Fei Plumbing and Heating is a Wellesley Hills company Robert (Bob) Fei has run since 2009 per its BBB accreditation record, though the company's own website claims over 40 years serving Greater Boston and MetroWest — the two don't quite line up, so it's worth asking directly how long the business has actually been operating under this name. What isn't in question is the plumbing license: the state registry verifies it active, and the BBB gives the company an A+ rating as an accredited member. The reviews are consistent — 17 on file, all five stars, spanning routine repairs to full renovations. Several describe a pattern of honesty that goes beyond the job: in a 2025 review, a customer said Bob discovered their leaking water heater was still under warranty and got the manufacturer to replace it at a steep discount, unprompted. A recent review about a well-water problem describes the same approach — patient, plain-English explanations of the test results and the options, no upselling, followed by a clean, efficient installation with a walkthrough on maintenance. Emergency response comes up again and again: a January 2026 review describes Bob personally picking up the call when a water heater failed, talking the homeowner through shutting off the water, and arriving within hours. A 2025 review describes a sump pump failure during a nor'easter on a holiday weekend, fixed the same day with several follow-up visits to nail down the root cause. Multiple long-term clients — one for over 30 years, another since 2009 — describe using the company repeatedly for everything from small repairs to major bathroom renovations and condo-wide plumbing work, consistently citing fair pricing and reliability. For plumbing work ranging from a stuck faucet to a full bathroom renovation, or for a middle-of-the-night emergency, the track record here is deep and consistently positive — just worth clarifying the exact tenure claim before it factors into your decision.
Our well water was causing issues for a while. From the very beginning, they were patient and communicative. They explained what was happening with our water in terms we could actually understand, showed us what the testing revealed, and walked us through our options honestly. There was no upselling — just straightforward, knowledgeable guidance that made us feel confident in our decision. The installation went smoothly. They were on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves completely. Before leaving, they made sure we understood how to maintain the system and what to expect going forward. Would highly recommend Fei Plumbing and Heating!
We’ve been clients of Bob Fei for well over 30 years. Not at all surprised by consistent 5 star ratings. Have done major bathroom renovations, emergency repairs and smaller projects with Bob and his team. Always reliable, professional and fairly priced. Highly recommend Fei Plumbing.
Bob Fei and his employees, Steve and Brayden did an outstanding job in the renovation of multiple units within my condo building. I highly recommend Fei Plumbing and Heating.
I am beginning 2026 with much gratitude for Fei Plumbing and Heating as our water heater unexpectedly broke on January 3rd and needed immediate attention. I am a new customer and was so happy Bob picked up the call, guided me on how to turn off the water, and was on premise within a couple of hours with the new heater. I was referred to Fei Plumbing by a close friend and that referral was right! I highly recommend!
Robert and Steven are absolutely the best ! Responsive , knowledgeable, meticulous and simply wonderful to work with . Not only have I used Fei Plumbing and Heating for my own place but refer them regularly to my home organizing clients !
