Deluxe Plumbing & Heating is a Roslindale, Massachusetts contractor with a 4.5-star HomeAdvisor and Angi profile rating from 65 ratings, plus 39 years of experience listed on both profiles. Its advertised work covers drain clearing, fixtures and pipes, gas piping, remodel plumbing, and water heaters, with emergency services and free estimates stated. The written accounts are dated 2013–2019, but they describe concrete plumbing and heating jobs. A 2019 homeowner described fast faucet and pipe work; other older reviews mention furnace, boiler, gas, and water-heater service. There is also a sharp caution: a 2019 one-star account disputes a $450 frozen-pipe bill, and another review advises getting a quote up front. Ask for the scope and price in writing before work begins, especially for urgent calls.

We contacted Elias on a Friday, and he was in by Monday. Flexible, professional, and personable.
I came into work on Thursday 1/31/19 to find a frozen pipe, did a search on Home Advisor, and found Eli. he arrives promptly with a second person. Then left to get a cup of coffee. meanwhile, I am paying two people over $100 per hour to drink coffee, 1/2 hour later they come back, by then I had gotten back from an errand and we had a discussion of what should be done. We decided the best course of action was to just cap both the feed and the return. Once he started work it took the 2 of them about 15 minutes to complete the job. Next came the bill and I handed him over to the accounts payable. After he left, accounts payable, told me the bill was for $450.
Elias was fast and very personable. He responded almost immediately after I requested a quote through the website.

This job was not a 2 person job, and I should not have to pay driving time or for services rendered that did not happen. Hang on to your wallet if you want to hire him, and get a quote up front. He is not to be trusted to deliver an honest day's work for a fair price.
