Cape Cod's Family-Owned Plumbing & Heating Team
Phil Durfee started this shop after a decade running service for a larger company and getting tired of watching homeowners get up-sold. Today, Durfee Plumbing & Heating is a small crew of licensed techs who actually answer the phone, and a plumber Cape Cod homeowners and property managers have trusted for more than 20 years.
Phil personally handles every service issue — if a job goes sideways, you talk to the owner, not a call center in another state. We're small on purpose. It's how we keep flat-rate pricing honest and the one-year warranty actually worth something.

What neighbors say
Reviews you can call and verify.
“Heat broke one cold, sleeting January night, owner came and fixed it even though he was sick with an earache. Can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“When my tank came in early they made a point of coming to my house before they were scheduled — unheard of on Cape Cod. Their price was very fair as well.”

“When I called Durfee’s a few hours after the install because of a leaky vacuum valve, the guys came back within minutes and quickly replaced it. I would definitely use Durfee’s again for any plumbing need.”
Robert F.

“Phillip Durfee and every single one of his employees are excellent. They were very prompt in responding and fixing the problems with our very old furnace and water heater. Durfee will definitely be our guys.”
