Sonny, Master Plumber at Ridgeview Plumbing & Heating
Meet Your Plumber

Hi, I'm Sonny — your friendly neighborhood plumber.

I didn’t grow up in a family of plumbers, and I didn’t start my career in the trades. Before founding Ridgeview Plumbing & Heating, I worked as a pharmacist at a local hospital.

Over time, I realized I wanted a different path—one where I could work with my hands, solve real problems, and build lasting relationships within my community. With my wife’s encouragement, I returned to trade school and apprenticed with a local plumber, spending three years learning the trade while completing my education. Along the way, I discovered how much I genuinely enjoyed the work.

What I value most is helping people. Every day brings a new challenge and the opportunity to provide homeowners with dependable solutions and peace of mind.

In 2024, I founded Ridgeview Plumbing & Heating, named after Ridgeview Lane, where I grew up and where my parents still live. The name is a reminder of the values that guide my work: treat every customer like family, provide honest recommendations, and do the job right the first time.

My wife and I have proudly called Maine home since 2018, and serving this community is both a privilege and the reason I love what I do.

Meet Your Heating Professional

Hi, I'm Dillan — your go-to heat guy.

I've always enjoyed working outdoors and building things. That interest led me from stone landscaping in high school to the trades program at Portland Arts & Technology, and eventually to earning an associate degree in Plumbing and Heating Technology from Southern Maine Community College. I've been working in the field ever since.

At Ridgeview, I focus on heating systems, including boilers, furnaces, and mini splits. Whether it's a repair, replacement, or new installation, I approach every job with attention to detail and pride in doing things right.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me fishing. I tie my own flies and enjoy everything from casting for sunfish to chasing striped bass along the coast. I also believe in supporting local businesses and building strong connections within the communities we serve.

I'm proud to call Southern Maine home and grateful for the opportunity to help keep our neighbors comfortable year-round.

Straight from the Neighbors

Even though it was a small job, he took the time to explain the issue and how he would resolve it. We wouldn't hesitate to call him again.

— Michael O.

Met Sonny at Home Depot trying to figure out a faucet issue myself — he gave me pointers and offered his number. The kindness and professionalism is one of a kind.

— Alex C.

Sonny actually answered the phone! I thought he was going to give me an estimate but he completed the work right there and then.

Our Community

Why we do what we do

My wife and I moved to Maine from Massachusetts in 2018, and we’re proud to call this community home. We believe that being a local business means more than just working here—it means building relationships and standing behind our work long after the job is done.

That’s the standard we hold ourselves to at Ridgeview: show up when we say we will, provide honest recommendations, communicate clearly, and treat every home with the same care and respect we’d give our own family.

Plumbing and heating services — Southern Maine

What We Do

From fixing a leaking faucet to installing a new boiler, we provide reliable plumbing and heating services for homeowners and small businesses throughout Southern Maine. Whatever the job, you can expect honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and service you can count on.

Plumbing Repairs & Upgrades

  • Leaking pipes, drains & fixtures. We find the source and fix the root cause — not just the symptom.
  • Fixture updates. Toilets, faucets, sinks, tubs, shower trim — replacing what’s worn out or upgrading what you have.
  • New fixtures added. Need a utility sink, extra bathroom, or washer hookup? We add new to existing.
  • Slow drain remediation. If a single fixture is sluggish, we can usually get things flowing again.
  • Burst & frozen pipe repair. Maine winters are no joke. When things freeze and burst, we come out.
  • Sump pump installation & replacement. Keep your basement dry with a system that actually holds up.

Heating Systems

  • Boiler replacement & installation. Gas, oil, hydronic, steam, or hot air — we replace aging systems and can help you change fuel sources if it makes sense for your home.
  • Annual boiler & furnace cleaning. Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and catches problems before they become emergencies.
  • 24/7 emergency boiler repair. No heat or hot water? We offer around-the-clock emergency service for exactly these moments.
  • Mini split cleaning & maintenance. Mold and debris build up over time. We clean and service both evaporator and condenser to keep your air clean and your system efficient.

Water Heaters & Gas Services

  • Water heater replacement. Whether it finally gave out or you’re ready to upgrade to something bigger or more efficient.
  • Tankless water heater conversion. Switching from a traditional tank to tankless, or replacing an existing one.
  • New gas appliance installation. Stoves, dryers, water heaters, boilers — we handle the gas connection.
  • Establishing new gas service. If your home or business doesn’t have gas yet, we can work alongside a propane supplier to get that set up.

Seasonal & Specialty

  • Seasonal winterization. Closing up a seasonal property? We’ll winterize it properly so it’s ready to open again in the spring.
  • Spring Opening Services. Coming back for the summer? We'll get your water turned on and ready for you.
  • New construction & remodels. Full plumbing and heating systems for new builds and renovations, working with contractors or directly with homeowners.
  • Light commercial plumbing. All the above services scaled for small businesses like restaurants and cafés.

Plumbing & heating FAQ — Southern Maine

Plumbing questions? We've got answers.

Pretty much everything for homeowners and small businesses — plumbing repairs, fixture upgrades, boiler installation and service, water heater replacement, tankless conversions, mini split cleaning, new gas appliance hookups, sump pumps, new construction, remodels, and seasonal winterization. If you’re not sure whether your job fits, just call or text and we’ll tell you straight.

Yes — 24/7 for heating emergencies. If your boiler goes out or you lose hot water, especially in the colder months, don’t wait until Monday. Call or text us.

For burst or frozen pipes in the winter, we come out for those too. If something has gone sideways and you need help fast, reach out and we’ll let you know how quickly we can get to you.

That’s one of the first things we figure out together when we come out. A few things that typically point toward replacement: the system is 20+ years old, repair costs are stacking up, it’s running inefficiently, or it keeps breaking down.

We’ll give you an honest read on what makes more sense for your situation. We’re not going to push you toward a replacement if a repair is the right call.

No — that’s one thing we don’t offer. Drain cleaning (snaking or hydro-jetting full drain lines) isn’t a service we provide. If that’s what you need, we’ll point you toward someone who can help. We’d rather be upfront than waste your time.

Both. We work primarily with homeowners, but we also do light commercial plumbing for small businesses like restaurants and cafés. If you have a commercial property and aren’t sure if it’s in our wheelhouse, just ask.

Yes — this is a big part of what we do, especially on the coast. If you have a seasonal property that closes down for the winter, we’ll shut it down properly so the pipes don’t freeze and it’s ready to open again in the spring. We also reverse the process in the spring.

A cleaning (also called a tune-up or annual service) is preventive — we clean the unit, run a combustion analysis, and make sure everything is operating safely and efficiently. It’s something we recommend once a year, like an oil change for your car. A repair is when something has actually broken or stopped working. The two sometimes overlap — we might find something during a cleaning that needs to be addressed — but we’ll always tell you what we found and what it means before doing anything extra.

Yes. If you’ve got a project or repair in mind, reach out and we’ll talk through it. For larger jobs, we’ll come out and take a look before putting together a quote.

It depends on the job. Larger projects — like a boiler replacement or a remodel — are typically quoted as a flat rate or priced per fixture. Smaller jobs can go either way: flat rate if it’s a standard repair, or time plus materials if it’s more open-ended.

We’ll always be upfront about how a job will be priced before we start.

No — and here’s why: plumbing and heating work varies too much for a price list to be meaningful or fair. Two water heater replacements can be completely different jobs depending on what’s there, what you want, and what the space requires. A number on a website would either be too high or set the wrong expectations. We’d rather give you an accurate quote for your actual situation.

We’re competitive — and we think the value holds up. You’re not paying for a big company’s overhead or a salesperson’s commission. What you are getting is honest pricing, quality parts, and someone who actually stands behind the work. We’re probably not going to be the cheapest quote you find, but we’re not going to nickel-and-dime you either.

We serve the Southern Maine coast from Portland down to Kittery, including Wells, Ogunquit, York, and the surrounding towns. We also cover Sanford and the Berwicks. If you’re nearby and not sure if we come to you, just ask — we’ll let you know.

Yes — we’re based in Wells, ME. My wife and I moved here from Massachusetts in 2018 and it’s home. We’re not a regional chain with a local phone number. We actually live and work here.

Call or text us at (207) 251-0994 is the fastest way to reach us. You can also fill out the contact form below and we’ll get back to you the same day. We actually answer — and if we miss you, we call back.

Most of the time, yes. We’re a small team. You’re not going to get a different stranger every visit. We think that matters — it’s part of what makes the relationship work.

Both. We do new construction and remodels for contractors, and we also work directly with homeowners who are managing their own projects.

Either way, the process is the same: we talk through what you need, give you a straight quote, and do the work right.

We explain everything. Honestly, it’s one of the things we hear most from customers — that they appreciated understanding what was actually going on with their home. We’re not going to talk over your head or rush through it. If you have questions, ask. We’d rather you walk away feeling informed.

Absolutely. We don’t turn down small jobs. A dripping faucet, a running toilet, a slow drain on a single fixture — those things are worth fixing, and we’re happy to come out. We’d rather you call than let a small problem become a bigger one.

Yes. Ridgeview Plumbing & Heating is fully licensed and insured in the state of Maine.
