My journey in plumbing started in 2002, working in both residential and commercial construction, and handling maintenance jobs. I moved into service plumbing as my primary focus, and I also dabbled in heating and air conditioning for a time. Following some layoffs in the industry, I decided to start my own business. I recognized a demand for a plumbing service, that emphasized proper workmanship over financial gain.

In total, I have 21 years of experience in plumbing, before entering plumbing, I was engaged in the construction sector, and I previously served in the Navy as an aircraft engine technician. I established my company to ensure excellent workmanship, taking a hands-on approach, without breaking the bank.

Hello, I’m Stephen, a native of Birmingham, AL. My mother had a career in law, and my father worked in lumber. When I was about six, we relocated to Shelby County, in Helena, AL, and later returned to Birmingham as I approached twelve, where I attended Homewood High for two years, before moving to Irondale, where I graduated from Shades Valley in 1991.

Following high school, I served in the Navy as an aircraft engine mechanic, where I was assigned to VP-4 at Barbers Point, HI. Upon leaving the service, I entered the construction trades, working alongside my uncles in heating and air, and eventually received plumbing training, which I eagerly took.

During my downtime, I love to read, mountain biking, traveling, hiking adventures, and enjoying the beach during summer. I also engage with charities when possible, providing food boxes to those in need, and helping those who are struggling. I am passionate about combating animal abuse, and I am equally committed to addressing child abuse.
