Flat-rate pricing posted online. No surprise hourly fees. Kansas City's choice for 38 years.
// About
Most plumbers give you an hourly estimate that somehow always ends up higher by the time the job's done. At Poor John's, we do things differently.
We post our prices online. We tell you the cost before we start. And we don't charge a service fee just for showing up. That's been our promise to Kansas City homeowners since 1988 -- and it's not changing.
Poor John's was founded by Daryl Welker on a simple idea: give Kansas City homeowners a plumbing company they could actually trust. One that shows up on time, does the work right, and doesn't play games with pricing. Today, Daryl's family carries on that legacy -- and the same commitment to honesty and quality that's kept Kansas City customers coming back for over 30 years.
Our plumbers are licensed, insured, and the kind of people you're genuinely happy to have in your home. Kansas City homeowners mention them by name again and again -- because they take real pride in their work and the relationships they build with our customers.
