Cape Quality Plumbing & Heating Inc

Twenty-eight permits across the outer Cape — Provincetown, Truro, Orleans, Chatham, Eastham — pulled between 2014 and May 2025 is the clearest picture of what Cape Quality Plumbing & Heating actually does: steady plumbing and gas work in the towns at the end of Route 6. The company works out of 30 Mehitable Lane in Wellfleet and says it covers Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown, doing residential and commercial plumbing and heating — fixtures, water heaters, water treatment, heating systems, and the seasonal winterizing and freeze-up calls that come with a coastline full of shuttered houses. BuildZoom names Jamie J. Meads as the owner. The reviews are few, and they run one way. A homeowner writing this July named the plumber, John Swanson, and said he arrived on time and finished two jobs in under an hour. In 2022 a customer called the staff dependable, friendly and knowledgeable, with fair prices; another in 2023 thanked them for a quick response. All four written reviews are five stars — yet the Google page averages 4.2 across 11 ratings, so several people rated them without writing anything, and those ratings sit below the written ones. Two things to sort out before you call. The office window is narrow: the company's own site lists hours as Tuesday to Thursday, 9am to 1pm, which matters if you need a human about scheduling. And the licensing picture on BuildZoom is muddled — the same number, #3298, appears there as an active Massachusetts plumbing business licence, as a plumbing corporation licence carrying a May 2016 expiration, and as an inactive plumber licence the page says was at one point cancelled. That is the directory's own listing rather than a confirmation, so ask to see the current registration directly. For an outer-Cape homeowner who needs a plumber who genuinely works out there — including through winterizing season — the permit trail is the reassuring part. Confirm the registration, and pin down how to reach them outside those four-hour weekday windows.
