George S Patey and Sons

George S Patey and Sons is a long-running Dedham plumbing and heating company — according to its Better Business Bureau profile, it has been in business since 1932 and was incorporated in 1968, with 14 employees today and an A+ BBB letter grade, though it isn't BBB-accredited. Its Massachusetts plumbing license, #11788-PL-M, is active and verified directly with the state, held by John Pichette. A January 2022 Google review described a full plumbing check-up — the technician arrived on time, went through everything thoroughly, and tightened fittings throughout the house — and said they'd highly recommend the company. A December 2021 Google review took the opposite view, calling a service charge completely out of line with the work performed, without further detail. The company's BuildZoom profile lists several additional Massachusetts trade licenses under its name — a plumber license, a plumbing corporation license, a plumbing business license, and a refrigeration contractor license — but most are marked 'active' alongside expiration dates that have already passed, some by years, so they shouldn't be read as current confirmation. A separate sheet metal license is the one BuildZoom itself says it checked most recently, in November 2025. The registry-verified plumbing license above is the one confirmed current here. For plumbing and heating work in the Dedham area, this is a long-established company with a currently verified plumbing license, but the mixed December 2021 and January 2022 reviews mean it's worth getting a clear, itemized estimate up front.
