Two feet of snow on the ground in January 2026 and most plumbers off for the weather; Young Buck squeezed in a leaking hot water heater, quote first, arrival when promised. A month earlier another customer had called three companies and this was the only one that picked up — old tank out, new one running a few hours later. Young Buck Plumbing & Heating works out of Billerica, and the two names in review after review are Nathan and Derek. The company does residential and commercial repair, installation and emergency work around Greater Boston, listing Billerica, Lowell and Boston as its area. Its Massachusetts plumbing corporation licence is active on the state registry in the company's own name; the master plumber number the site also prints is the company's own listing. Water heaters are the bread and butter — replaced the morning after one failed overnight in October 2025, quoted within half an hour of a Sunday call that same month, swapped out in May 2026 after a thorough look showed calcium buildup had gone too far to service. The range runs wider than that: a burst pipe in June 2026, a sump pump in March 2026, a 30-year-old laundry valve in September 2025, and a Toto smart toilet a March 2026 customer says other plumbers would not take on, routed within code to avoid drilling new holes in marble. The other thing customers write down is the explaining. One homeowner in July 2026 got a same-day diagnosis on a leaking boiler relief valve and the replacement the next morning, about $200 under another specialist's quote, and several describe being given options rather than one price. For a dead water heater, a boiler acting up, or the kind of emergency where nobody else is answering, this is a shop built around picking up the phone. Ask who is coming — the reviews name Nathan, Derek, Quinn and Lee — and get the written quote before the truck rolls, which is what the customers who mention price describe getting.
“Great experience, Nathan showed up shortly after our call, ready to resolve our heating problem. Was very knowledgeable and professional. Got our heater to work for the time being , during this cold weather 🌡️ as he had to order some parts for a tune-up.”
Derek and his partner were wonderful. They came to fix my water heather exactly in the time frame they said they would. They were honest, kind and very efficient. We will definitely be having them out for more work with our household upgrades in the near future! 10/10!
10 out of 10 amazing emergency service and customer service. Talented and professional experts. Highly recommend
Hot water was acting up and the guys from Young Buck plumbing were amazing. Offered to come right over, walked me through all the potential problems and how to fixe them. Quick reasonably priced service. Highly recommended these guys!
Friendly and straight about the work I asked about. Helped give me a good idea of where to start and what the scope of each project might be.
I called Nathan about a leaky pressure release valve on our boiler. He came out same day to confirm the diagnosis. Derek came out the next morning and replaced the valve in an hour. Cost was very reasonable (about $200 less than a quote from another specialist). The communication and conduct of the team was prompt, professional, and friendly. Would 100% recommend to others and will definitely be calling them for future work. Update: I had another (unrelated) issue with our boiler system that resulted in losing hot water and called Nathan again to diagnose. He came out same day at 2 pm, quickly diagnosed the issue, and stayed until 7 pm to finish the job and ensure that everything was in order. Again, the professionalism and quality of work were excellent. He clearly communicated the issue and associated costs, and worked hard to finish the job knowing that we have a toddler and need the hot water quick. High-quality work and outstanding ethic!
