In 1985 I had no intention to start my business, but the company I worked for told me they could never afford to pay me more than $10/hr as a master plumber because they couldn’t raise their prices. I had a wife and one year old and my wife was expecting. I liked my employer, but the money was never going to work. The building business was booming, so to my wife was nervous, I decided by working for building contractors ( none that worked with my former employer). I had a passion for doing quality work and took pride with the completed job. I learned much about the business part of the trade and in 1999 switched to the repair, replacement, and remodeling of plumbing and heating. I still have a passion for good workmanship, but also the best service for our clients and 15 coworkers. We all strive for excellence and continually ask ourselves “what’s in the best interest of our clients”
