Who We Are
We specialize in high-quality plumbing and fire protection services for custom homes, retrofit, remodels, tenant improvements, and multi-family construction projects ranging from 300 to 400 units. Our team provides comprehensive pre-construction services and design support, working closely with owners, developers, and general contractors to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and to the highest standards. With extensive experience navigating the City of Seattle’s requirements, including ADA-compliant units and heat pump systems, we bring both technical expertise and practical field knowledge to every job.
Our History
BPG Plumbs was formed as a strategic evolution of Best Plumbing Group, a company founded in 1968 by Werner Skowronnek and Spencer Bell. Originally focused on residential plumbing repair, remodel work, and a showroom, the company built a strong reputation for craftsmanship and dependable service. In 1993, Bill Lilleness acquired the business and expanded its capabilities into residential and commercial construction. Over time, the company developed deep expertise in multi-family and custom residential plumbing systems.
As this segment grew, BPG Plumbs, LLC was established as a dedicated entity to serve multi-family, tenant improvement, and custom residential markets. This structure allows for greater focus, agility, and scalability while maintaining the same ownership, team, and commitment to quality.
Today, BPG Plumbs builds on more than five decades of experience, delivering high-quality plumbing systems for multi-family construction, custom homes, tenant improvements, and residential fixture procurement throughout the Puget Sound region.
A Wide Range of Technical Expertise
In addition to new construction, BPG Plumbs offers a wide range of specialty services, including residential fire sprinkler system design and installation (Washington State approved, excluding the City of Seattle), re-piping of existing waste and water systems, whole-house leak detection, and advanced water filtration systems.
At the core of everything we do are our values of integrity, accountability, and putting the customer first. These principles guide our team in delivering reliable solutions, clear communication, and a level of service our customers can depend on.
What We Do
Whether modernizing aging infrastructure to meet insurance requirements, customizing sprinkler finishes to complement residential interiors, or installing Bluetooth-enabled leak detection systems that provide added security and potential insurance premium savings, BPG Plumbs delivers tailored solutions designed to protect both property and peace of mind.
Custom Builds and Remodels
BPG Plumbs partners with homeowners, builders, and designers to deliver high-quality plumbing systems for custom homes and residential remodels. From early planning through final installation, our team ensures every component integrates seamlessly with the overall construction process while meeting the highest standards for performance and reliability.
We also provide fixture procurement services, helping clients select, source, and coordinate plumbing fixtures to align with project design, budget, and schedule. By managing procurement, delivery, and package completeness, we reduce the coordination burden on project managers and ensure all components arrive complete and ready for installation.
Tenant Improvements
We provide plumbing solutions for tenant improvement projects across residential and light commercial properties. Our team works efficiently within existing building systems to reconfigure plumbing layouts, upgrade fixtures, and support renovation timelines while minimizing disruption to the building and surrounding tenants.
Multi-Family
BPG Plumbs has successfully completed multi-family new construction plumbing projects for more than 30 years, ranging from three-unit developments to large-scale communities of over 300 units. We provide full pre-construction services and design support, collaborating with developers, architects, engineers, and general contractors to streamline project planning and execution.
Our team is highly familiar with the City of Seattle’s requirements, including ADA-compliant units, heat pump water heating systems, and the complex permit and inspection processes associated with large residential developments. We also work closely with engineers of record to navigate the Seattle Commercial Energy Code, including Section C404 requirements.
New Construction
From ground-up residential construction to large-scale developments, BPG Plumbs delivers comprehensive plumbing installation services tailored to each project. Our team works closely with project stakeholders to ensure systems are installed efficiently, meet all code requirements, and support long-term reliability for the building and its occupants.
We also provide clash detection and BIM coordination support, working alongside the construction team to identify and resolve conflicts early, improve coordination across trades, and keep projects on schedule.
Residential Fire Sprinklers
We are an NSF 42 certified company and have the ability to design and install Washington state approved residential fire sprinkler systems, excluding the City of Seattle. This includes customizing finishes and sprinkler heads to match the Interiors of your residence
Renovation of Existing Waste and Water Systems
Property owners often choose to replace existing plumbing systems when ongoing maintenance and repair costs become excessive or disruptive. In some cases, insurance carriers may also require system replacement to maintain coverage.
BPG Plumbs specializes in upgrading waste and water systems in occupied buildings. We work closely with tenants and property managers to keep facilities operating under normal conditions—whether by scheduling work after hours or restoring plumbing systems at the end of each day to maintain livable conditions.
Water Filtration Systems
We design and install advanced water filtration systems tailored to the specific needs of each property. Whether improving water quality, protecting plumbing fixtures, or addressing regional water conditions, our systems are designed to provide reliable, long-term filtration solutions for residential properties.
Whole House Leak Detection
We have various manufacturers that allow us to provide a custom solution to any residential home. Most devices are Bluetooth controlled on your smart phone, adding a greater degree of security and peace of mind. There’s an added benefit as most insurance carriers will provide a deduction to your premium for this device.
