Jim's Plumbing & Heating is a Belmont-based plumbing and heating shop that owner Jim Gogos says has been family-run since 1985, working installs, repairs and gas jobs across Somerville, Cambridge, Newton, Waltham and the rest of its stated western-suburbs service area. Google shows 4.7 stars from 47 ratings, but the handful of written reviews on file tell a split story. Two from April 2024 focus less on the plumbing itself and more on dealing with Jim directly — one calls him demanding and dismissive on the phone and says to avoid hiring him, the other describes slow callbacks and an arrogant tone. Older accounts read differently: a 2023 review credited a quick, professional fix, and a 2013 Angi review described a next-day estimate visit that was prompt and fairly priced. Its Massachusetts plumber license (2842-PL-C) is registry-verified but currently shows expired — worth asking about before signing on. With only four written reviews spanning more than a decade and two pointed complaints about communication, it's worth having a clear, direct conversation about scope, pricing and licensing up front.
