John Smith Plumbing

John Smith Plumbing is a Harwich, Massachusetts plumber holding an active Massachusetts plumbing license (32777-PL-J), verified directly against the state registry under his own name. His permit history places jobs across Cape Cod towns including Harwich Port, Chatham, Orleans, West Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, and Falmouth, with records on file going back to the 1990s. Reviewers consistently point to fast response on plumbing emergencies. In a 2026 review, a homeowner who reached out after seeing his reply to a social-media post said he installed a new water heater within the week at a reasonable price. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described waking up to a leaking water heater and being coached through shutting off the water by phone before he arranged same-day replacement. Another 2023 review described him correctly diagnosing and rebuilding a drain system that a home inspector had missed and a previous renovation crew had installed improperly. In a 2024 review, a homeowner recounted him replacing a failing water storage tank the night after the leak was found, on referral from a retiring plumber. Several reviewers across Google and BuildZoom, dating back to a 2020 review, describe his pricing as reasonable or fair and say they plan to call him again. The written record is thin in volume -- eight reviews across Google and BuildZoom since 2020 -- though every one is five stars and most describe a specific job rather than generic praise. One thing worth confirming directly: BuildZoom's own license page shows the license lapsed since 2016 and states "No active license on file," which conflicts with the active status the state registry itself currently shows under his name -- most likely a stale BuildZoom record rather than an actual lapse. He's a strong call for a Cape Cod homeowner facing a plumbing emergency, especially a failed water heater or a leak needing same-day attention, or a job where a previous contractor's work needs a second look. Given how few reviews exist, it's worth confirming current pricing and availability directly before booking.
