GiftedHands Plumbing Inc. is a master-licensed plumbing contractor led by Zain Porter, serving Durham Region and the east end of Toronto.
A special gift
The name GiftedHands comes from Zain Porter’s gift for plumbing and what he does with it. Clients kept praising his workmanship and his work ethic, and Zain decided to use that gift to help his community with their plumbing needs, no matter how big or small the job.
GiftedHands was born out of a desire to share joy through giving and through a passion for the trade, for the good of everyone who relies on plumbing that works. We don’t just fix pipes. We build lasting relationships through transparent service, mentorship and doing the job right the first time.
Passing the trade on
Zain’s drive to help others is why GiftedHands takes on young men and women who want to enter the plumbing trade but need the foundational skills to get started. He teaches on the job, and the crew that shows up on your site learned the trade from him.
“Zain knows his trade and a good teacher to junior team members too.”
Built on referrals
GiftedHands has grown mainly through faithful referrals from satisfied clients. Zain brings 14 years in the trade and master-licensed expertise, and the company is fully licensed, ASSE backflow certified, insured and covered by WSIB.
