Your home is in good hands.
Friendliest Plumbers Around
Family-owned plumbing, heating and cooling for homes and businesses throughout Quincy and the South Shore.
What Casper Handles
Both trades, for houses and for buildings. Pick a category to see the work under it, and the all services page carries the rest.
Three Deckers, Two Families and Old Boilers
Quincy and Dorchester are built out of three deckers, century old two families and apartment buildings that have been added to for decades. The plumbing and the heating in them grew up together, and a basement full of copper, cast iron and a boiler older than the people living upstairs is the ordinary day here.
That is the work Casper does. Licensed technicians and permits pulled where the work calls for them, on a kitchen sink in Milton, a no heat call from a landlord in Dorchester, or the water heater replacement in a Braintree storefront.
One Appointment, One Bill
A cold radiator and the leak under it are one appointment and one bill rather than two trades and two trips.
At Home in Old Houses
Steam and hot water boilers, cast iron radiators, tight basements and the plumbing of a house that has been remodeled four times. This is the housing stock we work in every day.
Homes and Buildings Alike
Homeowners, landlords, condo associations and property managers, and a tenant with no heat gets treated like the emergency it is.
Licensed, Bonded and Insured
Massachusetts licensed technicians, work done to code, and permits pulled with your town when the job calls for one.
For Your Home
Plumbing, drains, water heaters, heating and cooling in houses, three deckers and condos, which is the housing this area is actually made of.

Questions the Shop Gets Asked
Do You Do Both Plumbing and Heating?
Both, under one roof, which is why a cold radiator and the leak under it are one visit rather than two. Every category is on the all services page.
Which Towns Do You Work In?
Quincy, Dorchester, Milton, Weymouth and Braintree each have a page of their own, written about the buildings in them rather than about the town. The rest of the South Shore is on the towns we cover page.
Do You Pull Permits?
Yes. Massachusetts requires a permit before plumbing work is installed, altered or replaced, and it is filed by the licensed contractor rather than by you. The work is inspected afterwards, which is the one independent look anybody takes at it.
Do You Work in Three Deckers and Condo Buildings?
Regularly. A fifth of Quincy’s housing is in two to four unit buildings, so the shared basement is familiar ground. The first thing we establish is whether the building runs one appliance per unit or one for everybody.
Will You Take the Old Equipment Away?
Yes. Removal and disposal are part of the job. An old cast iron boiler in a Quincy basement is a real piece of work to get out, sometimes in sections and usually up a bulkhead, and that is accounted for rather than left behind.
Do You Work for Landlords and Property Managers?
Yes, alongside homeowners and condo associations. A building that has to keep working while you fix it is planned differently from a house, and written down afterwards for whoever has to be told. The commercial services pages carry that side.
