Our story
One truck and a promise in 1989. Still keeping it.
Powell's started in Winchester in 1989 with one truck and a simple idea: do the job right, and treat every home like your own. More than 35 years later, that promise still runs the shop on Windy Hill Lane.
Winchester is the biggest of our three branches and the only one that does it all: plumbing, drains, septic and wells, standby generators and, now, heating and cooling. Our crews cover Frederick County and the surrounding counties of Virginia and West Virginia, from the valley floor to rural lots where homes run on their own wells and septic systems.
Readers of The Winchester Star have voted Powell's their “Best Plumbing Company” six times: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
