Our Story
Growing up with a Master Plumber as a father, I started working with him on weekends and during the summer since the age of 11. Digging ditches, crawling through attics and crawlspaces. Then I moved up to cleaning pipe and preparing fittings, while watching him plumb step by step so I can anticipate the tool or piece he'd need next so I could have it in hand ready to go for him. Eventually he would leave me on a job site with the tools and materials and just instructions on what I had to do there.
At 25 I asked him to sign off on my experience so I can test for my master's license. Since his customer base was small and the jobs were all relatively minor and repetitive, he told me only after I went to work for other companies to learn what he hadn't had the chance to teach me. From there I went to work at a company doing residential and commercial service work in houses, condos, and businesses.
Once that work became repetitive again, I moved on to be a traveling plumber, doing major Wal-Mart and Sam's club remodels on a large scale across the country. When that contract was up I returned to South Florida and went back into service work, this time at a company where I ran a service truck and was acting foreman on my own job sites, sometimes managing up to 4 of my own men as well as other subcontractors I hired to help get the job done.
Along the way, I learned other plumbing adjacent skills such as minor electrical, hvac, carpentry, tile, mold remediation, drywall, and painting, as sometimes the best way to get something done is to do it yourself. Those are the skills that I am proud to offer my customers as a culmination of 20+ years in the construction industry.
