About Us
Customer service is a part of all businesses, but it is all of our business. Customer service is the ability of an organization to constantly and consistently give the customer what they want and need. The mission of this company when it was founded here in Osterville over 75 years ago was to serve the customers with honest, affordable and reliable service. Over the years we have made an effort to provide the best service possible to our customers.
It is the people of the company that determines its success. We still remain a family run corporation with an extremely highly trained group of professional technicians. As a company, we are making a promise to consistently deliver quality service to you. Over the seventy-five years in business our customers have come to rely on it. Simply seeing the logo or hearing the name tells our customers the product or service is worth the investment.

“Company History”
In 1932, during the Great Depression, Carl F. Riedell and his wife Ethel started the company. Together they ran the company out of the home they built in Osterville, while raising a family of six children. In 1972, Carl S. Riedell bought the company from Carl F. and Ethel. Though Carl S. still owns the company, he is slowly stepping aside for his son Guy (Carl A.) to take over the family business.
Currently Riedell employs approximately 30 people. Our staff includes 3 foreman, 4 master plumbers, 24 MA licensed employees and 3 office administrators, each of whom takes great pride in keeping Riedell customers happy.
Riedell spends over $15,000 a year on training for its employees in order to remain on the cutting edge of current technology. Assisting Cape Cod Regional Technical High School and Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School by allowing students to complete their Cooperative Education portion of their program, Riedell’s is able to help younger generations to start off on the right track when they enter the plumbing, heating or HVAC field.
A Note From Guy:
Though our company has been through many ups and downs for over three generations, we remain to be strong and competent. I am proud to be given the opportunity to carry on the Riedell business for my grandparents, Carl and Ethel, who started the company in 1932.
The professional employees that have become part of our family here at Riedell’s over the past years portray the respect that we have for our customer’s and the high quality work that we provide. Please take the time to discuss any plumbing, heating, air conditioning, or water filtration problems you may have with our competent office staff. They will lead you in the direction you need to go in order to make certain that your issues are resolved.
