Tim from Harts Services rejoins the group to catch up from when they last visited on episode 93. Harts Services has been open in the PNW area since 2013; they have dedicated themselves to the mission of providing high-value plumbing services in Tacoma, Seattle, and surrounding areas. They believe every customer deserves respect and a positive experience and aim to provide professional, top-quality, value-added solutions customers can rely on at competitive rates. Harts Services also opened our much-anticipated academy and apprentice program in 2022 to help connect them with highly motivated individuals looking to enter the field.
