Verified record
JP Walsh Plumbing & Heating operates from Stoneham, Massachusetts, and its website says F.J. Walsh Plumbing and Heating has been in business since 1989. The site describes plumbing, heating, and remodeling services, while the state registry lists an active Massachusetts plumber license for J.P. Walsh Plumbing And Heating Inc. The available Google reviews are sharply negative. A January 2026 reviewer criticized driving and snow left on a van; a June 2024 reviewer described unsafe driving; and an October 2022 review alleged a brief clogged-sink visit followed by a $185 bill and no response to follow-up calls. The active license record supports checking the business credentials, but the reviews make pricing, communication, and service experience important questions before booking. Confirm the exact company name, scope, estimate, invoice, and current availability first.

Poor driving and fail to clean snow off of van, causing issues for others.
not sure about their plumbing , but their driving needs improvement. Just had someone in their marked van speed up by me as I was crossing a street, really bad.
Do NOT hire this company! My mother called them to fix a clogged sink. They showed up for 30 seconds. He plunged the drain once. His assistant didn't even have time to put his tool bag down and he handed my 84 year old mother a bill for $185. Does a plumber need to get paid for his time? Of course! I'm all for a professional getting paid for their time...But $185 for 30 seconds of work for a woman on a fixed income is gouging...pure and simple. I called their office twice to get a clarification on the invoice amount and got zero response. They apparently believe the residents of Reading Woods are their personal ATMs. You can bet she'll me or anyone else first next time. Unless you have money to throw away, stay away from these guys.
