appreciated the fact that they wanted to get a good start before asking for upfront money. If your project is on the lower cape, do not hesitate to give them a call, they just might surprise you. ,
The personnel at Capeway were very professional and the quality of their work was excellent. They were also very prompt.
