Doughty & Sons, Inc. is a Woburn mechanical contractor offering plumbing, heating, cooling, and remodeling, with its website describing a 1980 founding and Woburn service area. Its site lists master-plumbing, oil-burner-technician, and home-improvement-contractor license numbers. The three dated Google reviews are from late 2022 and early 2023. Customers praised prompt, clean toilet repair, responsiveness, kindness, explanations, and workmanship; one detailed review was mixed, praising the work while calling a $725 outdoor-spigot quote outrageous. BuildZoom shows 80 permitted projects, but several displayed license records have historical verification dates and expirations. A Massachusetts registry record currently identifies plumber license 11968-PL-M as active with Edward Doughty as holder; confirm all applicable licenses and current pricing before booking.

Very efficient, professional, and competent. Fixed a block toilet. Neat and clean. Reasonably priced. Friendly and explained everything in detail. It’s a family business. Very nice people. They came back for another task and asked if I wanted the outdoor spigot replaced. I said what’s the pricing and he said we don’t usually do quotes on small jobs but I insisted I needed one and the quote was $725 for one outdoor spigot , I thought that was outrageous. I actually had a had a new spigot itself in my basement. They took $140 off the price. The spigot had cost me $35. He said because there were two of them and it would take them time to go buy a spigot (which I had bought at Home Depot). It was originally a five star review, but now it’s a two star I had the job done because I was kind of caught in the middle. It’s too bad they are not the company I thought they were.
Great family of plumbers. Responsive, kind and do a great job
Excellent company. Very responsive and did great work. Definitely recommend.
