Report
I contacted Trethewey Bros. As I need a new boiler and was also interested In a new hot water heater. Brian ca.me out on. 5/19. Today is 6/7. I was told by Brian that he would write up the estimate and email it. I have since left Brian a voice mail, called and spoke with receptionist twice, one older sounding woman said he is very busy, next younger sounding woman said he was out sick. She went and looked on his desk, said estimate was not done and asked if I still wanted it?
Why would I have this man come into my home top to bottom and not want the estimat? She confirmed my email, but still nothing. Trethewey Bros is a company I have used several times for my home as well as my brother's home who I dealt with his matters. I am completely disappointed in the lack of professionalism by this company. Being out or busy does not negate providing the consumer with a promised estimate after 3 weeks

Paul and John came to my home to connect my kitchen plumbing, installed the faucet and garbage disposal. They work great as a team. They were on time, very pleasant, courteous and efficient. I would definitely recommend TBros to anyone. Services: Garbage disposal installation, Faucet installation

Eddy from TBros came out to our home today in Jamaica Plain Ma. He did a wonderfully job. He was professional, timely, and transparent about the work he did to fix our plumbing issues. I really appreciate that their team has wonderful lines of communication and he was able to take a look at a past issue we had, which he put in to be repaired at a later date. I am very pleased with his professionalism. TBros is the way to go!

Wish there was an option for 0 stars. They had originally installed a new hot water heater last year and I was running into issues every other day where the pilot light was going out. After having to manually reset the pilot light every other day to have a warm shower and having the Trethewey Brothers team come out multiple times to try to resolve the issue, we got nowhere. I wasted hundreds of dollars replacing parts and 20+ calls to Trethewey Brothers with no response.
I had to resort to using a different company who solved the problem immediately (which Trethewey Brothers couldn't identify after multiple visits). Would not recommend Trethewey Brothers to even my worst enemy. Call someone else if you need help!

The tech came out quickly and was very friendly. We knew what the problem was, but wanted to get a quote on the cost to repair the leaky faucet. He suggested 2 different solutions and a rough estimate of cost and time, then charged us $165 for the "consultation". He was here for approximately 10 minutes. This is the first time a tradesman has charged us a fee just to take a look.

I had a tankless water heater installed. The TBROS crew, led by Brandon, did a great job with the installation, they were professional, courteous, responsive and the end result looks and functions very well. And Brandon came back promptly the next morning to finish a small item. Terrific experience so far. Service: Water heater installation
