John Silva is an experienced plumber that's fair, earnest and competent. He came through for me, during this unusually long cold spell, when other plumbers are just too busy to even return messages. After a week of unsuccessful quest for plumbing help, finally contacted John and he came out on a Saturday in spite of it being his day off. He worked diligently--even skipping lunch, repaired all the bursts, replaced and installed shutoff valves, and restored the heat and hot water with a full day of non-stop work. I'm grateful that John was available to help during my state of emergency and distress.
Description of Work: I was away for the Christmas holiday, and my heating system failed to kick on. I returned to a home that was completely frozen inside with multiple pipe bursts in every room. Complete shutdown of water to the heating system, hot water service, and bathroom facilities.

If there were an A+ for professionalism they would receive it. We will likely need new heating units in the future and I won't hesitate to purchase them from this company.
Description of Work: They did maintainence on our heaters and a/c units. Purchased a service plan.

I sent a request for some plumbing work. It's been a week and I've gotten no response. Even if he was not interested in doing the work, I expect a response that says so

Description of Work: Silva Plumbing was dispatched by Lowe's to install a dishwasher, garbage disposal and new faucet. While Silva Plumbing was there they ran a water line to my refrigerator for the automatic ice maker. Lowe's only sold me labor to install a replacement unit, but Silva Plumbing was able to do all of the work in short time. | |The tech even started to clean trash that had accumulated under my refrigerator when he rolled it back after installing the water line. Very thorough job with great results!

Description of Work: John's been doing plumbing work for me, in several different houses and renovation projects over more than a decade. The most recent job was installing a gas-fired tankless water heater, which went smoothly, involving running new hot and cold water pipes and a larger gas line across the basement.

John was very professional and polite, and is a straight-shooter. He does good work at a reasonable price. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: We wanted to turn a closet in our basement family room into a 1/2 bath (sink and toilet). I had several quotes from other contracting companies that were much higher, but John came recommended by one of these (after they were very honest and said they could not do the work cheaply, within my budget). In any case, John came out and gave an honest assessment and suggested that we could connect the plumbing into the main drain and use a gravity fed toilet. He was very optimistic but also reasoned it out. All the others had said we should use a pump toilet. He performed the plumbing for the main drain, hot and cold to the sink, sink drain, supply and drain for the toilet, all at a reasonable price. He seemed very honest and gave good, reasonable advice without steering us toward more expensive options. He came over a period of a few weeks, several times, and followed up to let us know what he had done. At the end, he made sure we were happy and waited a week or two before asking for the remaining balance, which was very thoughtful.

Since joining Angie’s List, I have found some great contractors and tradesmen. This evening, it occurred to me that I have yet to write a rave review for John Silva. He is the "perfect plumber." He has worked with me since 1999 and I “always” refer him to friends and family. Although I am not sure if Angie’s List existed back then, I wish that I posted this review twelve years ago! John most recently rescued me from a flooded basement and cold showers when he came first thing in the morning, shortly after I left him a message when I realized the situation with the hot water heater. By the time I came home from work, I had a brand new hot water heater with all details related to the warranty handled for me. The old hot water heater was removed by John, so I did not have to bother with arranging for a trip to the local dump. Over the years, John has helped me with a variety of plumbing tasks: installed new dishwasher, toilets, sinks, in-sink garbage disposals; changed condensation pump drain hose for A/C; replaced thermocouple in boiler; and installed frost free outside faucets. He even came and assessed my entire property (for free!) when I was trying to determine why I received a $3,600 water bill from the City of Newton. A true professional, John is so reliable and his number is being programmed into a lot of cell phones these days. It's time that I share his name and number with folks on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Installed a new 10 year, 50 gallon gas water heater with two new ball valve shutoffs on hot and cold. Removed old gas water heater.
