About Paul Brown Plumbing
Paul Brown Plumbing & Heating has worked in Hanover since 1983, according to its site, which calls it local and family-owned. Its Class A contractor license dates to August 1992. The state's tradesman list shows Paul M. Brown Sr. holding master plumber, master gas fitter and master HVAC cards since 1995, registered at the same address as the company's license. The site does not say who owns the company today. It works from a home base in Hanover County and has no public storefront.
Most of the site is about household plumbing: water pipe replacement, broken pipes, drain clogs, fixture replacement, and shower and tub swaps, including free-standing tubs and shower systems. It also installs and repairs water heaters, offers same-day repair when a water heater fails, and installs tankless units. The tankless page says those units heat water only when needed.
Renovation plumbing gets its own page. The company says it helps plan kitchen and bath projects and choose fixtures, then installs the tub, shower, sink and piping, and it gives free estimates for renovations and additions. It also takes new construction plumbing and light commercial work for offices and other commercial spaces. Gas fitting covers installing, repairing and replacing gas piping, valves and meters, plus routine testing.
Its site lists a 5% discount for seniors, a one-year warranty on labor and the materials it supplies, and emergency service: same-day on the homepage, 24/7 on the commercial page. The license carries the HVAC specialty along with plumbing and gas fitting, and heating is in the company name, but the site describes no heating or cooling service, so ask about it on the phone. The site is also hiring plumbers.

How to hire a licensed plumber in Virginia
- Plumbing work over $1,000 needs a Virginia Board for Contractors license. Search the company's name or number on DPOR's License Lookup before you sign anything.[7][8][9]
- The license class caps the size of the job. Class C covers jobs over $1,000 and under $30,000, Class B covers $30,000 to under $150,000, and Class A covers $150,000 and up. A higher class means a bigger allowed contract; it says nothing about workmanship.[7]
- A plumbing contractor must hold a master plumber license as a condition of its contractor license, so the record should name a master tradesman.[7]
- Read the specialties on the license. Look for Plumbing (PLB), and Gas Fitting (GFC) for gas lines and gas appliances. A Home Improvement (HIC) license alone does not cover plumbing or gas work.[10]
