Rich Mathews & Son Plumbing & Gas Heating Inc.

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!

Great service - would give more than 5 stars if I could! Rich and Lori took a bad situation (failed combination hot water heater) and helped ease the pain, going above and beyond to provide a solution designed to last and explain the quirks of our new-to-us house / the plusses and minuses of our chosen approach to the system replacement. Prices were fair and very competitive with other plumbers in the neighborhood. They went out of their way to make sure the new system got in fast before the winter cold set in, and were all-around great to deal with - responsive on the phone, transparent about equipment delivery and project updates, and just super kind to us and our nosy dog. Highly recommend!

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!

Rich Mathews & Son installed both our heating system and our water heater in 2011. The service was great, the work was done efficiently, the cost was fair, and Rich provided clear instructions for the very simple maintenance that the systems require. We have had no trouble with either system since installation and Rich has consistently been responsive to our occasional inquiries over the years.

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!

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.

Rich did an exceptional job at our house. We are new homeowners and we were faced with a water heater not up to code. Not only did he go out of his way to ensure that the correct solution was done, but he took the time to explain all the options, listened to our needs and gave us the best pricing- out of three quotes! The job was completed the following day immaculately. He followed up the following day to ensure our satisfaction. An extremely professional and honest person.

Rich Mathews just finished installing a new gas heat and hot water system in my sister-in-law's home in Revere. Rich's attention to detail, constant communication every step of the way and his personal willingness to go above and beyond every step of the way was superb!
I have hired a lot of different contractors for as lot of different jobs in the many years that I have been working on my home, as well as my family's homes. While I have had many good experiences, and some not so good, Rich is by far the best in his field! If you want the job done right and in Rich's case better than right, then look to Rich Mathews as your first and best choice !
Thank you again Rich,

Rich Mathews helped us convert our house from oil to gas heat, and we had a wonderful experience with him. He got to our job ahead of schedule, was incredibly easy to work with, fixed some other various issues he found while he was here, and gets bonus points for bringing treats for our dog (who loves Rich now). The next time we have a plumbing need he’ll be our first call, and we can’t recommend him enough.

I feel like these great reviews still don't do Rich justice! He was absolutely amazing from that first call to the end of the job!
One of the things that stood out the most was how he helped me on the phone. Most companies I spoke to wanted as much info in your first breath as you could get out, and were mad if you missed anything. When I started right in Rich stopped me, asked me my name, told me his, and asked how I was. I knew he was the guy right there. He knew his stuff very well, and was patient when I couldn't answer questions. He came over to check out our very, very, poorly installed water heater and quoted us a very great price. He gave us options, and really seemed like he had our best interests in mind. He was able to come a day later which was faster than we had even expected, and got us fixed up in no time. All while my 2.5 year old bothered him wanting to help lol.
He went above and beyond for us, gave us a great price, and overall just a really nice person. We will never use anybody else.
