Paul Foukas Plumbing & Heating

Paul Foukas Plumbing & Heating is a family-owned Lynn plumbing and heating company — the site names Paul Foukas and Paul Jr. as the family behind it — offering 24/7 residential and commercial plumbing, drain and sewer work, and heating installation and repair. BuildZoom's permit-based data places the company in the top 2% of Massachusetts contractors by that measure, with 157 recorded projects, 117 of them in the past three years, spanning plumbing work on apartment and ADU renovations in Boston, Brookline, Revere, and Newburyport. Its 17 written reviews, from 2021 through 2025, are unanimously five stars. The specifics describe real emergency and routine work: a busted pipe fixed on an emergency call that turned the customer into a repeat client, a same-day water heater replacement the reviewer called lucky to get, and a new gas line paired with a power-vented water heater installed at what the customer called a very fair price. Multiple reviews specifically cite quick response — one reviewer said replacement pipes arrived roughly 30 minutes after calling — and fair, reasonable pricing across several different jobs over the years. A Reddit commenter listed the company, under the spelling 'Foulkas,' among plumbers used on the North Shore, though the commenter wasn't fully sure which town it was based in. The company self-reports certification as a MASS SAVE contractor, and BuildZoom's directory lists a Massachusetts plumber license along with a dozen other licenses, noting it was verified active the last time BuildZoom checked — that's the directory's own record, not an independent check made here. The Better Business Bureau, by contrast, lists the company as not accredited and 'Not Rated,' citing insufficient information, while recording 10 years in business and three employees. Anyone in the Lynn and North Shore area with plumbing or heating work, from an emergency pipe repair to a new water heater install, is who these reviews describe being served well and promptly.
