Florida-licensed contractor CFC029715, qualifying agent Joseph DiMaria personally on the license since July 1984. Family-owned and operating in West Palm Beach since September 1981 — a 44-year continuous local presence Palm Build's three other plumbing partners can't match. Gas appliance, equipment, and piping is their published specialty. Open 24/7, same-day service, no overtime charges, Saturdays included.

Most West Palm Beach plumbers cannot say their license has been held by the same person on the same address for 41 unbroken years. Dee Maria can — Joseph DiMaria has held Florida CFC029715 personally since July 1984, with the company itself anchored in West Palm Beach since September 1981, BBB file open since 1997, and a published Florida specialty installer credential for gas appliances, equipment, and piping.
CFC029715 is registered to Joseph DiMaria personally. Issued 07/21/1984 by the Florida DBPR, status Current/Active, valid through 08/31/2026. Same person, same license number, same business address, four uninterrupted decades. Among Palm Build's vetted plumbers, this is the longest single-holder license tenure by a wide margin.
The /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page states Dee Maria is 'licensed by the State of Florida as a specialty installer of appliances, equipment and piping.' Gas-line work is the lead specialty on this vendor profile — a credential Palm Build's three other plumbing partners do not surface as their top differentiator.
The BBB profile (West Palm Beach, file 0633-17000635) shows a file open on Dee Maria Plumbing since 1997 with an A+ rating. A 28-year third-party reputation horizon at A+ is the longer-horizon counterweight to short-sample aggregators like Yelp. (Per BBB the company is not currently accredited; the A+ rating stands on its own.)
Every Dee Maria Plumbing employee is drug-tested and criminally background-checked through the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, per the company's own /residential-services/ and /commercial-services/ pages. That language is verifiable and specific — not the generic 'trustworthy professionals' line most plumbing sites carry.
Per the /commercial-services/ page: 'There are no overtime charges, we are open on Saturdays and all of our work is guaranteed.' Most Florida plumbers run a 1.5× to 2× weekend or after-hours rate; Dee Maria publishes a flat-rate posture across the week and into Saturdays. Worth confirming with the office if a job is scheduled for an actual emergency-call slot, but the published policy is unusually customer-friendly.
Dee Maria's published service area centers on West Palm Beach with Palm Beach County coverage. That anchor complements Bergeron Plumbing's Delray-and-St-Lucie radius, Borkat Plumbing's Miami-Dade-through-Keys reach, and Copperhead Plumbing's veteran-owned northern-PBC arc. The four vendors share Palm Beach County in the same way four neighborhood diners share a county — different histories, different specialties, same dispatch zone.
Florida-licensed under CFC029715 (Joseph DiMaria, qualifying agent, issued 07/21/1984, Status Current/Active through 08/31/2026), with a published Florida specialty installer credential for gas appliances, equipment, and piping. BBB file since 1997, A+ rating. Here is the paper trail.
Credential 01
Certified Plumbing Contractor — Joseph DiMaria, qualifying agent. Status Current/Active per Florida DBPR, license issued 07/21/1984, valid through 08/31/2026. The same person has held this license personally for 41 continuous years.
Credential 02
Per Dee Maria's own /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page: 'licensed by the State of Florida as a specialty installer of appliances, equipment and piping.' Distinct from the other three plumbers on Palm Build's Trusted Vendors list — none of whom lead with a published gas-piping specialty.
Credential 03
Operating in West Palm Beach since September 1981 (per Dee Maria's Instagram bio and the about-page 'SINCE 1981' anchor). One of the longest continuously-operating independent plumbers in Palm Beach County — and the longest tenure among Palm Build's vetted plumbing partners.
Credential 04
BBB rates Dee Maria Plumbing, Inc. A+ on the West Palm Beach BBB profile (file ID 0633-17000635). The BBB file has been open since 1997 — a 28-year third-party reputation horizon. Per the BBB profile they are not currently BBB Accredited; the A+ rating stands on its own.
Primary State License
License held personally by Joseph DiMaria (DI MARIA, JOSEPH per DBPR record). Issued by Florida DBPR. Verified through myfloridalicense.com — Status Current/Active, issued 07/21/1984, valid through 08/31/2026.
License Holder
CFC029715 — Since 1984
Qualifying Agent & License Holder Since 1984
Joseph DiMaria is the qualifying agent on Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC029715 — issued in his name on July 21, 1984 and active continuously since. The Florida DBPR record reads 'DI MARIA, JOSEPH' and the business name on file is 'DEEMARIA PLUMBING INC,' the same name that has been operating in West Palm Beach since September 1981. That makes Joseph the rare contractor whose name has been on the license-holder line and on the front of the truck for 41 unbroken years on a single Palm Beach County address. Dee Maria Plumbing self-describes as a 'family-owned and operated' shop that has served South Florida residents and businesses since 1981 — and the company's public posture, from the BBB file open since 1997 to the gas-piping specialty installer credential to the drug-tested + Palm-Beach-County-Sheriff-background-checked employee policy, is built around the same one person staying accountable for the work.
A heritage shop with one license holder for 41 unbroken years and a published gas-piping specialty is a specific posture — not the default for any Palm Beach County plumber. The name on the work and the name on the license-holder line are the same person — and have been since long before most of the company's current customers were born.

From Florida-licensed gas appliance and piping installs (their published specialty) to hydro-jet sewer cleaning at 4000 PSI and tankless conversion in 1920s El Cid bungalows — here is the full menu, drawn directly from Dee Maria's own service pages.
Dee Maria's flagship specialty per their /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page — gas piping installation, repairs to existing gas piping systems, and hookups for major gas appliances. Includes natural gas and propane. Residential and commercial. Florida-licensed specialty installer for appliances, equipment, and piping under CFC029715.
Repair and replacement of tank-type and tankless water heaters with old-unit removal and disposal. The /water-heater-repair-and-replacements/ page explicitly addresses 'Am I able to change to a tankless water heater system?' as a customer consultation — they handle the conversion start to finish.
Per the /drain-repair-and-replacment/ page, Dee Maria handles drainage 'from a simple under the sink drain to your entire sewer system,' using video pipeline inspection to assess condition before recommending repair versus replacement.
Commercial and residential sewer/drain cleaning using a jet machine spec'd at 100 to 4000 PSI per the company's commercial services page — a heavy-grade range capable of clearing main-line grease, root intrusion, and severe blockages without excavation.
Replacement and repair of backflow prevention devices on residential and commercial supply lines. Annual backflow assembly testing requirements in Palm Beach County make this an ongoing service category — Dee Maria handles both new-install and recertification scenarios.
Faucet repair and replacement across all major brands. Same-day service for kitchen, bath, and laundry fixtures with fully-stocked trucks carrying common parts inventory.
Toilet repair and replacement on every major brand. Wax-ring resets, flange repair, fill-and-flush valve service, and full toilet replacement with old-unit haul-away.
Sink installation and repair, tub and shower valve repair and replacement, copper tubing repair — pulled directly from the /residential-services/ scope list.
Garbage disposal install, repair, and replacement. Most disposals replaced same-visit because trucks carry the common-spec units in stock.
Commercial grease trap maintenance and treatment — a restaurant and food-service category most residential plumbers don't keep on their menu. Listed on the /commercial-services/ page alongside maintenance agreements and water filter systems.
Whole-home and point-of-use water filter system installation and ongoing cartridge replacement — listed on the /commercial-services/ page and covered for residential as well.
Per the /service-agreements/ page, Dee Maria offers ongoing plumbing maintenance agreements for residential and commercial customers — a structured preventive-maintenance contract rather than break-fix only. Detail varies by property; office handles tier scoping.
Open 24/7 with same-day service advertised on every services page. The company explicitly states no overtime charges and Saturday operation as standard — a Saturday call to Dee Maria does not cost more than a Tuesday call.
Flagship Specialty
Dee Maria is "licensed by the State of Florida as a specialty installer of appliances, equipment and piping" — language pulled directly from their /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page. Natural gas and propane, residential and commercial, gas appliance hookup and existing gas piping repair both in scope. The differentiator that earned them the heritage slot on Palm Build's Trusted Vendor list.
Whole-Home Scope
The /water-heater-repair-and-replacements/ page directly addresses tank-to-tankless conversion as a customer-consultation conversation. The gas-piping specialty makes gas-fed tankless conversion a particular strength — sizing the unit, running or upgrading the gas supply, removing and disposing of the old tank, installing the new wall-mount unit, all in a single coordinated scope.
Dee Maria anchors out of 4601 Georgia Avenue in West Palm Beach with neighborhood-level coverage of the city's historic core (El Cid, Northwood, Flamingo Park, Downtown, South End, Palm Beach Lakes) and Palm Beach County coverage extending to the island, Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, and Royal Palm Beach. That heritage anchor complements Bergeron's Delray family shop, Borkat's Miami-through-Keys reach, and Copperhead's veteran-owned northern-PBC arc — four plumbers, one Palm Beach County, four editorial profiles.

The aggregator picture is mixed and we will not hide it. Yelp shows 13 reviews at 2.8 stars; BrightPath aggregates 38 Google reviews at 3.7 stars; Palm Build did not directly confirm a canonical Google Business Profile listing during vetting. Yelp's review-filter algorithm is hostile to long-tenured trade contractors with low review velocity — 13 Yelp reviews accumulated across a 44-year shop runs hard against an algorithm built around recent-volume signals. The BBB file open since 1997 with an A+ rating is the longer-horizon, more reliable signal on this profile.

BBB has a file open on Dee Maria Plumbing since 1997 and rates the business A+ — a 28-year BBB tenure that is, by itself, longer than Palm Build's other three plumbing partners have been in business combined. The A+ across that horizon is the strongest reputation signal on this profile.
— Palm Build editorial signal
Joseph DiMaria has held Florida CFC029715 personally and continuously since July 1984 — a 41-year personal-license tenure on a single business address. The license-holder line and the company name have not changed in four decades.
— Palm Build editorial signal
The /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page states, in the company's own words, that they are 'licensed by the State of Florida as a specialty installer of appliances, equipment and piping.' That specialty installer language differentiates Dee Maria from every other plumber on Palm Build's Trusted Vendors list.
— Palm Build editorial signal
Customer-facing trust language is unusually concrete: every employee is drug-tested and criminally background-checked through the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. That is a verifiable statement, not a 'trustworthy professionals' marketing line.

The aggregator picture is mixed and we won't hide it. BrightPath shows 3.7★ across 38 reviews scraped from Google, and Yelp shows 2.8★ across 13 reviews. Yelp's review-filter algorithm is hostile to long-tenured trade contractors with low review velocity — 13 Yelp reviews across a 44-year shop runs hard against a filter built around recent-volume signals. The 1997-anchored BBB A+ remains the longer-horizon, more reliable signal.
— Palm Build editorial signal
Gas-piping installs in West Palm Beach utility rooms, tankless conversions in 1920s El Cid bungalows, video pipeline inspections in vintage tile kitchens, brass-and-copper craft details — the everyday scope a 44-year heritage Palm Beach County plumber actually runs.

Gas piping & appliance hookup — West Palm Beach
Pulled from real Palm Beach County search behavior, answered with what Palm Build verified during the vetting.
Yes. Dee Maria Plumbing, Inc. operates under Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC029715, held personally by qualifying agent Joseph DiMaria. The license was issued July 21, 1984 and is Current/Active per the Florida DBPR licensing portal, valid through August 31, 2026. Insurance amounts and bonded status are not publicly published; Palm Build recommends asking the Dee Maria office at (561) 833-7543 for a current Certificate of Insurance before any commercial-scope job.
Yes. Dee Maria Plumbing is open 24/7 for emergency dispatch — same number as the standard line, (561) 833-7543. The company's own pages also state, in their words, 'There are no overtime charges, we are open on Saturdays and all of our work is guaranteed.' That published flat-rate posture is unusual in Palm Beach County plumbing — most shops run a weekend or after-hours surcharge. Confirm scope with the office when calling, especially for an emergency dispatch slot.
Dee Maria Plumbing is licensed by the State of Florida as a specialty installer of appliances, equipment, and piping — language drawn directly from their /gas-piping-repair-and-replacement/ page. The work covers gas piping installation, repairs to existing gas piping systems, and hookups for major gas appliances, on both natural gas and propane, residential and commercial. Among Palm Build's four Trusted Vendor plumbers, this published specialty-installer credential is unique to Dee Maria.
Dee Maria Plumbing has been operating in West Palm Beach since September 1981 — a 44-year continuous local presence. Joseph DiMaria has held the company's Florida CFC029715 license personally since July 21, 1984, a 41-year unbroken license tenure under one name on one address. The BBB has had a file on the business since 1997 (rating A+). That heritage anchor is the editorial reason Palm Build vetted Dee Maria onto the Trusted Vendors list — among our four plumbing partners, no one else has this depth of continuous local tenure.
Yes. The /water-heater-repair-and-replacements/ page explicitly addresses 'Am I able to change to a tankless water heater system?' as a customer-consultation conversation. The company handles tank-to-tankless conversion start to finish — sizing the unit to household hot-water demand, the gas-line or electric upgrade if needed (Dee Maria's gas-piping specialty makes the gas-fed tankless conversion in particular a strength), removal and disposal of the old unit, and the new install.
Dee Maria's website does not publish a city-by-city service-area list, but the company self-describes as 'serving South Florida residents and businesses' and operates from a West Palm Beach office on Georgia Avenue. Palm Build references Dee Maria for jobs in the West Palm Beach core plus surrounding Palm Beach County municipalities including Palm Beach (the island), Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, and Royal Palm Beach. Outside that radius, ask the office at (561) 833-7543 to confirm dispatch coverage before scheduling.
BBB has had a file on Dee Maria since 1997 and currently rates the company A+. Yelp shows 13 reviews at 2.8 stars; an aggregator (BrightPath) lists 38 Google reviews at 3.7 stars. The asymmetry is real and we won't hide it. Yelp's review-filter algorithm is notoriously hostile to long-tenured trade shops with low review velocity — 13 Yelp reviews accumulated across a 44-year company runs hard against Yelp's recent-volume bias. The 1997-anchored BBB A+ rating remains the longer-horizon, more reliable third-party signal on this profile, but the lower Yelp average is information worth seeing.
Yes — Dee Maria is one of the plumbers in our Trusted Vendors program, and the heritage shop on the list. Their West Palm Beach anchor and 44-year continuous local tenure complement Bergeron's Delray family shop, Borkat's Miami regional reach, and Copperhead's veteran-owned northern-PBC arc — four plumbers, one Palm Beach County, four distinct editorial profiles. When a water-restoration job in West Palm Beach (especially in older homes where gas-piping work or original-cast-iron drain replacement is in scope) needs a permitted plumbing repair to fix the source of the loss, Dee Maria is who we recommend the homeowner call.
Call Dee Maria's office directly. They are open 24/7 with no overtime charges — Saturdays included. Palm Build does not middle the call. We benefit nothing from your decision either way.
