Customers have reached Dave Coelho at odd hours. A family facing a burst pipe and a broken heating system on Christmas Eve 2024 said he came out that day and fixed both. In a May 2025 review, a customer whose hot water tank burst across the basement late on a Sunday night said Dave answered and sent a plumber right away, and an April 2025 customer said he talked them through a temporary fix over the phone after hours and finished the repair first thing the next morning. In April 2026, a customer renovating a bathroom said Dave got Josh there within an hour, twice.

In a May 2024 review, a customer told elsewhere that their water heater needed replacing said Coelho's fixed the flue and installed a carbon monoxide detector instead. Follow-through has gone wrong for some customers. In a November 2025 review, a customer said the company started a job six months earlier and never came back to finish it, despite calls and messages. An April 2025 landlord said Dave twice failed to show or reply after scheduling, and a February 2024 reviewer described a project held up for weeks, unanswered calls, and a bathroom drain leak left behind.
David completed the job in a timely and professional manner.
Incredible service! He identified my hot water issue in less than two minutes and walked me through a quick fix. Most big companies charge $200 just to show up, but he provided honest, expert advice instead. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fair and knowledgeable professional
Good guys. Prompt and reliable. Unfortunately for me, had 2 problems back to back while renovating my upstairs bathroom. Luckily Dave got Josh over within an hour both times. Avoided a bigger headache. Thanks for taking care of me Josh and Dave
Highly recommended! Great service! Dave is a great guy as well as Josh. They did a fantastic job! On time, very professional and cleaned everything up when done. I wouldn't use anyone else!
My experience with David was remarkable. He installed a new boiler, water heater, oil tank. His work is impeccable. It was a big job, he completed as he said he would. Left the place in perfect order. I would highly recommend this company
