JF Gallant

A homeowner writing in February 2015 said John Gallant called immediately and was at the house within 30 minutes of the request. The same thing turns up in other accounts of JF Gallant, a Pembroke plumbing and heating outfit whose reviews name John personally — he takes the call and he does the work. The written accounts run from 2014 to April 2021, and the two profiles carrying them each show 4.9 stars from 28 ratings, on Angi and on HomeAdvisor. A January 2015 customer said he heard their heat was out and made an effort to get to them that day. A 2014 reviewer wrote that he returned their call and came out on a Saturday, took the time to evaluate the problem and explain the options, then came back Monday and fixed the system. The work described spans everyday plumbing and heating. In a 2016 review, a homeowner said John called right away and installed a kitchen sink within a week, at a price 40% below another quote they had, and charged the original quote with no surprises. A 2014 customer had him replace a natural gas hot air furnace and install a new hot water heater; another that same year said he came up with an easy solution to bring more heat and air up to a second-floor bedroom. In January 2016, a couple caught mid-bathroom-renovation with their water shut off overnight said he came as soon as they got home from work the next day and fixed everything up. His Massachusetts plumber licence, 32021-PL-J, is active on the state registry in John Gallant's name. Price is the one place the older accounts diverge: several customers called his cost reasonable or under competing bids — a 2014 customer said it was less than every other plumber they contacted — while one 2014 reviewer, who described the job as well done, said he was a little high priced. Ask for the number in writing before he starts, the way the 2016 customer did. One thing to keep in mind about all of this: the jobs customers describe date from 2014 through 2021, the most recent account being April 2021. For a South Shore homeowner who wants one plumber on the job from the phone call to the cleanup — a sink, a water heater, a furnace that quit — John Gallant is worth a call. Confirm he still covers your town and takes on the kind of work you need, and get the price agreed before the visit.
