MEET LARRY BETLEJEWSKI PHCC OHIO PRESIDENT-ELECT A fter 27 years in the industry, Master Plumber Larry Betlejewski surprised himself a few months ago when he opened his own shop, Beetles Plumbing Solutions. “I never really wanted it until recently,” he said. “I think some of my motivation is my 19-year-old son’s passion for plumbing and the recent passing of my younger brother. These put my priorities in a better perspective of what I want to leave to this world when its my time to go.” So Larry went big with a full-service plumbing company serving primarily residential and commercial service and repair servicing most of Northeast Ohio. “We do everything from fixing a dripping  faucet, snaking a drain, or adding a bathroom in a basement or addition. No additional  employees at this time, but we do want to 12 OHIO PHC CONTRACTOR • VOLUME 2023, ISSUE 3

Larry is a lifelong resident of Northeast Ohio and currently PLUMBING AS A CAREER CHOICE resides in North Royalton,  which is where his shop is located. Larry and Kelly have been married for 22 years and have two “I just kind of fell into it. After a year at the University of Dayton, children, plus Snax the dog. I found myself in a dead end job with no real goals. My dad pushed me to get into the trades. He actually was able to get me Fun Fact: Larry is the oldest of seven siblings! an interview with my first company. I was there for more than 20 years and learned a ton from the owner as well as the great team we had. I never thought I would still be doing this, but here I am.” Larry finds the best part of his job is helping people in their time of need. “Most people don’t call a plumber until they have a problem or water running somewhere it’s not supposed to. I take a lot of pride in my workmanship and sense of accomplishment in knowing I made someone’s day a little better. I also really enjoy teaching our newer techs in this industry.” But not every plumbing situation is solved easily, Larry noted. “The most challenging situations I have found myself in are typically a hoarder house where there is little to no room to move or be able to diagnose a problem due to all the ‘stuff’ in the house. THE VALUE OF ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP “PHCC membership has meant a lot to me and the relationships I have developed over the years. I feel the best of the best belong to the PHCC and it has been great knowing all of us contractors go through the same problems with jobs, clients, employees, etc. There is a wealth of knowledge at our monthly meetings and for that brief time we don’t look at each other as competitors but as colleagues in the plumbing field. I feel the PHCC helps raise the industry standards for all contractors, whether they are members or not.” Larry currently is a board member on the Northeast Ohio Master Plumbers Chapter  as well as president-elect for PHCC Ohio. He is also a state-licensed plumbing contractor, Backflow Certified and Competent Person Qualified for excavations. He also attended Associate Builders and Contractors plumbing school for three years. ADVICE TO POTENTIAL TRADESMEN “If you’re willing to put in the time to learn things the right way, this trade will pay off tremendously. Not only does it pay off financially, but also a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. This trade has so many different avenues, from service and repair, new construction, excavation, remodeling, there is usually something you could gravitate towards to be successful.” WHEN NOT ON THE JOB “In my free time I enjoy traveling with my wife, playing golf, watching my daughter play volleyball, and hanging out with our dog, Snax.

ACCO Past Presidents Seven contractors got together because of threats to the mechanics lien law. Mike Callahan from Columbus agreed to chair the organization. With seed money from Cincinnati, Columbus and the now defunct Ohio Valley Sheet Metal Association, the group was able to get all the trades involved in the “battle” and ultimately the group won. A convention was held in Columbus in 1977 where officers were elected and the vision was to get contractors involved from every section of the state. W. Michael Callahan, Columbus 1976-1977 Robert A.
