Admittedly I don't know much about plumbing or electrical so it was intimidating at first. Shawn was so easy to work with. He showed up on-time, was friendly and got everything working as expected. He had some recommendations for preventative measures down the road but didn't upsell or anything. Just a month or 2 ago something stopped working and he quickly replied and helped me troubleshoot and fix it within minutes (it was user error, but he was still friendly and responsive about it). Really nice guy and I'm glad I went with him. Highly recommended.

I got a call saturday afternoon they would come Monday, When I pushed to have it sooner, with lots of tone, he told me IT WAS THE WEEKEND. He then said they couldn't get my type of water heater. So no hot water, all weekend. They came today (Monday), after he installed it he asked me to sign. I said, the water is not hot yet, so how do I know it works before I sign. (Don't people want to know things work before they sign?) His response was "you will sign or I will make SURE it doesn't work." Reluctantly, I signed. Also, they drained the old one. There was already water there from the leaking but they left it much worse than it was. I would think a plumbing company would shop vac their mess up? Not a great experience. Seems others have had a good experience given their comments.

We're a small collective that shares stories from freelance and contract workers who've been…read moretreated unfairly. This is one of those stories. A contractor was hired by this company to build a fully functional website on a rushed timeline. They were told they were the only person working on the project, and that the urgency was due to the company's former developer being in a legal dispute and planning to take down the live site by June 1st, 2025. The contractor dropped everything to help and finished the site two weeks before the deadline. Over the course of several weeks, the contractor even went to their office multiple times for meetings with the owner's son and other team members, working in good faith to move the project forward.After the work was done, it came to light that two or three other people were also working on the same site, despite the company claiming otherwise from the start. When the contractor followed up for payment, the owner's son who was the main point of contact allegedly said "My boy could do it for less than $1,000, so our initial agreement on price is gonna be a lot less now." He also added he was going on vacation in 15 days and "didn't have time to deal with it." All this while wearing an expensive Rolex. The contractor was told, "Send me the invoice I'll pay you for your time." The invoice was sent immediately, and the son followed up once more saying, "I'll get back to you." After that, he went completely silent no reply, no payment. The contractor was left dismissed and disrespected. The stress and anxiety from this on top of an existing heart condition led to serious mental and physical strain. Legal steps have since been taken. This post is meant to warn others if you're a freelancer, contractor, or subcontractor, be cautious. Get everything in writing, and don't ignore red flags. No one should be pressured, misled, ghosted, or lowballed after showing up, putting in the time, and delivering their end of the deal.

I normally review restaurants on Yelp, but wanted to commend William and Wall's Plumbing & Heating…read moreServices on a job well done. I had a 12-year old kitchen faucet that started leaking and bought a new one to replace it. Similar 2-hole style; base and side sprayer. Usually I would do these relatively simple tasks myself, but I had a busy work week. I used Yelp to reach out to all the local services that had 4 stars or higher. William was quick to respond. A few text messages here and there, and we made an appointment for the next morning. Now, I wasn't there at the time, but coming home I could see it was well done. My wife commented that they cleaned up after themselves and even put all the items we pulled out from under the sink back in. That's service! Communications: 10/10 - Extremely fast to respond and kept me up-to-date while I was at work Price: 8/10 - Competitively priced for the area. Replacement costs ranged from $165 - $300. Wall's was on the lower end of that scale. Service 10/10 - Simply awesome! I would highly recommend based on this experience and will look toward working with them again for future needs.

Dmitriy was right on time, and very thorough in assessing the issue. He was here for almost 3 hours…read moretying to find the issue, but kept going until he found it. We ended up replacing the washer, or else we would have used them for the repair. The only criticism I have is, when he was finished with the call, he was walking towards the door, I followed him asking for an update (I had been in the other room when he was working), he mumbled something about parts and practically ran out the door, and sat in the driveway for 30 minutes. I'm not upset, just thought it was weird and I was a little confused as he didn't explain the issue or give me next steps. But overall, I was happy with the service and would use them again!

My boiler failed and…read moreI was able to get an appointment within several days, this was not an issue because it occurred during the summer and we could survive without hot water. The service call went smoothly, two plumbers/technicians did get to the root of the problem and a new electronic board needed to be ordered. I was immediately charged $320 for a service call that lasted about an hour. Several days later two plumbers/technicians returned with the new electronic boards and some other items that needed to be replaced. I was presented with a bill/estimate for $2,100 with no itemization and when asked I was told their customers like things to be "kept simple." In this way they can supply as many technicians as needed without worrying about costs... Logic does not add up. So, they are competent and have fixed my problem, but I have issue with their honesty. You can make your own decision but, be sure to get a few estimates for your job.

I first dealt with NETR a couple years ago when they were one of the City of Somerville's official…read morepartners on a heat pump (ductless mini split) installation campaign. We wanted to install a 1 or 2-zone system, but my condo has a number of unique complications, though, so we weren't able to go forward with the project at that time. Fast-forward a couple years, and we decided to revisit the idea. We also decided to go big or go home this time, with a 5-zone system for the whole house. This time we got estimates from two other companies first, but one provided an extremely high quote and the other basically said that we were asking an impossible job that they could not do. So we reached out to NETR again, and it worked out great. The NETR price was literally more than 10K less (!!!) than what we were quoted by the other company, and they took care of all the secondary project burdens like City of Somerville building permits, upgrading our electrical service, etc. They gave us a clear idea of what to expect in terms of construction disruption, the workers were friendly and unobtrusive, and they finished the work right on schedule. It's too early to speak with certainty about the quality of the system we installed, but we are thrilled to finally have this project complete, and are very satisfied with the pricing, service, and installation work.

My wife and I called Netr but a Sila truck showed up so I assume everyone talking about them being…read morea past reputable company and now being terrible is true. We called because our central air shut down. A technician ( Eric) showed up and immediately figured out it was just a faulty capacitor. We were told it would cost about $ 600 to repair with a one year warranty but if we wanted a better capacitor with a 5 year warranty the cost would be about $850. I asked him why it was so expensive if its a simple job and the part is low cost and he mumbled something about overhead and the cost of doing bussiness. When we got the bill it was $979 with the diagnostic added in. Ive since looked up the going rate for this work and it runs around $150-$300 so we were charged triple the normal cost. I really feel like my wife and I were taken advantage of because we are both elderly. Please avoid this preadatory company at all costs.
