Our verdict
Quality workmanship from experienced technicians, but pricing is notably high and diagnostic accuracy has been questioned—call them for installation work you trust, but get competing quotes on major jobs.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“If I could give 0 stars I would. Had a minor leak from a toilet, called Boulanger's. Plumber came out and could not fix the leak. They put in a new water closet flange and said I needed to get a professional snake because there was a clog. I called Fletcher's sewar and drain. He came later the same day, took the toilet off, fixed it easily! He said, "I'm not a plumber but I can tell you that whoever did this …”
Positive
“Very nice people to work with , and friendly. They do a good job , and cleanup everything .my new water heater is working great.”
“Today, Re-Bath used Boulanger to install a new toilet as part of a bathroom remodel. Boulanger plumber, Naima Matos, did a fantastic job installing the new toilet. She even repaired work that was not done properly by a prior plumber years ago. She is a hard worker and a definite asset to Boulanger.”
