A 2014 customer said Cavaco Brothers Plumbing & Heating came immediately and replaced their 40-gallon hot water tank the same day. In that 2014 review, the customer said the company had earlier cleaned out a clogged toilet line in sub-freezing weather, and called the price very reasonable. On Angi, the company holds 4.9 stars from 20 ratings. A 2015 customer said Joe was on time, protected the surrounding areas, gave advice on an old tank's warranty that resulted in a credit from Home Depot, and educated them on the new tank, all in 2 hours. A 2015 customer said they had used the company for 20 years and thought it was honest with them about what needed to be done, what didn't and the alternatives. A 2014 customer said the worker suggested putting a shutoff valve on the refrigerator line so the water to the whole house would not have to be turned off. A 2014 customer said the company showed up right away and took care of a problem that could have become a bigger leak in the basement. A 2013 customer described a small project involving an upstairs bath and a downstairs lavette, and said Cavaco worked quietly and left every area clean. A 2011 customer said they arrived on time and finished quickly, so the household was not out of hot water for very long. A 2016 customer said they usually had to wait a little while for appointments, though the company showed up on time. A 2012 customer said the company was not inexpensive but very good. Its Rhode Island plumber license, MP000763, is active, held by James W Cavaco.
We've had them for years and they've raised their prices, which I suppose everyone does. The workers are very good.
I usually have to wait on the appointments for a little while but they show up on time.
On-time, protected surrounding areas, gave advice on old tank warranty resulting in credit from Home Depot, and educated me on new tank...all in 2 hours. Joe is a pro.
Everything went very well and they did a good job.
I've used them for a long time. They are very good. I've used them for 20 years. It was excellent. They came within a reasonable time. They do good work. I think they're honest with me on what needs to be done, what doesn't and what the alternatives are. I will absolutely use them again. They clean up after themselves.Roy
