Mckeon Plumbing And Heating is a Whitman, Massachusetts plumber and heating contractor. Reviewers refer to Mike McKeon as the person homeowners deal with directly for both routine repairs and emergency calls. Across a run of five-star Google reviews from 2023 through 2024, homeowners described being called back the same evening for a failed water heater, walked through shutting off a leak by phone before a next-day fix, and praised the plumber for finishing basement and kitchen leak jobs quickly and at what several called a fair price. One reviewer in 2024 said they sent the business to their parents' home in Boston for a water-heater emergency and were happy with the response and pricing. Several reviewers said they would recommend the business to friends and family. Two serious complaints stand out alongside the praise. A 2025 Google review described the plumber not showing up for a scheduled kitchen sink installation, leaving the job unfinished and never pulling the required permit. Separately, a 2024 BuildZoom review said the business took a $10,000 deposit toward a $12,500 heating-system replacement, cashed the check, and then never performed the work; the reviewer said the matter was reported to law enforcement. The Massachusetts plumbing license on file under Michael Andrew McKeon's name has expired, per the state registry, and Better Business Bureau records one complaint against the business, contributing to a B- grade. BuildZoom's own page states no license is required for this trade in Massachusetts, which conflicts with the plumbing license the state registry has on file for this business. For a routine repair or emergency call, the run of positive reviews points to fast, fair-priced service, but given the expired license on file and the unresolved 2024 and 2025 complaints, it is worth confirming current licensing and getting a clear, in-writing payment schedule before handing over a large deposit.
Mike was paid to rough in a sink in a new kitchen. He did not show up for scheduled work. Over and over he said he would come to work. He didn’t finish the job. He never even paid for the permit. Other contractors were held up for weeks as was our whole project. Hiring him was a complete disaster. Steer clear.
Mike was very responsive when we had a leak in our basement. He checked it out and was able to replace it quickly and efficiently in the same visit. Would highly recommend!
Awesome guy and got the job done quick and painless. Happy to have a working sink again. Reasonable prices and happy to refer him to my friend and family.
Mike is a gentleman and does great work at a fair price. Arrived and finished in the time frame we set at project start. Already am recommending him to friends and relatives.
I sent Mckeon plumbing and heating to my parents house in Boston for a water heater emergency. They were very responsive, efficient and well priced! I highly recommend.
