## The honest read

Four builder-supplied exterior sill cocks swapped for quarter-turn ones: that is the most recent job a Google customer described for Joe Simpson Plumbing, adding that Joe and his co-workers were professional with attention to detail.

The company says it serves Woodbury, CT and Litchfield County with plumbing and well services and has over 15 years of industry experience; its website names Woodbury, Southbury, Middlebury, Roxbury, Bethlehem and Bridgewater as its service area. It has a 4.7-star Google rating from 30 ratings and an A+ grade on the BBB.

A recent customer said the company responded quickly and was happy with the work on a shower. A recent customer wrote that Joe returns calls and has been working for them for many years.

A 2026 customer said their hot water tank died and caused a minor flood on a Saturday, and that Joe called back on Sunday during a bad snow storm and said he would replace the tank the next day; that customer praised the work of two of his workers, Jake and Jamie. A 2026 customer said the company came right away after a toilet supply line blew out and did a temporary repair. A 2025 customer said Joe and his crew replaced their tub drain assembly and added a new vent connection, finishing the day after being contacted. A 2025 customer wrote that the plumbing in their 1840 home had been pieced together over many years and that Joe and his team deciphered and resolved it. A 2022 customer said Joe Simpson installed a new Viessmann boiler for them.

A 2026 customer who hired Joe for kitchen plumbing and a water heater install said that, after waiting weeks, he sent a new estimate $2k above his initial quote and, the day before the scheduled work, replied that he was no longer interested in the job. That 2026 customer also said he claimed to pull a permit, never did, and had them paying for it. A 2023 customer said they never heard from the company after four days.

Its Connecticut P1 plumbing licence, PLM.0288412-P1, held by Joseph S Simpson, is active.

**Strengths:**
- Sill cock replacement — a recent customer had four exterior sill cocks replaced
- Weekend callback — a 2026 customer said Joe called back on a stormy Sunday
- Old-house plumbing — a 2025 customer said an 1840 home's plumbing was resolved

**Concerns:**
- A re-quoted kitchen job — a 2026 customer said the estimate rose $2k, then he withdrew
- A slow reply — a 2023 customer never heard back after four days
