Our History
Our name goes back to 1951 and Anthony (Tony) D’Agostino. Tony and his wife, Mayme, started Anthony Plumbing in 1951 in the basement of the family’s home at 7538 Mohawk, Prairie Village, KS. As the business grew, so did the family clan, adding five sons to the workforce. Paul, the oldest, started in the industry like many others as a youngster running and fetching for his father. In 1999, Paul became the sole owner of Anthony Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. In 2007, he sold it to Steve Burbridge (former Owner of Neal Harris, 1982-2005). Currently, no D’Agostino family member is involved with the company.
Steve, like Paul D’Agostino, learned much about the plumbing and the HVAC business through his dad, Ralph Burbridge. Ralph owned Waldo Plumbing & Heating and then bought Neal Harris Heating, AC & Plumbing in 1982 when it was a one-truck, two-person operation. Steve vowed to grow the business to new levels by providing exceptional customer service with “Technicians You Can TRUST With Your House Keys®.”
The company has added electrical services, has over 250 coworkers, and operates out of two locations in Lenexa, KS, and Independence, MO. Technicians receive over 100 hours of training per year to serve you with the highest quality of service in our marketplace. The company operates Anthony University, an apprenticeship program that trains men and women to learn the skilled trades.
