Jim's Plumbing & Heating is a Belmont-based, family-run plumbing and heating contractor; the company says it was founded by Jim Gogos in 1985 and has served the greater Boston area, including Somerville, Cambridge, Newton, and about a dozen other towns, for over 35 years. The written record is thin but stretches back a long way. In 2013, an Angi reviewer described a prompt, fairly priced free-estimate visit, and a 2023 Google review said a plumbing issue was resolved swiftly and professionally by a courteous, punctual crew. Two reviews from April 2024 raise a different kind of concern, not about the plumbing itself but about dealing with Jim directly: both describe him as demanding and arrogant, and difficult to reach by phone. Worth asking about directly: Jim's Plumbing & Heating's Massachusetts plumber license shows as expired in state records. For a decades-old, owner-run shop covering a wide swath of towns west of Boston, the written praise is real but sparse, and the recent complaints about communication are worth weighing against it — get a clear sense of who you'll be dealing with before booking, and confirm the license situation.
