Wimpy's Plumbing & Air
Company Overview
🔺 Open 7AM-4PM 🔻 Top Quality Service Since 1973 🔺 Flexible Financing Options 🔻 Family Owned & Operated
Wimpy's Dependable Plumbing, Inc. began its journey in 1973. The business was named ""Wimpy"" by my father, Winfred Butler, to create a memorable brand. to help customers easily remember the quirky name and connect it with trustworthy service.
Following Wimpy's death in 2003, I made the choice to uphold the same quality service our clients have come to expect. As a third-generation Sarasota native, I grew up in the plumbing trade and became Florida's youngest master plumber at 18. The name ""Bubba"" was given to me by my sister, Lori, who struggled to say brother. With her bright voice and energetic demeanor, Lori has served as our office manager for 38 years.
My son, Mike, represents the third generation of licensed master plumbers in our family. We pride ourselves on being a family-run business that caters to your plumbing needs.
We appreciate your trust in our services!
Sincerely, Bubba Butler
Mike follows in the family tradition as a third-generation master plumber in Sarasota. He began his journey by assisting his Dad Bubba with tools and developed a passion for the diverse challenges each job presents.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Excellent company!! I highly recommend Wimpy's and their installation crew were superb! Very neat, cleaned up afterwards and wore masks. They faced a surprising challenge and stayed to the end to install my new 2.5 Trane combined unit.

Called about A/C unit on a Saturday morning, they returned the call, and had a tech to me in less than an hour. He diagnosed the issue (I knew what it was), did not try to up sell me. They were respectful and fast. Good communication. There was a $165 fee to come out on the weekend, plus the regular cost, but knocked out the 92 degree heat so it was worth it.

We called Wimpy's to get an estimate on a whole house re-pipe job. They came out that day, actually, and we had their estimate in 24hrs. It was 250% higher than the three other estimates we got later. Do your homework and don't get taken advantage of.

We chose Wimpy's for a new A/C based on positive reviews both on Yelp and Google and couldn't be happier. Professional, courteous, always in contact with us and fast. Price was comparable with others. It's never easy coughing up money for an A/C, but we're glad to have chosen Wimpy's. Wimpy's offers Trane A/C units with a 10-year transferable warranty so we know the product is great and we can transfer the warranty to the new homeowner once we're able to run away from the oppressive Florida heat.

I called Wimpy's to repair our AC and they were here the same day. The technician was professional, thorough and the cost of the repair was very reasonable. I will recommend them to friends.

I've used Wimpy's exclusively for all of my plumbing and AC needs for the last 3 years. That doesn't sound like a long time, but when you have a 1970's home that's needed new plumbing, a new backflow, toilets and garbage disposal replacement AND a new AC condenser in a system installed by someone else 4 years ago, I'd say I've had a lot of experience with them! From the first phone call to Lori, to the professional, courteous, prompt technicians who explain every option and quote all pricing before starting the work, they are simply a pleasure to do business with, but most importantly, are a company I trust. Highly recommend whether you have repair or installation needs. (No, I'm not related to anyone at Wimpy's, but they make you feel like family!)

Best company I have ever had the honor and pleasure of working with. Excellent customer service, very professional and loyal. They redid our entire plumbing system and we have nothing but nice things to say. Thanks Lori, Jesse, Evan, Bubba and rest of the Whimpys family. I would give 6 stars if I could, fair on pricing as well.

At 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, with a houseful of relatives expected the next day, our toilet clogged. When we attempted to plunger it, sewage backed up into the bathtub. Panic. I began called plumbers listed as """"24 hour emergency."""" None of them were willing to come until at least the day after Christmas--until I called Wimpy's. Mike cheerfully agreed to come right over--imagine my relief and gratitude! Mike expertly fixed the problem and explained what had caused it. (Make sure no guests ever flush baby wipes, especially if you have old iron pipes!) The cost was very reasonable. We couldn't be more pleased. Wimpy's is highly recommended!

This company provides quality service with professionalism! I really appreciated being able to speak with a knowledgeable office person who immediately scheduled me with a definite time slot. On arrival (on time) the plumber gave me a detailed description of the work recommended with a quote in writing and a specific time slot for his return to do the service. The office called to remind me a day ahead and the plumber called enroute and arrived on time. He was very friendly, performed his work diligently, kept the area perfectly clean, and fully reviewed his work with me when it was done. I am very happy to have finally found a plumber that not only provides competent work but values customer service!

Well they came out on time.. When I called to ask how much the new water heater cost they would not tell me....The bill was 1,280 to install a new one. Looked up the average price of a water heater and it was from 250 to 400 bucks...Guy installed it under 2 hours. so I figure 880 in labor...Wow that is about 440 per hour. I would say that is a great salary. I am out of town, and helpless when my grand daughter called to say no hot water on a 8 year old tank.
