Follow on Google News | After 50 years, Sacramento based Armstrong Plumbing steps up to buy its own commercial propertyBy: East West Commercial Real Estate One of the most unique aspects of Armstrong Plumbing's new facility is the fact its the former home of Roto-Rooter, who originally constructed the building in 1977 for its own use. Much to the surprise of Marcelle Flowers (President & CEO of Armstrong Plumbing), the building had already been outfitted with an elaborate series of custom cages, designed specifically for a plumbing company. It was like walking into a turn-key operation, except for the 2,000 Sq.Ft. first and second floor office areas, which will be completely remodeled with a woman's touch. One of the most telling signs of Flower's imprint on the family business is the recent re-branding campaign, which coincides with the 50 year anniversary. The new company logo is Geraldine Hoff Doyle, who was believed to be the unwitting model for the "We Can Do It!" poster of a woman flexing her biceps in a factory during World War II. Not to mention, there is now a pink swoosh on the company logo, which reminds you this is not her father's plumbing company anymore. Flowers grew up in the family business, which her father, Tom Vance, founded in 1964 as Vance Plumbing. He later purchased Armstrong Plumbing of Sacramento in 1985 and recruited his kids to work at an early age. To this day, two of Flower's brothers are actively employed at Armstrong Plumbing and their 81-year old father can be seen working at the shop daily as well. It's really quite a legacy when you think about it.
