V and G Plumbing and Heating serves Worcester and Central Massachusetts from 5 Mason Street, with a long-running focus on plumbing, heating, water heaters, sewer work, and remodeling. BBB lists the business under the alternate name Gauthier's Plumbing & Heating, gives it an A+ grade, and says it has been in business for 50 years; Angi and HomeAdvisor describe 49 years of experience and a 4.3 rating from 92 reviews. The written customer history is older but specific, running from 2016 through July 2021. Homeowners describe water-heater replacements, toilet repairs, quick scheduling, clean work, and responsive service. One 2020 review says the crew installed a water heater efficiently and later fixed a bathroom-fixture leak; another says a toilet leak was repaired with the correct gasket after another plumber had failed. Several 2016–2018 accounts mention next-day or same-day response and professional work. There are also serious issues to discuss before booking. In a November 2020 review, a customer says a water-heater change left natural gas leaking into the house; the reviewer says the company returned the same day but recommends staying away. A July 2017 review says a replacement water heater later had reduced hot-water output and that repeated calls to the company and manufacturer did not resolve the problem. These are dated accounts, but they describe safety and follow-up concerns worth asking about directly. This is a plausible fit for routine plumbing, water-heater, heating, sewer, and related remodeling work, especially when the scope and response time are clear in advance. Confirm the current license and warranty arrangements, the proposed equipment and installation checks, and how post-installation problems are handled before authorizing work.
Called on a Thursday morning to see about a new water heater. New one was installed by lunch Friday. These guys are great!
V and G Plumbing came to my house to switch out a hot water tank, which should have been simple, but they did not check their work and left natural gas leaking into my house very badly. Within a half hour, my whole house reeked of gas. If I had not been home and known how to check for a gas leak, my whole house could have burnt down with my poor dogs inside. They came back to fix it the same day, but I was already late for work, and they did nothing else to make up for the fact that they made such a serious and careless mistake. Unfortunately, I can only recommend that you stay as far away from this company as possible for the sake of your home and your family.
A previous plumber couldn't stop a seeping leak between the toilet bowl & the tank after three new gaskets. Called V&G Plumbing, they came on time, worked efficiently using the correct gasket for my model toilet & the leak is fixed! They have the knowledge, reasonable prices, are reliable & now have my future business. Happy to recommend them if you want the job done right the first time.
I used this company to install a new water heater. They met me at the store to buy the water heater, were very efficient in loading the water heater & getting it back to my home. Always courteous & professional, the installation was done in no time, at a very reasonable cost. They did such an impressive job, I hired them again when I had a bathroom fixture leak. Its good to know this company is reliable, very adept in their plumbing knowledge & really are there to the customer's satisfaction. Don't hesitate to call them. Really have great rates!
They did the job and I'm satisfied. They were very responsive, he called right away and was ready to do the job the next day.
