The plumber (Greg or Craig) came over to fix the faucet in the bath tub and told me he'll need to replace it and I said sounds good call me if you need something and I went to the living room to work.He calls me and shows me the detached faucet and tells me something and I said "that's a lot of calcium buildup" and the guy says "the house is old" and goes on and says something about the door frame which I don't really understand. I told him "the house is old and you can feel the floor slanted" and the guy goes "the house is settling in" and somehow become condescending and lecture me to say "if you want to live in a new place go live in a new place" and I'm thinking what is this guy talking about.He continues to say things in an aggressive and condescending ways and I'm just thinking how bizarre this situation is. Having to tolerate this rude and unpleasant person. Just unprofessional and unpleasant. Guarantee this is not the first time the person acted like this and most likely not the last time either.
I've been using Alewife for years. They have always done great work. I recently had a new toilet installed that also required repiping and the final cost came in below their estimate.
Can I give 20 stars? Absolutely the best. Professional, kind, thorough -- and they came in well under the quote. Thanks to Mike and the entire team. Don't call anyone else!
I had my furnace inspected to see if everything was working properly. There have been starts and stops. But, Alewife has responded well!! They are always ready to fix problems and show up on time! I've done business with Alewife for about 20 YEARS!! I plan to stick with them.
Alewife Plumbing was terrific. As part of a new kitchen in a 10 unit condo in Brookline we had to have a building drain down to replace the hot and cold water shutoffs which we old and not closing completely. We scheduled the work with Alewife and the property manager. Alewife arrived bed as scheduled and completed the drain down and valve replacement. They also made suggestions about where the valves should be located for easy access. Overall fantastic work!
