The Portland Group - Boston

The Portland Group operates as a fourth-generation family-owned plumbing, heating and HVAC wholesale distributor with its Boston branch located at 617.442.6950. Serving contractors and trades professionals across Roxbury, Boston, Billerica, Framingham, Haverhill, Medford, Raynham, West Newton, and Worcester in Massachusetts, the company also maintains additional branches in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Connecticut. Open Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4:30 PM, the business specializes in supplying plumbing fixtures, HVAC components, and heating equipment to licensed contractors rather than retail homeowners.

What distinguishes The Portland Group from standard supply houses is their blend of wholesale distribution and retail showrooms under the Splash and Spritzo brands, offering five showrooms throughout New England where contractors can physically examine products before purchase. The company maintains an online web order entry portal for convenient product ordering, stocks professional-grade lines including Scale Pro water conditioning units, and employs counter personnel described by reviewers as highly knowledgeable in product specifications and applications. Their twelve branch locations across five states provide contractors with regional access and inventory depth that smaller suppliers cannot match.

Customer reviews reveal specific experiences that illustrate the company's strengths. Arty Zak praised the team for being knowledgeable, quick, and respectful when sourcing HVAC parts, while Daniel Phinney highlighted the counter staff's expertise with specialized products like Scale Pro water conditioning units. Ted Pyles noted the store consistently has needed items in stock. However, reviewer Ramey Scott criticized a staff member's unprofessional conduct, and Kyle Evans recommended calling ahead to allow time for order processing.
