Company History

Cates Plumbing LLC started because the owner was working seven days a week. Juggling a full-time job for someone else while taking on his own plumbing work became too much. He decided to commit fully to building his own business. It wasn't long before Cates Plumbing was running just as hard and fast as he was, but now on his own terms, serving the local community he knows so well.

Leadership & Local Roots

The owner of Cates Plumbing got his start in the trades doing landscaping and flooring. In 2001, a family friend asked if he'd be interested in learning plumbing. He said yes, and never looked back. Now, many years later, his deep experience informs every job. Family is his top priority, and running his own business gives him the flexibility to be there for his kids' school events—a value that translates into understanding the importance of home and family for his customers in Vancouver, WA.

What Makes Cates Plumbing Stand Out

• Owner-Operator Focus: The owner is often on the job himself, bringing hands-on expertise to every call.
• Practical Experience: With a background in multiple trades, he has a well-rounded understanding of how homes are built and maintained.
• Community Commitment: As a local resident, he's invested in the quality of work done in his neighbors' homes.
• Clear Communication: We explain the problem, the solution, and the cost upfront with no confusing jargon.
