About
We started Penguin Home Services because we were tired of hearing horror stories about contractors taking advantage of homeowners or leaving a mess behind. We wanted to build a company that treats your home with the same respect we treat our own.
Here is what makes us different:
- We Show Up: When we say we'll be there, we're there. No 4-hour windows where you're stuck waiting.
- No Surprise Bills: We believe in honesty. We give you a flat, upfront price before we start any work.
- Total Peace of Mind: Our technicians are background-checked, drug-tested, and trained to leave your home cleaner than they found it.
We personally guarantee your satisfaction. If it’s not right, I will make it right.

I was impressed with the service I received! The technician arrived the day after I called to schedule an appointment. He quickly diagnosed the issue and explained everything clearly. He was punctual, professional, and left the work area clean. The app was also a fantastic tool, keeping me informed about the technician's arrival time. My repairs were completed efficiently, and everything is now working perfectly. Highly recommend!

Came by within a few hours and was here at the time he said he would be. We have a difficult problem and he discussed the phases of work to solve the issue. He was open, honest and upfront with the cost. He completed the first step while he was here.

I had a great experience with Penguin. They were very professional, on time and did quality work for a fair price. Andrew did an excellent job fixing my sink and replacing my faucet. I highly recommend them and will use them again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge a $50 dispatch fee, but this fee is waived if you decide to proceed with the work. We provide flat upfront pricing at that time with no forced commitment. We are currently offering $100 of all water heater installations. We also offer our Penguin Protection Plan membership at $19/month or $228/year, which includes annual maintenance visits and priority scheduling.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a quick call or message to understand what's going on. We'll get you on the schedule fast - usually within 24-48 hours. Our tech shows up on time in a marked van, does a full diagnostic, and walks you through exactly what's needed and what it costs before touching anything. Once you approve, we get to work. After the job we send a full digital summary and follow up to make sure everything is right.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team holds Colorado Master Plumber licensing - the highest credential the state issues. All work is performed under a licensed Colorado Plumbing Contractor registration with the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and meets or exceeds all Colorado and local code requirements. Every technician on our team is trained to our internal standards before stepping foot in a customer's home, with ongoing training as new systems and technologies emerge. We don't cut corners on credentials or preparation - that's non-negotiable for us.
