Call Mr Fix It Plumbing about a dead water heater or a valve that has started to weep, and what reviewers describe is how quickly somebody is at the door. A June 2026 customer whose new dryer turned into three separate problems called after six in the evening and had Cody there the next day; a February 2026 caller with a cold radiator got a same-afternoon slot, with the email and text confirmation arriving before they were off the phone with David. The Brookline shop is second-generation and owner-operated. The site says David Aviksis learned the trade from his father over summers and school vacations, that he is a licensed Master Plumber, and that the family business has been running for more than 35 years across Boston, Newton and Brookline. It holds 5 stars across 181 Google ratings, and more than a dozen reviews from April through June 2026 name the same plumber — Steve, swapping 25-year-old shutoff valves wedged in an awkward spot, fitting a garbage disposal around somebody else's previous installation, tightening a leaking connection under a kitchen sink before it did any damage. The jobs people write about are the everyday list: toilets, disposals, water heaters, washer hoses, shutoff valves, radiators. Several reviewers mention the price holding and no push to buy more — an April 2026 customer said the job was done for the quoted amount within the hour, and a February 2026 customer, whose indirect water tank went nine years before needing its first repair, called the prices reasonable with no upselling. In a June 2026 review, a homeowner credited Lawrence with being straight about which fixes were actually worth doing. On Reddit in August 2026, a Boston-area poster said the company had done their work for about 15 years, and that another plumber had complimented that older work the month before. The state licence registry lists a Massachusetts plumber's licence, 4351-PL-C, for the business. For a small, urgent plumbing or heating job in Boston, Newton or Brookline, this is a straightforward call. Check that your job is one they take in-house — a May 2026 customer's sink clog ended up needing a drain specialist — and get the quote confirmed before they come out.
“Do NOT work with Bay State Remodeling. Their work did not meet Massachusetts building code. Mr Fix It plumbing out of Newton has done work for us for 15ish years. Their work from a few years ago was even complimented by another plumber last month. Vaughan Plumbing has done consistently good work for us across several properties over more than a decade.”
Quick response. Quick appointment. Reasonable price. Courteous and capable plumber. Will use again.

Excellent very professional job. Amazing attention to detail. Steve, the plumber, is a great guy, funny, easy-going, a pleasure to talk to.
Quick response! Replaced my water heater and had me up and running in no time! I’m a repeat customer and always have had great results.
