Joe Walsh Plumbing & Heating is a family-owned plumbing and heating company based in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Joe Walsh founded the business in 1989 and remains its President, and his sons have since joined him: Bob, a Massachusetts Licensed Master Plumber and part owner, and Jake, a licensed Journeyman Plumber. Across nine Google reviews spanning 2022 through 2026, customers describe Bob, Jake and Joe consistently arriving on time and finishing the job quickly. Specific jobs mentioned include a shower cartridge replacement quoted at a fair price over the phone with no surprises added later, a stuck shut-off valve swap for an older home, a main water and irrigation valve repair, a stripped-screw faucet fix that restored hot water to a shower, and a tankless water heater installation that the crew came back to correct at no fault of their own after a defective valve surfaced. In a 2023 review, one customer described a less satisfying visit: a $150 service call for a heating-system problem where the technician said he didn't have the part needed and didn't follow up to finish the repair. The company holds an active Massachusetts plumbing license verified by the state registry, and it states on its own site that it offers free estimates and handles residential and commercial plumbing, heating, and kitchen and bath remodel work.

Great service, arrived when they said they would and banged it out gotta love a family run business!
My Kohler shower had been dripping for a few days before I contacted Joe Walsh Plumbing which is a family owned small business that has been around for 25+ years. I scheduled an appointment and Bobby Walsh & Jake showed up right on time. They replaced my cartridge at a very reasonable price that had been quoted to me over the phone - no surprises!!
Bobby has done a fantastic job for me . Was prompt in returning calls and showing up when he said he would..
Great Service! My husband and I were both impressed with Bob and Jake Walsh. They explained what they were doing and fixed our issue with the main water/irrigation valve in no time. Thank you!
Last year he came out to look at our heating system that was having problems. I told him what kind of system we had over the phone and what was going on. Joe said it should be no problem, he works on that system all the time. He came, charged me $150 for a service call and said he didn’t have the part that I needed. No offer to get the part and fix my heat. Left me in the cold. What a crook!
