For the past 15 years, Steve Baker had a plan to start his own plumbing company. Last year, that dream was finally achieved with the opening of Gideon Plumbing in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada. The company specializes in residential plumbing, drain cleaning and underground utility replacements.
“I had a very distinct vision for a startup that could only be done one way, and for many years, I didn’t have the capital or the know-how to achieve it and/or make it a success,” Baker says. “I’m an entrepreneur for sure, but a very calculated one. Gideon Plumbing is the culmination of all the experience I have acquired over the years from many great teachers in this industry, and I believe this is what has made our company an immediate success story.”
