Reviews of local pros in Needham, Massachusetts

Jeff came out and fixed an issue we had with our basement drain. He was quick to diagnose the problem, come up with a great solution and provide an estimate. Within a couple days he was back out to my house and had the problem fixed in a couple hours. Everything is working great and we’re super happy. Thank you Yellow Dog and thank you Jeff!!

Yellow Dog has been an exceptional HVAC partner for us. We recently purchased a home and needed to upgrade our air handlers and condensers, boiler and water filter as they were 20+ years old. Their team of professionals came to our home to inspect the current state of equipment and connectivity and thereafter provided very competitive quotes. The team scheduled the work at convenient times for us to minimize disruption and after installation, walked us through how to use every device, answering all of our questions. Separate from the new equipment installation, we've asked them to do some minor plumbing work around the house and their service men are experienced, efficient and friendly. Scheduling visits has been so easy and they are often available to come within 1-2 days. We've signed up for their ongoing maintenance plan so will be seeing a lot more of their team. We highly recommend Yellow Dog!

Yellow dog plumbing was very reasonably priced. Jason did some work for me in my bathroom . Excellent work. highly recommended. Did a very professional job. very kind . Call yellow dog for your plumbing needs. Thank you for a very professional job.

Zach was knowledgeable, responsive and courteous and fixed my plumbing issue promptly. He communicated with me throughout the process to let me know when the parts would arrive, and when the service would be scheduled. I had a great experience with Yellow Dog!

I had a great experience with Zach who replaced my boiler’s auto fill valve. He was efficient, knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions (in person and over text). He even came back for a follow up just to reassure me everything was in good working order. Highly recommend!

Luis and Oseas were fantastic. I’ve never legitimately “enjoyed” working with an HVAC company but they were super friendly and genuinely cared to explain and show me everything. Very happy i found them and will be using them for all things heating and cooling in the future!

Zach Cavanaugh installed a new Alta hot water heater in our basement. I cannot say enough good things about the experience of dealing with Zach and Yellow Dog throughout this process. It was a genuine pleasure. Zach was extremely quick to diagnose the issues in our eccentric setup and to map out options for repair or replacement. Christina and the team at Yellow Dog HQ provided clear estimates and timetables. I would work with them again without hesitation. Thanks so much.

Yellow Dog, especially Jaisson and Bill, were prompt, professional, flexible, and very knowledgeable, especially during the height of the winter storm season amid feet of snow. We will use Yellow Dog time and time again for our maintenance needs!

Eric came to fix our garbage disposal. After receiving some hilarious quotes from other companies, Yellow Dog sent a Master Plumber who spent 15 minutes here. Managed to restore our disposal and faith in humanity for a very reasonable fee.

We came back from vacation and were shocked when our pipes broke and our basement flooded. I reached out to Yellow Dog immediately after my usual plumber couldn’t make it, and I was so glad Jeff was able to come within 2 hours. Problem solved, had great service, and we love to support small businesses!

Luis & Oseas did a great job on finding & fixing the issue with our boiler. They were extremely courteous in answering my questions & thorough in tracking down the no-heat problem. Special thanks to the dispatcher for getting them to my home within 2 hours of my call. Thanks for the great service & fair pricing. Kevin D

My first time using Yellow dog. It was for a disposal install. Went flawlessly. Jeff was professional, knowledgable, and friendly. He took a few minutes to explain what was going on and finished the job quickly and throughly. Probably the best plumbing experience I've had. Would highly recommend them.

All systems were turned off in our house but we woke up with heat blasting out of our radiators regardless and Luis from Yellow Dog was able to come a few hours later. Luis took his time to carefully investigate and walked us through every possible/potential reason why we had heat without the heat on (likely a faulty sensor). He was a true professional and we would ask for him to come back again if needed!

Also would like to give a special shoutout to Nick, Antonio and everyone else who assisted with the installation of our brand new central air system this summer! We truly appreciate all of your hard work and for teaching us so much about our new/first home ever!

Would say this is a very professional team of people, extremely reliable, affordable and knowledgeable.
Starting from Christina who picks up your call and promptly responds.
Pat the owner of the company will go above and beyond to accommodate and help with financing and other issues.
The entire team who came to install a new heating system were very professional Hiago, Brandon, Antonio and Luis.
Thank you guys for being so trustworthy which is very hard to find when you are doing Google search and don’t know who will show up and what they will quote.

Jeff from Yellow Dog Plumbing did a great job fixing my boiler. He clearly explained what the issue was, worked efficiently, and was professional and friendly throughout the visit. Pricing was also very reasonable. I’d definitely recommend him and would use Yellow Dog Plumbing again.

Our experience was amazing. Jeffrey came out and did a great job explaining to us the situation at hand as well as the steps to rectify the issue. It was a very affordable trip and we will be using you moving forward.

I would like to sincerely thank Yellow Dog for completing the replacement of our heating and cooling system, especially under cold, snowy conditions.

Both teams left a strong impression on me.

The plumbing team — Zach and a young man whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch — were extremely careful, detail-oriented, and dedicated. Their work was methodical and well-organized, demonstrating real professionalism.

The HVAC team — Jack, Hiagho, and Louis — were friendly and responsible. They took my questions seriously and explained things clearly. At times, they had to work outdoors in snow and harsh weather, yet they still completed all planned tasks on schedule.

Pat is a wise owner, and Bill is a professional director. Overall, the collaboration was smooth and positive.

Thank you all!

Our home had had several plumbing leaks, so we called YellowDog. After I made the appointment, the owner texted me asking if this was an emergency so he could get someone out quickly. It wasn’t an emergency but the attention to customer service was notable. Yellow Dog’s Eric and Billy came and came up with a solution that, along with our new water filter, seemed to have corrected the problem. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Working with Eric & Billy from the Yellow Dog team has been a seamless experience. Came on time promptly and got the job done. Had a gas dryer removed and a new one installed without issues. Flexible and able to work with another team on the job, would recommend!

Needed a fast assessment on a broken residential waste line. Zach and Jaisson visited quickly, identified the problem, provided a quote for replacement, and then followed up promptly to perform the work. They were highly professional, diligent, polite, and cleaned up the area nicely. I now have them on speed dial. I recommend them without reservation.

Impressed by this plumbing/heating/cooling company, specifically Zach and Jaisson! Our first time hiring them given that our regular service company was fully booked for 3 weeks till the day before Christmas. We took a chance with Yellow Dog and were not disappointed! Scheduling was super easy. They came the next day, even though we explained it was Not an emergency, only a maintenance. We were having an issue with our boiler unequally distributing the heat throughout the house. Zach quickly diagnosed the issue and bypassed it to restore equal heat in all areas of the house (this was free of charge). Then they offered three different options for maintenance services with no obligations, to perform on a different date. We went with the comprehensive plan, a maintenance needed every couple of years. Again, second appointment was super easy to schedule, they were ready to come in within 2 days.
Zach and Jaisson were ON TIME (we received email/text when they were on their way), and finished ON TIME (8-10am). Professional, answered all questions in detail with clear explanations in-person by the boiler. Everything was as clean or even cleaner after they left. We received a detailed report file following the service by email with photos of before and after boiler cleaning.
Super impressed, would highly recommend, definitely a 5-Star service! Thank you Zach and Jaisson!! Thank you Yellow Dog!! will definitely hire again!!
