It’s still us
Plumbarama, PJ Mac, Cool It and Cavallo are all Trade Flex companies — not subcontractors we hired for the day. Same company, same standards, same job record.
One company, five names on the vans
Five established local businesses. Decades of earned trust. One call.
Trade Flex didn’t start from scratch. We brought together respected local trade businesses — each keeping its name, its people and its reputation — so you get specialists rather than generalists, without having to find them yourself.

01Why the van might say something else
You called Trade Flex. So who just pulled up?
You got the specialist
We send whoever is closest and best suited. A commercial kitchen drain goes to Plumbarama. A heat pump in Delaware County goes to Cool It. That is the point of the model.
Same licensing, same insurance
Every technician works under the same licensing and insurance, and every job is quoted and approved the same way regardless of which name is on the door.
One number for all of it
Whichever team attends, you call the same number, get the same scheduling, and deal with the same company afterwards.
02The businesses
Who makes up Trade Flex
Each of these was a going concern with its own customers before it joined us — and each kept the team that earned them.

03Why we did it this way
Buying trust rather than building it
Getting help from skilled tradespeople has traditionally meant finding a different business for every skill, and hoping each one is as good as the last. We took the opposite approach: rather than hiring generalists and hoping, we brought in businesses that had already spent decades earning a local reputation, and put one phone number in front of them.

04From our customers
What people say about the work
Had a leak day after Christmas. Came right out first thing next morning. Fast repair, clean work. No surprises in bill.
Highly recommend Ryan and his crew over at Trade Flex Solutions. They knocked this one out of the park. Very transparent and professional with every step of the process. I'll be sure to pass their information along to others.
Prompt, clean, honest work. I've been using them for years to maintain my fireplaces.
