Harley Perry and employees at a chili cookoff.

Perry Plumbing is a family-owned and operated business that began in 1977, a company that develops an employee culture based on family. This means that our management style is more educationally oriented to help our employees become the best they can be. Every Tuesday morning, for instance, owner Harley Perry meets with his technicians and staff to discuss the jobs at hand and how they can be optimally carried out. It is an information-sharing routine that keeps employees fully in the loop.

Employees are more than just a number; they become “family” when they join our dynamic team. They are treated with respect and support, and they are taught to be professional in every aspect of the customer service experience, and to treat the customers’ homes as if they were their own.

Harley is well respected and trusted by both his employees and his customers. Thus the customer retention rate at Perry Plumbing is exceptionally high. His desire to educate staff and to increase the professionalism of the plumbing industry is exemplified by his work with the PHCC Academy, which he founded. He is also the current President of the Foundation that oversees this organization.
