Mikey T's Plumbing & Heating

Mikey T's Plumbing & Heating is a Buzzards Bay company built around one thing: showing up fast when something breaks. Owner Mike personally answers the phone in many of the reviews here, whether it's a Father's Day morning with no hot water or a Sunday-night gas leak, and crews are typically at the door within an hour or two of the call. The company, self-described as residential and light-commercial plumbing and gas piping with 24/7 emergency service, holds an active Massachusetts master plumber license. The reviews keep landing on the same kind of moment: a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, a furnace out in the middle of the night, and Mike or his crew there within the hour. Several reviews also describe him talking customers out of paying for work they didn't need — walking one homeowner through a water-heater fix over the phone instead of billing for a visit, and in a review from December 2024, giving a second opinion on a boiler another company said needed replacing and finding it was running fine. A 2026 review even describes him checking a slow drain, finding nothing wrong, and not charging for the visit at all. The one recurring complaint is about the flat service-call fee: a 2026 review describes being charged $650 to relight a fireplace with no parts replaced, after being quoted a $300 minimum, and a 2023 review describes a similar surprise over the same minimum charge for a pilot-light relight. Both are about cost being explained after the job rather than before it — worth asking what the minimum fee covers before anyone comes out. For an emergency — no heat, no hot water, a leak that can't wait — this is a strong call in the Buzzards Bay area; just get the callout fee and what it covers confirmed on the phone before the truck rolls.
