About Armstrong Plumbing

A Plumbing Company with Backbone

We’ve been in the trenches of Sacramento’s plumbing systems since 1964—and we know them better than just about anyone. Armstrong Plumbing is a full-service, woman-owned company that blends old-school values with modern mastery. Whether you live in a historic Craftsman or manage a commercial property, our expert team is equipped to handle your toughest plumbing problems with honesty and care.

Unlike many others, we don’t work on commission. That means no inflated pricing or pressure to “upgrade.” Just trustworthy, thoughtful service at a competitive price—always. Over the years, we’ve built our reputation by solving the problems others can’t, especially in older homes where cookie-cutter fixes don’t work.

At Armstrong, we don’t just fix pipes. We build relationships

    No Pressure, Ever

    We’re proud to be one of the few plumbing companies in Sacramento whose technicians don’t work on commission. That means your plumbing needs are evaluated with care, not sales pressure. We’re here to give honest answers and do what’s best for your home or business.

    Craftsmanship That Lasts

    Our plumbers are true tradespeople. Every fix, installation, or repipe is done with precision, because quick-and-dirty just isn’t our style. We do it right the first time.

    Respect for Your Time

    We won’t leave you waiting around. When we say we’ll be there, we mean it. From your first call to the final cleanup, we’re committed to showing up on time, communicating clearly, and keeping your day moving.

    Experts in Older Homes

    Old pipes don’t scare us. In fact, we specialize in them. Sacramento has some beautiful, aging homes—and we know their quirks inside and out. You can count on us to navigate antique plumbing with skill and care.

From Family Roots to Local Legacy

This business started the old-fashioned way—with a man, a wrench, and a lot of grit. Back in 1964, our founder Tom Vance learned the trade under his father and eventually earned his title as Master Plumber. He launched Vance Plumbing, then acquired Armstrong Plumbing in 1985 and brought his kids along for the ride.

Tom raised us in this business with two clear expectations: get it right, and treat people right. We’ve carried those values with us ever since. Every plumber we hire is a certified journeyman or apprentice who shares our commitment to doing the job well—and doing it with integrity.

Today, Tom’s daughter Marcelle leads the company as CEO. As one of the area’s only woman-owned plumbing companies, Armstrong continues to honor its roots while building a future defined by trust, mastery, and deep respect for the people we serve.

Mastery Over Shortcutting

Every technician we hire is trained to think critically and work with care. Our focus isn’t speed—it’s doing the job well enough that it doesn’t need to be redone.

Honesty Above All

If something can be repaired, we’ll tell you. If it needs replacing, we’ll explain why. Transparency is a baseline, not a bonus.

Treat Every Home With Respect

We’re guests in your space, and we act like it. That means clean work areas, protective gear when needed, and attention to detail from start to finish.

Keep Getting Better

The industry changes. Codes evolve. New tools emerge. We stay sharp with ongoing training so that we bring you the safest, most effective solutions possible.

What People Are Saying

We could talk all day about the quality of our work—but it means a lot more coming from the people we’ve helped.
