Company History

Charlie Miner Novato CA started from long experience on gas systems. The owner has worked at PG&E for over 30 years and has held a plumbing license for more than 25 years. Over time the business grew naturally as neighbors and local contractors asked for help. It remains a small, hands-on operation that focuses on safe, code-aware gas work and straightforward plumbing repair.

Leadership

The owner brings deep utility and field experience from decades at PG&E. He maintains active knowledge of gas safety and local codes. His son, Ryan, is a licensed plumber who handles weekday jobs and follows the same safety practices. Between the two, customers get experienced technicians with local knowledge of Marin’s varied home styles — from waterfront cottages in Sausalito to hillside houses near Mount Tamalpais.
