Howe Brothers Plumbing was started in June of 1948 by the original "Howe Brothers" Rodney and Raymond "Mike". The company did all types of service work including repairs, remodeling, new construction and even heating. In the mid 1980s Howe Brothers stopped doing service work and began focusing on do-it-yourself products and information. Howe Brothers Plumbing has won a historic preservation award at its Willy Street location, built in 1899.
