Since 1895, the Sullivan shop has served the city and the communities that grew up alongside it — from Belle Meade and Green Hills to Franklin and Hendersonville. One truck, one family, 130 years of Nashville plumbing.
Joe B. Sullivan opened the shop at 292 Hermitage Avenue in 1895, when Nashville was still spreading out from the riverfront. He served the neighborhoods as they grew. So did every Sullivan after him.
The shop is still at 292 Hermitage. Frank Sullivan still picks up the phone. The service area has grown as Nashville has — south to Brentwood and Franklin, east to Donelson and Hendersonville, west to Bellevue and Belle Meade — but every job still comes back to the same address and the same standard of work.
Craftsman bungalows in East Nashville. Brick foursquares in Belle Meade. Mid-century ranches in Madison. The cast-iron stacks, galvanized supply lines, and discontinued fixtures most shops won't touch — we've worked on them since before they were "vintage."
And we plumb the new builds too: Germantown infill, Brentwood new construction, Mt. Juliet subdivisions. Same crew, same standard, whether your house went up in 1920 or last year.
See what we do →130 years of Nashville plumbing means we know the water quality, the pipe vintages, the typical failure modes, and the quirks of each neighborhood's infrastructure — before we arrive.
As Nashville grew, so did our service area. We've been working these communities long enough that many customers are second- or third-generation.
If we can't get to you directly, we know the plumbers who can — and we'll point you to someone you can trust. Nashville's plumbing trade is a small world. We've been in it since 1895.
Call the shop Monday through Friday. A Sullivan picks up. We'll confirm your area, discuss the job, and get you on the books.
