Colantuno & Son Plumbing is a one-name-you-remember operation out of Boston's Centre St -- reviews keep circling back to the owner, Nick, by name rather than the company. On Google, 15 ratings average 4.8, and the story that repeats across nearly a decade of reviews is the same: he shows up fast, explains the fix in plain terms, and does a little more than asked. The specifics back that up. One homeowner called about a failed tankless water heater after getting a $15,000 quote elsewhere; Nick came out immediately, explained what had gone wrong, and replaced it for about half that price the next day. Another needed a mixing valve mid-bathroom-renovation -- Nick fit the quote in, then came back after the tiling was done to install the finishes. Others describe him handling emergencies (a rotted pipe in a wall, an old oil furnace, a badly clogged drain) alongside routine upgrades like new toilets, sinks, and laundry hookups. The written record runs from 2009 through mid-2026, and it's thin on complaints. In a 2010 Angi review, a customer described the job as a pleasure start to finish, though the crew didn't haul away some debris afterward. Worth knowing before calling: this is a small, name-driven outfit, so response time and scheduling likely hinge on Nick's own availability -- worth confirming for anything time-sensitive.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Colantuno & Son Plumbing. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Highly recommend Nick. I called him with an emergency water heater that had broken and needed to be replaced. He was professional, prompt, friendly, and respectful. I am impressed because he went above and beyond - he registered my water heater for me so that I have the warranty and he fixed some of the adjoining piping which was very old & rusted (with no additional charge). He showed that he really cared, is detail oriented, and took the time to do an awesome job as if it was his own home. This was my first time using Nick's services and I will definitely be calling him for all of my future plumbing needs. Thank You Nick!
HIGHLY recommend! If I could give 10 stars I would. Very good price and timely service. Nick does an excellent job explaining his work and making sure everything is done exactly how we wanted and needed.
Nick and his team are great! He came out to diagnose the problem and give us a quote, had his team out to resolve it in a timely manner. They were incredibly professional, patient explaining everything and left our place spotless. Will definitely be calling them again for all our plumbing needs.
Can’t say enough good things about Nick! I was in the middle of a bathroom renovation and ended up needing a new mixing valve. Nick was prompt and professional in providing a quote and getting the work done. He went above and beyond by stopping by again after the tiling was complete so that he could install the finishes. I have worked with others in the area and can say that Nick offers quality work at a fair price. I will be calling Colantuno Plumbing in the future when needed.
Replaced a water heater for me. Offered good advice and a reasonable price. Professional job. Would recommend for sure.
