I called Kevin to schedule an appointment to replace an outside faucet. Kevin was so pleasant when he arrived on time looked at it and decided he wouldn't have to replace it. Ballpark figure was $333 parts and labor. Kevin ended up fixing the problem and only charge me 175. I give him five stars because of the honesty and the quality of work. He also gave me good advice about draining my hot water tank so nothing would make it a future problem. read more

Giving "Five Star" a solid five star after having several conversations with Kevin about my newly purchased house. I originally wanted a quote for some upgrades and repairs. Kevin transparently and honestly told me I was better off getting providence water contacted for repairing some of it which I appreciated. When my boiler and radiator were leaking, Kevin's crew came out fast to look at it. Ultimately took a little while to get everything fixed but the guys worked professionally and efficiently to get the job done. The bill came in a little high for just patchwork (no new components or parts were used so it was 95% labor except for some plumbers putty) but it was lower than the "high end" of the quote I got. Despite the cost, the benefit here is you know what you're getting and that (so far based on my experience anyway) is an honest job and reliable company. So, if you're looking for the cheapest, fastest option you probably want to go elsewhere. If you're looking for a reputable company that tells you straight up what's going on, gives you an estimate and sticks to it, then Five Star is your company! read more

Kevin was absolutely useless..came into my home with no intentions of even fixing anything... I don't know how he even call himself a professional Plummer .. his company should be called NO STAR PLUMBING!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! *YELP MADE ME PUT A STAR TO ADD MY REVIEW BUT SHOULD OF BEEN NONE read more

Overpriced; job not completed; service was poor The job was not completed as requested: I asked for a sink repair that included fixing a leaking pipe and repairing a slow flow in the hot water tap. James gave me a quote of $265 to "replace the trap and cut a pipe." I thought this would plead the job. It did not because he did nothing to fix the slow flow in the hot water tap. My complaint was met with excuses: The owner, Kevin, stated that of course the slow water tap was not included for that price. I emphasized I had mentioned this not only to James but also when I placed the order. He took no responsibility for this. The quote of $265 appears excessive. When Kevin came to estimate the cost to finish the job, I asked him what he charges for labor. He refused to say, stating he makes quotes by the job. I asked him how much the pipe and trap would cost. Again, he refused to say. I later discovered that the materials could be purchased locally for about $40. So I was charged $225 for one hour of labor and for the surcharge for the parts. The second quote was excessive with unnecessary work advised: To be fair, Kevin did a thorough job of looking at the underside of the sink and pointing out that the countertop needed replacement. However, he told me the job included changing the two cut off valves, replacing the faucet and an additional item I can't remember (not specified on the quote). The second quote was $665. I asked if it's possible that replacing the faucet would fix the problem. He responded it's best to complete this work because, if done piecemeal, it would cost more. Instead of approving this job, I spent $40 for a faucet and asked a friend to replace it. This solved the problem that Kevin advised I spend $665 to repair. James was more than three hours late: I had an 8 to 10 AM appointment window and asked to be the first customer at 8:00. James said he would try. He called the next morning at 9 AM and said he would arrive as soon as possible but was delayed due to snow (this explanation is dubious: there was no snow at my residence in Providence; nearby areas received less than 2 inches). I informed him in advance that I had to leave at noon and wanted the job done before I left. He arrived at 11:30 and stated it would take him an hour to complete the work. I paid for the job before leaving, trusting that it would be done properly and for a fair price. My trust was misplaced. read more

Kevin called after seeing the review I wrote and came back to my house. He looked at my pipes and noticed that the walls were build too close to the pipes, causing them to knock up against the wall when there was hot water. Unfortunately, there isn't much to be done about it, but I appreciate how he was able to explain the situation. He also noticed a bit of water damage and gave me some tips on the boiler. Very much appreciate the calls ahead of time as well. read more

Woke up early on a Friday to find my hot water heater had let go. Water everywhere and family from out of town staying in my home. Kevin and his team had me back in business before lunch. Pricing that beat the original quote! Stay local and bring this Plummer out, you won't regret it! read more

If youre in a condo building, they may not do your work. I was told by a tech that it's a "pain in the ass" to do condo buildings and they declined the work. read more

True to their name, these guys offer five star service. We had a utility sink in the basement in need of repairs. My previous plumber refused to give me an estimate -- only would come if we paid a 70 dollar dispatching fee and 40 dollars every fifteen minutes. These guys offered a free estimate and did the job much cheaper and quicker than my previous plumber could. Highly recommended! read more

One of the best experiences and service I've seen. I was in need of a plumber to fix my jetted Kohler tub. Was diagnosed as the jet seals and with a $2000 quote. Five Star ( recommended by Kohler) came out, used a camera to determine it was only a cracked p-trap. The bill was pennies compared to the quote. John did a great job and was really professional. Will use the again for any job. Would recommend read more

After talking with a Five star employee about our damaged furnace vent up on the roof, we were told that someone would come to look and take pictures of the vent. NO ONE showed up! We called again the next day and were told they couldn't find our address, so we made it clearer where we are located and again we were told someone would come by the next day, and again NO ONE showed up!! We will certainly never bother with this UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY AGAIN! read more

We clogged our double side kitchen sink. My boyfriend tried everything. We tried two different snakes and drano until eventually we just had to call the plumber. They fixed the blockage it took about 3 hours. They also had to replace all of the piping under the sink. The charge was only 325$. I was very pleased. Very courteous staff! read more

They have been super helpful, courteous and really on time. I will highly recommend them on their professionalism.

I hate, hate, hate to downgrade a business, but here's the story. Kevin installed a stainless sink and repaired a leak in my kitchen. The bill seemed high (actually VERY high), but I trusted him and left it at that. Fast forward about 6 months and we're having our kitchen modestly updated. I intended to keep the new sink originally (it was less than 1 year old!), but two different repair guys asked me about it. I had already noticed the rust starting to appear on the surface. They both (separately and without me asking) told me the sink was a piece of crap and one of them told me if I paid more than $80 for it, I got hosed. Let's just say Kevin charged me a LOT more for it. To be very fair - I should have called Kevin immediately when I noticed problems with the sink. I didn't. That was my fault and why I'm not giving a lower review. He can't fix what he doesn't know about. BUT he did install a poor quality sink and charged me for a premium one. read more

Great plumbing work and really knows his stuff. Kevin came out on short notice to fix our tub and will be working on a major leak issue we have with our upstairs bathroom. He's such a nice guy too! Explains everything and showed me potential issues with other plumbing in the house. He is so helpful. Glad to see there are genuine, good, hardworking people out there. read more

I hired Five Star after I started having issues with my hot water tank. It was rather old and I knew it needed replacing. When I called the woman answering the call was extremely polite and actually made me laugh with her greeting (not because it was corny but because it was genuinely something that made you feel comfortable - it wasn't just the standard "Hi, this is Five Star Plumbing. What." if you know what I mean.) After taking my information Kevin called me back later in the day and was able to give me a quote for everything, which was comparable to other quotes I had gotten. What made me decide to go with Five Star over some other places that may have come in slightly lower in price was these reviews. There is a reason people are giving Kevin and his company 5 star ratings. He was prompt, knowledgable, friendly, and technically went above and beyond what he needed to do to, by definition, "just replace a hot water tank". I would certainly recommend them and certainly use them again. read more

First time using Five Star. Very impressed with professionalism and quality of work. Had a new garbage disposal installed by Five Star, but the new unit itself was defective. When I informed Kevin, he and his team not only helped to troubleshoot the issue, but they brought over a brand new unit, and ensured all was working to our satisfaction. Felt a genuine compassion for me as a customer and will definitely use again! read more

Came on a Friday afternoon and diagnosed the problem right away. They couldn't fix the problem but had a colleague from another company who they contacted for us and they came right away and cleared the problem. I'd give 5 stars but I had to leave my wife with the plumber James before he finished diagnosing the problem and he told me one price before I left and tried to upcharge her after I was gone. Luckily she wasn't having it so I wasn't too fond of that. But otherwise super responsive and reasonable pricing. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this business. Kevin called me back after I requested a quote online to install a new kitchen faucet and a new stand-alone shower assembly and valve. Kevin sent me a quote, and I hired them for an October 30 installation. The sales representative, James, arrived on time, did the installation, used the existing shower valve which saved me from cutting through the rear wall of the shower, and cleaned up after he finished. The cost was $150 LESS than the quote. I would definitely use Five Star again and recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services read more

AMAZING SERVICE!! We had a leak in our water line and after my husband's first two attempts to fix it failed, it was time to call in the professionals ... and that's exactly what we got!! Even thought we called in the afternoon, Five Star said they would do their best to come out the same day! The office staff quickly relayed my call to the field and I received a confirmation within five minutes (!) that they would be out the same day. Once on site, they diagnosed the problem. We got a very reasonable quote and agreed to it. He got right to work and it was done very quickly. I am VERY pleased with the service and took their card so I could share the info with friends! Finding a reliable professional is so important these days!! Thanks Kevin!!!!! read more

I should start by saying that I appreciated that Five Star Plumbing actually answered/returned my calls, were able to accommodate me quickly with a semi urgent problem, quoted a reasonable price, and carried out the work per our discussion. That part was not a problem. However, I didn't appreciate that some innuendo was made towards our babysitter while we were not home (i.e. talk of trying to get her number). It was nothing she couldn't handle, and I think in his mind he was just joking around, but she didn't feel comfortable having this plumbing service back, and personally I find it very distasteful/unprofessional when contractors make any sort of comment along these lines towards young women who are alone in our house. read more

$650 to replace 2 pre excising small sinks ( I bought the sinks for $100 each) talk about rip off..... we're supposed to call 30 minutes before they arrived which they did not.... I would not recommend. read more

These guys were great and reasonably priced. Kevin and his team do quality work and are very clean and meticulous. The results exceeded my expectations. Their scheduling was also fast, easy and simple- there were no worries about waiting for a callback or for someone to get back to you. read more

Had a small leak from the upstairs toilet to the basement. Reached out to Five Star star via yelp yesterday evening. They replied very quickly and were able to schedule service for this morning. The plumbers were on time, efficient and friendly. They identified the issue and repairs all within less than an hour. Pricing was also reasonable. Will use Five Star again for any future plumbing issues. read more

Kevin was very nice, professional, and super thorough! He was very helpful and I'd definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. It took a few phone calls before I could reach Kevin and schedule a date for our plumbing inspection, but I'm very pleased with the results. read more

Called twice never received a phone call back either time. They lost my business before they could even start. Bad customer service.

I am writing to convey how pleased I am with the recent oil to gas conversion completed by Five Star. It is very apparent that Mr. Omar and his company are knowledgeable and quality- conscious professionals who pride themselves on the integrity and quality of their work. I would not hesitate in recommending Five Star Plumbing and Heating based not only on the other customer reviews, but also upon the outcome of the on-time finished project. I could not be more thankful for choosing the right contractor for the job. I will certainly contact this company again in the future. read more

Pretty shoddy workmanship on something as simple as replacing a shutoff valve and outdoor spigot. Poor quality parts. They had to come back to do it right. Come on, a valve and spigot is not rocket science! Lousy attitude too. read more

Kevin recently removed/re-piped some baseboard heating units, and relocated our kitchen plumbing for an upcoming home/kitchen remodeling project. He was very friendly, reasonable, and we fully trust him in our home. I highly recommend Five Star Plumbing and Heating to anyone looking for this type of service. read more

From my initial phone call and initial meeting with Kevin, I felt comfortable that I was dealing with a seasoned professional. He was very knowledgeable and immediately identified our plumbing issue, explaining things every step of the way. Additionally, he went out of his way to identify additional items in our basement to consider servicing down the road. Highly recommended! We will call him again should we run into any issues! read more

Excellent service and great price! Everyone was so polite and professional. Will hire for all future plumbing needs.

Kevin was the 6th plumber in as many months to come and try to fix our toilet. We knew it was something more than just a regular clog. No one else was able to identify the problem, and lots of expensive and outlandish suggestions were made. It had been augured at least 4 times, but no one paid attention to what must have been going on like Kevin did. Kevin came in and decided that something must have been lodged in the pipe, but that the others had somehow missed it. He then fixed the problem--a TOOTHBRUSH stuck in the pipe--in two minutes. He also tested the toilet out, flushing paper several times to make sure it wouldn't clog, and changing the water level, before declaring the job done. I was so happy I was BEAMING. On top of knowing his stuff so very well, Kevin is so polite and courteous, and very friendly. We had a nice chat for a half hour once he was done. What a nice guy! And he loves pets, too. I have never done a Yelp review before, but I am so glad to do it for the first time for Kevin. - Jen read more

I contacted Five Star Plumbing by email on a Sunday night not expecting to hear from them until the next day. The next morning I found that Kevin had responded at 8pm on Sunday night! Although he wasn't the person who could solve the heating issue that I had, he referred me to someone who could. That person (Ken's Heating, 401-525-0730) came this evening (the same day I called him), despite being very busy, and had it solved within 20 minutes. I now have heat during a cold, cold spell and I really appreciate it. I will be contacting Five Star Plumbing and Ken's Heating in the future. Thanks to both of them for taking the time to help me out. read more

It turned out my plumbing issue was very simple. Kevin did not charge me, and I am very appreciative..

Kevin is a great guy, and I have been using him for years. He is personable and professional, and prides himself on being responsive and available. The rare times I have had issues, he has worked to remedy them quickly and seamlessly. read more

Don't hesitate about choosing this company. Kevin was not only a an experienced professional, but he is a really nice guy too. We had a bunch of plumbing work done before putting our house on the market and Kevin did a great job. He got the work done in one day. He explained everything he did and was a pleasure to speak with afterwards. I would hire Kevin again in a second. read more

Five stars for Five Star. I'm a first time home owner on the east side of Pvd, and I have the easy task of simply agreeing with all the glowing reviews that appear here already. Keving was fantastic. I can only hope that some day I find contractors in other fields that conduct themselves and their businesses at this level. read more

Very efficient,reliable, and friendly. Did good job. Had a kitchen sink leak. Fixed it at a reasonable price. Gave me a quote and stuck to the quote. read more

Very good experience. My water heater began leaking and Five Star was very fast and efficient at getting it replaced. Kevin went above and beyond by noticing I had a week left on my warranty and getting us a free replacement (something I never would have expected with the warranty being that close to expiration, and something another plumbing company I had gotten a quote from previously never mentioned). Recommended. read more
