Readville Plumbing & Heating, LLC

Readville Plumbing & Heating is a one-owner shop in Hyde Park — homeowners hire it and, by every account, get Brendan Paschal himself on the job rather than a rotating crew. The company has served the greater Boston area, including Readville, Milton, West Roxbury, Dedham, and Norwood, for about 20 years according to its BBB listing, and the same name comes up again and again in its reviews. What stands out across seventeen Google reviews spanning 2021 to 2025 — all five stars, with Google's own aggregate at 5 stars from 65 ratings — is how consistently people describe the same thing: he calls back fast and shows up fast. In a review from late 2025, a homeowner described Brendan responding quickly to a small basement leak; in a 2024 review, someone said he lowered a quoted price by $125 after finding less work was actually needed. A 2021 review described a corroded pipe bursting in a basement, Brendan returning the call and arriving within the hour, with the problem fixed that same visit. Another 2021 review described him diagnosing and fixing a stuck forced-hot-air furnace that stayed fixed afterward. The work itself runs from the everyday — clogged drains, leaky faucets, a toilet swap — to bigger jobs: a 2025 review described a bathroom renovation, a 2024 review described repairing old cast-iron radiators on a Saturday house call, and a 2021 review described a water heater installation alongside boiler service. A separate, undated mention on a plumber-review site called him "FAIR, HONEST" and someone who gives the customer a break. The company's BBB profile carries an A+ letter grade — it isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for a small shop and not a mark against it — with no complaints or actions on file. Its website lists a Massachusetts license number, Master Lic #16514, though that hasn't been independently checked against the state registry. For anything from a stubborn drain to a dead furnace in the Hyde Park area, this reads like the call-the-owner-directly outfit people keep coming back to for years. Since it runs as a sole proprietorship, expect Brendan directly rather than a larger crew, and confirm the license status before booking.
