Verified record
Papken Corporation is a small Peabody plumbing outfit with a short, mixed track record — just two written reviews on Google, one from each side of the experience. The more recent one, from 2024, describes a customer left frustrated after Papken did work on their building that turned out poorly; when they tried to get the company back under a one-year warranty to fix it, they said Papken went silent, and they ended up paying out of pocket to correct the mistakes themselves. The earlier account, from 2023, tells the opposite story — a customer needing an urgent plumber said Papken was quick to respond and available on short notice, called the staff pleasant and the pricing fair, and said they'd use them again. With only two reviews on file and a year between them, there isn't enough of a pattern yet to say which experience is more typical. Worth asking directly about how warranty callbacks are handled before signing on for anything sizable.
Did very poor work in our building and went radio silent when asked to come back as we are under warranty for 1 year. We ended up needing to pay money out of pocket to fix all the mistakes that they made since we never heard back. I do not recommend this company to anyone.
We were in need of urgent Plummer Papken was responsive and available quickly Very pleasant staff and fair prices Will be using them again for sure Highly recommend
