Stefano Nigro Plumbing & Heating Inc

A leak that had been plaguing one Falmouth household for months got fixed inside an hour of the call — same day, and for a price the customer called reasonable. That is the shape of most of what people write about Stefano Nigro Plumbing & Heating: the East Falmouth shop shows up fast for the jobs that cannot wait. Someone with a burst water pipe in January 2026 wrote that Stefano happened to be a couple of miles away and was there in twenty minutes; another caller with a boiler emergency the same month said he picked up the phone himself. The work spans plumbing and heating in roughly equal measure. Recent customers describe a toilet and shower installed, two outside faucets diagnosed one-to-repair and one-to-replace, a new faucet on a jacuzzi tub, vanities swapped in two bathrooms with the painting, backsplashes, mirrors and lighting that went with them, and gas water heater and furnace vents rebuilt to a snorkel design so snow could no longer block them a foot off the ground. On the heating side there is annual air conditioning servicing, and in 2025 reviews a same-day furnace condenser replacement, and a furnace and water heater installed together in a single day. Outdoor showers come up often enough to be a Cape signature — trim installed within hours of a last-minute request in June 2026, and a 2025 review from a repeat customer listing an outdoor shower among several jobs. Communication is the other thing reviewers single out. Several describe texts and updates before, during and after the work, an online portal for paying the bill, and an estimate sent before anyone starts. One customer specifically valued being walked through what was wrong and why rather than being rushed. The company's Google profile carries 5 stars across 80 ratings, and BBB grades it A+ as an accredited business. Two things are worth asking about directly. The Massachusetts sheet metal license 17643-SM-A tied to this business is registry-verified active, but the registry's holder of record is Kevin Bishop rather than Stefano Nigro — reasonable to ask who holds which credential on a given job. Separately, BBB's profile lists a plumbing number, 33970-PL-J, that we did not confirm against the state registry, so treat that as BBB's listing rather than a verification. For an urgent leak, a dead boiler, a water heater, or the outdoor shower every Cape house eventually wants, this is a straightforward call. Ask for the written estimate people describe getting up front, and confirm the licensing question before booking a larger job.
