Our History

Doug Butler, Owner of Butler’s Plumbing Service Inc has been your Local Plumber for over 40 years in the Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and surrounding areas. 

Doug Butler was born in Warner Robins, Georgia, and relocated to Hardeeville following his high school graduation in 1974. He has maintained a strong familiarity with the region, as he has many relatives residing in the Low Country. He subsequently began his career at a plumbing company in Hilton Head.

After several years of working as a plumber, he found that he had a strong desire to open his own plumbing company.

In 1981, Doug went out on his own and started Butler’s Plumbing Service Inc. He purchase a used Toyota truck for $1,000.00, and built homemade wooden boxes to carry his tools in. He worked strictly by himself for several years before finally hiring his first helper. Because he did not own any of the modern equipment, all sewer and water lines were dug and covered with a shovel, concrete was busted with a sledge hammer, and water heaters were carried on your back. His diligent work ethic and commitment to delivering the highest quality of work attracted the notice of local contractors, who not only gave him the opportunity to work for them, but began to recommend him to others.

By this time the company had grown tremendously and could now afford employees, a shop on the island and all the necessary equipment. Bobcats, trenchers, jackhammers, sewer machines and other equipment allow us to tackle any job.
