Matty The Plumber is a one-person plumbing business in Marshfield that BBB says Matt Messinger has run since 2011. The Massachusetts plumber license 32388-PL-J, held by Matthew Messinger, is active on the state registry. Earlier customers talked about speed. In an October 2022 review, a customer said Matty called right back when two other plumbers couldn't help, and had come the same day or the next day for both small and large jobs. A November 2022 reviewer said Matty was the only Marshfield-area plumber to return the call, then repaired a broken water heater and leak at the reviewer's office. An August 2022 review described a water heater replacement, and a January 2024 reviewer called him quick to respond and easy to communicate with. This summer, customers had very different experiences. In an August 2026 review, a customer said Matty and his son Kayden got a complex heating system running at a fair price. A July 2026 reviewer hired him to run piping in the basement for a bathroom install and said he took the deposit, dug a hole in the floor, broke the French drain and flooded the area, then never came back to finish; the reviewer said it cost $9,000 in the end, with another plumber. Another August 2026 reviewer said a red warning button kept coming back on the system after the work, and that Matty said to ignore it or push the button. Both of those reviewers said he wasn't properly licensed. BBB gives the business an F, which it attributes to a failure to respond to the 2 complaints filed against it. Google shows 4.1 stars from 13 ratings.
“When Matty the Plumber came to the house over the summer, I got on the subject of Fenugreek and Cordyceps.”
“I'm a highly experienced plumber working on the South shore of MA. I specialize in custom plumbing, and heating work. Give me a call and we can chat!”
Matty and his son Kayden were awesome!! very professional, I was having problems with my heating system that happens to be very complex but Matty and Kayden got me up and running no problem, They gave me a very fair price 5 stars will definitely call again.
Completed work for me later found out his journeymen plumbers license expired years ago and was not renewed and I still have red warning button on my system when I asked him about it he said just ignore it or push the button it will go away it does but returns repeatedly currently rated F by BBB
The worst plumber to ever come across. He was supposed to run piping in my basement for a bathroom install. He took the deposit, dug a hole in my basement floor and broke the French drain. Flooded the area where the bathroom was supposed to be. He never came back to finish the job, always made excuses how he was sick. Cost me 9k on the end, had to get another plumber. Check him out before you hire him. If you dig a little deeper you'll see he had taken other people's money and never finished the jobs. When I looked him up after the fact, I found out he wasn't licensed with the state. Just beware before you hire him.
Hey how are you, I saw you on google and you web site could have some improvement. I can make the whole web site for you and then if you like it you can pay to get it published. Would you be interested in a service like this?
Matty the Plumber was A LIFE SAVER! He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, dedicated to fixing the problem, and very reasonable and thorough. If you live in or around Marshfield, I can not recommend him (and Alex) highly enough.
