SERVING BC AND THE YUKON FROM THE NORTH SHORE SINCE 1911
When Keith Plumbing and Heating opened their doors in 1911, the City of North Vancouver was four years old and on the verge of a building boom. Hundreds of working families flocked to the young municipality, attracted by low housing prices and proximity to Vancouver. Known as “The City of Houses”, North Vancouver was fertile ground for development and the new residential plumbing contractor expanded as homes on the North Shore became increasingly numerous and sophisticated.
The decades that followed saw steady growth and in 1949 the company incorporated as Keith Plumbing and Heating Co. Always adapting to the times, changing consumption patterns in the early fifties saw the firm add a selection of household appliances to their range of products and services. At one point you could walk in to their showroom and purchase a new television set or a state-of-the-art electric stove.
In 1954, Paul Myers joined the company as a young plumbing
apprentice. By 1970, the appliances were gone, Keith Plumbing
and Heating Co. was doing $350,000 a year in business, Paul
Myers owned the company, and their tradition of staying
on the leading edge continued.
Today, still under Paul’s steady guidance, the company
has transformed from a residential plumbing contractor to
one of BC’s and the Yukon’s largest mechanical contractors
employing up to 200 people. Specializing in plumbing, heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning for hospitals, laboratories
and major construction projects, Keith Plumbing and Heating
Co. has been a significant partner in building and renovating
a host of high profile structures throughout BC and the
Yukon since 1911.
It’s been a long journey from the pioneer days in North Vancouver to the high-tech world of modern construction mega-projects, but Keith Plumbing and Heating’s unwavering focus on service excellence, technical skill and loyalty to their staff has earned them industry awards, the respect of their peers and an increasingly large role in the development of BC and the Yukon as they head proudly toward their centennial year. |
