Casaletto and Sons Plumbing & Heating is a Medford plumbing outfit run by Thomas Casaletto, whose Massachusetts master plumbing license (#10720) is registry-verified active. The Better Business Bureau's profile for the company states it has operated in Massachusetts since 1983. The written record splits sharply by era. A 2011 BuildZoom review described Tom arriving on time, explaining the problem, having the needed parts, and billing fairly during an emergency call, and reviews from 2021, 2024 and 2025 kept repeating variations of quick response and clear explanations. Two Reddit threads from 2024 named Casaletto among locals' favorite plumbers, with one commenter calling Tom "the best," though often busy. Two Google reviews from April 2026 tell a different story: one described being billed for time the plumber spent searching his truck for parts and receiving cheap metal brackets instead of the sink mount that was asked for, with one bracket left loose and unnecessary drilling into cabinets; another said the company came three times without fixing the issue while both the cost and the problem grew. A 2024 Reddit commenter also mentioned the company wouldn't take on a water heater job — worth confirming they cover the specific work needed before booking. For routine plumbing and heating calls, the long track record and a verified active license are reassuring, but given the two recent reviews, it's worth being explicit up front about the parts and fix being requested.
“I’ve used Casaletto in the past but they wouldn’t do the water heater”
“**Tom Casaletto is the best (and often busy for that reason). I used Big Blue recently for a small job and they were quick and friendly.**”
“Casaletto, Big Blue plumbing and Jamie Thompson are all my favorites.”
I wouldn't use this plumber again. He spent a large chunk of the time for looking for stuff in his truck - which he charged me for. I was very clear about what I needed - a standard sink mount. He worked at a pokey pace. I did not get a sink mount - but cheap metal brackets you can buy for 97 cents each ($60 parts). One of the brackets is installed incorrectly and wiggles - it's not tight. He also drilled into my kitchen cabinets - unnecessary if a proper sink mount had been used.
They came 3 times and still couldn’t fix the issue. Each visit cost more money and the problem actually got worse. Very unprofessional.
I highly recommend Casaletto and Sons! Tom responds quickly to calls and is always friendly, polite and knowledgeable. His work is top notch, he explains things well and lets you know what to do avoid repeat issues in the future. I always recommend him to my friends since he is such a trustworthy and excellent plumber!
Tom was prompt to reply and asked the right questions to make sure he could accurately quote my issue and fix it fast. I recommend and will use him again.
highly recommend Tom. Excellent experience with a nice, professional expert.
