Ernie runs the office. Before she married Mark she was a producer for a live news talk radio station in San Francisco with an audience of over a million people, and those organisational skills are what keep our jobs running smoothly. Together they make a team that has earned a loyal, long standing customer base.
A team that stays
We are very proud of our low staff turnover. Our two licensed plumbing and drainlaying staff have been with us for 17 years and 6 years. They share our commitment to quality workmanship and take real pride in their work. Mark has also trained numerous apprentices over the decades, two of whom have gone on to receive regional and national awards.
Help with renovations
Renovations can be a stressful time for homeowners. To keep the stress down, we offer a full project management service. We have long standing relationships with quality sub-contractors, including builders and electricians, and working with the same trusted trades over many years has proven instrumental in reducing the problems that can come up in a renovation. You can see how we approach this on our renovations page.
