The price was very reasonable. He also closes up the house for the winter, draining the toilet, pipes, etc. and adding antifreeze. We've given him a key to the house and he's always locked up when finished. On two occasions over the past 20 years we've had a report of a broken (frozen) pipe (town water service) and Tom responded right away. On another occasion I had a neighbor call and report minor vandalism and Tom checked it out as a favor, no charge. He's somewhat laid back, but what he charges is very reasonable and the work is appropriately completed. Very trustworthy, He's busy at spring opening time and winter closing time so you'd be advised to give him as much advanced notice as possible. He recommended the person we later hired to install a conforming Title 5 septic tank and I was pleased with the person he recommended.
Description of Work: I've had Tom Roche open up our summer home for over 20 years, and have been pleased with what he's done. The price was very reasonable. He also closes up the house for the winter, draining the toilet, pipes, etc. and adding antifreeze. We have had him replaced frozen pipes, change outdoor plumbing for the shower and change the shower head.

I thought he did pretty shoddy work. It was sloppy. He didn't really support the pipes like a plumber ought to, I felt. The thing works, there are no leaks. But it doesn't look the best.
Description of Work: They installed a heating system for my basement, including a water line and radiator.

Response from TOM ROCHE
I was very sorry but, the customer did not call me back to discuss any small problems or I would have gone right back over there. When I left the job, everything was working properly and done right.

Tom is always pleasant to work with and he gets the job done. In the past, he has connected one of our bathrooms to the septic system, has installed our washer and gas dryer, replaced a leaking bathtub fixture and outside faucet. His prices are fair. He arrives when he says he will.
Description of Work: Tom's most recent work for us involved removal of our bathtub and replacement with a fiberglass shower enclosure. Additionally, he replaced 2 toilets and a sink. He worked with a carpenter to remodel the entire bathroom space.
