Boston Standard was great . Our old hot water heater blew out. Boston Standard was great at answering our questions about other types of hot water heaters (on demand, hybrid...) and what would be needed to switch. They were punctual and professional. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any of a newer more energy efficient model of of a standard hot water heater.

I bought a deal and received an email response within hours. I spoke with a very friendly woman in the office and set up the appointment. The technician called before he came and was on time. Wore shoe covers (love that). He explained the problem and the work required. He did a great job and cleaned up after himself. We were very happy with the work and are anxious to see our water bill next month! We plan to use Boston Standard Plumbing in the next few weeks for a furnace tune up before winter. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants quality professional plumbing work for reasonable prices.

I saw the Big Deal offered and purchased it, but quickly received a message saying I was outside the business's service area. It was disappointing as I have several small plumbing issues I'd like to have addressed. Also it took about a month to get my money rebated. I believe there should have been disclosure that the deal was limited to certain geographic locations.

The plumbers arrived promptly at the time arranged. They were friendly. They fixed the radiator (assessed what was wrong first). They waived the service charge and charged me for the diagnostics of the problem. They were in and out in less than an hour.

It went great. Mike and Kevin were prompt, courteous, and very efficient. They got all my little repair jobs finished within two hours and left the place clean. Mike also gave me a good analysis of a couple of other plumbing situations in my house and what the options were if I wanted to do anything about them. He knows what he's doing, answered all my questions, and got done in time for me to catch the bus I needed to catch. Price included one year service plan. I had earlier bought an Angie's List coupon ($99 for $200 worth of work). I'm very pleased and would happily hire them again.

I responded to an offer which came via email from Angie's List regarding plumbing service for $99.00. After contacting the service provider, I received a call from their appointment scheduler informing me that they are a Boston-based company that does not provide service in my town (I live west of Boston). Since I had already transacted with Angie's List for the $99.00 special, I had to take the time to apply for a refund of my money, So, not only did I NOT line up a plumber for service, I had to waste more time getting Angie's List to refund my $99.00. This is not a very efficient way to do business, in my opinion. I have no ill will toward the plumbing contractor, Boston Standard Plumbing & Heating, Inc. I'm sure they are a fine company providing adequate service to their customer base. My problem is with Angie's List for emailing me the offer for their service. If the vendor does not service the area in which I live, why did Angie's List send the offer to me in the first place? Should it be incumbent upon the end user to vet each and every offer Angie's List makes to them? What sense does that make? Surely the technology exists that would allow Angie's List to filter offers appropriately to the areas that the vendor services, and thus avoid headaches and wasted time on the part of their paid subscribers. Bad move, Angie. I, and my fellow subscribers await your explanation.
Description of Work: The provider called me to say they do not service customers in my area. The provider is located in Boston, and does not provide service in my town.

Came in the middle of the night in the middle of a 3-day holiday weekend. Had to drive to Brookline from the south shore. Took care of the problem and gave us good prices on everything including a service contract. We had called at least three other so-called 24/7 plumbers, including one we had used before, and only he (Mark) responded. Courteous, professional, just great.

I was so impressed with these folks! They were prompt, thorough and quoted me a price that, in the end was higher than what they actually charged me! So I paid less than I expected which was a total surprise and very welcome. The job was neat and they were done in just a few hours. I would DEFINITELY use them again. It's so hard to find a good plumber and now that I have, their number is in my phone!
Description of Work: I originally asked to have them come out to fix a clog in my kitchen sink and to repair the drain in the tub. When they arrived and fully inspected the job, it was clear that much more work was required. The entire sink pipe had rotted through and was leaking into the basement. So they replaced the whole thing and fixed the tub too.

Nick saved the day when my efforts to switch out the rubber hoses to the washer failed miserably. He showed up almost immediately and remedied the situation quickly and effectively. I had to pay a lot to get it fixed but it was an emergency and on a Sunday so I guess it's fair for them to charge more. But I would definitely recommend them. No hassle and money well spent! Thanks, Nick!

The two young men who came from Boston Standard Plumbing were very promt and professional. They spent about a half hour fixing the drain, which I've already had fixed before. According to them, the problem is the design of the drain, which of course will cost more to fix permanently. It's running great right now, so I was happy with the service.

They did flush the water heater, but that took less than 10 minutes. Afterwards, during what I guess was the "inspection," they walked through the house with me, made a list of a number of repairs and upgrades, including new toilets, and gave me an estimate for how much each item would cost. Once this was done, I asked them to change a filter in my whole house water filter. Instead of saying "Sure, that'll only take a few minutes,"one of the guys said he would not touch that task, as he had become very sick when changing a filter for someone else.The two guys that came out were very competent, smart, and clearly well trained. They were also polite and friendly. However, I was not happy with the way the visit turned out. I felt like the company had offered this deal purely to get more customers, rather than to show me how good they were, so I would want to hire them again. Basically, I felt like I had paid for them to come to my house and give me an estimate. Also, I found the response to the filter request to be surprising and disappointing.
