A Lifetime in the Trades
Plumbing runs deep in Robert’s blood. As a third-generation plumber, he grew up around the trade and has built his career on hard work, problem-solving, and pride in doing the job right. Over the years, Robert honed his skills working for respected companies including: Wild West Plumbing, Lake Valley Plumbing, and Mr. Rooter. These experiences gave him insight into every side of the industry—from large-scale residential and commercial systems to service calls in mountain cabins and rural homes. But they also revealed something important: Montana needed more plumbing companies that put quality, honesty, and professionalism first.
We Love What We Do
At J&R, plumbing is more than pipes and fittings—it’s an opportunity to grow, connect, and build something meaningful every day.
“I love that every day brings something new. New places, new challenges, and new people. And when the work is done right, there’s an incredible sense of pride that stays with you. That’s what drives me.” - Robert Hutcherson, Owner
Whether it’s a new construction install, a water heater repair, or a complex drain and sewer issue, J&R Plumbing approaches every job with the same goal: to deliver results we’re proud of and service you can trust.
Origin Story
After working for a few shops, Robert saw a real need for more diverse, dependable plumbing options in the Flathead Valley. Homeowners and contractors deserve a team that could handle complex jobs with care, precision, and professionalism. We also recognized a shortage of qualified tradespeople in the industry—and I wanted to be part of raising that bar.
J&R Plumbing was created to meet that need. Today, Robert and his team are proud to serve customers throughout Kalispell and beyond with honest advice, expert workmanship, and an unwavering commitment to doing the job right.
