About us

Owner operated. Additional email - [email protected] Established 1958 - Plumbing, Heating repairs and new installations. My father Michael Russo started the business from our home in 1958 with a single used truck. I remember going to jobs and working with my father at 10 years old. In 1970 I purchased the business and equipment and helped to build the business just large enough to keep things under control and keep my customers happy with our work. In 2020 I sold my business to my younger brother David Russo. David went to jobs & helped me at only 12 years old and became a Master plumber, Pipe fitter, gas fitter & sprinkler contractor. In 2022 we were forced to go union to get the knowledgable plumbers needed to keep our quality work and service. We were able to pay union wages and keep our prices competitive to this date. Give us a try and you will see the difference. Sincerely, Michael Russo JR.

Water heater "died:" on a Saturday morning. On-call plumber called within an hour after leaving message on answering service. Not surprising that didn't have replacement unit available but asked that send picture of existing tank so could get parts first thing Monday morning. Owner called back Monday morning by 8:00 am and had crew out to house with work completed by 12:00 pm. Price discussed over phone included all parts and labor. Have used company for 50+ years for both commercial and residential use. While not inexpensive does quality work that is completed in one visit.

They removed the old hot water heater and installed a new one. Also installed instant hot water unit in kitchen sink where hole had already been made in the granite countertop. I later inspected all the work that he had done and noticed that he had run the copper pipe from the expansion valve down the side and middle of the hot water tank. The hot water tank is sitiuated next to the hot water tank with not very much space between the two but enough that he could have got it against the back wall. With him running it this way he made that space unusable for any storage. If he had run it down the back wall that space could have been put to good use.
He also was not able to finish the installation of the instant hot water by the sink because the screw that came with the unit was too short. I feel that he should have got one and even come back to finish the job. After all he did go and buy a compression fitting he needed and he could have got the screw at the same time. The owner, Michael Russo called me the next day and I explained everything to him. He told me to call him when I got the screw and he will send the installer back to rectify the run of the pipe and put the screw in. The installation was done on the 6/3/14 and although I got the screw some time back I only remebered to call him on 10/22/14 to send the installer. It seemed he did not remember anything (and probably did not want to remember that he had spoken to me) and on top of it he wanted to charge me an hour just to install the screw and their location is only 5 minutes from my residence. Even though I told him not to worry about repositioning the pipe by the hot water heater.
Would I use them again, NEVER. Obviously they do not stand behind their work.
Response from Michael Russo Jr Plumbing And Heating Co Inc
"(removed member name)t furnished his own instant hot which was defective and missing parts from the start. If he had purchased it from us we would have certainly gotten the part or given him a new appliance at no cost This was explained to him that defective owner equipment would not be guaranteed by us and there would be a charge to repair his unit. This man is very unreasonable and would be a problem to any other installer as well. It is too bad there is not a list of bad consumers to warn business owners."

Not very good AT ALL! Charged for 1/2 hour travel time at 85.00 per hour to travel five minutes to my home. Plumber took a one hour lunch break and charged me 85.00 for his 1 hour lunch. The work was okay. Calls about the excessive labor charges went unanswered. Charged 25.00 for a 6.99 Walmart toilet seat. Will NEVER use them again and you shouldn't either!

Our interaction was good. They came out that same day. What stands out is the promptness.

They showed up on time and work was performed as requested.
The only questionable practice was the billing of the time from when the plumber left their shop and arrived at my home. I was charged an hour for this time from their shop in Lynn to my home in Swampscott.
If you do plan on using them, just be aware of this billing practice prior to hiring them.

The work done was good quality and was completed in a timely fashion. The owner comes at the start of the job but then an assistant does the work necessary. There was a small problem with the dishwasher in the hookup -- the plumbing didn't take the plug out and didn't leave a note, so the first run of the dishwasher lasted hours before I realized that no water was running through the machine. Communication, communication.
