Lacroix Plumbing and Heating

Lacroix Plumbing & Heating is a one-owner shop in Revere that took off fast in 2026: 35 Google reviews, every single one five stars, most written by people who called about a water heater that quit or a boiler acting up on a cold night. The name behind almost all of them is Kyle, who reviewers describe as answering his own phone, showing up the same day, and doing the fix himself. Water heaters are the throughline. Reviewers describe him replacing tanks that failed on a Sunday and having a new one installed before the weekend was over, swapping in a combi system to solve a stubborn baseboard-heat setup, and even boosting hot water output on a same-size tank without pushing an upgrade. Heating calls follow the same pattern: he traced a dead sewage ejector pump behind a backed-up basement shower, cleaned a clogged heat exchanger on a noisy Viessmann boiler, and fixed a furnace leak, with more than one customer noting he explained the diagnosis before starting the work. He also covers everyday plumbing — toilet and sink swaps, faucet installs, gas line and drain work, a water filtration system install — and his Massachusetts plumbing license (9628914-PL-J) checks out as active with the state. Pricing comes up unprompted and consistently: several reviewers call his quotes lower than competing bids they'd gotten, and more than one mentions no hidden charges once the job was done. None of the 35 reviews from the past six months is negative. Two things are worth knowing going in. First, this is a young business — one reviewer wishes Kyle well with his "new business," and the review history only goes back to February 2026, so there's no multi-year track record yet, just a fast, consistent run of good ones. Second, at least one job (a washer/dryer hookup) got complicated by a condo building's shutoff-notice rules and had to be rescheduled after a neighbor's complaint — not a knock on the work itself, but a reason to loop in building management early on a multi-unit property. For a water heater or boiler problem in Revere or the North Shore towns he covers — Lynn, Salem, Malden, Peabody, Saugus, and a dozen others — the license is active and the reviews back him up. Given how new the track record is, it's worth asking for references on a bigger job, like a full heating system swap, before committing, just to see the same pattern hold up over time.
