Ralph The Plumber LLC

Ralph The Plumber LLC works out of Hanson, and its reviews keep circling back to the same thing: speed. The company holds a 4.9-star average across 148 Google ratings, and the story repeats itself call after call — someone reaches out about a leak or a stuck valve, and Ralph or a member of his crew, often Pierre, is on-site within the hour, frequently the same day. Ralph Codio is the registry holder of record for the company's active Massachusetts plumbing license. The written history spans 122 reviews from 2021 to 2026 across five sources, and it holds up on specifics rather than adjectives. In a 2022 review, a homeowner called at 7:10 on a Friday morning after finding a water heater leaking across the basement floor; a new unit was installed and running by 1pm the same day. In a 2024 review, a customer described Ralph replacing a broken boiler with a high-efficiency combi unit in a tight mechanical space after three other plumbers had already passed on the job. More recently, a customer described him attempting to repair an existing Symmons shower valve before defaulting to a full replacement — a detail a few other reviewers also mention. Recent activity is consistent with the rest of the record: 11 reviews over the last six months, none negative. The one sour note worth flagging: in a 2025 review, a Brighton customer described being quoted $2,800 to replace a single kitchen faucet, called the price "ridiculous," and said a competing plumber quoted the entire job — faucet, garbage disposal, and shower trim kit — for $800. The same review mentioned friction over where the crew could park. It's the lone low rating in the visible record, but it's worth getting a firm, itemized price before work starts, particularly for a city job. Ralph The Plumber is built for the fast-turnaround call — a leaking water heater, a stuck valve, a clogged drain — more than a large-scale renovation. Get a written quote up front for anything beyond a straightforward repair, and expect a crew that shows up quickly and explains what they're doing along the way.
