Paul McRoberts’ father, Earle McRoberts, strongly encouraged his sons to enter the trades. Beginning in ninth grade, Paul McRoberts took many trade courses and chose plumbing as his major. In 1984, at the age of 31, he started Paul McRoberts Plumbing & Heating, which included new residential construction installations and residential service. The heating side included water heating, baseboard heating and boilers.
In 1992, McRoberts was introduced to radiant under-floor heating, and was very interested in the concept and the way it worked. As his contracting company changed, the name changed, too. In 2000, iFH Designs and Installations was born.
