in 1929 and passed on to Steve Powell Jr. In the early 60’s William Powell assumed control of the company; at that time it was primarily a residential plumbing company. In 1966 my Father, Charles Johnston Sr., started part time after school as a helper and continued on after graduation progressing in the trade. He received his Master Plumber’s license in 1975 and purchased the company on January 1
, 1976. In 1991 I began working part time, after school and during the summer, alongside my father learning the trade. In 1996, after graduation I continued working, now full time, and learning more about the trade. In 2001 I received my Master Plumber’s License, and on October 1, 2010 I purchased the business from my Father. We have since expanded our operation to include all phases of Plumbing and HVAC. From spigot washers to water mains, we have installed it all. Changing times means a company has to change with it, requiring new ideas and ways of thinking. With a solid commitment to the Plumbing and HVAC industry Powell’s Plumbing & Heating will be around serving many more generations.
