I bought a top floor condo in a house built in the 1880s. The plumbing is "quaint" to say the…read moreleast. I wanted a washer/dryer in my unit. All previous owners went down to the basement to do laundry. I tried 5 different plumbers and Daniel Wright was the only one who agreed to plumb in a ventless dual unit for a reasonable price. He did an outstanding job very efficiently. I have used him for so many other things, including installing a new water heater, and a range of other major and minor fixes. He is always responsive, prompt, cheerful, extremely knowledgable and his prices are very fair. I've owned many homes in my life, in many places, and have worked with other plumbers in this area. I know I found my North Shore plumber and am very happy to recommend Danny unreservedly.

It was a Saturday evening, about 4:00 PM and we were about to leave for 2 week vacation overseas,…read morewhen we went into our storage room to grab something and found a puddle of water from our hot water heater. I immediately googled who could replace this in a short turnaround and called one of the "big companies" that does this kind of work. I was told they could come on Monday to evaluate and then depending on the evaluation, they would then schedule what would need to be done, which was a couple days after that. Each step with them cost money too. I couldnt wait that long and looked up more options when I came across Daniel Wright Plumbing & Heating. There were other reviews that were reminiscent of what I was going through. I called and left a message. I received a call back in less than an hour. He asked a few questions about the unit I had, I texted a few pictures and he was at our house the next morning to look at the situation. He gave me a quote when he left and he was at our house the next morning (Monday) when he said he would be, installed the new hot water heater and cleaned up after himself. He did quality work, was reliable, communicated transparently, was polite and professional. He followed-up after to ensure all was working properly. Highly recommend and he will definitely be our first call when in a situation like this again.

We will be using them again fix other old "issues" that need to fix in our old house. We will also be using them for the upgrades we plan to have performed soon. I highly recommend McLaughlin Plumbing to anyone needing an experienced plumbing contractor. Worth the cost

Dan McConnell came by to help with a sink that had been backed up for months, and he did an…read moreincredible job. He was great to talk to, thorough, and genuinely helpful throughout the visit. He also took the time to walk me through what might have been causing the issue, how to help prevent it going forward, and how to spot signs that it could be a larger building-related problem, which was especially helpful since I live in a condominium. Out of all the plumbers I looked into, John's Sewer & Drain Cleaning had the best pricing, and they absolutely backed it up with outstanding service. I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with plumbing issues.

The price was very fair especially considering the effort and mindset needed to resolve the problem. Wouldn't hesitate to call this company again - very grateful for a good and positive outcome to a nasty problem. Thank you, Andre for your patience and hard work.

Their price also included a 3 year service plan. The install was scheduled 3 days after I accepted the quote, others were scheduling 2-3 weeks out. On the day of the installation, the 128 crew arrived right on time, calling ahead to let me know they were on the way. They showed up with a four man crew, 2 installers for the mini-split and 2 electricians. The work was pristine, the wiring was neat, the unit was placed on a pad and looks great! The crew (Paul, Nedim, Nick & Connor) was extremely professional and curtious. The work was completed by 3pm same day. I am 100% pleased with the work and will be using them going forward for all my HVAC needs.

John also clearly knows what he's doing, but as the business owner, seemed rushed to get in and out and I don't think his work was as refined as Mike's. My biggest issue with them is their office staff. They do not return phone calls or emails, no matter how urgent or what the subject is. It took me about 10-12 phone calls just to pay them. Unfortunately, about a week after the project finished, we started having issues, most notably a leaking dishwasher and frozen pipes. Despite several calls, I never heard back from them. I fixed these issues myself, but considering I paid a lot of money for their services, I wasn't happy about this. I also worry about other quality issues propagating. Price seemed high, but my GC insisted on them. Getting them on the schedule was difficult and we saw project delays as a result.

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.

No one should be pressured, misled, ghosted, or lowballed after showing up, putting in the time, and delivering their end of the deal.
