Ben Lewis Plumbing

What Ben Lewis Plumbing does

Ben Lewis Plumbing, Inc. is a privately held, independently owned specialty trade contractor founded in 1974 and headquartered in Clarksburg, Maryland, with a secondary office in Annapolis Junction. The company provides new-construction plumbing and fire protection installation services to residential and commercial builders across five to six Mid-Atlantic markets — Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and per some sources Delaware. Its core product set comprises four lines: New Residential Construction (single-family and townhome plumbing with green-building guidance), New Commercial Construction (plumbing and fire protection for multi-family and commercial buildings), Emergency Warranty Services (24/7, 365-day post-construction emergency response), and Quality Control Services (a dedicated inspection department with certified inspectors).

The business operates a B2B enterprise field-sales model in which the company is engaged by builders (general contractors and developers) during pre-construction and is embedded as a subcontractor on the construction site, coordinating with other trades. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific rather than disclosed. Notable customer relationships include national homebuilders Lennar, D.R. Horton, Pulte, Beazer, and LGI Homes, alongside regional builders such as Harkins, DRB Homes, Morgan Keller, Wormald, and Rycon. Revenue, funding, and M&A history are not disclosed in available sources, and management is led by President Matt Goundry and Vice President Mike Bowersox.
