Horvitz Plumbing

Horvitz Plumbing says it has served Metro Boston since 1932, describing itself as locally and family-owned, and lists partnerships with a wide roster of heating and cooling brands — Navien, Weil-McLain, Mitsubishi Electric, Trane and others — alongside plumbing repair, drain cleaning, gas fitting and water heaters. The records get harder to pin down past the marketing page. Three different sources give three different addresses and phone numbers under the Horvitz name — the company's own website (Boston), a Better Business Bureau profile (Brookline), and a BuildZoom permit history (Norwood) — all pointing to the same 1932 founding but not otherwise tying together. The licence numbers disagree too: the website's footer states 'LIC: 10661', while the BBB and BuildZoom records both list Massachusetts plumbing licence #M6762. None of these numbers has been checked against the state registry. What is solid is the permit history: BuildZoom shows 259 permits filed over the years, 41 of them in the past three years (mostly plumbing), putting the business in the top 6% of Massachusetts licensed contractors by its scoring. There are no customer reviews on file anywhere in this record to say how the actual work goes. Given the scattered contact and licence details, it's worth confirming directly — by phone and licence number — that you're reaching the same business behind the permit history before booking.
