Verified record
Dynamic Plumbing Heating & Gas Fitting has served the Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts area for about 14 years, run by Angel, with plumber Kumar and office manager Virginia also appearing in the record. The company covers a wide range of plumbing and heating work, from water heaters and gas piping to drain cleaning, faucet repair and furnace installation, and offers emergency service. The written history is dense and mostly positive, though concentrated in an earlier period. Reviewers from 2013 through a 2020 review consistently describe Angel as prompt, careful and willing to go beyond the original scope at no extra charge. A 2018 review credits him with responding to a weekend water-heater failure and completing the replacement by the end of the day. A 2014 review describes a tankless water heater installation where the crew used a specialized drill to run a new exhaust through a concrete foundation with minimal disturbance, finishing on time and on budget. Another reviewer, in 2020, notes Angel repaired a flush handle for free during an unrelated visit. Not every account is glowing. A 2014 review says a promised 25% Angie's List discount was never applied. Two other reviews from the same year describe feeling upsold: one customer fixed a recurring toilet issue themselves for $15 after the plumber suggested a full toilet replacement might be needed, and another was charged more than the original quote for follow-up work. These are minor, isolated complaints against a large body of detailed praise, but they're worth knowing. Across Angi and HomeAdvisor (identical, syndicated listings), the business holds a 4.8 out of 5 average from 31 reviews, 87 percent of them five stars. The bulk of that history sits in 2013 and 2014, with only a single review since, in January 2020, so the volume of recent, verifiable feedback is thinner than the overall average suggests. For a Somerville or Boston-area homeowner with a water heater, gas line, drain or general plumbing need, the record points to a responsive, detail-oriented operation, though it's worth asking about current pricing and getting a written estimate given the two upselling complaints on file.

Angel responded to my call almost immediately. He stopped by that afternoon to assess the job and gave me a quote later that day. He was able to schedule the work within several days after that. While he was here, I asked him to take a look at the toilet, which was not flusing properly. He was able to order a replacement flush handle from the manufacturer at no cost and once it arrived, he came back and installed it for no additional charge. All in all, a very good experience. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for any plumbing or heating issue and recommend him highly.
Late Friday night, we realized there was water in the basement due to the water heater. At the time, it looked like the relief valve. So I called Angel Saturday morning, and he agreed to come right over and take a look. Once he arrived, he realized it wasn't just the relief valve, and the heater would need to be replaced. He then devoted the rest of the afternoon to obtaining a heater for me and doing the replacement. He was careful, professional, and very safety conscious.
I'd been meaning to find a quality plumber more local to me than the one I'd been using and kept putting it off. Disaster struck yesterday when our hot water heater decided to start leaking water everywhere so in a hurry I decided to focus on "local" and not worry on "quality". Luckily I got both, and fast to boot! I've seen friends of mine go through hot water replacement and it always winds up being a multi-day affair, in this case I had someone at my house less than an hour after I called and by the end of the day we were good to go. Angel pointed out a handful of things surrounding our old heater which also needed improvement, not surprising considering our house predates indoor plumbing and things have just been grafted in here and there over the decades. He even pointed out some electrical work that he recommended we look into having done, again not surprising but it was another sign that he cared about quality and is looking out for his customers. I couldn't have been happier with the whole process and am pleased that I've managed to find a quality, local plumber after all.
Angel was professional from start to finish and did a great job with my tankless hot water heater installation. They removed the old water heater, ran new gas lines and installed a new exhaust through my concrete foundation. Instead of just hammering at my foundation to get the new exhaust in, they used a special drill which did the job cleanly with minimal disturbance to the foundation. Everything was done on time and on budget and there were no surprises. Angel even provided me with the paperwork for my tax rebate. I will certainly use them again.
He is a very nice guys. He is smart, competent, resonable, and professional. He has a real grasp of how to install a furnance. He's a top notch guy. He is extrememely responsive.
