Hernandez Plumbing

The family business started when Pedro Hernandez came from Havana, Cuba to Miami, FL in the late 1960s to start a new life. Coming here to this country with nothing but his family and education, he decided to study and became a CPA. Being that his older brother was a great plumber and he needed someone to run the books for him, they decided to go into business and open Hernandez plumbing.

Hernandez plumbing was established in 1972 and still in operation today!
For most of the following 40 years after Hernandez plumbing was established, Rafael Diaz, his son-in-law, helped run and maintain the company’s reputation, operations, and sales.

Fast-forward to 2011, Alejandro Diaz, being the only grandson out of 5 boys that were ever interested in the plumbing business decided to take the family business to the third generation.

Alejandro learned early on in his life about hard work growing up around the plumbing business. He started going out to work with his father as a kid in the summers usually digging ditches to run pipes. He then worked in the company while attending FIU to graduate with a bachelor’s in business, became a service plumber, started running the service department, to eventually studying and getting the difficult state plumbing license.

During the years of working in the service department, he realized that it was better to be the best in a few things than mediocre at all things when it came to the plumbing business. That is when we started focusing on only 3 things and became the best at it. Those three things are 24-hour service plumbing calls, cast iron replacements, and bathroom/kitchen remodeling. We now have a 13,000 sq. ft. facility in the center of Doral with these three separate divisions that handle these specific problems.
