except plumbing and heating company clean work and always satisfying the client. I'm very satisfied as a customer

I Had an issue with my hot water heater and needed a replacement as well as vent work since the vent was not correct and was burning from the exhaust of the water heater. I googled Plumbers near me and saw Paul's page. I called left a message and was called back the next day. We had several back and forth conversations which lead to Lee and Scott (Paul's Associates) coming to my home to look at the issue. Paul showed up a few minutes later and mentioned how he had never seen an issue like mine. Shortly after, all three guys left. Lee called a few moments later and quoted me $2,900! I agreed to have the work done since A: There was a fire hazard B: There was a carbon monoxide hazard and C: the hot water heater was shutting off on me. Soooooo after a bit of looking around (sticker price set in) I contacted Lee and told him to hold off on the water heater replacement. I ultimately decided to go with another plumber who not only came on a Saturday to check out my issue, but charged me $1100 less, yes I said LESS than Paul Foukas did. The job was completed in about two hours and I now have a nice industrial water heater installed and saved myself $1100 dollars! This is my first home and my first major home repair. Do yourself a favor and get a few estimates. If you want the info of who I used, contact me here in yelp. I'll be happy to share. read more

Paul Foukas Plumbing & Heating - Plumbing Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

It's never ideal to need someone in an emergency but yesterday we woke at 3:30 to find 4.5 inches of water in our entire basement and a non functional sump pump (thanks previous owners!). I frantically called every plumber with a '24 hours' next to their name. By 6am I had been lead on, and around by 3 different companies. One told me to do it myself (that's helpful) and one had given me an outrageous quote of 575 dollars (that's with me providing the pump). While in Lowes I got a call from Lee (from this company) and he said he could come about 11-12 ish depending on two small jobs before it. He said that quote before was insane it would not cost that much. So we continued to surface pump, shop vac, and bail water in the meantime to try to get the level down as much as we could. The only part of all of this that would maybeee have made me take a star off (but I won't) was when Lee and his assistant arrived he looked into the basement and goes, 'Oh I don't think I can work in this' which was only a 1/4 inch of water left on the floor. I think he saw the exhausted looks on my husband and my faces (we had been standing in this cold, deeper, water all night) and continued. He liked my selection of sump pump (thanks) but needed a fitting and some PVC because the one attached was fragile and snapped on him. So they ran to Lowes and grabbed what they needed and we had a working sump pump that basically eliminated the rest of the water in 10 minutes. It's been running about ever minute since then, for almost 24 hours, so that's why we had the flooding in the first place. He charged us 250 which I thought was pretty fair. I'm sure had I not had this done in an emergency situation it would have maybe been a bit less but it again it was emergency, and a Saturday. See the difference with charging someone out the nose when they're in crisis is that's a one time job. Lee and this company will likely hear from me again for other jobs in the future because they were honest, and fair and didn't take advantage of someone in a tough situation. read more

Since Paul's ugly divorce, his ability to show up promptly or at all has plummeted. His plumbing is top notch, his estimating and carpentry skills are below average. He has taken a significant up front payment for work but after 12+ weeks he has yet to get even 1/2 the job done on installing new furnaces and new gas hot water tanks. You should look at all your options read more

Paul Foukas Plumbing & Heating - Bath install parts - Plumbing Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

What can I say Paul Foukas was awesome! Found him on yelp and I couldn't be happier. We needed a gas dryer disconnected. Paul was very professional, friendly and most of all thorough with his work. I highly recommend him. We recommended Paul to our neighbor and they ended up using him. Like us they were of course happy and pleased with his service. I will of course continue to refer him to our friends and family. If we ever need a plumber in the future he will certainly be the first person on our list . read more

My bath sink broke , as I dropped a glass container from the above . I called Paul and he scheduled me immediately. He arrived when he said he will and he did the replacement in no time! Thank you for such a great job and for your professionalism! Highly recommended. read more

Paul Foukas Plumbing & Heating - Plumbing Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

I called Paul and he answered immediately. I just purchased a new washer and a gas dryer. In the state of Massachusetts, you need a licensed plumber to install the dryer. I was in dire need of clean underroos! Paul asked me for my contact info, as he was driving. Within a half hour, his partner, Lee called me and said he would be over within the hour to do the job. Lee was very personable and professional. He got the job done. Same day! No waiting! Paul stopped by and gave the once over and pointed out some other areas of opportunity and explained them well. I appreciated his candor and his honesty. Lee does general contracting work and was kind enough to measure my front and rear doors for new ones. He told me to see what I liked and to call him before I purchase. I will definitely be doing so and will most certainly recommend Paul and Lee to anyone!! read more

My Hot Water Heater gave out and filled my basement with water. Contacted Lee by phone off of the website. They showed up within a couple of hours and completed the job quickly. They used quality parts and did a very professional job. I'd be quite happy to use their services again in the future. Recommend to everyone in need of plumbing assistance. read more

I hired Paul Foukas plumbing to move a pipe so I can put the kitchen sink on the other side of the room. I also had some problems with my radiators that needed to be fixed. They did an excellent job, were very fairly priced and I would definitely hire them again. read more

I called because a person who I don't think was a certified plumber told me I needed a $2,000-$4,000 repair. And I didn't trust him because once a broken drain was removed , I had no problems. I called this Co and the owner, Paul, was so helpful and saved me a lot of money and stress! Will def call if I have any plumbing problems in future. read more

If you want an honest guy, who does a great job and "doesn't" try to screw you - then you want Paul Foukas. Nutshell: my sink piping that ran from the kitchen down into the basement was replaced and they did a great job. I've read many plumbing horror stories before going with my gut and hiring Paul and I certainly made the right choice. Afordable as well. Paul is nothing like the "horror story" plumbers. Hire these guys! You will be happy that you did! read more

Although he couldn't help me in my emergency boiler fail the other night, he was kind, helpful, informative, compassionate, and fast getting to my home afterhours and didn't charge me. He is an amazing person and tried to help just because I had a newborn and was a little frantic. I would hire him as a plumber in the future. Awesome person. read more

I was having new counter tops installed and the granite shop finished faster than expected. They called me with less than 24 hrs to get a plumber to disconnect plumbing and rip out existing sink. I called Paul on a Sunday afternoon and he referred me to Lee. Lee called me back promptly and made a plan to come by early the next morning to get it done. The job was not easy since the current sink was cemented into the existing counter top. Lee and Scott both stay committed and managed to remove the sink after having to chop it in half to remove it. They also came back early the next morning after the granite had been installed and hooked up the new faucet, sink and garbage disposal. On his way out the door, I showed Lee a problem with a back storm door off its hinges and he also fixed that for me. Highly recommend and would use them again in a heart beat. read more

Paul and his son were incredibly helpful. I had an emergency problem with my kitchen sink and needed it fixed within a few hours because I was hosting people that evening. They came out early on a Saturday morning and, a few hours (and a few hundred dollars) later, I had a new disposal and a functioning sink. I'll definitely use them again. read more

The circulation pump for the hot water broke down Tuesday night. I called Paul Wednesday morning at 7:45AM and he was at my house at 11:00AM. They came with a replacement pump, installed it and were out by 12:00 with the hot water running again. They looked at the rest of my heating system and made some recommendations which I will follow. They were very responsive, engaged in their work and enjoyed what they were doing. Price seemed reasonable to me. I recommend them and I will call them back again. Update 2/5/16 Paul had to come back on a failure that was subsequent to the previous job he did. The failure was somewhat related to the work he did before but not to Paul's fault or negligence. A valve that was attached to the pump he replaced previously just happened to malfunction now too. Paul responded to my call immediately and came in the next day as promised. He called me in the morning to keep me informed about his schedule and pinpointed the time he would arrive. Paul and Lee fixed the malfunctioning valve free of charge. Their concern was to not to nickel and dime me but to leave me as a happy customer. I rated them 4 stars in my previous review because I was happy with the service and I rarely give 5 Stars. This one is a 5 for exceptional responsiveness and taking ownership of the problem. I recommend Paul and will use his services going forward. read more

This is the most fairly priced and most efficient plumbing company I have ever had in my home. I had a pipe issue in my basement and a few other problems (including toilet and bathtub). Lee and Paul Jr. were the plumbers that came by and when Lee noticed there was a few lights out in the kitchen he fixed them right away with no questions asked!!! No charge. They both seemed to be happy to help me in my time of need. What a great experience. The last couple of times I have had issues in my house I had companies over charge me and the job wasn't even done properly!!! I won't be going to anybody else for plumbing problems... thats for sure! read more

Like me, you're probably on yelp looking for a plumber. I'm not reviewing Paul's work, just his approach to new customers. I reached out and spoke with Paul regarding significant water damage in my condo. I was pretty excited that I found someone competent sounding who was going to help with this urgent need. But no callback for days from Paul. When I reached out, he said he hadn't bothered calling back as there wasn't "enough money for him in the job" and getting to my part of town was "a hassle." Here's to new business! read more

We paid Lee to fix our leaks in the basement. Which included heat and gas line. The final inspection failed due to gas line STILL leaking. Along with 3 others spots in the basement. Mind you we had already paid to fix everything. A contractor by the name of Michael pak is the one that hired him to do all the plumbing in the house during the renovation. We aren't the ones to call him therefore cannot compensate for the additional fee he is asking. Price was already included in our renovation. Also have proof in emails and text messages. He is now asking us for 1200 dollars that was supposed to be paid by MICHAEL PAK. And that he will not fix the gas leak (something hes supposed to as told by city inspector) until he is paid, he even threatened to sue us and not release the forms if we didn't. It has been such a hardship for us to complete this house, and this being our first real home it's very upsetting. On top of that we are dealing with someone else's problem. I urge you to Save yourselves the trouble and stay away. We are in the middle of a lawsuit as we speak. read more

Unfortunately, I can't review based on service as the when I spoke to Paul he hung up on me. This is my first time needing a plumber so I mentioned what the job is and asked what the process is- is there a quote, based on description does he have an idea of cost, how does it work- turns out "he wouldn't give a quote for that job and wouldn't take the job because its not worth it, call someone else" and hung up...maybe a reference of a colleague that does smaller jobs, or a recommendation of what might need to be looked at considering it clearly isn't worthy of a plumber, maybe even, thanks for calling or goodbye would be satisfactory, but hanging up on me mid question, not impressed. read more

We had major issues with our sewer line and downstairs toilet. We called Paul after having a clog removed by a local drain cleaning company to fix the pipe that had burst. Paul scheduled us that day, and when his initial work didn't alleviate the problem, he came back almost immediately. In fact, he came a total of four times and wouldn't rest until the problem was solved. It ended with him replacing the toilet, quickly and efficiently. He treated me with respect, yet got right to the point and was willing to work with me to identify the problem. He was beyond reasonable when it came to pricing. I am so grateful to Paul for his dedication to me as a customer in this matter! read more

Woke up on the morning of New Year's Eve and had no hot water. Dreading the thought of starting the new year without a shower, I jumped on Yelp and started dialing. Struck out twice (1st no answer, 2nd not in service area), but won the lottery on the 3rd try. Paul answered and told me he was tied up until noon, but would come by then. Paul and Lee showed up promptly at noon, were very pleasant, complimented and petted our cat, and managed to get the water heater started back up within minutes. I couldn't ask for more and I would call them back in a heartbeat! read more

Paul answered my call within 1/2 hr which was surprising. He set up to come to my home for the next day and we has some mis-communication (on my part) but he arrived promptly the following day and was done in a short time. Great guy, great work. He is my new plumber, I highly recommend Paul. read more
