Chevron Plumbing is a Burlington, Massachusetts plumbing company run by Kurt Chisholm, whose Massachusetts plumber license (16767-PL-M) is verified active with the state, and it carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. On Google it holds a 5★ average across 190 ratings — an unusually large, and unusually clean, sample for a small plumbing outfit.
Speed shows up again and again as the calling card. A December 2025 review described a shower that broke overnight and was fixed by the next morning. In a 2024 review, a homeowner called Chevron during an emergency and said the crew stayed late into the night to finish, then called afterward to remind the family to lock up a bathroom for their kids' safety. In a 2023 review, a water heater failure two days before Thanksgiving was replaced the same day, at a price the homeowner said beat several competing quotes.
The work itself runs from routine to substantial. Recent reviews describe replacing a boiler along with an indirect water heater, piping, valves, pumps and a relay in a tight space, clearing a shower drain that had been slow for years, and swapping a hybrid water heater and shut-off valve. Reviewers repeatedly name individual technicians — Mike, Jared, Dave, Rory — alongside Kurt, suggesting a small team rather than a one-man shop. A 2024 review described Kurt as the go-to plumber for someone managing three separate commercial properties, calling the pricing consistently fair.
Not every account is glowing. In a January 2024 review, a customer wrote that the company "didn't own up or help" after a massive leak followed one of its jobs, without giving further detail. A more serious account, from October 2023, described hiring Chevron for combined plumbing and heating work, having most of the money collected up front, and being left with unfinished work — no fixtures installed and the heating still not working — despite a promise to come back and finish. Those are outliers against a very large, very consistent run of positive write-ups, but they're real accounts worth knowing about.
Chevron is a solid call for both routine plumbing — leaks, drains, fixture swaps — and bigger jobs like water heater and boiler replacement, backed by a verified license and years of consistent, fast-responding service. Given the couple of serious complaints on the record, it's worth getting the scope and payment schedule for any larger combined job in writing up front.
