There’s a reason Allied Plumbing and Construction Company was voted by readers of Style Magazine as “Richmond’s best home repair service” for 2011.” When you provide quality service at a reasonable price then your business should be rewarded.
Sooner or later, every homeowner is going to need the services of a plumber. Hopefully if you have plumbing needs, it will just be installation of a new water heater or replacing a valve, and you’ll have plenty of time to do it. Unfortunately, that’s not always the way it happens. When you find that water dripping down on your living room furniture, or you don’t have hot water for your shower or washing dishes, you’ll need a competent, efficient and reasonably priced plumber.
Sure, everyone knows the jokes about plumber’s rates and unfortunately plumber’s crack. But plumbing problems are serious issues and there is nothing funny when a plumbing disaster strikes.
Licensed Master Plumber Dominick Shelkey moved to Richmond in 2009 to start his business. As the owner of Allied Plumbing and Construction, Shelkey is also a Licensed Contractor. Shelkey believes that it is important for his company to offer free visits and free estimates and says that he doesn’t “want to charge anyone in Richmond for choosing Allied Plumbing to come to their home to repair their plumbing issues.”
But while still being relatively new to Richmond, Allied Plumbing and Construction offers over 25 years of plumbing and contracting experience. Experience like that gives you a company with the knowledge and skills to take care of your plumbing needs the right way and in a timely manner.
Shelkey says that his no charge estimate policy is his way of thanking the customer for allowing Allied Plumbing and Construction to be of service. He also offers Senior Citizens, Veterans, Active Military, Police Offers and Fire Fighters discounts every time they call.
Shelkey also believes that a plumber should only have to come to your home once to repair your issue He is adamant about his workers taking the time to repair the item right the first time they visit. Shelkey doesn’t think you should have to suffer through multiple repeat visits. He wants the job done right the first time. Allied Plumbing and Construction offers low competitive prices and is willing to answer your call 24 hours a day. Unlike most companies who charge you just to come and see if you have a problem, Allied won’t charge you for just the visit.
Allied Plumbing and Construction likes to offer customers rewards, not penalties for their business. It’s a refreshing change for a company just to want your business. And, should they arrive at your home later in the day, you won’t be charged should the repairs run into the evening hours.
Every new customer with Allied Plumbing and Construction receives 10% off of labor. In addition, every customer gets a free in home inspection of their plumbing system with every service call.
Allied Installs and repairs: water heaters, faucets, toilets, shower valves, leaks under your home, ceiling leaks, garbage disposals, valves and more. Allied is committed to stopping the leak and guarantees to beat any written estimate from another licensed plumbing contractor.

Being a mother is a great job, but let’s face it, mothers are always busy. There’s always a child to feed, a scrape to kiss, a nose (or a behind) to wipe. Then there’s the business of taking care of the house, feeding the family. And in today’s economy, lots of moms have to work outside the home in addition to their already overly busy lives. While there’s nothing more rewarding than the unconditional love your child can give, it’s not always easy to be super mom.
Whether it’s caring for children, working for the PTA, playing taxi driver for various practices and events, or just trying to keep the household together, moms need all the resources and help they can get.
That’s where Mom’s Treehouse comes in. Mom’s Treehouse is there to provide mothers with support, education and resources to manage and maintain healthy active lives of their own. Mom’s Treehouse opened in Short Pump in December 2010 and is coming up on its first birthday as a resource for mothers.
Mom’s Treehouse also offers a full-range of fitness programs for mom and children as well as professional services for families. Fitness classes at Mom’s Treehouse are for moms regardless of their current level of fitness or age of their children. The professionals at Mom’s Treehouse are certified in pre- and post-natal fitness. Mom’s Treehouse can help moms to get fit, lose weight, gain strength and be better prepared for the daily challenges.
Fitness classes are also offered for children from birth to pre-school and even school-age. Working together Mom’s Treehouse can help moms and their children develop healthy, active lifestyles.
There’s a great social benefit to Mom’s Treehouse. Mothers get to meet other Moms and form lasting friendships. After all, who better to understand what a Mom has to deal with than other Moms? But the social benefits aren’t just for the moms, they’re for the kids as well.
Beyond fitness and the social benefits, Mom’s Treehouse offers other services such as doula and massage services, as well as nutrition and lactation consulting. The shop in the front lobby offers moms products and clothing items that are perfect for an active mom’s workout.
Founder and owner Rachel Pustinik, herself a mom of 2 young daughters, says that when her first daughter was just a few months old she founded Stroller Strides in Richmond. She began training moms for local running events and eventually created Mother Runner Training. She soon realized that regardless of the age of their children, all moms need support and encouragement, so she founded Mom’s Treehouse as a home for moms where they can learn how to raise a happy and healthy family while receiving the support they need.
Pustinik says “I realized that no matter what the age of her children, a mom continues to need support, encouragement, and a sense of community. I realized I needed to create a ‘HOME’ for moms,a ‘HOUSE’ where they can learn how to raise a happy and healthy family all while receiving support and acknowledgement for thier dedication, and a ‘TREEHOUSE’ where moms are the center of attention.”
