Mikey T's Plumbing & Heating

Mikey T's Plumbing & Heating works out of Buzzards Bay, and across 96 reviews collected since 2023 — currently 4.8 stars on Google from 101 ratings — the same word keeps coming up: fast. A Father's Day morning no-hot-water call this June got a 45-minute response and a same-visit fix. The pattern isn't a recent streak — reviews going back years tell the same story: a Saturday-night boiler outage in 2025, a holiday-weekend gas leak in 2023, a Sunday cast-iron pipe repair the same year. Its Massachusetts plumber license is active. The range of jobs goes beyond routine repairs. A 2025 review describes a whole-house renovation where the crew handled the gas hookup and interior plumbing start to finish. Other reviews from 2025 cover a bathroom vanity replacement and a next-day dishwasher install, and — repeatedly across the record — emergency calls for burst or leaking pipes, failed boilers and furnaces, and water heaters that quit without warning. What stands out beyond speed is a pattern of not overselling. In a late-2024 review, a homeowner called Mike in for a second opinion after another company said a boiler needed replacing; he checked the tubes, tested the system, and told them it was running fine. In a 2025 review, another company quoted $8,000 to replace a circulatory pump and shutoff valves on a failing furnace — Mike diagnosed the same problem in four minutes and fixed it for $2,000. A more recent customer describes being walked through a water-heater fix over the phone, avoiding a house call altogether. Set against all that, two reviews raise the identical specific complaint two years apart: a minimum service charge not explained before the work started. In 2023, a customer was surprised by a $300 minimum for a 10-minute pilot-light relight; this April, another was billed $650 for a fireplace call that included drive-time charges they hadn't expected. It's a small share of 96 reviews, but the same complaint showing up twice is worth asking about — pin down the minimum and any drive-time charge before booking, especially for a small job. For anything from a middle-of-the-night furnace failure to a full renovation's plumbing and gas work, this reads as a crew that shows up fast and tells homeowners the truth about what a job actually needs.
