Its all new to me.


Hi, I’m Sal Vigilante this is my first post to my first blog. I am hoping to make this as interesting as possible. Ok maybe today won’t be so interesting because, I haven’t even figured out what to write about yet. Going forward we will talk about jobs that go good and even bad. Maybe help a few of my “readers” learn a thing or two about the industry that may be helpful. If you’re a home owner, a plumber or want to be a plumber or a home owner I’m happy to field any questions, observations or general rambling.
Some quick information about us we were established in 1927 by my grandfather Mike and his brother Frank. They were mostly general contractors at the time. In the 1950's my dad Tony his brother in-law Mike Mazzeo and my grandfather Mike bought a plumbing company from a man named Mr. Curry. He was a German man with an accent so thick you could barely understand him. After he sold the business he stayed on to answer the phones (that must have been interesting). He lived to the ripe old age of 96.
Eventually the company stopped doing contract work and focused on plumbing and heating. We added air conditioning in the early 90's. Today the company is owned by my brother Anthony and myself.
Here at Vigilante Plumbing Heating & Air conditioning we deal with peoples comfort, safety and health. Some jobs go from strange to weird back to strange. Other jobs we get to be the heroes and save the day, restore the heat or stop the flood. Either way it’s a pretty interesting job and it’s actually quite satisfying. I mean a lot of what we install today will outlive all of us how many companies can say that.
