Casaletto and Sons Plumbing & Heating

Seventy-three permits, and just one of them in the last three years. Casaletto & Son's is Thomas Casaletto's shop on Valley Street in Medford, and the permit file reads like a working plumber's decades: bathroom and kitchen fixtures, water heaters, washing machine and dryer connections, gas remodels — across Medford, Brighton, Boston, Brookline, Jamaica Plain, Waban and West Newton. The pace has dropped off sharply, though; the most recent permitted job on record is from 2023. The written customer record is a single review, dated September 2011. A customer in an emergency wrote that Tom arrived right on time, explained the problem, had all the parts needed and fixed it quickly — and that the bill was reasonable, with no advantage taken of the situation. Licensing is the thing to settle before calling. BuildZoom lists four Massachusetts credentials and says it has verified none of them: a plumber licence with a May 2026 expiry, a sheet metal licence expiring August 2025, a master plumber number whose last-known expiry was May 2010, and a pipefitter master licence the Department of Public Safety recorded as at one point cancelled. If you are trying to reach a long-standing Medford plumber, start by confirming he is still taking work and that the plumbing licence is current.
