I'm Roberto Luongo. I got my plumbing license in Ontario and spent two decades on the tools. In 1998 I started Bosco Plumbing. I grew it, serviced homeowners across southern Ontario, and sold it in 2018.
After I sold, I watched the industry change. Private equity moved in. Commission pay became the standard. The guys I trained who used to care about doing the job right were now being pushed to upsell. Customers started reaching out to me — not for plumbing work, but for advice. "Who can I trust?" "Is this quote fair?" "Are they ripping me off?"
I realized there's no honest middleman in this trade. Directories sell your information to whoever pays the most. Review sites are gamed. Google's Map Pack rewards whoever spent the most on SEO.
So I built Residential Plumbing Consultants. I vet every plumber personally. I check their license, their insurance, their WSIB, their BBB rating, their vehicle signage, and their track record. If I wouldn't send them to my own mother's house, they don't get on the list.
You submit your job. I send it to the plumbers on my approved list. They compete for your business. You choose who shows up. It's free for you. The plumbers earn the opportunity to work with you.
That's it. No tricks. No hidden fees. No selling your info to the highest bidder.
