Company Overview

Testing of backflow valves. We provide services for replacing and repairing water heaters, bathtubs, showers, toilets, sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, and frost-free hose bibs. We proudly serve Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, and the surrounding communities. My expertise includes plumbing remodels and new builds.

I began my plumbing career in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1977 with a local plumbing contractor. Shortly after, I enrolled in an apprenticeship program, attending classes two nights a week for four years, excluding summer breaks. Through this program, I learned about different plumbing installations while working for various companies. I started my own plumbing business in San Jose in 1988. Later, I relocated my family to Klamath Falls, OR, where I operated Helwig Plumbing Co. throughout the 1990s. Currently, I live in the picturesque Carson Valley, specifically the Minden-Gardnerville region, delivering services via Helwig Plumbing Co..

I completed a four-year plumbing apprenticeship from 1982 to 1986. For more than 15 years, I have been self-employed. I graduated from high school in San Jose and pursued over two years of general education at community colleges. I also worked as a partial owner and estimator for a mid-sized plumbing firm. I oversaw staff, managed projects, performed CAD drafting, and took care of company administration. I am now focused on addressing the service and repair needs of the Carson City area, including Minden and Gardnerville.

After years of waiting for our water heater to give out, it finally did. Went to shower and the water was warm. I checked out Yelp Reviews and called a couple of places for quotes and availability. This company was the 2nd call. Don answered immediately. He gave me a quote to replace the water heater, labor and all parts. He volunteered to come over after he was done for the day to check it out and make sure there wasn't something more I needed. He called to tell me he was running a little late and check to make sure if it was still okay to come by. He was very sociable and knowledgeable. His price was better then the other quote for the same size and model water heater. We agreed to get it done. He came over first thing in the morning. He went above and beyond. He was clean and cleaned up after himself. He got it done in less than 3 hours. We will definitely use him again if we need someone.

The recirculating pump on our hot water system was on it's last legs. We called Don, who responded promptly, and asked that we text him pictures of the existing system.

He found a much better (and quieter) replacement for us, and was able to install it the next day. Both Don and his son Andrew were a pleasure to work with; professional, pleasant, on-time.
