"Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating in Hudson, MA — Family-Owned Since 1980"

Our Story

Family-owned since 1980. But honestly, the story starts further back than that.

Plumbing has run in the Curley name for more than a century here in Hudson. And when my dad went out on his own in 1980, he built Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating the only way he knew how — on his own name, and on the kind of loyalty you don’t see much anymore.

There’s a story from those early years that tells you everything about the man, and about this shop.

My brother Craig had been working for the rest of the family. Every month or two, he’d pull up and sit on the low fireplace mantel next to my dad’s recliner and ask the same thing: “Can I come work for you?”

And every time, my dad gave the same answer: “I won’t take you away from my brothers.”

He said this for years. Loyalty first, no matter what it cost him — even if it meant passing up his own son.

Then one day Craig sat down and asked the same question, and my dad gave the same answer. And Craig said, “Well, I’ll have to go work for someone else. Because I just quit.”

Dad hired him on the spot.

That’s the level of loyalty behind this business. The same loyalty you’ll get when you call us. I’m Richard T. Curley — not a franchise, not a call center. You call, you get me, in a fully stocked Shop on Wheels, ready to fix it right the first time.

I stand behind every job. Just like my dad would’ve.
