Company History

Founded in 1930 by Ernest D. Rowand, the business opened during the Great Depression. Ernest focused on steady work and reliable crews. Two decades later Alfred Christensen joined and learned the trade for many years. Christensen later passed the business to Henry Benitez.

Henry Benitez kept the practical approach to work and customer care. Today the company is family run. Henry’s wife Donna and daughter Christine help with operations. The company keeps many of the original service values while working on modern heating and plumbing systems.

Leadership

Henry Benitez leads field teams and office staff. He trained under Christensen and has long experience in plumbing and home improvements. The business keeps a local presence in Richmond Hill and often works on older homes that need careful pipe and heating updates. The family attends local events and supports community needs when heating or water problems arise.
