Its BBB profile places it in South Chatham/Harwich with an A+ grade, and notes the business is not BBB accredited. A 2023 customer said the plumbers who did the plumbing for a new salon were professional, experienced and skilled. A 2023 customer said Kalinowski was hired by a contractor to add a heating zone to a finished three-room basement and used 1/2 PEX rather than 3/4 PEX on the hot water boiler system. That 2023 customer said the basement heat did not work properly and the boiler constantly recycled without reaching temperature. The same 2023 customer said two other plumbing companies said 3/4 should have been used, like the rest of the house, and that they were looking at split units at extra cost.
Plumbers were professional, experienced, knowledgeable and skilled. Overall a wonderful experience for plumbing my new salon
Kalinowski was hired by contractor to add zone of heating to finished 3 room basement. They Used 1/2 Pex not 3/4 PEX on a hot water heating boiler system. Heat does not work properly ever in basement. Takes forever heat to come up and boiler constantly recycles & can not reach temp. 2 Plumber Co said they cheap it out and should had used 3/4 like the rest of the house had. That is the issue. I was told they should have known better. Nothing I can do now. Basement finished. Looking at getting split units now at extra cost.
Very competent. Good service
