Spencer Contracting Corp.

Spencer Contracting is a family-run Peabody plumbing, heating and electrical shop that says it's been serving the North Shore since 1981, now under a second generation of the Spencer family. Google shows a 4.4-star average from 13 ratings, and the written reviews on file lean heavily toward big underground jobs — sewer lines and water mains. Several reviewers describe exactly that kind of work: a cracked, decades-old sewer liner replaced after an inspection caught it, a sewer pipe blocked by tree roots cleared with the basement left cleaner than before, and a roughly 200-foot main water line run from the basement to the street. In each case, reviewers name the crew — Oscar, Cesar, Johnathan, Matthew, two techs both named Brian, Paul, Julio, Jose — and describe them as prompt, professional and communicative; one reviewer specifically called out the Saturday response the company gave her elderly grandfather during a sewer backup. There's a wrinkle worth flagging: in a 2026 review, a customer said the company kept charging a monthly subscription fee even after repeatedly calling to cancel it. It's the only recent written account on file and stands in contrast to the largely positive multi-year history before it. The company also lists brand certifications with Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, Bradford White and Generac and says it's authorized for Mass Save instant rebates, pointing to heating, water-heater and backup-generator work beyond the sewer and water-line jobs reviewers describe.
