Giving Back to the Communities We Serve
Putman & Sons Plumbing has been part of the Metro Detroit community for decades. We've built our business on the trust of homeowners, business owners, and property managers across Rochester Hills and the surrounding cities. That trust is something we take seriously — and giving back is one of the ways we show our appreciation for it.
We believe that a business is only as strong as the community that supports it. That's why we look for meaningful ways to invest in the neighborhoods and people we serve — not as a marketing exercise, but because it's the right thing to do.
Partnering with Avondale High School
One of the partnerships we're most proud of is our work with Avondale High School in Auburn Hills, Michigan. We partner with Avondale to provide valuable opportunities and support for students — helping them gain exposure to the skilled trades and understand the career paths available in the plumbing industry.
The skilled trades face a real workforce challenge. Experienced plumbers are retiring faster than new professionals are entering the field. By working with schools like Avondale, we're investing in the next generation of tradespeople — the men and women who will keep homes safe, water clean, and infrastructure functioning for decades to come.
Our involvement isn't just about writing a check. It's about showing up, sharing what we know, and giving students a window into what a rewarding career in the trades actually looks like. The plumbing industry offers stability, good compensation, and the satisfaction of solving real problems for real people every day. We want students at Avondale to see that firsthand.
Why Community Matters to Us
When you've been in business as long as we have, you realize that your success is tied to the health of the community around you. The families who call us for emergency repairs, the businesses that hire us for commercial projects, the schools that educate the next generation — they're all connected. Supporting one strengthens the others.
Whether it's through our school partnerships, supporting local organizations, or simply being the plumber who answers the phone at 2 a.m. when a pipe bursts — we're committed to being a reliable part of the communities we serve. That's the Putman & Sons way, and it always has been.
