COMPANY HISTORY

Undeterred, “Larry Howe Heating & Plumbing” assisted with contracts across South Dakota before settling down in Sioux Falls where he worked with his son Robert until retirement in 1953. By 1977, Robert’s own sons Larry and Ronald had joined the company, helping continue the family tradition of service for communities across South Dakota.

Today the business is managed by Lawrence’s great-grandchildren Justin and Josh. As the fourth generation of the Howe family, Justin and Josh preserve their family’s reputation for quality services, which now include cooling, fire protection and custom mechanical system engineering.
