Since 2005

Your Neighbors, Your Plumbers

What started as one plumber and a truck has grown into Western North Carolina's most trusted plumbing company. But our commitment to honest, quality service has never changed.

Blue Ridge Mountains

Our Story

Jim Patterson grew up in these mountains, learning the plumbing trade from his father who worked for one of Asheville's oldest plumbing companies. In 2005, after 15 years as a master plumber, Jim took a leap of faith and started Blue Ridge Plumbing with nothing but his tools, his truck, and a commitment to treating every customer like a neighbor. That first year, Jim answered every call personally, did every job himself, and built a reputation one satisfied customer at a time. Word spread through the tight-knit Asheville community - here was a plumber who showed up on time, told you the truth about what needed fixing, and charged a fair price. Today, Blue Ridge Plumbing has grown to a team of 8 skilled professionals, but our values haven't changed. We're still the neighbors who show up when you need us, treat your home with respect, and stand behind every job we do.

Our Core Values

What guides every decision we make

1

Honesty First

We tell you what's actually wrong, not what makes us the most money. If a $15 part will fix it, we'll tell you - even if we could sell you a $1,500 replacement.

2

Quality Craftsmanship

We use quality parts and proven techniques. We fix it right the first time so you don't have to call us again for the same problem.

3

Respect Your Home

We wear shoe covers, use drop cloths, and clean up after ourselves. Your home deserves the same care we'd give our own.

4

Community First

We're not a franchise or a national chain. We live here, our kids go to school here, and we're invested in this community for the long haul.
