Plumbing & air, done right the first time.
Patterson Plumbing Inc has kept Texas City homes running since 1987. From burst pipes at 2am to a new central air system in July — we show up, explain it plain, and price it flat before we turn a wrench.
About Patterson
Three generations of Gulf Coast tradesmen. One phone call away.
Walt Patterson opened the doors in 1987 with one truck, a pipe wrench, and a rulebook his father gave him: "tell the customer the truth, then do the work like it's your own house." That rule still runs the shop.
Today the crew is twelve strong — master plumbers, EPA-certified HVAC techs, and apprentices who learn the Patterson way from day one. We work Texas City, La Marque, Dickinson, San Leon, and the Bayshore corridor. New construction, retrofits, emergency calls, and the kind of small jobs the bigger shops won't bother returning.
Every install is permitted, inspected, and backed by a written warranty — not a handshake and a shrug. You'll meet the tech before the work starts, you'll see the price before the work starts, and you'll get a walkthrough when it's done.

Why Patterson
Four things we won't compromise on.
Licensed & insured
Texas Master Plumber license M-28471 and TACLB HVAC certification. Two million dollar liability policy. We carry the paper, you carry no risk.
Flat-rate pricing
You see the price before we start. Not an estimate, not "time and materials" — a real number on paper. If the job grows, we stop and re-quote.
90-minute response
Emergency calls average under 90 minutes on site across our service area. We dispatch from the Texas City yard, not from Houston.
Written warranty
Parts and labor backed in writing — 1 year on repairs, up to 10 years on full system installs. If it fails, we come back. No debate.
