Sally A.I can't say enough good words for Frank. I have a complicated toilet problem as a result of poor installation done by a very incompetent and dishonest plumber. I suffered through two expensive plumbing companies trying to fix it and nothing was fixed. Then I found Frank through Google review. He showed great competence and abundant experience, he avoided any unnecessary procedure proposed by prior plumbers, which are very expensive. He got it done in two hours. And the amount he charged is minimum for this project. I found a very minor issue second day, he arrived in twenty minutes, straight it out and didn't charge me anything for the second visit. Now my problem is fixed done and done. Frank is the best!
Angie S.I have used Frank Formica for several years and have been consistently satisfied with his dependability and his professionalism. I have two houses and he has installed, hot water heaters, high efficiency toilets, and solved mysterious leak problems. He has proven to be honest, knowledgeable and an excellent problem solver. Highly recommended.
Frank is an extremely competent and trustworthy master plumber. We live in Arlington, MA and he is our go-to guy. He installed our water heater, which turned out to be a complex job, and recently our Bosch dishwasher. In addition, he has fixed our bathroom plumbing issues. He is friendly, prompt and hard working. It is very difficult to find a good plumber in the Boston area. We had some dicey experiences before finding Frank and we could not be happier.
My neighbor recommended me Frank, because of ""very good work with reasonable price"". Along these years I asked Frank to replace my water heater, garbage disposal, along with several everyday plumbing stuff. He has been responsive and a life saver. I just sold my house and I will definitely recommend Frank to the new owner.
Had to throw in the towel while replacing a Garbage Disposal.
Slept on it and decided to bring in a professional. Called around at 8am; got mostly voicemail.
Frank returned my call within minutes. Finished up what he was doing and was here in less than 30 minutes. Job was harder than I thought. I had broken a connection IN the wall between my Kitchen & Bathroom. Heard the obligatory "" what the Hell was this guy thinking""
re: the original installer. Cut a hole in the Bathroom wall and rebuilt it solid - for the next owners. New Plumbing guaranteed to outlast the disposal !
Jeffrey K.I had a great experience using Frank for his plumbing skills. I called him on a Thursday night and he called me back immediately. He came the next morning to fix the issue which was a fireplace gas leak. It was a very difficult task considering the confined access
point, but he completed the job through persistance. I most certainly recommend Frank to anyone searching for quick, honest and efficient plumbing services.
Frank called me back the same day for a relatively small job, a disposal installation. He arrived on time the next day, and his pricing was simple and transparent. On arrival, he immediately had concerns: the cabinet was an awkward space with a low sink, and little room to maneuver. Frank explained the possible complications, and came up with a plan for arranging the plumbing. After a run to the local plumbing supply house for parts, he managed to get everything squeezed in perfectly. I would definitely call him again.
It's not often that I feel compelled to post a review on Yelp. Frank has earned and deserves my positive review. Here's my story ...
My 89 year old parents live in a house that has very old plumbing. After other plumbing companies told them that their bath fixtures and pipes could not be repaired and they would need all new plumbing because the parts did not exist, I searched further and found Frank Formica plumbing on the internet. I called him and he resonded immediately and went to my parents home that same day.
He approached the job as a 'repair' and found the necessary parts from plumbing suppliers (same day!) and made their sink and shower as good as new.
Frank saved my parents over $1,800 by repairing the leaks vs. installing new fixtures, pipes, and sink and cabinet.
Frank, if you read this, I pass along my gracious thanks and appreciation for choosing to not rip apart my parent's bath because it would have been disruptive and uneccesary. I also want to thank you for your patience with my Dad's lack of hearing and confusion and my Mom's never-ending questions! If you can please my Mom, you are a saint. REALLY!
I will gladly chat with anyone who would like more information about my experience.
Awesome plumber - best find I've had! Prompt, honest, reliable - and did I mention honest? Gave me a quote that was about half of what I got elsewhere, and made a real effort to cut this down further by trying to repair the problem instead of completely replacing the part (shower). Would go back to him anytime.
I called Frank based on positive Yelp reviews, but had a completely different experience. He is a nice guy, but I'm sorry to say he is not very competent. He had difficulty figuring out which parts to use to replace part of a faucet, and I literally had to stand next to him, looking at parts and helping him in order to get the job done (and I am not particularly handy). I don't like to give a negative review, but I could not recommend him to anyone seeking a competent plumber.
