About us

One standard.
Every job.

The Right Man Plumbing was built on a simple frustration: plumbers who show up late, talk down to homeowners and hand over a bill nobody agreed to. We do the opposite — arrive when we said, explain what’s happening, and quote the work before we touch it.

Our story

Local, licensed, and here for the long haul

We work out of Lakewood and serve the families, landlords and small businesses around us — Tacoma, University Place, Steilacoom, Puyallup and out to Gig Harbor and Olympia when the schedule allows.

Our crew has spent years on South Sound plumbing: galvanized supply lines in older Tacoma homes, root-choked side sewers, slab leaks under 70s ranchers and water heaters installed by whoever was cheapest that decade. That experience is why we camera the line before quoting and why we size a heater to a household instead of a box.

Every customer talks to a real person, every job gets a written price, and every install carries our workmanship warranty. That reputation is the only marketing this business has ever needed.

Our standards

Non-negotiables

Diagnose before we sell

Camera, pressure test and inspect first. We would rather repair a heater than replace one that has years left.

Flat-rate, in writing

You approve a number before tools come out. The clock running long is our problem, not your invoice.

Licensed, bonded, insured

Washington licensed for residential and light commercial, with permits pulled where the code requires them.

Respect for the house

Drop cloths, shoe covers, tools off the counters, and a full clean-up before we leave.

Landlords and property managers

Tenant coordination, photo documentation and direct owner invoicing on rentals and multi-unit buildings.

We stand behind it

Workmanship warranty on our labor, manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If it fails, we come back.

The Right Man promise

The price we quote is the price you pay.

You get a flat-rate number before a single tool comes out of the van, a licensed plumber who explains the why behind the fix, and a crew that lays down drop cloths and leaves your home cleaner than we found it.

No surprises

Camera first
