Plumbers On Call is a small Woburn plumbing outfit that's been showing up on time for three years, and on Thumbtack the same name keeps coming up in every review: Allan. Allan Barbosa is the technician customers describe — the one who calls back quickly, sets same-day appointments, and stays until the job is actually finished. The five reviews on file, spanning September 2025 to August 2026, all describe real plumbing work: a toilet replaced and another repaired alongside a new bathroom faucet, a leaking shower fixed with new trim, a stubborn leak another plumber had turned down. Customers single out the responsiveness and the cleanup afterward, and the company has been hired 144 times through Thumbtack, earning Top Pro status in 2025 with an 84% five-star rate across its 80 ratings. One thing worth asking about directly: the company's own Thumbtack profile states plainly that it is not licensed, so confirm what that means for your specific job before booking. For a straightforward repair or fixture swap in the Woburn area, the pattern here is a fast callback and a technician who explains what he's doing — just settle the licensing question up front.

I cannot speak highly enough of Plumbers On Call. Allan from Plumbers On Call showed up to my residence on time, just a few hours after I had spoken to him on the phone. While here, he took his time to work on replacing one toilet, repairing another, and installing a new bathroom faucet. While he was here, he let me know that the bathroom faucet I had purchased from Amazon.com was missing some essential parts. He went to Home Depot to look for a replacement kitchen faucet. I finally decided not to go with the replacement kitchen faucet and will be re-purchasing the faucet I really want from another retailer — Allan will be installing that. Allan repaired one toilet, replaced another, and installed a kitchen faucet to my satisfaction. He also returned everything under the sink that he had taken out to install the new faucet. He also cleaned up the entire area where he worked, which is unusual for contractors. To sum up, I will be using the services of Allan and Plumbers On Call again. They surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who asks. Allan and Plumbers On Call will be my go-to plumbers moving forward.
highly recommend plumbers on call team. Allan and Antonio were extremely efficient and professional. they fixed a water leak for us and couple of other issues with very affordable pricing.
Allan responded for my request and set up same day appointment! He gave me a quote and fixed leaking shower. At my request he installed new shower trim. ( tub spout and drain) I'm very happy with the work and wonder why I didn't do it sooner !
Allan was responsive in letting me know he would be a little early to the start time. He took time to explain the issue and was able to resolve it the same day.
Allan showed up on time, gave us a fair quote and got to work right away. He fixed a complex leak issue we've had for a long time that another plumber looked at and said it was too big of a job for him. But Allen was confident he could take care of the issue and he did with record time. He was friendly, respectful and cleaned up after he was finished. We would absolutely use Allan again for any plumbing needs and highly recommend!! 5 Stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
