The offices of Troy Lumber Company, an 80-year-old lumber mill in Troy, NC, had become cramped, outdated, inefficient, and dilapidated. When they decided to build an innovative new multistory facility featuring cutting-edge architecture, eco-friendly construction, and state-of-the-art facilities, they turned to Pride Plumbing for their unmatched plumbing expertise, comprehensive solutions, superior craftsmanship, and reliable service.

Pride Plumbing met the challenges of this project head-on by providing the following solutions:
