No one ran their company like the one he came from in California. With a will to succeed and a lot of hard work, he built a company that stands on honesty and integrity placing the needs of his customers 1st.Allens Plumbing Inc. quickly became a family affair.

It was at this point that Allen decided to move the company to our location on 54th Avenue North in St. Petersburg, FL, clearing the land and building most of what you see today, all while continuing to hold himself and his growing staff to the highest standards. Shortly there after Allens parents, Lee and Dorothy came to work at the office with Lee working in the show room and maintaining the grounds, while Dorothy quickly became an instrumental figure in the office. Allen continued to grow the services that were to be provided to the customers and expanded the equipment and materials to be able to give the customers the most complete plumbing service experience that exists in the greater St. Petersburg, FL and Clearwater, FL area.
