A January 2025 customer found an active gas leak in the house mid-day and wrote that Sean Arone rearranged his schedule to get there. A December 2024 review tells a similar story: an elderly couple with a gas leak at 29 degrees, told he could be there within the hour, kept in the loop by text and calls before he arrived. Answering that kind of call is what most of the 24 Google reviews behind the company's 4.7 average describe. Old School Plumbing & Heating works out of 19 Main St in Dennis Port. Its own site says Master Plumber Sean Arone leads a team of four lifelong friends and Cape locals, doing residential and commercial plumbing, heating, gas lines and boilers across Cape Cod with 24/7 emergency availability, and naming Falmouth and Provincetown in its service area. Its Massachusetts plumbing licence is active on the state register. The jobs customers name run small and domestic. A February 2025 reviewer called about a leak around 8am and had two plumbers, Julian and Tyler, at the house by 9:30. A March 2025 review describes dishwasher and washer-dryer hookups in a small cottage crawl space, neat and clean. An October 2024 weekend call got a Navien tankless heater running again; another October 2024 customer described a whole-house re-plumb and new shower hardware. Cape permits match that mix — a boiler and indirect water heater in North Falmouth, a half bathroom in South Dennis, a gas line to a kitchen stove, a relocated kitchen sink drain in Eastham. Two 2026 reviews run the other way. A May 2026 customer wrote that an agreed 3:30 appointment on May 13 was not kept and that he then tried to reach Sean; a July 2026 driver, who says he has never hired the company, complained about the way one of its trucks was driven with the name on the side. A sound call for Cape Cod plumbing and heating emergencies, and for boiler and gas work. Pin down the appointment window and a day-of contact number when you book, and ask which of the team will be at the house.
“Sean Arone at Old School Plumbing. Great. 774-268-0712”
Haven’t gotten a service from these guys. I’m sure they’re good, but their DRIVING is terrible. Cut me off when I had the right of way and proceeded to flip me off. I’m guessing because I had RI plates, but who knows. Not great publicity with the name of your business on the side of your truck.
I cannot comment on the quality of work this company may provide. Although I may say that I received no professional treatment and consideration from this company. Sean and I agreed on a 05/13/26 - 03:30 PM appointment but he never showed up. I tried to contact him but he totally ignored me. That is not what I expected from any company and how any company should do business either.
Sean is incredibly professional courteous and responsive and provides five star service! Highly recommend this professional young man for plumbing and heating services
Sean was immediately responsive to our non-emergency call. Austin was sent the next day with apprentice Julian. Austin was professional, competent, pleasant and personable. Julian was quiet and polite. The job was completed quickly and well. Clean-up was thorough. The bill was within my range of expectation. 5 stars all around.
Austin was a true gem and Sean was nothing short of amazing on the phone. They did a very thing they promised and more. Love these guys.
