Paul Jenkins & Sons Inc

Paul Jenkins & Sons is a family-owned plumbing, heating and well-drilling business based in South Orleans on Cape Cod, trading under this name since 1963 — a 63-year run according to the Better Business Bureau. Alongside routine plumbing and heating work, the company drills wells and installs and services well pumps, and its own website is built almost entirely around one seasonal specialty: closing up (winterizing) summer homes' water systems each fall and turning them back on each spring, a recurring need for Cape Cod's large stock of seasonal properties. Customer feedback is thin in volume but consistently positive. Google shows a 5-star average from 7 ratings and Porch shows a 5.0-star average from 9 ratings — perfect scores on both platforms, though only two written reviews were available to read directly. In a 2021 review, a homeowner described more than twenty years of being consistently pleased with the work of a named technician, Joe Jenkins, at their house — the kind of long, repeat relationship that speaks well of a small family operation. A second, 2023 review is far shorter, simply calling the service great without further detail. A few things are worth confirming before booking. The BBB profile carries an A+ letter grade, but the BBB page itself states plainly that the business is NOT a BBB-accredited business — two separate facts, not a contradiction. Separately, BuildZoom's own unverified directory listing shows five license numbers for this business — a sheet metal license and a plumbing-business license currently marked active, a plumber license shown active but past its stated 2024 expiration, and a plumber license and a home-improvement-contractor license both listed as inactive or cancelled per the state boards. None of this is a state-registry verification, so current license status is worth confirming directly with the Commonwealth before hiring. This is a genuinely long-running, family-run Cape Cod plumbing and well business, with at least one loyal customer on record and clean scores where ratings exist — best suited to homeowners needing routine plumbing, well or pump work, or seasonal water-system service, with license status the one item worth double-checking directly with the state.
