Most plumbing companies send a truck. Pace also keeps a store. It is why the sign out front has said "Pace Plumbing Co. & Supply" for decades, and why the neighborhood has been walking in for parts about as long as it has been calling for service.
Come get the part
Fittings, valves, water heater parts and repair pieces are stocked in the building on McGowen Street. If you are handy and the job is small, the counter is faster and cheaper than an appointment. If it turns out the job is not small, we will tell you that too, and the trucks are right there.
Tool rental inside
Some jobs need equipment nobody should have to buy for a single afternoon. Pace rents tools out of the same building. Call the counter at 713-659-7669 to ask what is available and what it runs, since the rental fleet changes.
Advice included
The person behind the counter is a plumber or from a plumbing family, which is a different experience than an aisle at a big box store. Bring the broken piece with you, or a photo of where it came from, and you will leave with the right part rather than the closest looking one.
Contractors welcome
Pace has supplied Houston plumbers and contractors out of this building for decades. No account is required to buy at the counter.
