Multiple generations of the Leone family have answered the same call: honest work, fair pricing, show up when you say you will. The trade has changed. The standard hasn't.
P.A. Leone founded this company in 1955, in the years Syracuse was building fast and needed reliable tradesmen who stayed. He built a reputation on one idea: do the work right, charge fairly, and the customers will come back. They did. And they brought their children, and their children's children.
Today, Leone & Sons remains a family-owned, multi-generational shop. The address on Basin Street hasn't changed. The phone number has barely changed. The standard of work has not changed at all.
We're not a franchise. We don't have a dispatch center. When you call the shop number, you reach the shop.
Every decade brought something new — new materials, new codes, new technology. We learned each one. The first water heater we serviced in Syracuse was installed before the Turnpike opened. The last one was installed last week.
P.A. Leone establishes the shop at 208 Basin Street, Syracuse. One family, one city, and a commitment to reliable tradework that Central New York could count on.
The great residential expansion across Clay, Camillus, and DeWitt. Leone & Sons roughed in bathrooms and kitchens across the metro. Some of that copper is still in service today.
Syracuse's commercial district grows. Leone & Sons moves into commercial plumbing, boilers, and steam systems — specialties that most shops would later abandon. We kept them.
Named warranty service for A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Rheem, and Moen — relationships that hold to this day. CNY residents call the manufacturer and get directed to us.
Thousands of homes in Central New York built with pipe that wouldn't last. Leone & Sons became one of the region's primary repipe contractors — copper and PEX, done right, warranted.
Syracuse's building wave. Leone & Sons sizes and plumbs some of the city's first tankless water heater installs. New construction rough-in for residential and commercial builders across CNY.
Same shop. Same address. Same phone number (mostly). The Leone family carries the license and the legacy — the same standard of work started in 1955, with 71 years of Syracuse plumbing knowledge behind it.
We tell you what's actually wrong. If the fix is small, we say so — even when we could charge more. Customers who trust us call us back for thirty years. That math works out.
You know the price before the work starts. No "diagnostic fees" tacked on after the fact. No surprises on the invoice. The quote we give is the price we charge.
We give you a window and we arrive in it. If something changes, we call first. Your time is not less valuable than ours. Syracuse has been counting on us since 1955 partly because we actually show up.
If something we touched fails, we fix it. Full stop. We have customers who've been with us for four decades. You don't keep those customers without meaning it when you guarantee your work.
Leone & Sons carries the New York State Master Plumber license that every job requires. Licensed, bonded, and insured — the documentation Syracuse contractors, property managers, and homeowners need before a plumber touches their building.
The shop team knows Syracuse houses — the cast-iron stacks, the galvanized supply lines, the fixtures nobody makes anymore. And they know the new builds going up across CNY. The work hasn't changed. Know what you're doing, charge fairly, and stand behind it.
71 years of Syracuse plumbing knowledge answers the shop line Monday through Friday. Five minutes on the phone usually tells us exactly what you need.
