Hoffmann Brothers

Celebrating their Hoff-iversary's this week is these 5 individuals! Their dedication, hard work, and passion for what they do make all the difference in our success. Thank you for your commitment to excellence and for being an essential part of the Hoffmann Brothers family. Here's to many more years of growth and success together! 👏

We don’t try to be the cheapest in town. We want to be the best in town. Hoffmann Brothers has plenty of competition. If you need  a plumber, an electrician, or an HVAC technician in St. Louis or Nashville, I can almost guarantee you that the price we quote you will not be the lowest. I do believe that we will be the best, though. Why? In the home services industry, companies get equipment from the same vendors at the same prices for the most part. So we pay the same for that water heater or air conditioning unit as the HVAC company down the street does. If a company is cheaper than we are, it likely means they’re either: • sending someone less qualified to do the work or • cutting corners that make it difficult to stand behind the work after it's done. A lot of people will choose a company that provided a lower bid after getting a quote from us. But we get calls from those folks every day when they can't get anybody there to answer the phone after a problem arises. We never want to be in that position. We will always stand behind our work. That’s why we hire the best field professionals in the industry and manage our schedules to address any warranty calls that come in. That's also why we’re never going to be the cheapest in town. But I’m willing to bet that we’re the best.

THREE-PEAT! We did it again! 🎉 Hoffmann Brothers has been voted the Best Plumbing Company in St. Louis for the 3rd year running! 🏆 Huge thanks to our amazing customers and the St. Louis A-List for the honor.

What happens to a water heater over 20 years?  This video shows a few things that happen.   Ray, an instructor at Hoffmann Brothers University, recorded this video while taking an old water heater apart.   This clip shows a few common issues with sediment in water heaters. - The water you drink and bathe in flows through this tank. Gross! There is a misconception here in St Louis that we have ‘good water’. This footage shows the value of water treatment and water quality. A good plumber can give you options to make sure your water heater doesn’t look like this. - Sediment buildup reduces the lifespan and efficiency of the water heater. Ray found more than 4” of sediment in the bottom of this 20-year-old tank.  The sediment acts as a layer of insulation between the flame and the water you are trying to heat. - Sediment also slows down the rate at which your water heats up. If you find yourself running out of hot water, you might have a sediment problem.    Thanks to Ray for making this video and giving me an excuse to share these tips.    If you have any water heater questions, drop them below. I’ll do my best to answer. 

Big thanks to Ferguson Roofing! We had a lot of great takeaways to provide better service to our customers and ensure safety for our professionals while they're on rooftops.

Last year, Jess was fixing jacuzzi tubs on a showroom floor. She wanted to get into the trades, but... She didn't know how to get started with a company. She couldn't afford the $30,000/year tuition for traditional trade school. She couldn't do night school because as a single mom without enough childcare. Then she heard about a Hoffmann Brothers University plumbing class for people interested in getting started with the plumbing trade. The course would involve both intensive lab time and field training with experienced Hoffmann Brothers plumbers. Plus students would get paid during their training. And because students technically became Hoffmann Brothers employees upon beginning the program, she and her kids could immediately get great health insurance coverage.  Jess applied. Out of 150 applicants, Jess was 1 of 5 people accepted to the program. We started HBU to create a path into the trades that otherwise wouldn't be there for people. The HBU path prioritizes: • cost-effectiveness • practical experience • the people. Jess and her classmates went through 5 months of rigorous training with Christian Telford and other great professionals. They graduated from that course in February. Jess has now started her career as a plumber and is doing well. Why do I share her story? Because Jess is inspiring. And she's exactly the type of talented, motivated person we need more of coming into the trades.

Happy Birthday to our fantastic CEO, Chris Hoffmann! Your leadership, vision, and dedication inspire us every day. Here's to another year of success and innovation. Cheers to you!

My dad started our business in 1988. He aspired to reach $10 million of revenue during his career. In 2016, he passed the torch at Hoffmann Brothers to my brother Joe and I, having achieved this goal. Here are five invaluable lessons our dad taught us. 1. How you get there matters as much as where you are going.      He once was given the option to use eminent domain to take control of an adjacent home to grow our business.  Instead, he bought and rehabbed a house across the street and traded for the home we needed. 2. Don't compete on price.      Be the best.  People pay a premium for the best.     3. Be generous.      With your teams.  In your communities.  It always comes back to you tenfold. 4. Being a business owner doesn't mean you can't be a great (and present) dad.      He coached my baseball team.  He got home for family dinner (most nights).  He spent his weekends with his family. 5. There is always enough time in the day.      To take care of yourself.  To be with your family.  To build a great business.    Manage it well.  In 2024, our current brands will reach $140 million. ------------ If you're interested in joining Hoffmann Brothers, we have a number of roles we're actively hiring for in both St. Louis and Nashville.
