40+ Years of Doing It Right.
Arthur The Plumber is a family-owned Middle Tennessee contractor — built on honesty, quality workmanship, and crews that show up.
How It Started
More than 25 years ago Arthur was working for another plumbing company when he walked away — he didn't agree with how customers were being treated. He believed people deserved repairs done correctly, the first time, at a fair price.
So he started Arthur The Plumber. For over 25 years it's been family-owned, and that same standard runs every job today.
James Is Growing the Crew
Arthur's son James grew up in the trade and spent over 22 years working alongside his dad before taking the reins. Today James is the owner and operator of ATP, leading the company and expanding it into excavation, demolition, underground utilities, and full site development.
The work has grown — but the rule hasn't changed: do honest work, and stand behind it.
