Over the years, B.C. Plumbing has hired female plumbers. But owner Bruce Cohen has found it difficult to keep them, losing them to other contractors or to office work.
“I’d love to see more women in the trades,” he said. “They’re meticulous, and they’re articulate.”
He tries to recruit female plumbers, “but they just aren’t out there.” Cohen said he thinks the image of plumbing as a muscle job is off-putting.
“The truth is, it’s 90 percent skill and 10 percent strength,” he said. “I don’t need big, strong people, I need skilled people.”
BC Plumbing is very proud of the accolades received over the years, including Louisville Magazine’s “Best of Louisville” (BEST PLUMBER), AND Louisville’s BEST PLUMBER by LEO Weekly readers in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Thank you for your support!
