Greg came by, quickly diagnosed the issue, and replaced the thermostat instead. The water heater is working perfectly now. He saved me a huge expense and didn't try to upsell anything.

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.

He wrote "Upon arrival I noticed the sewer line was blocked..." I paid $89 for this 'Diagnosis and estimate' I called one of the other referrals, they came & used an auger to clear the pipe for a total of $350!! ER Plumbing was a rip-off!

Nice guy, he did a great job and answered all of our questions. My only issue (if that's what you even want to call it) is that I thought it was pricey for such a small repair. That being said, it wasn't something we were going to do ourselves, so for us, it was worth the $$$. I feel very good about recommending this company - he showed up on time and did a great job.

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.

Andre came on the same day we called (within a few hours, actually) and fixed a nasty and…read morecomplicated blocked drain issue. He was clear about the problem, explained it well and knew his stuff. In spite of the issues and awkwardness of our current plumbing, Andre did not give up and persevered with the blockage (between the bath and the sink) until it was finally resolved. 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.

And this spring they have yet to answer their phone or return any calls.

Jonathan Haigh is the owner Merrimack Valley Plumbing (MVP) in Haverhill Massachusetts. He and his…read morecompany are not just negligent. They are thieves. I contracted MVP to install a Mitsubishi HVAC system in 2024. The list of critical failures during installation is too long to list here, and in fact one of their technicians (the only one who actually fixed the critical issues) was fired for suggesting that I seek recompense for their haphazard installation. But the most alarming concern is the obvious avoidance and deceit by the ownership. I paid for seven MHK-2 remote thermostats, totaling nearly $3k. Those thermostats were never provided, and no refund was ever issued. Jonathan nor anyone at MVP has responded to multiple calls and requests to provide the hardware. Only ghosting. I hate leaving negative reviews but this is beyond unprofessional. It's criminal.

Received 3 estimates, all came back roughly in the…read moresame price range. 128 quoted the OEM Mitsubishi unit that I was looking for, (the others did not) along with handling all the permits & electrical needs. 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.

Ryan was great, tried to keep my carpets/bathroom clean as much as possible and was patient in discussing my options and answering my questions. Surprisingly was able to get an appointment for install on Monday. Jared was also great. Definitely appreciate the small details and concerns to keep the carpet clean like hand carrying both the old and new water heater up 2 flights of stairs. Between the quick response/scheduling time, clean workmanship, and fine attention to detail, happy to say the leaking water heater experience felt less chaotic with 128's help! Total turnaround time, Friday 11pm to Monday 4pm hot water up and running!!
