Tony Gideika Plumbing and Heating

Tony Gideika Plumbing and Heating works out of 191 Den Quarry Road in Lynn, Massachusetts, run by owner Tony Gideika with a small crew. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+. Angi and HomeAdvisor both rate it 4.4 from 677 ratings — a large volume for a one-owner shop, and a figure that carries real spread rather than a wall of five stars. What customers describe most is speed and diagnosis. A July 2026 client had the job completed the next day inside an hour. A May 2026 customer said the team came out as soon as possible for an emergency and then proposed longer-term fixes so the problem would not recur. A February 2025 client got an appointment within 24 hours and called the price very competitive. A January 2025 customer had a clog cleared on a Sunday. The technical range is broad for a small operation. An April 2025 reviewer with an old Symons Temptrol shower valve found the plumber knew the fitting and carried all the replacement parts on the truck. A May 2026 client had a bad shower-faucet leak fixed and called it reasonably priced for a big job. A September 2025 customer had a basement traced for moisture and a main drain checked as part of chasing down a fly infestation. A January 2025 client valued having the procedure explained and being given advice on avoiding a repeat. The complaints cluster around price and one job that went wrong. In April 2025 a one-star reviewer said a leaking pipe near his mother's furnace was replaced, but that the worker also cleaned two electronic components on the furnace — which had been working beforehand and would not restart afterwards — leaving the family facing a further $1,900 quote and a separate furnace technician. The owner posted a response disputing the account and saying the system had been shut down as unsafe. In July 2026 a customer rated half a star over a $350 charge for a short visit; the owner's response sets out an hourly structure of $350 for the first hour and $150 an hour after, with no travel, weekend or evening surcharge. An April 2025 four-star customer put it more mildly: good service, but did not love the cost. Good for fast diagnosis and emergency plumbing on the North Shore.
