They are excellent. They did good work. Their prices are reasonable, and they are excellent people. I would recommend then to anybody. They are like family. I called them up, and they were here on the next day. Whenever I have had an emergency, they have been here within a couple of hours. I will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I use M J Flaherty for my plumbing services. I had to put some faucets in in my bathroom.

They are great. They are reliable and quick to respond generally. Their price is reasonable for what they do. I have used them for several years, and they have been really responsive on everything. On this particular project, they kind of dropped the ball because I think the guy forgot about it. Once I called and told them about it, they were all over it. I would continue to use them in the future.

We originally contacted him to service the boiler. That was our first appointment with him. This was our new house and we knew that the boiler wasn?t serviced in a while. He came out and serviced the boiler. I asked him if he could just take a minute and look around the basement to see if there were any safety issues that we need to correct. He did point out the issues relating to the water heater, which our home inspector pointed out too. So, we asked him for the quote and he got the quote to us quickly. The price was reasonable and he seemed very knowledgeable. We have asked him to do some additional work in our kitchen.

Their service is always very good. The water heater they installed is having problems. It is the manufacturers fault. The last time they were able to fix the problem. The water heater was under warranty and there was no charge involved. They have always been very helpful. They are very professional. They have been in business for a very long time. They are quite knowledgeable about what they do and they are very reliable. They are a little bit expensive, but they are worth it.
Description of Work: I used M J Flaherty Plumbing & Heating Inc to put in my water heater in 2008. However, they have come a couple of times as I have had problems with it. They came here a month ago.

Description of Work: They installed a pressure regulator on my main water line as it comes into the house. It was a pressure regulator to control pressure in the house and also an expansion tank closer to the water heater.

As an emergency, it went very well.
Description of Work: Our water heater sprang at leak, which we noticed at about 4 pm. I called Flaherty Plumbing, which had a repairman at our house at @ 4:30. He diagnosed the heater as dead and gone, plugged it more securely than we had, and vacuumed up the water on the floor. He called us promptly the next morning with a price of a new water heater, including the service, and came a couple of hours later to install it.

I've hired Flaherty a number of times and I will continue to use him for any and all problems with boilers (steam and hot water) that I have at any of my buildings. I've used at least a dozen plumbers in the past decade and Flaherty is without peer when it comes to their theoretical knowledge of complex systems. This allows them to assess and diagnose tough problems better than anyone I've seen. In this particular case, as noted above, the boiler was burning far too much fuel. Flaherty assessed the problem quickly and fixed it. After seeing him work previously, I now have faith enough in him to leave a lock box on my property and deal with my tenants directly (he's the only contractor I do that with). I also trust his assessment and allow him to make whatever repairs are needed, on his judgement (though he always calls or meets with me to explain the situation). Flaherty and his staff always wear uniforms, have marked supply vans, and are extremely clean and professional in their appearance and work habits. They are punctual and accurate with work estimates, scheduling, and actual work completion. The only drawback is that they are invariably one of the costier estimates. Based on that, I generally use them for more complex work, where their expertise is most important (as opposed to more common work, like replacing fixtures).
Description of Work: A boiler in an apartment building I own was kicking on far too often and using far more gas than expected. Flaherty assessed the system and tested it and quickly fixed the problem.

He is very prompt and the work is done in a very professional manner and is of very high quality. He is not cheap but we stay with him for the quality that he provides.

My home inspector recommended that I have a camera inspection done on the sewer system to make sure everything was ok before I bought my house. Tim from Flaherty Plumbing came out and worked for almost an hour to put the camera down the sewer pipe. Unfortunately, as Tim explained, my house has a "cast iron house trap" that makes it impossible to get the camera down into the pipe. He explained all of this to me in detail and apologized for not being able to perform the inspection, even though it wasn't his fault. I thought after an hour of being out there, I would be charged a decent portion of what they had estimated the inspection to cost. To my surprise, they did not charge me a dime for the time and effort spent. I will definitely call them again for any plumbing work I need done.

Flaherty is not cheap. I would estimate that their labor charges come out to about $150-$175 per hour. But I have continued to use them because they are dependable and the quality of their work is good. They have always arrived on time. The only time there was ever a problem with their work, they returned immediately to fix it at no charge. Their responsiveness is excellent for scheduling work. It's rather poor when requesting an estimate.
Description of Work: I've used Flaherty a number of times. They were particularly helpful when I was having a new floor and countertop installed in my kitchen. I asked them to reinstall the dishwasher and garbage disposer, install a faucet, and do some caulking. I didn't know in advance when the counter was coming, and they were flexible in putting me on their schedule within two days after it arrived.
