Maguire Company Inc.

Newton's Maguire Company has been fixing pipes in the Boston area since Michael J. Maguire started the business around 1922; the company says it's now a family-run operation in its third generation, led by master plumber Dennis V. Maguire. Its Massachusetts plumbing license is active, and the trade memberships it lists — the National Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors, the Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts, and the Associated Builders and Contractors — point to work that runs past house calls into institutional and commercial jobs. Over the past six months, 34 Google reviews came in and not one was negative, which lines up with the wider 4.8-star average across 54 ratings. The specifics repeat a handful of names: Kevin traced a garage-ceiling stain to a leaking, badly mounted toilet and reset it on the spot, then later worked through what one customer called "a complicated & complex situation" without leaving a mess. Luis found a water-pressure problem that was quietly damaging a customer's plumbing and installed a pressure-reducing valve the same day. Chris cleared a gas leak by swapping a fitting and reset a boiler's hot water temperature during the same visit, and separately solved a stubborn pipe problem on another call. Several customers describe sticking with Maguire for a decade or more — one for 22 years, another for over 40 — for everything from leaking toilets and broken faucets to mini-split maintenance and heating-system checkups. One ten-year customer said pricing "may be a bit more than others," even while calling the work dependable enough to keep calling back — worth asking for a number up front. The company's Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ grade but shows no review or complaint count, so Google is really the only place to see what specific jobs actually looked like. For a leaking pipe, a stuck valve, or a boiler that needs attention in an older Newton-area home, Maguire is a call backed by a checked license and a run of recent, specific reviews — just settle the price before the truck shows up.
