Started in a Garage, Built on Trust
James Worthington started Atlas Plumbing And Heating back in 2012. After years of working for other companies and seeing too many customers get overcharged or receive subpar work, he decided there had to be a better way.
Armed with a single service van and a commitment to honest work, James set up shop in his home garage in Montpelier. Word spread quickly through the neighborhood — this was a technician who showed up on time, explained the problem clearly, and never pushed unnecessary services.
"I wanted to build a company where I'd be comfortable having my own mom call if she needed help," James often says. That philosophy still guides everything we do today.
