Lynbrook Plumbing started in 1949 from humble beginnings when Philip M. Ragusa, Sr. decided he would leave his work in Brooklyn and concentrate on Lynbrook with its rapid growth in housing and plumbing requirements on Long Island. Like many others he chuckled at the similarity in the two town names. He painted his first trucks bright red, a color choice that continues to this day, increasing their visibility and allowing them to become a part of the growing Nassau County scene.

With four children at the time and another on the way, Philip, Sr. recognized that he had to build a business that could survive long after he was gone. From the earliest of days each of the children took their place in the growing business.

As the family grew so did the team of technicians. Some of the technicians working today have well over 30 years of service to Lynbrook Plumbing, creating an environment of long-term trust and professionalism.

The business grew, as it does today, primarily by word-of-mouth from one satisfied customer to another. One commentator cited Lynbrook Plumbing as the “Tiffany of Bathroom Contracting”.
