I married my wife in 1988 she began the tasks of operating the office arranging financing and managing operations. She is still the president of the company

I served as the plumbing inspector in Dedham MA. I am the former president of the Northeast Massachusetts Plumbing and gas inspector’s association. I began teaching at Newton evening school in 1990 until it closed. I am currently an instructor at central mass technical school. I am also an industry consultant and act as an expert witness involving litigation involving plumbing and heating.

In 2009, my son in law William R. Coombs joined the company. He had a great deal of construction experience and held a Massachusetts builders license before becoming a plumber. He is the holder of our corporate certificate with the commonwealth of Massachusetts and secretary and registered agent of provost plumbing. He holds a master plumbers license and a master sheet metal workers license. If you call for service you most likely will be speaking to him or myself. I’m honored and lucky that he decided to join our company and carry on our family business. My wife Delfina Nellie Provost is my best friend. She still acts as president of our company. She is an Air Force Vietnam veteran.
