Let’s keep it flowing in 2025!

COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL & EQUESTRIAN We are honored and humble to have been chosen for several years one of the communities' top choices as being their trusted plumber!

We’re so thrilled to announce the grand opening of our brand new 12,000 sq. ft. plumbing shop with offices and fully stocked warehouse.

Community is important to the Craigs. Chet and Debbie have been part of the community for more than 26 years. They are involved in many local events and organizations such as the Ocala Royal Dames for Cancer research, Silver River Friends of the Springs, Chamber and Economic Partnership (CEP), Friends of Marion County Veterans Park Foundation, United Way of Marion County, and they are proud supporters of Lake Weir and Forest High School athletic programs.

Chet Craig Plumbing was founded in 2005 and has plumbed more than 800 homes in Marion County just this past year, both commercial and residential. Whether it’s re-piping, remodeling, backflow certification, pool-heating systems, pool pumps, drain cleaning, video-line inspections, gas piping, green plumbing, service, or water heaters, both electric and gas as well as tankless, Chet Craig handles it all. They also can help

with self-waters and feeders for equestrian needs as well as wash stalls. The Chet Craig Plumbing experienced crew will take care of everything.

Late-night emergencies don’t phase Chet Craig Plumbing. They understand things happen and some are stinky (literally) and emergencies don’t always happen during the day. During a recent late-night mainline water break, Chet’s was able to avert a crisis at Paddock Park Appartments.

At Chet Craig Plumbing, the company cares about the environment. Creating a cleaner environment is a goal Chet Craig wants its customers to achieve. Through individual choice, Chet’s can help folks contribute on a national scale. The love to talk about integrating solar into a client’s electricity and heating systems whether they’re a homeowner or a business owner. Among Chet’s projects are hotels/motels, homes, apartments, condos, spas, restaurants, office buildings, auto dealerships, food trucks, and sewage/water treatment plants.

Living in horse country gives Chet Craig a unique opportunity to be part of that community by providing equestrian plumbing while still focusing on high-quality service and customer satisfaction.

Chet Craig Plumbing will do everything they can to meet client expectations. It is always on the forefront of the latest technologies to benefit its customers.

Meet The Women Behind Chet Craig Plumbing!

These incredible ladies keep our office running strong— from scheduling to invoicing and everything in between.

We were proud to sponsor and attend the Go Red for Women Luncheon, standing together to support heart health and our community.

Thanks for all you do — we couldn’t do it without you!

We couldn’t be more proud of our two sons, Chet V and Tyler— not just for their hard work but for the heart they bring into everything they do, their willingness to learn, their strength to push through challenges, and their constant drive to improve have been a huge part of our success.

Together with our plumbing team of dedicated employees we've built more than just a plumbing company— we've built a legacy of determination, growth, and making each day better than the last.

Kindness, Empathy, and Community:

A Weide Experience

B

rien Weidemiller is the owner of Weide Automotive Repair, a veteran-owned business that focuses on not only the needs of your vehicle but the needs of the individual(s) dropping it off as well.

After six years in the Marine Corps, Weidemiller got into the automotive business after landing a job at an auto dealership. There he noticed a lack of empathy when working for big businesses. It inspired to create a space where this was not the case.

The mission statement for Weide Automotive is to care and attend to every customer, no matter their background or knowledge. When dealership prices are too high, yet professional quality is needed, Weide Automotive is there to deliver.

What sets Weidemiller’s trade apart from other businesses is not only the empathy in place, but his Christian approach as a businessman. Weidemiller uses his au-

tomotive repair shop as a platform and safe space for Christians to be able to openly speak of Jesus Christ and their community.

They also contribute to more than a half dozen nonprofit organizations that deal with children, veterans and mental health.

Weidemiller’s goal is to change the perception of an automotive repair shop, presenting kindness, compassion and devotion combined with skilled exceptional technicians.

Whether you are seeking a go-to repair shop for standard routine maintenance on your vehicle, or have an urgent service needed, Weide Automotive Repair is the place to go.

“We value our customers and their livelihood, and we want to do the best.”

Our sanctuary provides a safe haven for abused, neglected, and endangered animals, offering them the love, care, and protection they deserve.
