Kennedy Plumbing & Heating

Kennedy Plumbing & Heating, Inc. has operated from Livonia, Michigan since 1980, making Paul Kennedy a fixture in the local trades community for more than four decades. Paul holds a Licensed Master Plumber credential along with plumbing and mechanical contractor licenses, and his son Brian joined the shop as a Master Plumber to help run daily operations. Across 42 verified customer reviews, the shop earns a 4.8-star average rating, with every review in the public sample earning the full 5 stars. Both Paul and Brian answer service calls, giving residential and commercial clients direct access to the licensed master plumber on every job.

What separates Kennedy Plumbing & Heating from the neighborhood handyman is the breadth of work the two-man shop handles without subcontracting. Paul and Brian move between simple residential faucet swaps and complex commercial restaurant kitchen plumbing, including sanitary and multi-unit apartment systems. This range lets a homeowner call the same shop that qualifies a commercial tenant buildout, a convenience that eliminates the need to vet separate contractors for a renovation versus a weekend repair.

Reviewers who named a technician consistently called out Brian by name for scenarios that tested professional judgment. Stan Vilhauer described how Brian assessed a washer-dryer relocation the day after Stan called, then steered him away from a change that would have caused a drain problem, later replacing Stan's 22-year-old water heater and fixing a gas leak in the same visit while cleaning up the work area before leaving. Gina Lucaj credited Brian with flagging $600 in unnecessary repairs that another company had quoted, a discovery she made by comparing estimates rather than by accepting the first proposal.
