F J WALSH PLUMBING, HEATING INC

I would use them again. They are very professional, responsive. It is hard to find people that return calls, show up and actually tell you if they are going to be late. They got it done in a half of a day. That was a good time for me. 2 people came out.

I would use them again. 2 people came out and it took them 3 hours. When they left everything was cleaned up and orderly.

Despite requesting quote in advance by phone, none was provided. After reaching out via text message the next day, I was told Frank would arrive later that day, presumably to provide a quotation. He showed up at the property without specifying a price, did not ask questions, replaced the faucet and caulked the sink. He was on site for 50 minutes (I received text messages from my wife when he arrived and departed). I then received an invoice for $375, over twice the going rate (even he said the going rate for faucet replacement is $175). It's unfortunate that after using Frank for many projects and thousands of dollars of work over the last 15 years, he has eroded the trust quickly. When I inquired about the invoice, I was told I should have asked for a quote (which I did).

Very happy with the service. Very good communication by phone and text. Comes on time, very courteous, and at the start and end of each work day gave a preview and review of what was being done. Were also happy to help with small fixes that they found needed to be done, with no extra charge. They also kept the workspace very clean, neat, tidy. They knew we have a little baby so they always asked before they were going to shut off water, or sewer, or do something noisy, to make sure to not disturb the family. Highly recommended!

Response time excellent. Work done efficiently, very tidy. Sets your mind at ease, very informative about how systems work. Excellent workmanship. Trust this plumbing company, frank Walsh has never let me down. Everything his company has done in this old house over many years is still functioning properly. Thank you frank and staff.

We were in a bind because another plumber was unable to come at the scheduled time to install our sink. We called FJ Walsh. Frank came an hour later, fitting us into his schedule. This was a somewhat tricky installation of a kitchen sink in rather tight quarters. Frank was great about explaining our options for the installation and did a very neat job with the installation. We will definitely call him again when we have plumbing to be done.

From the start when I asked FJ Walsh to come in for an estimate I knew they would be a good choice. Frank was easy to work with listened to what I was trying to accomplish and made some great recommendations. They arrived as scheduled and completed the rough plumbing quickly with lots of attention to detail. Pipes were secured and insulated to reduce noise. The inspector was pleased with the work and signed off without any changes. When I was ready, they scheduled me in quickly to get the final finish work done.once again, the attention to detail was great. Frank put attention in making certain the silicone at the base of the toilet was absolutely flawless - more than I would have expected. Everything was either just as I asked or better. Any they left the place spotless each time they were here. Price was as agreed per the proposal. Overall the best plumber I have ever had do work for me and my expectations are pretty high. Chose this plumber if you want clean and attention to detail.

We ordered our new gas stove online, and needed a company to make the connections. FJ Walsh was able to come out the next day to install it. They did a great job of coordinating everything - the inspector was there (required by MA law) at just the right time, the guy doing the installation was spot on for timing, etc. The office manager even came by to give him something he'd forgotten and check in with me. The guy doing the installation spent a ton of time making sure the range was perfectly level, and even with the counters (which was apparently not easy - I guess our counters are not a standard height). He cleaned up after himself perfectly, and they took away our old stove - no problem. When we realized that we'd forgotten a thermometer in the old stove, they tried hard to reclaim it. They were super responsive. They made things easy for us. I would definitely recommend their work, and their attitude!

We got several price quotes from other HVAC companies. F.J. Walsh was the only company that gave us a fair price. This is the second time we have used their services. Both times they looked at the job (something other companies don't even bother with), gave a free estimate, and we had them perform the work. My Brother is a HVAC technician in upstate NY so I knew roughly what the price should come in at. I feel it was a fair price. They are always on time, honest, perform quality work and explain what they did. I'd use them again. Enough said!

The interaction went very well. He gave me a lot of information. He does a lot of explaining, which I like.

Overall, it went very well. Even though my hard of hearing husband didn't hear the plumber and didn't answer the door in time when the plumber arrived the first time, I called back immediately and he came back. We only have one bathroom, so this was key for us! However, cost was $145 for 7 minutes of work which I thought extreme. When I called to inquire, the woman who answered just said that's what everybody charges.

They are reasonably price and conscientious.

We just bought a house in Medford and our oil burner stopped working at night. Since we hadn't set up a service yet, no oil company would come to fix it until the morning and wouldn't do the service unless we agreed to buy our oil from them. F.J. Walsh came out, came out an hour after I found them on Angies list. Frank diagnosed the problem, replaced the nozzle, checked the line and the safety valves and in less than an hour we had heat again. Perfect.

Left a message on Sunday morning with their answering service and had a return call Sunday afternoon with a price and the time they would show up on Wednesday. Because their price was about what I'd been led to believe the job would cost, I chose to go with them. One other contact called on Monday with a price higher than L and G. They came on time and on price.

Frank and his crew showed up the day after the boiler arrived and worked 2 full days to complete the job. Very friendly, clean and professional. They did a meticulous job of running a new gas pipe and hooking up the new boiler. His quote was not the cheapest nor was it the most expensive we received, however it was clear he was the most knowledgeable contractor we met with. Overall, a very good experience.

Frank came within the specified time, asked a few questions about the job and then proceeded to do the installation. I thought it was a basic job and was surprised that it took about an hour to complete. After Frank was finished, he explained to me that he spent extra time adjusting the lever for the drain plug. He said that the countertop must have been custom made because there was not the standard amount of space to the wall (he was correct). After all the work was done I asked him a question about my newly installed heating system and he gave me the explanation in detail. He did not charge me for any extra time (at least another twenty minutes). I am very pleased with F.J. Walsh Plumbing.

Frank's wife took my call and scheduled me 2 days later. She is always friendly and accomodating whenever I call. Frank came over with another plumber and did the work mentioned above in a short period of time. They both explained to me in detail not only how my boiler works but also how to care for my boiler throughout the Winter. (I am as unhandy as they come). Also, Frank showed my how the stem valves actually work to moderate the heat on my old radiators. He also taught me how to do the simple replacement of them myself to save me money from having to have a professional out to the house. This is what impresses me about Frank and how he operates. Another unmentioned company in town came to my house when I first moved in, made it seem like these valves were highly complicated to change and charged me $90 to replace one. I have called F.J. Walsh Plumbing a couple of times and each time I do, I get honest reliable service.

Everything went very well. I called on a Monday and made an appointment for that Wednesday. The plumbers called, as promised, Wednesday when they finished their prior appointment, arrived within the scheduled time frame, and completed the work very satisfactorily. The trade-men were very professional and capable.

Frank and his son did all the plumbing work for the bathroom themselves; some of his employees did the other work described above. All were done very well. I was nervous about having any plumbing work done in our house, since I'd heard that messing with old bronze plumbing could result in major problems, and it required a very experienced plumber. Frank and company did not disappoint. They were also all very pleasant to work with, punctual, courteous, and professional. Frank is also honest. I had him in to give me a quote on a new water heater to replace an ancient copper unit, and he actually told me to save my money and keep my old one! Which I found out later from an expert on copper water heaters was excellent advice.

I emailed two people with good feedback but received no response from them. Then my husband called several people and was able to arrange for Walsh to come out within the same week. Of the people he called, Walsh was the first and only business to respond. Their responsiveness got them the job. The plumbers from Walsh were courteous, respectful of my home, and before they left they carefully explained how to adjust the water temperature. Personally it was a LOT more money than I expected it would be, but my husband tells me the charged us exactly the price that they quoted. He was the one who arranged the work. Obviously we didn't have time to shop around. I suppose that with this sort of job, that's understood by all parties involved. With young children in the house one cannot go for very long without hot water for laundry, baths, dish washing, etc! So, almost a thousand dollars later, our hot water is ON again, and we're glad to have moved onward to other projects.

They came and gave an estimate the day I called, and then performed the work the next day. They charged me the estimated price. I would use them again.

Work was performed by competent people, on time and reasonably priced.

FANTASTIC, SHOWED UP ON TIME, FINISHED ON TIME AND DID A GREAT JOB. DID NOT LEAVE A MESS, CLEANED UP AND TOOK ALL THE DEBRIS WITH HIM. VERY PLEASED AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! THE COMPANY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON MY HOME. I WILL REFER THEM TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS THAT NEED WORK DONE. THEY WERE VERY POLITE AND THEY HAD EXCELLENT CLEAN UP.
