A family business serving Northwest Arkansas since 1965
Three generations of Stiths, one name on every truck.
Stith Plumbing & HVAC has deep roots in this region. Gary Stith’s father and uncle started it in 1965, and the family still runs it from the shop on Lowell Road in Springdale. Homes and commercial properties across Northwest Arkansas have called the same number for decades.
- 1965
- Gary Stith's father and uncle found the company. Their idea is simple: do honest work, treat customers right, stand behind every job.
- 1992
- Gary joins the family business. He learns it from the inside, solving real plumbing and HVAC problems for real customers.
- 1998
- Gary buys the business and keeps the standards his family set decades earlier.
- Today
- Still family-owned. Three generations of Stiths have solved plumbing, heating and cooling problems for Northwest Arkansas, and Stiths still work the trucks.
Owner, Master Plumber, HVAC Specialist
Gary Stith
Gary joined the family business in 1992 and bought it in 1998. He carries decades of hands-on plumbing and HVAC work, and he kept the tradition of dependable workmanship the founders started.
Gary’s credentials
Master Plumber, Medical Gas Certified, Boiler License, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Pipe Fitter, HVAC/R Registrant, and Universal EPA Certification.
That mix covers plumbing, gas, heating equipment, cooling and mechanical work. It is why one company can send the right person to a water heater, a boiler or a walk-in cooler.
The crew at the shop
Two field divisions and one front office.
Homeowners get the Residential Plumbing and HVAC Division. Restaurants, offices, shops and facilities get the Commercial Plumbing Division. Both divisions answer to the same family and the same phone number.
