Who we are

When you hire Makin Plumbing & Contracting, you’re getting Mark — a highly certified professional who brings years of experience, strong craftsmanship, and genuine care into every home he works in.

Mark is a Red Seal Journeyman Plumber and Gas Fitter, trained to handle everything from routine repairs to full plumbing installations for renovations and new builds. He believes in doing things the right way, with reliable results you can count on long after the job is done.

His professional credentials include:
• Safety Codes Officer Certificate – Plumbing & Gas
• Red Seal Journeyman Plumber / Gas Fitter
• H2S Alive
• CSTS
• WHMIS

Mark also holds one of the most demanding qualifications out there: Poppa to two little girls. Between bath time, experiments with soap, and the mysterious amount of hair that somehow ends up in drains, he has truly mastered the art of keeping pipes clear under pressure.

One expert. One direct point of contact. One person who truly stands behind his work.
