About Us
Alger Plumbing and Heating was established in 1962 by Jim Engels, a Korean war veteran and native of Grand Rapids, MI. Upon his return from the war, he apprenticed in plumbing and acquired his Master Plumber’s license. Jim purchased a truck and his tools, and started his own plumbing business. His wife Dee, has answered the phone and dispatched for the company for 50 years. Their long time Master Plumber, Dan Piebenga, continues to operate the company with the same work ethic and philosophy of providing quality services and materials at a reasonable and competitive price.
