Why Palm Build trusts them

The Rinnai-trained tankless and brand-name backflow reasons Flamingo is on our list.

Most South Florida plumbers do not surface tankless water heater installation as a lead service, and almost none publish backflow as a top-line specialty embedded in the legal brand name. Flamingo does both, with a 22-year continuous DBPR license under Paul Shaughnessy, a two-office WPB-and-Palm-City posture that anchors Treasure Coast dispatch, and 813+ Google reviews at 4.9 stars confirming the largest absolute sample on Palm Build's directory. The Rinnai-trained tankless lead, the brand-name backflow specialty, and the Martin County dispatch infrastructure are the editorial differentiators that anchor this profile.

Rinnai-installed tankless specialty — published lead service

Flamingo's tankless water heater service page publishes Rinnai installation, maintenance, and repair as a top-line specialty: 'we can install all of the top brands including: Rinnai, Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, EcoSmart, Bosch — we are experts in Rinnai maintenance and repair' and 'Advanced Rinnai Training' completed by employees. None of Palm Build's other five plumbing partners surface tankless — and Rinnai-trained installation specifically — as a published lead service. For tankless water heater scope, Flamingo is the editorial fit on the directory.

'Backflow' in the legal brand name — top-line specialty

The full legal name is Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services. The dedicated service page covers all four backflow scopes: annual testing and recertification, repair, installation (domestic, fire-line, irrigation), and full replacement. Florida law requires annual backflow certification; PBC Water Utilities recognizes only state- or county-licensed plumbing contractors for backflow work. The 'Flamingo Annual Backflow Care' program publishes automatic scheduling and compliance. None of the other five plumbing partners surfaces backflow as a brand-name lead specialty.

Two offices — WPB primary + Palm City Treasure Coast dispatch

West Palm Beach office at (561) 264-2138, 2781 Vista Pkwy Suite K10, plus a dedicated Palm City office at (772) 266-0400, 4291 SW High Meadows Ave anchoring Martin County dispatch. None of the other five plumbing partners has Martin County dispatch infrastructure from a primary office. The Palm City office is the editorial differentiator that anchors Treasure Coast coverage extending to Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce.

813+ Google reviews at 4.9 stars — largest absolute sample on the directory

Per Flamingo's own Facebook promotional post: '813+ Google reviews. 4.9 stars. That doesn't happen by accident — it happens by showing up on time, doing the job right, and treating every home and business like it matters.' The volume is the largest absolute Google sample of any plumbing partner on Palm Build's directory, accumulated across the longer Flamingo brand tenure (the consumer-facing brand predates the May 15, 2017 acquisition by United Plumbing Solutions).

Florida CFC1426338 — issued 2004, 22-year continuous tenure under Paul Shaughnessy

Paul Shaughnessy holds CFC1426338 as the qualifying agent on the DBA Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services. The DBPR record shows the license originally issued September 15, 2004 and Current/Active through August 31, 2026 — a 22-year continuous license tenure under the same qualifier. Plus Florida State Fire Protection License FPC17-000046 — a credential most residential plumbers do not carry, supporting fire-line backflow and commercial fire-protection plumbing scope.

Honest acquisition history — United Plumbing Solutions, Inc. (May 15, 2017)

The legal entity behind the consumer-facing Flamingo brand is United Plumbing Solutions, Inc. The acquisition closed May 15, 2017 per Flamingo's own news post; Paul (then UPS President) became President of the combined entity, and former Flamingo President Jeffrey K. Dull transitioned to an advisory role. The brand was kept due to market recognition. We surface this honestly rather than implying Flamingo is a single-entity startup — the Flamingo name customers know is the same shop, with continuous license tenure under Paul, but the corporate entity is United Plumbing Solutions.

Credentials & License

22 years on the same DBPR license — Rinnai-trained, BBB A+ rated.

Florida-licensed under CFC1426338 (qualifying agent Paul Shaughnessy, Status Current/Active per the Florida DBPR through 08/31/2026, originally issued September 15, 2004 — a 22-year continuous tenure under the same qualifier). Plus Florida State Fire Protection License FPC17-000046, Advanced Rinnai Training on the tankless side, brand-name backflow specialty on the front of the legal name, and BBB A+ rated on the West Palm Beach BBB profile (rated, not accredited — surfaced honestly per the Dee Maria precedent).

Credential 01

Florida CFC1426338 — issued 2004

Certified Plumbing Contractor — Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services, qualifying agent Paul Shaughnessy. Status Current/Active per the Florida DBPR licensing portal, license originally issued September 15, 2004 and valid through August 31, 2026 — a 22-year continuous license tenure under the same qualifier. The legal entity behind the brand is United Plumbing Solutions, Inc. (which acquired Flamingo on May 15, 2017 per the company's own news post and the prior PRWeb release); the brand kept the Flamingo name due to its market recognition. Paul Shaughnessy was United Plumbing Solutions' President and became President of the combined entity at acquisition. Surfacing the qualifier-and-acquisition history honestly is the editorial choice — distinct from F1 (where the qualifying agent is a separate party from the corporate principals) and from Copperhead and Dee Maria (where the owner is the qualifier).

Credential 02

Rinnai-installed tankless specialty

Flamingo's tankless water heater service page publishes Rinnai installation, maintenance, and repair as a published service: 'we can install all of the top brands including: Rinnai, Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, EcoSmart, Bosch — we are experts in Rinnai maintenance and repair' and 'Advanced Rinnai Training' completed by employees. None of Palm Build's other five plumbing partners surface tankless water heaters — and Rinnai-trained tankless installation specifically — as a published lead service. For homeowners replacing a tank water heater with a tankless system, Flamingo is the editorial fit on the directory.

Credential 03

Backflow specialty — testing, certification, install, replacement

'Backflow' sits in the legal brand name (Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services) and the dedicated service page covers all four scopes: annual testing and recertification, repair, installation (domestic, fire-line, irrigation), and full replacement. Florida law requires annual backflow certification, and the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department recognizes only state- or county-licensed plumbing contractors for backflow work — a credential Flamingo holds under CFC1426338. The 'Flamingo Annual Backflow Care' program publishes automatic scheduling and compliance handling. The brand-name backflow specialty is the second editorial lead on this profile — Dee Maria leads with gas piping; Flamingo leads with backflow.

Credential 04

BBB A+ Rated (not accredited) + Florida Fire Protection FPC17-000046

BBB rates Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services A+ on the West Palm Beach profile (0633-26002748) but the company is not currently BBB Accredited — the same editorial-honesty pattern Palm Build surfaced on Dee Maria. The page asserts 'BBB A+ rating' without claiming the accreditation either way. Beyond the plumbing CFC, Flamingo also holds Florida State Fire Protection License FPC17-000046 — a credential most residential plumbers do not carry, supporting fire-line backflow assemblies and commercial fire-protection-system plumbing scope.

Owners & Brand History

Paul Shaughnessy & Joshua Hillock.

President / Qualifying Agent — Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services

Paul Shaughnessy is the qualifying agent on Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC1426338, originally issued September 15, 2004 and Current/Active through August 31, 2026 per the Florida DBPR record. The DBPR ties the license directly to the DBA 'Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services.' The company's about-us page also publishes Joshua Hillock alongside Paul as part of the leadership working with the customer-focused plumbing team across 30+ years of experience. The legal entity behind the consumer-facing Flamingo brand is United Plumbing Solutions, Inc., which acquired Flamingo on May 15, 2017 per Flamingo's own published news post — Paul (then President of United Plumbing Solutions) became President of the combined entity at acquisition, and former Flamingo President Jeffrey K. Dull transitioned to an advisory role. The brand kept the Flamingo name because of its market recognition, and the company explicitly published at the time: 'Even though our name has changed, we will continue to service all of Palm Beach, Martin, Broward & St. Lucie counties.' Surfacing this ownership-and-acquisition history honestly is the editorial-honesty choice — the brand customers know is Flamingo; the legal entity is United Plumbing Solutions; the qualifying agent on the state license is Paul Shaughnessy. Distinct from F1 (qualifier-for-hire on a same-name corporation) and from Copperhead and Dee Maria (owner-IS-qualifier), and a richer ownership story than any of the other four plumbing partners on the directory.

The brand customers know is Flamingo. The legal entity is United Plumbing Solutions, Inc. The qualifying agent on the state license is Paul Shaughnessy. We surface this ownership-and-acquisition history honestly because — unlike a single-entity startup — Flamingo is a brand-with-a-history, with a 22-year continuous DBPR tenure and a consumer-facing brand that survived the 2017 acquisition because it was worth keeping.

What Flamingo Handles

Plumbing scope, end-to-end — backflow and Rinnai-trained tankless leading.

Backflow testing, certification, install, and replacement (the brand-name specialty), Rinnai-trained tankless water heater install and repair, gas lines, hydro jetting for large buildings, drain cleaning, leak detection, and the full residential renovation scope — here is the menu, drawn directly from flamingoplumbing.com's published service pages.

Backflow testing, certification, install & replacement

The brand-name specialty. Annual testing and recertification, repair, installation (domestic, fire-line, irrigation supply), and full replacement of backflow prevention assemblies. Florida law requires annual certification; Palm Beach County Water Utilities only recognizes state- or county-licensed plumbing contractors for backflow work. Flamingo's 'Flamingo Annual Backflow Care' program publishes automatic scheduling and compliance handling. Promotional pricing as low as $50 per backflow test surfaces on the dedicated service page.

Tankless water heater installation & repair (Rinnai-trained)

Full tankless water heater scope — install, replacement, maintenance, and repair. Rinnai installation is a published specialty per the tankless service page: 'we can install all of the top brands including: Rinnai, Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, EcoSmart, Bosch' and 'we are experts in Rinnai maintenance and repair.' Employees have completed Advanced Rinnai Training. The published 25+ years of combined experience extends serviceable hot water heater life across both tank and tankless installs.

24/7 emergency plumbing dispatch

Available 24/7 across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, and St. Lucie counties through the dedicated emergency line at (561) 407-0508. Active leak, no-water, sewer-backup, and water-heater-failure dispatch with two-office routing — WPB office handles south-county and Broward; Palm City office handles Martin County and the Treasure Coast.

Leak detection — residential & commercial

Pressurized supply-line leak location, including under-slab and behind-wall scenarios. Listed on flamingoplumbing.com as a leading service category alongside backflow and water heaters. 'Promptly identifying and resolving leaks' is the published positioning.

Drain cleaning — residential & commercial

Mechanical augering and drain cleaning for kitchen, bath, laundry-line, and main-line backups. Published as a top-line service on the homepage. Standard residential same-visit completion when the truck carries the common parts.

Hydro jetting for large buildings

High-pressure water jetting for severe drain blockages — published as a service specifically scoped 'For Large Buildings.' The commercial scope is the editorial fit for HOA boards and property managers handling multi-unit buildings with shared drain systems and recurring blockages.

Gas line installation & repair

Gas line installs, repairs, and additions for stoves, fireplaces, water heaters, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens. Published service per flamingoplumbing.com. Distinct editorial overlap with Dee Maria (whose CFC1023820 Master Plumber lead specialty is gas piping in WPB) — Flamingo carries gas as standard scope alongside the backflow brand specialty.

Water heater repair & replacement (tank + tankless)

Tank and tankless water-heater repair, replacement, and routine maintenance. Same-day install when the stocked unit is on the truck. The tankless side is the Rinnai-trained specialty. The 25+ years of combined experience cited on flamingoplumbing.com extends serviceable life across both technologies.

Sink, faucet, shower & toilet repair

Standard residential fixture repair and replacement — sinks, faucets, showers, toilets, garbage disposals. Published as separate top-line categories on the homepage. Same-visit completion for stocked parts.

Residential renovations — kitchens, baths, fixture upgrades

Plumbing scope for kitchen and bath remodels — supply line and drain rough-in, fixture install, and fixture upgrades. 'Attention to detail during home remodeling projects' is the published positioning. Coordinated with general remodel timelines on residential renovations.

Commercial plumbing services

Commercial plumbing for property managers, HOAs, and business owners across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. Hydro jetting for large buildings, fire-line backflow under FPC17-000046, and ongoing backflow recertification programs are the published commercial leads.

Garbage disposal repair & replacement

Garbage disposal repair, replacement, and new install. Published as a separate residential service category alongside the standard kitchen-and-bath fixture scope.

Brand-Name Specialty

Backflow testing & certification

Backflow is in the legal brand name, and the dedicated service page covers all four scopes — annual testing and recertification, repair, installation (domestic, fire-line, irrigation), and full replacement. Florida law requires annual backflow certification; PBC Water Utilities only recognizes state- or county-licensed plumbing contractors for backflow work — a credential Flamingo holds under CFC1426338. The 'Flamingo Annual Backflow Care' program publishes automatic scheduling.

Rinnai-Trained Specialty

Tankless water heater conversion

Flamingo's tankless service page publishes Rinnai installation, maintenance, and repair as a top-line specialty: 'we can install all of the top brands including: Rinnai, Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, EcoSmart, Bosch — we are experts in Rinnai maintenance and repair.' Employees have completed Advanced Rinnai Training. None of Palm Build's other five plumbing partners surface tankless and Rinnai-trained installation as a published lead service.

Service Area

Palm Beach County core, Treasure Coast reach.

Flamingo anchors out of West Palm Beach (2781 Vista Pkwy Suite K10, the WPB office at (561) 264-2138) and Palm City (4291 SW High Meadows Ave, the Treasure Coast office at (772) 266-0400). Coverage extends north into Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce on the Treasure Coast — an extension no other vendor on Palm Build's directory has from a primary office. The PBC overlap with Copperhead, Dee Maria, and Bergeron is intentional: four distinct editorial profiles in the same dispatch zone, with Flamingo leading on backflow brand specialty, Rinnai-trained tankless install, and the only Martin County dispatch infrastructure on the directory.

Reputation Snapshot

813+ Google reviews at 4.9 stars — the largest absolute sample on the directory.

Flamingo's reputation profile leads with raw Google volume. The 813+ reviews at 4.9 stars claim is sourced from Flamingo's own Facebook promotional post — 'WE'RE FLOCKING PROUD: 813+ Google reviews. 4.9 stars.' — and is the largest absolute Google sample of any plumbing partner on Palm Build's directory, accumulated across the longer Flamingo brand tenure that predates the May 2017 acquisition. The BBB rates Flamingo A+ on the WPB profile but the company is NOT currently BBB Accredited — surfaced honestly per the Dee Maria precedent (rated, not accredited). Yelp shows 16 reviews at 2.6 stars, the same high-volume-Google-vs-low-Yelp asymmetry Palm Build surfaced on Copperhead — driven by Yelp's review-filter algorithm being hostile to active customer solicitation.

BBB A+ rated, but explicitly NOT BBB Accredited — the same editorial-honesty pattern Palm Build surfaced on Dee Maria. Of Palm Build's six plumbing partners, Borkat (accredited 2024) and F1 (accredited 2022) are the two with active BBB accreditation; Bergeron, Copperhead, Dee Maria, and Flamingo carry rating-only postures. Flamingo's A+ rating without accreditation is surfaced honestly rather than blurred into a single 'BBB' line.

— Palm Build editorial signal

Yelp shows 16 reviews at 2.6★ on the West Palm Beach profile while Google shows 813 reviews at 4.9★ — the asymmetry is even sharper than on prior vendors and reflects Yelp's review-filter algorithm being hostile to high-volume trade contractors with active customer solicitation. Palm Build surfaces both honestly per the Copperhead precedent: 813 Google reviews at 4.9 stars is the larger and more current sample.

— Palm Build editorial signal

Three named technicians — Mitch, Alex, Jacob — show up on the Flamingo homepage as the customer-facing service team. The owner-and-staff publication on the site is the kind of named-craftsman trust signal Palm Build values: real people, public on the company's own page, not a stock-photo lineup.

Two Yelp profiles exist — West Palm Beach and Palm City — confirming the two-office footprint. The Palm City Yelp profile anchors Martin County dispatch in a way no other Palm Build vendor does.

FAQ

What homeowners and HOA boards ask before calling Flamingo.

Pulled from real WPB, Palm Beach County, and Treasure Coast search behavior — answered with what Palm Build verified during the vetting, including the Rinnai, backflow, brand-history, and acquisition questions a property manager actually asks.

Is Flamingo Plumbing a Rinnai-authorized installer?

Flamingo's tankless water heater service page publishes Rinnai installation, maintenance, and repair as a top-line specialty: 'we can install all of the top brands including: Rinnai, Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, EcoSmart, Bosch — we are experts in Rinnai maintenance and repair.' Employees have completed Advanced Rinnai Training. Among Palm Build's six plumbing partners, Flamingo is the only shop publishing Rinnai-trained tankless installation as a lead specialty. For a formal Rinnai authorization claim, ask the WPB office at (561) 264-2138 directly — Palm Build does not assert formal manufacturer-authorized-installer status beyond the published Advanced Rinnai Training language.

Does Flamingo Plumbing handle backflow testing and certification?

Yes — backflow is in the legal brand name (Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services) and is published as a top-line specialty. The dedicated backflow service page covers four scopes: annual testing and recertification, repair, installation (domestic, fire-line, irrigation), and full replacement. Florida law requires annual backflow certification; the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department recognizes only state- or county-licensed plumbing contractors for backflow work — a credential Flamingo holds under Florida CFC1426338. The 'Flamingo Annual Backflow Care' program publishes automatic scheduling. Flamingo also holds Florida State Fire Protection License FPC17-000046 for fire-line backflow scope.

What does Flamingo's Palm City office cover?

The Palm City office at (772) 266-0400, 4291 SW High Meadows Ave, anchors Martin County and Treasure Coast dispatch — Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and the surrounding St. Lucie County zone reaching Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce. Among Palm Build's six plumbing partners, Flamingo is the only shop with a primary office in Martin County. The West Palm Beach office at (561) 264-2138 anchors Palm Beach County; the 24/7 emergency line at (561) 407-0508 covers all five published counties (Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, Dade, St. Lucie).

How is Flamingo Plumbing related to United Plumbing Solutions?

United Plumbing Solutions, Inc. is the legal corporation that owns the consumer-facing Flamingo brand. Per Flamingo's own news post, United Plumbing Solutions acquired Flamingo Plumbing & Backflow Services on May 15, 2017 and kept the Flamingo name because of its market recognition. Paul Shaughnessy (then President of United Plumbing Solutions) became President of the combined entity; former Flamingo President Jeffrey K. Dull transitioned to an advisory role. The Florida CFC1426338 license has been held continuously under Paul Shaughnessy since 2004 (22-year tenure per the DBPR record). The BBB West Palm Beach profile lists both names. The brand customers know is Flamingo; the legal entity is United Plumbing Solutions; the qualifying agent on the state license is Paul Shaughnessy.

Is Flamingo Plumbing licensed and insured in Florida?

Yes — Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC1426338 under qualifying agent Paul Shaughnessy, originally issued September 15, 2004 and Current/Active through August 31, 2026 per the Florida DBPR. The company also holds Florida State Fire Protection License FPC17-000046. The BBB West Palm Beach profile rates Flamingo A+ (note: rated, not currently BBB Accredited — Palm Build surfaces this honestly per the Dee Maria precedent). Insurance coverage and bonded status are not publicly published on flamingoplumbing.com — Palm Build recommends asking the WPB office at (561) 264-2138 for a current Certificate of Insurance before any commercial-scope job.

Does Flamingo Plumbing offer 24/7 emergency service?

Yes — Flamingo publishes a dedicated 24/7 emergency line at (561) 407-0508, prominently in the site header marked 'Available 24/7.' Coverage extends to Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, Dade, and St. Lucie counties. The two office numbers route standard service: (561) 264-2138 for the West Palm Beach office and (772) 266-0400 for Palm City. For an active leak, sewer backup, no-water condition, or water-heater failure outside standard hours, the (561) 407-0508 line is the right number to call regardless of which county you're in.

Why is Flamingo's Yelp rating lower than the Google rating?

Two reasons. First, Yelp's review-filter algorithm is hostile to high-volume trade contractors with active customer solicitation — most legitimate reviews end up filtered as 'not currently recommended,' which depresses the visible rating. Second, Flamingo's customer base actively goes to Google: 813+ reviews at 4.9 stars on Google versus 16 reviews at 2.6 stars on Yelp. Palm Build cites both honestly per the Copperhead and Dee Maria precedents — 813 Google reviews at 4.9 stars is the larger and more current sample. The Facebook post 'WE'RE FLOCKING PROUD: 813+ Google reviews. 4.9 stars' from Flamingo's own page confirms the count.

Has Palm Build Restoration worked with Flamingo Plumbing?

Yes — Flamingo is the sixth plumber in our Trusted Vendors program and the only Rinnai-installed-tankless and brand-name-backflow-specialty plumber on the list. The two-office West Palm Beach and Palm City posture extends Palm Build's Treasure Coast reach: when a water-restoration job in Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, or Palm City needs a permitted plumbing repair to fix the source of the loss — and especially anything backflow-related or tankless-specific — Flamingo is the plumber we recommend the homeowner call. Their PBC overlap with Copperhead and Dee Maria is intentional — three distinct editorial profiles in the same dispatch zone.

Plumbing emergency in WPB, Palm Beach County, or the Treasure Coast?

Call Flamingo's office directly. They publish a dedicated 24/7 emergency line at (561) 407-0508 covering all five counties. Palm Build does not middle the call. We benefit nothing from your decision either way.
