Chris Hance Headshot
Chris Hance Master Plumber

Chris is one of our master plumbers. He started his plumbing career in Colorado in 2001. He has been a licensed plumber in multiple states but returned to Colorado in 2020. Because of his exposure to different areas of the plumbing trade, he has experience in almost all aspects of plumbing. He has specialized in service, repair, and remodeling for the majority of his career.

Chris shared: “Over the years, people have asked me why I like plumbing. I always reply by saying there is no better career. I love the constant change in my day to day. There are very few careers where you can get immediate gratification from the work you do. I feel lucky to be able to see the good I do and meet so many great people on a daily basis.”

“‘Plumbers protect the health of the Nation.’ This is a very old slogan that I take very seriously and include it in my work philosophy.”

Chris is from the East Coast, a proud father, and a snowboarding enthusiast.
