About Rosco Plumbing

In 1983, Ronald Reagan was in the White House, the Dolphins were heading to the Super Bowl, and Rosco Sr. bought a used work van, loaded it with tools, and started fixing pipes in Bradenton. He didn't have a website or a marketing budget. He had a handshake and a promise: “Treat every home like it's your own.”

That promise resonated. In a community like Bradenton, where everybody knows everybody, reputation is currency. Rosco Sr.'s dedication to honest work at fair prices earned him a following that grew year after year. Neighbors told neighbors. Realtors recommended him to new homeowners. Churches called him for their annual maintenance.

When Rosco Sr.'s son joined the business, he brought the same values and a fresh set of skills. He expanded the team, invested in new equipment, and added services like water heater installation and bathroom remodeling. But the core promise never changed.

Today, Ross— the third generation — leads the company. He grew up riding in that van, watching his father and grandfather solve problems and build relationships. That upbringing shaped his approach: modern techniques backed by old-school accountability.

We didn't pick Bradenton — we grew up here. The Rosco family has roots in Manatee Countythat go back decades. We know this place. We know the homes that were built in the '60s with galvanized pipes. We know the developments from the '80s with polybutylene. We know the newer communities in Lakewood Ranch where hard water is the main concern.

We know that when a tropical storm rolls through in August, the calls start coming. We know that the sand in Parrish is different from the clay in West Bradenton, and what that means for your sewer line. We know the HOA rules in Heritage Harbour and the gate codes at Del Webb. This isn't just where we work. It's home.
