Frank M. Moody Plumbing & Heating Co.

Frank M. Moody Plumbing & Heating Co. has worked out of Wollaston, in Quincy, since 1985, built around the boiler-and-radiator side of the trade as much as everyday plumbing — steam heat and hydronic systems are the company's own stated specialty, alongside water heaters, repiping, and general plumbing and heating installation and service. Frank Moody, the company's namesake, still runs the work himself, per the business's own account. The clearest outside read comes from a 2024 Reddit thread, where a commenter recommended Frank Moody by name, called him experienced and trustworthy, and flagged one thing worth knowing going in — he's on the pricier side. In a June 2024 r/quincyma thread, another commenter said they had hired Frank Moody for jobs around the house over the years, called him honest, and said the price may be a bit high. BuildZoom's Milton-area mechanical contractor listing backs up the volume of work: 42 logged projects, including a second-floor bathroom remodel on Pleasant Street, and a perfect 100 BuildZoom score. The Better Business Bureau rates the company A+, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. Frank Moody's plumbing license and a separate HVAC/sheet-metal license are both active on the Massachusetts registry, the pairing that lets him handle a boiler swap and the plumbing behind it without bringing in a second contractor. Beyond that, BuildZoom's own profile lists several additional licence records for the company from over the years. Worth asking about before booking: pricing, since two outside accounts called the company expensive even while recommending it. For a South Shore homeowner with an older heating system — a steam boiler, cast-iron radiators, the kind of setup fewer plumbers still know well — this is a shop that has done exactly that kind of work for four decades. Confirm the cost upfront given those two pricing notes.
