Jacksonville-based contractor strengthens its footprint with expanded services, a growing workforce and continued community involvement.

Key Highlights

  • Bannister Plumbing & Air is expanding into electrical and pest control services as part of its 2026 growth strategy

  • The East Texas contractor has grown to more than 100 employees while serving homeowners from Jacksonville and Tyler locations

  • Company leadership says local ownership, licensed technicians and long-term customer relationships continue to drive growth across the region

JACKSONVILLE, TX — Bannister Plumbing & Air, a locally owned East Texas home services contractor, is expanding its footprint and strengthening its position as a full-service provider for homeowners across the region.

With nearly two decades in business and a growing team of more than 100 employees, the company continues to expand its plumbing and HVAC operations while preparing to launch additional home service offerings in 2026.

Serving homeowners from locations in Jacksonville and Tyler, Bannister Plumbing & Air has built its reputation on responsive service, technical expertise and long-term customer relationships throughout East Texas.

“At the end of the day, we’re here to take care of our customers and their homes,” said Brandon Bannister, Founder of Bannister Plumbing & Air. “That means showing up when we’re needed, doing the job right, and standing behind our work every time.”

Expanded Service Offerings Support Long-Term Growth

Bannister Plumbing & Air currently provides a wide range of residential plumbing and HVAC services, including:

  • Plumbing repair
  • Leak detection and slab leak repair
  • Drain cleaning
  • Sewer services
  • Water heater repair and replacement
  • HVAC repair and maintenance
  • Full HVAC system replacement

As part of its next phase of growth, the company plans to expand into electrical and pest control services beginning in June 2026.

The expansion is designed to give East Texas homeowners access to a broader range of home maintenance and repair services through a single trusted provider.

“We’ve built strong relationships with homeowners over the years, and this expansion allows us to serve them in even more ways,” Bannister added. “It’s about convenience, trust, and continuing to deliver the level of service people expect from Bannister.”

Local Ownership Continues To Differentiate the Company

Bannister Plumbing & Air says its locally owned and operated structure remains a key differentiator in an increasingly competitive home services market that includes national franchise brands and private equity-backed providers.

The company’s familiarity with East Texas homes, climate conditions and customer expectations continues to resonate with homeowners looking for local expertise and accountability.

That local-first approach has helped the company earn multiple community-driven recognitions, including:

  • Best of Readers’ Choice – Best Plumber in Jacksonville (2025)
  • Locals Love Us – Best Plumber in Tyler (2024, 2025–2026)

Licensed Technicians and Community Engagement Remain Core Priorities

Bannister Plumbing & Air employs licensed Master Plumbers and certified HVAC technicians to help ensure projects meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. The company also backs its work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Beyond its service operations, the company remains active in the East Texas community as a KVNE Community Impact Partner and member of the Jacksonville and Carthage Chambers of Commerce.

As the company approaches its 20th anniversary, leadership says its focus remains on delivering dependable workmanship, maintaining accountability and building lasting customer relationships throughout the region.
