Floros Plumbing & Heating did excellent work on our basement remodel. Rick provided a fair quote, coordinated multiple visits around the contractor’s schedule, and updated the old plumbing, water line, gas line, drainage, and bathroom sink. The work was high quality, and we would definitely hire them again

Great experience from start to finish! I had my water heater replaced last night at 8:30 PM, and they were able to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The best part was that they saved me $1,200 compared to the other quote I received. I really appreciate the fast, professional service and would definitely recommend them!

Like that of so many other reviewers, our experience with Floros Plumbing and Heating was exemplary. Petros responded quickly to our inquiries and fixed a list of plumbing issues, minor and major, that had plagued us for years. His experience is impressive, his advice is very helpful, and his prices are fair. Thank you for the terrific work, Petros - you're a rock star!
Paul Kowert -
Petros was a superstar when we had an emergency with a dead water heater. He replaced and hauled way the next day(a Sunday) and the work was done professionally and at a fair price. Plumbing Hall of Fame!!

I recently had my 75-gallon gas water heater replaced, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Petros Floros and team were professional, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable. They walked me through the process, answered questions thoroughly, and completed the installation efficiently with minimal disruption. The work was clean, well-organized, and met all expectations for a proper installation, including attention to safety and code requirements. I was most pleased by the use of text messaging and sharing photos of the potential work site. This helped Mr. Floros prepare an accurate price estimate for the work and ensure there would be no problems or delays in installing the hot water heater. Such communication made it convenient and easy for me to arrange the work. The new 75-gallon gas hot water heater is performing exactly as expected, and the entire process—from quote to completion—was handled with transparency and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for water heater replacement or similar plumbing work.

Friendly, amazingly knowledgeable and was at my home within an hour of calling him because of a no heat issue early on a Saturday morning. Diagnosed the issue immediately and had the replacement parts in his truck. Heat was back on in less than an hour (circulation pump replacement). Highly recommended.
Michael Accardi -
We came home late from work to discover our hot water heater broke and flooded the basement. Petros was a lifesaver! He arrived 10min after I called, fixed the immediate issue and set up our wet vac for us. The next day he was back with a new hot water heater. He explained what he was doing throughout and gave a fair price. He was also just a genuinely nice guy. Can’t recommend him enough!
Danya Potter -
Can't say enough good things about Petros! Last March on a random Saturday our leak detector went off on our tank water heater. Temperature was freezing outside and I had young children at home. I scrambled to find on Google a plumber who could provide emergency services and Petros responded right away. He gave me a good quote, went to a supplier to find the tank I needed, and came to install it. Everything was done within the day and we had hot water to bath the kids!! He was very professional and efficient. Couple days ago, a week before Christmas, my parents' house had a leak from their tank, plus a shower faucet that was not letting out cold water. After going back and forth with a local handyman who was to repair but then suggested that we replace the tank entirely, I reached out to Petros again late in the evening in desperation. From just couple photos, he identified the problems, got the parts and fixed everything the next day. Aside from being amazed by his skills, I was really moved as he drove more than an hour from his last job to us just so we could have hot water and shower during the holidays. We are located far from his general service area but he went out of his way to help us. I would highly recommend him if you are in towns close to Melrose!

12/8/25 update: Petros continues to be an absolutely amazing plumber to work with. My family was recently staying at a rental home while we were having construction done at our place and there was a massive leak with the homeowner’s refrigerator. Petros came out immediately, even though he had an injured back and he helped me to diagnose the problem, stop a water leak and save the homeowner thousands of dollars in water remediation repairs. I can’t recommend Petros highly enough. He’s an absolutely amazing professional. This guy is amazing. It’s people like him that keep our communities up and running. Petros is responsive, reliable, and fairly priced. If anything, he’s so good that he’s not charging enough. He’s also incredibly knowledgeable in his field, good with kids, and a nice guy. I’d recommend him without hesitation.

When we had an emergency plumbing issue recently, I asked my friends for suggestions. We are so thankful to get recommended you guys. It was really stressful to have problem late at night. We called other places that can't schedule anyone over for days. You promptly answered our call and came in bright and early next morning to fix. Very professional and efficient. We'll be recommending you guys to all our friends too.
Rebecca Xiong -
Petros was very responsive and it was great to meet him. We had trouble with our water pipe leading to a bathroom toilet. It had flooded and we were without water. He promptly came over early the next morning and was able to fix the pipe quickly. I had a great conversation with him sharing life some life stories.
Michael -
Floros Plumbing is honest and knowledgeable. They saved us a visit by advising on the issue where we ultimately needed a contractor instead of a plumber, and their prices on additional services are reasonable. If you need a plumber you can trust, try Floros!
Tyler Davis -
Nothing Petros cant do when it comes to Plumbing . Ive been using him past 25 years , hands down best around .
Ralph Tella -
I hired Floros Plumbing to (1) Snake a bathtub, (2) change a water heater anode rod (3) and fix two toilets that were taking forever to refill. As I recall, all of this was fixed in under two hours, and the two workers were pleasant to talk with. The ease of job completion, quality of work, and the technical advice was worth the price. Thank you, Petros!
Raben -
I had a great experience with Floros Plumbing. Our very old boiler stopped working in December and he went to great lengths to find the part we needed and fix the issue same day. We had tried 2 other companies prior to calling Floros, and they were unable or unwilling to help. Thanks to Petros we had our heat back up and running in no time!
Shauna Mcgrath -
Had a sink that needed assistance. So helpful
Kimberley Deleire -
Fantastic. We had no hot water coming into a new home we just moved in the day before on Saturday. I called Mr. Floros at 9 a.m. Sunday, he diagnosed the problem (plus a few other plumbing issues on our to-do list) almost immediately over the phone, then came out at 1 p.m. with everything ready to go. He was done by 3 p.m. with our plumbing checklist done and dusted. I’ve never had to call a plumber before (and this first time I did with much nervousness), but this is THE guy to call.
Jane J -
I called needing repairs to my outdoor spigots and they came same day and fixed it immediately. Very happy with the speed and quality of the work!
Sandy -
Our water heater broke Sunday morning, and Petros came out same day with a replacement. He spent the time to talk through the installation and field all my questions while doing the install. All around great service, 100% would recommend.
Devrim Dereli -
I made a request on Angie that I needed to get 4 toilets fixed. Petros from Floros responded almost immediately, walked through what the problems might be, made a diagnosis over the phone and the job was performed 2 days later. He came prepared with all the parts already, was fast, efficient, professional, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them.
Marcus Chen -
I found Floros Plumbing & Heating via Angi and Petros, the plumber, responded immediately. There was a leak under the kitchen sink and the garbage disposal was not working. Pictures were sent of the problem and the Petros arrived with the part and had everything working in less than 1/2 hour. There was approximately 4 hours between first contact and completion of the job.

I reached out to Petros on Easter about a leak in my shower and he responded immediately-he was able to identify the problem within minutes, and I immediately felt less anxious about the process. I had a bathroom remodeled in the fall and the drain pipe hadn’t been installed properly, which caused a leak and damage to the floor. He promptly repaired it and even recommend a reputable contractor for the patch and repair work. He was so kind and helpful, has an extensive amount of knowledge, and did an amazing job handling the leak so quickly on a holiday weekend. I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful local business!
Marissa -
Mr. Floros was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He inspected and determined that the garbage disposal unit in the kitchen sink didn't need to be replaced. He repaired it pretty quickly. The rate was reasonable. We would hire him again if there's any need for his services.
Albert Jose de Vera -
Petros has been our plumber for about 15 years or so and we are well taken care of all these years. Despite the skilled plumbing he is himself is very friendly and trust worthy. Getting my plumbing fixed is always a delightful experience and the finished work is of the highest quality.
Dianne Sawtelle -
Had a broken shower valve, and I unscrewed the faceplate and saw I was out of my depth. I called in the morning, and he was there at 1:30 the same afternoon and done before 2. Lifesaver!
James Craver -
Petros rebuilt 13 shutoff valves in my condo and installed a new kitchen faucet. He was clean, very quick, and knowledgeable. He loves his job and wants to do quality work. I appreciate that he explained to me what he was doing as he was doing it, and all his work made sense to me. In contrast, I contacted 3 other plumbers - all of them were more expensive by varying degrees and estimated that the repairs would take all day. A few of them suggested repairs that were questionable.
Leiter Kang -
Expert Plumber and service
John Walsh -
Can't say enough good things! I called late in the evening for a clogged drain and they came out early the next morning to help me out. They diagnosed the problem and although they determined I needed a different service for a final fix to the problem Petros called a colleague himself to get that settled urgently for me. After so many people told me they wouldn't be able to come for several days (my only toilet wasn't working so not an option!) it was such a relief to find someone who was able to come quickly and assess the situation.
Sharon Phillips -
It is great! Reasonable price, good job, prompt response.
Peter W -
A really good experience. Our bathroom faucet was not working. We contacted many plumbers who had a long wait period. Petros called back right away and had me take photos of the faucet. He said that instread of calling him in for a simple repair, he could walk me through doing it myself! Amazing! We will certainly be using P Floros for all future plumbing needs.
Piotr Teterwak -
P Floros was extremely responsive, communicative and helpful. He was able to fit me in same day for a non emergency repair, and worked quickly and efficiently. My shower now has full water pressure and I didn't even need to miss a shower! I would recommend them to anyone in the area.
Kit Thompson -
Our water heat tank leaked. We called two plumbers and one need to wait for a week and the other required scheduling. So we called Floros. He gave us a quote after receiving the photos, and visited us on the same day. The work was done smoothly. He is knowledgeable and is helpful when we asked him about other issues in our unit. We will hire him again.
H Chiu -
Professional, quick to respond and did an excellent job fixing our sink. Would highly recommend!
