By 1983, Tina Howe joined the ranks of Bill Howe as the very first customer care representative. Together Bill and Tina laid the groundwork for the 200+ employees that call Bill Howe home. Today, the Bill Howe Family of Companies has evolved into San Diego’s most prominent home services company with an 80% repeat and referral customer base. We offer quality plumbing, epoxy lining, heating and air, and flood and restoration services alongside legendary customer service. We Know Howe!
