Why Hiring a Veteran-Owned Business Matters (More Than You Think)

Why Hiring a Veteran-Owned Business Matters (More Than You Think)

When your home faces a plumbing issue, you need more than just a technician — you need someone who will treat your home with the care and seriousness it deserves. Someone who doesn’t cut corners. Someone who respects your time, your trust, and your investment.

Now imagine that person brings the precision of military training, the discipline of active duty, and the integrity of a life spent in service.

That’s what you get when you hire a veteran-owned plumbing company.

And here’s the truth: it matters more than you think.

Integrity Is a Standard, Not a Selling Point

In today’s world, integrity in service work can feel rare. But for veterans, it’s the baseline.

Veteran plumbers aren’t just trained in technical skills — values like honor, commitment, and respect have forged them. At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, our founder, Trevor Riendea,u didn’t just serve in the Navy Seabees — he led by example, and that same no-nonsense, mission-first mindset drives every job we take on.

That means no shortcuts. No pressure tactics. No inflated quotes. Just honest plumbing by a team you can count on.

Our clients notice:

“It was like they were working on their own house. With care.”
— Mike C., Stars and Stripes Customer

Military Precision Translates to Superior Workmanship

In the field, perfection isn’t a luxury — it’s survival. That’s why military professionals are trained to get it right the first time.

That same level of precision is what sets veteran plumbers apart. Whether it’s water heater installation, slab leak detection, or emergency repair, the Stars and Stripes team approaches every task with a step-by-step method rooted in our service background.

We don’t just fix the problem — we analyze the cause, walk you through the options, and make sure it’s done right and done once.

“Solved the problem without ripping into the walls… truly a great experience.”
— Daylon H.

Integrity Is a Standard, Not a Selling Point

Trust Is Earned, and Veterans Know How

According to a 2023 study by SCORE, nearly 70% of Americans trust veteran-owned businesses more than non-veteran ones. Why? Because veterans are known for their discipline, accountability, and honor-bound service ethic.

At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, trust isn’t an afterthought — it’s our currency. We show up when we say we will. We follow through. And we treat your home like we treat our own families’ — with care, clarity, and professionalism.

It’s no wonder our Google reviews speak for themselves:

“Courteous, professional, and thorough… We’ll refer them to our friends and family.”
— Jenna M.

When emergencies strike, that trust means everything. You need someone who won’t just patch the issue but will take ownership of the solution — the same way they took ownership of their duty when they wore the uniform.

Your Dollars Support More Than a Business — They Support a Mission

Hiring a veteran-owned company is more than a transaction — it’s an act of support.

Veteran-owned businesses like Stars and Stripes Plumbing reinvest in their communities. From sponsoring local youth sports to offering discounts for fellow veterans and first responders, our team is deeply committed to giving back.

We’re not part of a national chain. We’re your neighbors — and your dollars stay right here in Snohomish County.

Even more, veteran businesses often employ other veterans, creating pathways for those transitioning from service into civilian trades. It’s a cycle of service that honors those who’ve sacrificed for our country — and brings that spirit of service into your home.

Purpose-Driven Plumbing Delivers More Than Pipes

Plumbing is about more than fixing a leak. It’s about safeguarding your home, protecting your family’s health, and creating peace of mind.

Veteran plumbers understand this better than most. We know what it means to protect something that matters — and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

At Stars and Stripes, we view our work as an extension of our mission to serve. That means educating customers about water health, offering honest recommendations (not sales pitches), and always delivering what we promise — or better.

We’re not the cheapest. We’re the most committed.

When you hire Stars and Stripes, you don’t just get a plumber — you get a partner who takes pride in protecting your home with the same honor and diligence we brought to military service.

Real-World Impact: Veteran Plumbers You Can Count On

  • Mike saw a repair done with such care he wanted to invite us to his birthday.

  • Daylon avoided thousands in damage because we showed up early and solved the issue without destruction.

That’s the Stars and Stripes difference: military-grade precision meets hometown service.
