Company History

The Scharf family began offering plumbing services in 1925. Over four generations the business expanded from small home repairs to larger sewer projects and commercial contracts. The company kept a local focus, learning to work with older masonry homes and modern builds alike. That long presence in the area has given them experience with seasonal issues like frozen lines, basement flooding from spring thaw, and aging water heaters.

Leadership

Leadership stays within the Scharf family and a handful of long-term managers. The senior team holds trade licenses and carries insurance for every job. Staff members often work with local building inspectors and contractors on remodels and new construction. The company supports apprenticeships and hires locally to keep skills in the community.
