J.D. Stollwerck — Owner / Operator

The Stollwerck Story

I'm J.D., Owner / Operator of Stollwerck Plumbing & Sewer — the culmination of a lifelong passion for the trade.

Starting at age 16, I was already framing houses. I worked my way through high school and college building things with my own hands. After earning a B.A. in history from Western Washington University, I realized that being a craftsman was my only job-related passion — and teaching in a classroom wasn't. So I decided not to continue on with my teaching endorsement.

While I was pondering my next move, my best friend, who was running a plumbing and sewer company in Seattle, offered me a job until I figured things out. That's when I was introduced to commercial plumbing. I quickly developed a fascination with new construction and with designing and installing commercial waste, potable, and non-potable water systems — and I became a plumber.

My father was another great influence. Until my late teens, I worked alongside him in food, beverage, and retirement-housing management — always watching, learning, and working. His militaristic teaching of proper communication and manners was impressed upon me as a youth. Later I absorbed the customer-service skills that he lived by in business. Those lessons are why we run Stollwerck the way we do today.

I built Stollwerck around the values I trust most: efficient and effective communication, expert workmanship, and standing behind every job. We don't use contractors. Every member of our team is a fully licensed plumber, and we carry insurance above Washington state mandates so we can work where others can't. Whether you need a same-day repair or a complete sewer replacement, you get the same upfront honesty, fair pricing, and 1-year guarantee.

From Mukilteo to Lynnwood, Bothell to Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace to Everett, Lake Stevens to Snohomish, Marysville to Whidbey Island — Stollwerck is here to help.
