About Us:
Larry L. Jones, PresidentAt Universal Plumbing our objective is to offer complete professional plumbing service at reasonable rates. It is important to us to establish a working relationship with our customers built on quality workmanship and trust.
Our reputation for fair prices and professional service plays a major role in the company's success and growth, since much of our business comes from referrals and repeat business.
Our employees are also key to our success. They are required to be fully qualified in all areas of plumbing including residential, commercial, and new construction, where schematic and blueprint readings are required.
They are skilled in offering advice on preventive maintenance and repair to the customers and confident in their ability to solve all plumbing problems. Universal Plumbing is the city's largest plumbing service contractor, and its owner is known and respected in both black and white business circles.
"I think he's got a great company," said Rick Busby, the vice president of Busby's Inc., the market's largest heating and air-conditioning service. "He's one of the nicest, most professional people I have ever met."
Universal Plumbing's 12-employee operation is very much a family business. Mr. Jones hired his oldest brother, David Jones Jr. (who was Augusta's first black motorcycle cop), to run his warehouse operation not long after he retired as captain of the Augusta Police Department.
Jamelia & ClaudiaYounger sister Claudia is the office manager, and Mr. Jones' daughter, Jamelia, works as a receptionist when she is not in class at Augusta State University. Mr. Jones' mother drops by from time to time to pick up his dirty laundry.
