Republic Plumbing Supply Co

Republic Plumbing Supply Co. isn't a crew that comes to your house — it's the counter you go to for the part your plumber (or you) actually need. The Quincy store at 20 Raymond St is one stop in a Massachusetts chain the company describes as running from Worcester to Cape Cod, selling plumbing, heating, HVAC, kitchen and bath supplies out of a wholesale counter. Its BBB file traces the company's roots back 114 years. On Google, the Quincy location holds a 4-star average across 37 ratings, and its broader review trail — ten write-ups spread across five different sites since 2021 — leans consistently positive. The theme that keeps surfacing is a staff willing to slow down for someone who's never bought a part before, explaining what they actually need instead of just ringing it up. As recently as this spring, one visitor stopped by just to say the attitude at the counter has held steady for years. It hasn't always gone that way for everyone: there's at least one on-the-record complaint about a long wait and brusque treatment, so it's worth walking in with a clear idea of what you're after. The BBB gives the company an A+ grade. It isn't a BBB-accredited business, but that's a status a company opts into rather than something it fails to earn — not itself a warning sign. Call this the right stop if you need a specific plumbing, heating, or kitchen/bath part and want someone at the counter who'll help you find it — a contractor restocking supplies, or a homeowner mid-repair who doesn't know the part number offhand. It isn't the number to call if you want someone to actually do plumbing or HVAC work in your home; nothing here points to them sending installers out to a job.
