Stake Plumbing and Heating

Stake Plumbing and Heating is a Boylston-based plumbing company run by licensed plumber Curtis Stake, working the greater Worcester area on everything from clogged drains to full water heater and well-system installs. The volume and consistency here are striking: 142 reviews from 2022 to 2026, and the ones in evidence are almost uniformly five stars. This month, one customer needed a propane tankless water heater replaced and said Curtis came in with the lowest of three quotes he gathered; another had a shower repaired in under an hour on the day scheduled. In a January 2026 review, a customer described him responding quickly to a gas leak; in a 2025 review, a homeowner described drilling through a water pipe while hanging garage shelves on a Saturday and getting Curtis out to fix it after several "emergency" plumbers never called back. The work described goes well beyond typical repair calls. In a 2025 review, a customer said Curtis plumbed an entire new three-car garage and workshop, including a complex water filtration system, new hot water, sinks, rerouted well lines, and irrigation feeds. Another 2025 review described a full well-pump replacement with a new filtration loop and check valve. A 2025 review described plumbing work as part of a kitchen remodel — new water lines and a dishwasher and faucet swap — and a 2024 review described converting an electric stove to LPG gas, coordinated around a propane tank delivery from another company. Reviewers across the years consistently mention clear communication (arrival texts, photos of the problem, upfront pricing), careful cleanup, and Curtis showing up when he says he will. Several are repeat customers, and one described first meeting his work as a subcontractor on someone else's bathroom remodel before hiring him directly. His Massachusetts plumbing license is verified active. For anything from a same-day repair to a full re-plumb, the review history here is about as deep and consistently strong as this kind of work gets.
