Testimonials

Rich is the perfect plumber, returns call and emails promptly, visits site and accesses the task with short notice, gives a quick and competitive quotes. But the big asset is he is an excellent craftsman who provides outstanding quality workmanship. I will always use him on all my plumbing needs.

I contracted Rich to replace a forced hot water boiler and electric hot water heater. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, focused on doing the right thing for a very reasonable price. I had tenants that had no heat and cold weather fast approaching. Rich was responsive, and took the time to make sure he was doing things right. While on the phone, Rich looked at the property on Google maps to understand how he was going to get the new boiler in, came over after hours to check over things and take measurements. I got multiple bids from other contractors, and Rich was the only one to provide open, honest recommendations that had my best interests in mind. He pulled permits, showed proof of insurance and was accommodating around my work schedule. Not only that, but his relationships with others in the industry proved immensely helpful, including a referral for a very competent electrician, and being on first name basis with the inspector. I have no doubt my job was done right. His knowledge and attention to detail are top notch and I would highly recommend him.

After being told my hot water heater was in "imminent failure" I reached out to Rich, and he was able to help me within a day. I shared photos of my heater and Rich provided a quote over the phone. Upon installation, it became clear it would not be a cut and dry replacement - Rich meticulously checked pipes, exit points, etc. to ensure that my building and I were safe, and fixed unexpected issues that came up. All while sticking with his original quote. Rich was amazing - super friendly, professional and obviously cares about his work and clients.

Rich went above and beyond assisting with maintenance to my boiler. He was on vacation and took my call because my boiler wasn’t working in winter temps. He walked me through all the steps of getting my boiler working until he was back to service it. I would have been without heat that day without him! He cares a lot about his customers and provides a top notch service!

I contacted Rich to replace my 15 years old water heater and he returned my call within an hour. I shared photos of my heater over text and Rich provided a quote right away. That was my first time I needed to replace a water heater and didn’t know much about it, but he answered all my questions explained all the options I have and gave me very reasonable price.

Rich is extremely professional and honest person, and he really cares about his customers, their safety and makes sure that the job is done right. After the service he did follow up to make sure everything is okay and there are no issues.
He really went above and beyond for me and provided an exceptional service. I will definitely turn to him in the future, and I can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you again Rich!

Rich was awesome! We were in a real bind with no heat due to the Columbia Gas leaks in my area. Rich came in and worked long days through the weekend in order to get us back up and running. Incredibly thoughtful and trustworthy. Can't thank them enough!

We appreciated them coming out on short notice, fair price and attention to workplace safety with regard to COVID-19. If you are looking for professional, honest and straight forward plumbing experience. Call Rich Mathews and Sons. Great job! Thank you!

I called Rich at the beginning of December to talk about replacing my ancient (1982) furnace and a water 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 worked late on a Friday to get it 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.

We had to replace our gas hot air furnace recently and placed a call to Rich Mathews & Son to give us a quote to do the work. He had previously installed a water heater at our house and did a great job at a fair price so we didn't hesitate to call him again. He just completed the installation of our new gas heating system and everything went smooth from start to finish. He explained to us exactly what needed to be done and he made sure that the project is completed as promised at a price that was again unbeatable. I would highly recommend that you contact them for any similar work you need done and I will be sure to hire them again if the need arises! It was a pleasure working with him!

Rich Matthews, and Sons. Plumbing and gas Heating! If you are looking for any work to be done I highly recommend This company. I've had a few less than satisfactory companies give estimates for my HVAC replacement and they all were say okay. The fact that Mr. Mathews came explained to me and the wife what was involved in the process and answered all our questions and concerns about the installation process put us at ease. As a home owner I've had the pleasure of the high pressure sales tactics by salesman who say anything to make the sale.no Rich! The Quality of the installation exceeded any work I've seen done, no rush no fuss no muss. And to boot an all around professional who's work speaks for itself. I Highly recommend this company for the quality of work and the knowledges and expertise he brings to the job. Also impressed by his character Honest as the day is long. You can use another company but I doubt that you will get the Quality and satisfaction that Rich brings to any work site. So in closing I can tell you that you can try the rest, but if you want the best this is the person you want,. Definitely a Five star rating for this company. So if you want it done rite the first time call Rich Mathews & sons.
I'm glad I did! You will be to,
