The History

Valley Plumbing and Heating, Inc. has proudly served La Junta, Colorado and the surrounding areas since 1962. What started as a small, family-run business founded by Dean and Ethel Oquist has grown into a trusted, multi-generational company known for reliable service, deep experience, and community commitment.

​

Dean and Ethel built Valley Plumbing on strong values: quality workmanship, honest pricing, and treating customers like family. Their children— Don, Rob, and Mike—joined the business, bringing fresh energy and expertise. 

​

Today, Valley Plumbing continues that proud legacy with the next generation now actively involved in daily operations. Our team has grown to include even more skilled professionals—many of whom have been with us for years—allowing us to offer a wide range of modern services.

​

Though we've grown in size and services, our roots remain the same: family, integrity, and a strong commitment to our community. From sponsoring local events to volunteering and serving on community boards, giving back has always been part of who we are.

​

When you choose Valley Plumbing, you're not just hiring a service—you’re joining a family tradition over 60 years in the making.

​

Experience you can trust. Service you can count on.
