Company History

The business began in Bedford-Stuyvesant in 1926 when Louis and Ida Friedman worked out of their home. The trade passed to Irwin Friedman, who became licensed in 1961. Jay Friedman grew up in the business, attended The Mechanics Institute, and earned a Master Plumbers license by 1992. The company is now a fourth-generation operation, keeping historic know-how while adapting to city codes and modern systems.
