Quincy Plumbing & Heating Co

Quincy Plumbing & Heating Co. has worked out of the same address on Penn Street since 1978, and owner Barry Gilfeather still runs it as a family operation. The company describes itself as full-service, plumbing and heating both, covering the South Shore from Dorchester and Braintree down through Marshfield, Hanover, and Rockland. Nine Google ratings average 4.6 stars, a figure a separate HVAC directory was still showing current as of this spring. Where independent write-ups mention the company by name, the theme repeats: same-day response and thorough repair work. The volume behind all of this is thin, a handful of reviews rather than hundreds, so treat the average as encouraging rather than a deep track record. One aggregator breaks from that pattern: Birdeye logs an 11-review average of 3.9 stars, noticeably below what shows up elsewhere, and there's no public explanation for the gap. On BBB, the company carries an A+ grade and lists 42 years in business, though it has never pursued formal BBB accreditation, worth asking about if that distinction matters to you. Worth noting too: the company's own website says it started in 1978, while its BBB filing implies a start closer to 1984. For an everyday plumbing or heating call in the Quincy area, a company that's held the same address for decades and reads well wherever it's reviewed is a reasonable one to call. Confirm current pricing, availability, and whether they're taking on the specific job you have, since none of that is public here.
