"The service we had was to have a slow-running drain unclogged. The work was fine and as we expected. Our complaint would be that we paid twice what I thought it would cost to clear one drain. The only reason we went ahead with the work was that the drain had been clogged for several days and we just wanted it cleaned. we will not be going through Angis list for our next service."

"Topic is a home water supply Shallow Well which operates with a shallow well jet pump + pressure tank installed in the basement. I had been collecting parts over the summer, as I knew the original to house jet pump would go out soon some day and with covid parts are hard to get quick, so started collecting ahead of time. Glad I did as the pump started leaking, from the housing. Replacement needed. Not an emergency but time to get it replaced. Was a ticking clock as it also looked like the pump was twisting putting stress on piping as original owner did not mount it and other fittings had large amounts of corrosion on them. I supplied these parts for the job: new 1hp jet pump, 44 Gal. pressure tank with T package, water filter housing, brass fittings, brass check valve, brass ball valves, 1" copper pipe and some copper fitting, and 2x10 pressure treated board to mount the pump/board to the floor with concrete anchors. Called up Sila on 10/14, master plumber Dave was available on 10/16 to come quote the job of installing what I supplied and misc. parts still needed. Talked with me and received my requests for specific design wants and he supplied his opinions & additional ideas and other options like wall mounting of water filter, sensor shutoff option and different water filter all together and we worked out the plan, did not do the different filter or sensor though. Talked about brass pipe and fittings at the pump up to the pressure tank and we agreed what I had purchased was good and would last a lifetime, vs copper all the way which would still last a long time. Quoted $2800 with water filter bypassing and $2600 without the water filter bypassing. Job was scheduled for 10/22. Quote was high level line item as listed here. Came a bit late on 10/14, due to an emergency call, no big deal Dave called to let me know. Was on time for installation on 10/22, 7:30am. Two workers on Job (Dave + 1, sorry I’m horrible with names +1 was an electrician and was helping Dave) Job took ~ 8 hours to finish. What was not able to be completed: Was not able to replace old original check valve. Well started to suck air when old was started to be removed, confirming there is no foot valve on the line or a broken one, so old check valve was kept. Concern was not being able to recover from air going down the well pipe causing priming issues. At this point the job would require a well expert and was not able to be replaced by Sila. What part of job was mis-understood: Mounting of jet pump to board/floor. Ended up missing the concrete anchors to start and installing after the fact with a different method. Made it more difficult to mount the pump and did scratch the rust proof paint. But it got done. Nice and sturdy. What was complicated on the job: Something that should have not been an issue at all went wrong. I had purchased 1” brass unions. There were two unions installed. One was found to be causing leaks during the initial job installation. This caused extra rework during the initial job. After job completion and area dried with a fan, it was found that both unions were leaking. The original one that had issues in the initial job and the 2nd one. One is pre pump and one is post pump. Called Sila office on 10/23 and told them what was happening, Dave’s earliest availability to come back was was 10/26. He was on time on 10/26. Dave stated that 1 union was giving trouble and replaced it with one spare that I had also purchased. When looking at the 2nd union again he was not able to get it to seal and he made the call and changed the design to direct copper connection and no union, I did not object as at this point just wanted the job done. No More leaks on that location, but also no ability to easily break the connection for future maintenance. When left no leaks. However, after using water for a while the 1st union started leaking again. Texted Dave direct with a picture and said he could return on 10/28 and I requested him to bring a union from his supply. Arrived when he could with ~ 1hr notice and replaced the union with one of his. When looking closer at the issue unions that I had purchased it was found they were cracking. Summary: I’m a novice in pluming, reason for calling Sila. I wish Dave would have noticed the poor part / crack issue and replaced unions from his stock on day 1. I was trying to save time by collecting parts over time and ended up causing issues. Dave knew he was working with brass and seems like he did not have backup stock on site incase of issues. Wish he did as I’d have two unions… and he would not have had to come back twice to repair the leaks. The call was made to not use the brass ball valves I purchased so it was clear that my parts were recommended to use but not absolute. Overall Dave and team did a great job, it’s clean, organized, valves and drain spickets installed nice and logically, filter is at good height, job completed like I asked and planned with Dave, except for the above jet pump mounting, union issue and check valve replacement discussion above here. Dave and team was professional and focused to get the job done. Thanks Dave for your hard work. Reason for Rating: I am giving this job an A rating based on the end result, Sila stood by the workmanship and resolved the issues that arose. That is a sign of a great company. If I would not have supplied the couplers that issue would not have happened ultimately and the check valve & well priming issue was just out of reach and would have required a well specialist to complete. The pump mounting was probably just lost in the large amount of details we had discussed, again it is mounted sturdy."

"It was cleared within a half hour. The technician was extremely polite and he left everything as neatly as he found it. The price was excellent and he worked quickly. In the past when I had plumbing work done it always ended up more than I thought and there was alway a lot of cleaning up to do after they left. I was afraid to call anyone I felt plumbers were so hard to get to come to you house and you were at their disposal . Right from the start the main office was very responsive they offered to send someone the same day I chlose to have them come the next morning. The technician called before coming and showed up on time. He was very polite identified the problem and work extremely quickly and cleanly leaving everything very neat. After this experience I will never dread calling a plumber. I am definitely added this company to my phone to call for emergency plumbing The price I paid was $235.00 much better than I exspected"

"I called Van yesterday evening to ask about clearing a drain at my home. He was responsive, quick and we scheduled a time the next day. He and Toni came to my home and after some inspections of the issue cleared the drain with little to no mess. They both were friendly, professional , prompt and quick to work. I would and plan to hire them in the near future for any and all plumbing repairs."

"Zoom was awesome. They were fast, clean, and knowledgeable about my sewer repair."

"The plumber arrived on time. He inspected the shower drain and answered questions and provided suggestions for keeping it clear in the future. He unclogged a sink and it works great now."

  I have used Boston Standard since 20ll.  They have done both large and small jobs for me.  I have an offer on the house and the home inspector's report had a number of things that might be in need of attention. The circulator pump had an on and off  slight weeping problem that turned into a drip after the home inspection.  I told them that I was unsure at this time if the purchaser wanted to keep or replace the heating system.   They recommended a new boiler due to it's age and condition.  They also tightened the water shut off valve that was weeping.  I was told, to repair this problem might require the city to shut down the water so we decided not to work on it  and to watch and  see if the tightening would stop the weeping.  They looked at  the basement sink faucet that was said to have a drip but they could not find a shut off valve for it and said it would require draining the system. Because it was late in the afternoon and  I was unsure if the potential new owner would even want to keep the old sink, we decided not to do the work. They recommended having this work done in the future. I asked them to write their recommendations for future work down so I could give it to the new owner.  Since this report, I have been asked by the potential buyer to replace the circulator pump.  I have called Boston Standard two times asking for a estimate for this pump so I can have an idea of how much it will cost me and they have not returned my calls yet. I'm not sure if they are reluctant because I did not have anything done this time or if they are trying to find out the cost since it is an old system.  I have told the buyer that I would have the pump replaced and hope to hear from Boston Standard soon!   

UPDATE: Returned all my calls. Just want to update my last report to say that Boston Standard did return all my calls but not to my home phone.  They had my cell phone number  and used that to respond to my calls.  Because I do not live in the house where I have had the work done, I had given them my cell phone to use if they were running late for our appointments otherwise, I explained, I do not use it. It is understandable how that could have been forgotten since I am in the minority when it comes to cell phone use.  I have set up an appointment with them and will write a review after the work is done."

"They unclogged our shower drain but stated that we may have a problem with our main line.  In order to find the problem in the main line a camera would need to be used- we backed out when we were told that the cost just for the camera to be used was going to be about $300.00.

Communication was excellent, I called on a Sunday and got someone to go out the next day.  Very nice man helped me navigate to his website where I was able to get a special price on shower drain unclog."
