Nicest guy ever, di great work at a seriously reasonable price - suffice to say we have a new regular plumber!!! :)

In 2020 we moved and had to call a plumber for a toilet leak/replacement. We told them it was NOT…read morean emergency, but they showed up that night and charged us triple what a plumber at our former house charged (same work, also after hours) 5 months previous, so we were wary. In early 2021 we did a major kitchen and laundry renovation on our current home, CRoy was the plumber who worked with our contractor and did all new plumbing ( a slab ranch - no basement). Both the owner and his assistant were prompt, professional and neat. October 2022 - bathroom renovations. Same excellent work (same assistant - always a good sign.) They will do what you request but will tell you what is best and what is necessary. (My husband requested some "just in case" additional piping for possible future remodeling that added cost.) We were delighted to pay a very reasonable bill for such excellent and timely work.

Complaints? Hard to get appointment because he was so booked up, but that's because he does good work.

Only way to pay was by writing a check unless I phoned the office which I never thought to do. But excellent quick and efficient work so I really can't complain.

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.

6/11/26 - 2nd major project with Cranney. Completed on 6/8/26. This was an HVAC + Electrical. If…read moreyou'd like to skip the blurb, overall I'm quite happy and would highly recommend Cranney. Now to the details, I wanted to accomplish a few things on the property, HVAC being one of them, and this ultimately also led to an Electrical upgrade. I had Dave, the project manager from HVAC, and Alex, the project manager for Electrical, come on site for separate meetings to discuss my needs and provide their suggestions. I decided, after reviewing a few offers, to go with Cranney even though it was a little more expensive as it's a single company to work with vs trying to coordinate with different companies. I also didn't want to run into issues in the future that would involve finger pointing and with me being the intermediary. In terms of the actual work done, this is where the team shined. Orlando, the lead electrician, crushed it and did an amazing job. He's meticulous, detail oriented, and didn't leave a mess behind. He did the type of work I'd do, with attention to detail and asked for my opinion throughout (placement, educating me, etc). Hard to find that level of quality... Drew, the lead HVAC technician, also crushed it and provided feedback throughout. He also buttoned up any concerns I had during the project. Eric, Orlando's manager, was also a rockstar, the man hustled to ensure Orlando and team's success. I did opt for completing everything in parallel, glad I did as it was a large project and would have ran for 2 weeks if not done in this manner. I'll wrap up by saying this, they addressed any concerns, without much fuss, and did a great job. What more can be expected? I'll be sure to reach out for future large projects or for any repairs / maintenance on what they've already installed. 10/15/21- This business is phenomenal, thanks to the help I've received and the great install they've delivered. I had reached out to Patrick through a family friend (had a similar install performed), as we were seeking options to replace a 30 year old boiler. Prior to then, I reached out to numerous businesses and most business never responded back. Patrick came out the following day, assessed the situation and provided the quote onsite. The team, led by Frank, came out the following week to perform the install. As for the install itself, special kudos to Frank and his team, they came out and completed the job in two days. I can tell they're passionate about what they do and the quality of the work certainly shows throughout. I'll be reaching out to them in the near future for additional HVAC work and the annual maintenance. Thank you again gentlemen!

**SCAM ALERT PLEASE READ*** It has come to my attention that the technicians of Cranney's LIKELY…read moreGET A COMMISSION off their sales. Please keep this in mind and consider a second opinion if they give you a large quote. This is my story: My elderly mother contacted me in a panic after she had a technician named Ryder come to her house to check/clean her heating system. Somewhere in the process, he told her that her entire heating system needed to be replaced and would roughly cost her $15,000...AND he gave her a DEADLINE of 3pm that day to get back to him or that price would change. Please note that her heating system works and is not broken. I decided to contact Cranney's on my own and ask one simple question: "Do your technicians get a commission on their sales?" I was placed on hold so the operator could consult the manager. When she returned, I was told the manager was at lunch and would call me back. I then asked for an assistant manager or someone else that might have the answer. She then asked "What is this in regards to?" (I am not sure why she asked that again, as I only asked that one question). Sensing the defensiveness in her voice, I decided to tell her that I wanted my technician to receive a commission because "he did a wonderful job". She sounded relieved and more willing to seek out an answer. She put me on hold again. When she returned she told me that she could "not disclose that information"...this was enough for me. If a technician charges 15K for a job and gets 5% commission, that's a $750 addition to his paycheck. Please keep in mind I never got an official answer, however if the answer was "no" then it would've been simple. Offering commission on services like this without guardrails, is a corrupt incentive for technicians with no integrity and an easy way to con old women into spending money they don't have on something they don't need. Not to mention the coercion technique used causing unnecessary panic by telling her that a decision needs to be made TODAY...or else. Also, you should know that the manager never called me back. I have no interest in telling them how to operate, I can only offer my experience with the hope that the consumer is better informed. Please consider a second opinion when using their services.

I have used Rich for over 10 years for various plumbing needs, including water heater…read moreinstallations. Rich is a real professional who not only loves what he does, does it well, but also really cares about his customers. Last night, my water heater kicked the bucket. I called Boston Water Heaters at around 9 pm to leave a message and Rich answered. Yes, he answered at 9 pm. Rich fit me in and came out today to install a new water heater for me. He came when he said and charged me what I knew to be a fair price. I will not use anyone else for this service. The care he has shown to me when I've been in a pinch has earned him my loyalty as a customer. Thanks Rich!

I called Rich at the beginning of December to talk about replacing my ancient (1982) furnace and a…read morewater heater that was starting to hurt. Add in that I was trying to do it through Mass Save with a heat loan. Rich came out to my house on a Saturday to look at the job and give us the quote we would need to get the heat loan. He had the quote to me that same day via email and he dropped off a paper copy the next business day. He's forthright and honest and he started teeing up the special pieces we would need while we were waiting for the bank to approve the loan. He was very responsive the whole time and was good about giving me a call for updates. Because of the jury-rigged nature of the old furnace, he told us it would take two days, possibly three, to get the old one out and the new furnace and water heater in. He got the water heater in and running on day one so that we could use it. He worked late on a Friday to get the furnace done right before the temperatures dropped down below 20. The new ductwork, venting, and drain for the condensate are all really well done. You can see the quality of his work. It is well below freezing outside, and this is the warmest my house has been since I bought it. He even came back after the install was complete to change an exterior fitting for the air intake because he wasn't happy with the part he had on hand when he did the job originally. 10/10 I would go back to Rich for any work I needed done.
