My name is David Aviksis and I am the owner of Mr Fix It Plumbing. I am a licensed Master Plumber and have been plumbing for over 25 years.
I started working for my dad who is the founder of Mr Fix It Plumbing. While I was in school I worked with my dad during the summer and every school vacation. We worked together side by side and he taught me all there is to know about Plumbing. From working with him I learned honesty and communiction are just as important as fixing a leak.
I pride myself in running Mr Fix It Plumbing in the most honest and professional way possible. I truly believe this is what makes me different than most other plumbers.
Please call me and lets get your plumbing project started!
Award winning.

David called back right away after my first call. He told me he could come that afternoon and called later to pinpoint the time. David came when he said he would. He fixed the toilet and had me flush it to be sure it was to my satisfaction, He snaked out the slow bathtub drain and tested it several times to be sure it drained quickly. David then looked at the gutter drain pipe coming out of the ground which is 50 plus years old and has always been clogged. He thought it would not be worth unclogging it but recommended rerouting the gutter, then having the pipe sawed off and filled with cement. I have been using Mr. Fix It for probably the past 8 years. In the past Felix and David have replaced drain pipes from my kitchen (a major job), replaced a toilet, replaced faucet washers, and unclogged drains on a number of occasions. Of late David has done the work, he always promptly returns calls and often comes to my house on the same day that I call. He is consistently professional, and the price is always quite reasonable.
Description of Work: unclogged a very slow bathtub drain gave advice on a clogged gutter drain pipe fixed toilet flush

I spent close $100 on that service. He is good and I called him in the morning and he was there in the afternoon. He was really responsive.
Description of Work: I used Mr Fix-It in December because I had gotten something stuck in my garbage disposal and he fixed that and when he was there he fixed a leaky faucet.

David came out to look at a dishwasher that was not draining. He diagnosed a potential plumbing issue, but also thought that there might be a mechanical issue with the dishwasher. I am going to have an appliance specialist look at the dishwasher next, and then I will have David back to fix the plumbing. He was on time, did not charge me for his short visit, was extremely professional, and was very good with my cats (which I really liked).
Description of Work: David did not perform any services other than diagnosing a few problems. I need to have other work done before he can fix the plumbing.

I'm very happy with David's work. He came in to evaluate the situation and give me an estimate the same day I made the call. He also did the work efficiently and professionally. Compared to other plumbers I have called, he is the only one who was willing to come in to give an free estimate. His price, however not low, is in the lower range compared to others.

David is well spoken, polite, and prompt. He came out in the snow. Other plumbers I left messages for earlier called back hours after David left. It is $110 for a service call + $50 for an extra hour + parts + markup. The last plumber I used was $60 for a service call. David fixed the problem and I have heat again.

We had a toilet that wobbled and did not respond to tightening the screws on the base or a shim. We called Mr. Fixit in the late morning and soke to David Aviksis. He put us in contact with Shimon, who came over the same day, even though the problem was not an emergency. He was courteous, very efficient and professional. He showed us the flange and explained that it was not adequately screwed on the floor. He drilled deeper holes and used longer screws but changed nothing that did not required changing.
Description of Work: Tightening of the flange on which the toilet sits.

Felix came on time, was very professional, and pleasant. He had to leave to purchase a stopper as the old one was no good, he returned within the time frame he said he would. The work was done within a relatively short period of time. Even though he told me there was nothing wrong with the basement shower drain, he snaked it and didn't charge me for it.
Description of Work: I had a leaking shower faucet, a tub stopper that didn't work in the same shower, and a basement shower that was backing up. I called Felix along with two other plumbers, however, he was able to come the following day at 9:00 am.

Excellent. David arrived on time and got right to work, working straight for 1.5 hours (in hot & humid 90 degree heat). It turned out to not be the drain in my house (he snaked 75 feet clear out to the road), but an issue with the city sewer line. I called Boston Sewer & they are expected to come out and check their side of the line. David charged $260 for the time & work, and apologized for not being able to fix the problem for me. This was a very reasonable price considering the work he did, and now I also know that my main drain is completely clear. I will definitely use Mr. Fix-It again. David was courteous, polite, professional, and cleaned up after his work. I would definitely recommend this plumber.
Description of Work: My 2nd floor toilet and shower were backing up into my basement toilet and shower. I spoke with David on the phone who said it was most likely a main drain issue, and he estimated between $300-$400 to correct the problem. He arranged to come to my house in 2 hours to snake the drain.

I called after not receiving replies from two other plumbers that I had attempted to contact. My bathtub was not draining and was filling up with scummy water from both the kitchen sink and my bathroom sink. David answered right away and was here in less than two hours. He quickly found the problem and fixed it. It was fantastic.

Came on time, did the work quickly, was polite and friendly, price $110 seems just a little bit high but that's probably because I think all plumbers charge too much :-). I doubt I would have been able to find anyone to do the job for much less than that.

David is awesome - use him. From the beginning he was professional and very efficient. Assessed problems and instructed me on how to fix as it turned out they were not huge plumbing problems as I thought the unknown kitchen sink leak was going to be $$$ and instructed on fixing on my own going forward. Of course, I did have some issues (shower fixture broke after new installation- faulty fixture) and he came back right away and fixed next day. Two visits- 175.00 bucks- not bad for 3 issues solved promptly.

My kitchen sink was not draining, so I called Mr. Fix It for an emergency appointment on Saturday. They promised that they would arrive about 90 minutes later, and, in fact, the plumber was there 30 minutes earlier. He examined the issue, fixed the immediate problem, and then gave me some good advice about some possible repairs for the entire apartment building. He spent about 15 minutes here, but did not charge me anything. The promptness and professionalism was incredible - I have already told many of my friends about this experience and have encouraged them to call this company.
Description of Work: The plumber emptied the sink of water and then checked the valve underneath the sink - he immediately identified the problem, noting that the longer term solution would involve the main line to the building. He then proceeded to verify his evaluation of the valve problem, which did indeed prove to be the problem. The issue was fixed for the time being.
