T.J. Sillari Inc. is a Somerville plumbing, heating, and gas contractor that says it's been taking calls across Greater Boston since 1985. A business directory names Anthony C. Sillari as the owner. The company's own site lists a wide service area — Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Winchester, Watertown, Waltham, Lexington, Newton, Malden, Allston, and Brighton. The clearest recent account is a good one: this spring a customer said the water heater started leaking, they called at 10 a.m., and a new one was installed by 2 p.m. — the same review credits the crew with fixing faucets, showers, and toilets for several years running. But the same recent stretch also produced a one-star review calling the company unresponsive, with no further detail given. That split shows up in the numbers too: Google shows a 4-star average from a dozen ratings, while the small set of reviews collected reads closer to even between praise and complaint. Its Massachusetts plumbing license, 12761-PL-M, checks out as active in the state registry. Other directories float different numbers for the business — a BuildZoom listing cites 6106 and 2315P among several license figures — so it's worth confirming the exact license on your paperwork rather than assuming from a single site. The BBB has no rating on file and hasn't accredited the business, though it separately notes a long, 68-year operating history. For a same-day plumbing or heating fix around Somerville, the recent track record leans positive, but with so few reviews to go on, it's worth getting a firm response commitment and confirming the license number before booking.

    We noticed the water heater was leaking and called Sillari at 10 am. By 2 pm Mike was here installing the new one. They've been fixing our faucets, showers, and toilets for several years. Always great, friendly service. We highly recommend them.

    The Home Depot team couldn't set up our new washer/dryer because the valves were rusted. I tried to find a plumber and contacted TJ Sillari's crew. They initially quoted $350 to replace the washing machine valves. Seemed a bit steep, but since there was a small leak, I had to shut off the water mains and I just needed it done.<br><br>However, when they arrived, they muttered about things not being as they expected, and suddenly the new price skyrocketed to $750! They argued that the valves I had weren't available anymore, insisting on cutting into the drywall, tinkering with the pipes, and doing unnecessary work. Something didn't feel right, so I declined their offer.<br><br>Instead, I went to Home Depot, bought two new valves for just $30 in total, and decided to try installing them myself. Surprisingly, it wasn't too challenging, even for someone like me without any plumbing experience.<br><br>I'm not sure if they were after extra holiday cash and thought they could pull a fast one on me, or if there's some other reason behind it, but be cautious...
