DORI LARSON I started A1 Choice Plumbing & Drain Inc. along with my Husband with the goal of giving our Customers the best service for a competitive price with Customer Service and trust being the forefront of the business. It has been a great experience being a Woman working in Construction as no two days are alike and there is always a challenge to complete and a goal to set. I first started in the home office taking care of the day to day operations and accounting then growing to have an office on 2470 West Lake Rd. West Kelowna with office staff as part of the team and of course our great team of Plumbers. We always keep in mind that trust between us and our Customers is the most important job we have as they give us their trust in letting us into their homes. We have gotten many thank you notes, letters and referrals and are grateful for each one and always try our best to do our best.
