Our History

When Mike’s grandfather, Michael Corvelli, opened the doors of Corvelli Plumbing & Heating more than 9 decades ago, he chose to concentrate on the “service, repair and remodeling” business in Essex and Morris Counties – specifically Livingston, Short Hills, Millburn, Caldwell, Essex Fells, East Hanover and the Oranges. This niche required some special adaptations in order to remain successful.

1. First was the realization that he was dealing with more than leaky pipes and faulty heating. He encountered caring homeowners who take pride in their homes and want their plumber and heating specialist to do the same.
2. Second, he realized that his clients had very busy lives. They needed to know their service man was coming at a convenient time rather than tying them up all morning or afternoon waiting for a service man.
3. Third, he wanted to ensure that every customer dealt with the expert – not a trainee and not a new technician

His goal was to satisfy each individual client’s idea of service. And he succeeded!

As the Corvelli Plumbing and Heating reputation spread, Peter Corvelli continued in his father’s footsteps, gradually attracting more customers — many by word of mouth. He would arrive in his customer’s doorstep in a crisp white shirt and don a bibbed work apron. His first request would be for paper towels and cleaning products. His goal was to complete his repairs or installations as efficiently as possible and to leave his job space cleaner then when he arrived. And he succeeded!!
