Verified record
Gearhead Plumbing, Heating, and A/C is a New Bedford plumbing and HVAC company built around one plumber, Matt (Matthew), who reviewers name directly across nearly every account. Its written record runs from December 2017 to October 2019 - thirteen reviews, mostly five-star. Several of those reviews single out fair, upfront pricing and quick communication: a 2019 review called his pricing fair and said there was never any question about when he was coming; a 2018 review described him starting a job the same day he gave the estimate, and another walked through a Viessmann oil burner diagnosis where he worked through options instead of rushing to a conclusion. One 2018 reviewer gave 4.5 rather than 5 stars specifically because Matt told her a suspected repair wasn't actually needed rather than charging for it. Two other 2018 reviews called the pricing "too expensive" or said they had no basis for comparison. Angi and HomeAdvisor list two different Massachusetts trade license numbers for the business - BU-117078 on Angi and 33206-PL-JT on HomeAdvisor - so confirm the current number and its status directly with the state before relying on either. What's on file describes a small, single-plumber operation that New Bedford-area customers found straightforward and fairly priced in 2018 and 2019, with two dissenting voices on cost, worth weighing against a current quote before booking.

Not only is Matt's work top notch, his pricing is fair. His communication with customers puts you at ease. There is never any question of when he's coming or what is going on. We've recommended him to friends and family as well.
Matt immediately communicates, offers fair pricing and quality work. You cannot go wrong going with Gearhead Plumbing. I will be planning more projects with Matt. No need to look any further.
The reason I have Matt 4.5 stars and not 5 was the problem did not need repairing .He took the time to check out the leak and other plumbing issues while he was there(about 1 1/2 hrs.)And disclosed to me the issue was nothing severe and did not need replacing or repairing He could have taken me for a ride and he did not.Very honest I will call him back for any other issues and let you know how his work is.He seems very thorough and consciousness.
Knowledgeable and friendly. Spent time reviewing /explaining everything
Matthew was very accommodating pleasant to work. He was able to start the work the same day that he gave me the estimate. I would def hire him for future projects.
