A water-tank replacement customer that month named Kevin, praising a quick installation, affordability and courteous explanations. Older water-heater jobs include different types of equipment. In a November 2024 review, a Northborough customer said Kevin replaced an electric tank with a heat-pump water heater, added a washer shutoff valve and combined the dehumidifier drainage pump with the new heater's pump. A May 2022 customer described replacing a gas water heater with a 65-gallon electric heat-pump model; Kevin and Nick completed the installation in about half a day and answered questions. Another May 2022 reviewer described Kevin and Nick replacing a failed power-vented tank with the manufacturer's recommended replacement, arriving as promised and installing the unit as agreed. The repair accounts extend beyond hot water. In December 2023, a Google customer said Kevin assessed a leaking, plugged bathroom-sink drain, returned the following morning and finished by noon. The work required opening the wall, after which the wainscoting and trim were reused; the customer also said he replaced a leaking sink plunger. An August 2024 reviewer credited Kevin with efficiently repairing a shower leak. An April 2025 customer said the crew came the next day to resolve a toilet-replacement problem in an older house. A December 2024 reviewer described a quick weekend emergency visit that also diagnosed a longstanding problem. In June 2022, a customer praised Kevin for completing new-bath plumbing despite difficulties with the general contractor and returning to fix an unrelated leak.
Quick response and good price
Excellent at responding to and analyzing problems and offering solutions. Recommend him highly.
Excellent service. Quick response - they answered the phone right away and were at my house within an hour of my call. They worked efficiently, answered all of my questions, did not try to sell me services that I had not planned for. They fixed the problem in a reasonable amount of time. I would absolutely hire them again, and I would recommend them for their professionalism and accurate diagnosis and effective remediation.
