Upon graduating from Piedmont High School, Randy Smith began working for Mr. Huburt Masters at OK Tire Store of Piedmont and soon married his sweetheart, Brenda. Although he loved working with the Masters Family, he always hoped to have his own business. Thankfully, his new wife was the perfect teammate to help bring these ambitions to life.
While working at OK Tire, they began building their business, taking service calls on nights and weekends while also starting a family. After years of Randy working both jobs, he and Brenda, with much prayer, decided to pursue their Plumbing business full-time and Smith’s Plumbing was officially born.
For 20 years Smith’s Plumbing provided service to the residents of Calhoun, Cherokee and Etowah Counties. During this time, Randy brought his son (along with many other family members) into the fold, training them in his profession. Many long hours and cold, hard-working conditions followed. However, providing an honest, quality service to residents gave great purpose to the Smith's and inspired them to continue pursuing their dreams.
In 1999 Randy and Brenda were presented with an opportunity to expand their business and become sub-contractors for Walmart. Although it was a frightening step, they, with God's guidance, made the decision to accept this new line of work. Shortly after, with the continued growth in business, the Smith's purchased Storage Units, initially bought for warehouse space. Today they actively provide Local/Residential and Commercial Plumbing along with Storage Services now known as Smith's Plumbing and Storage.
After 45 years in the service business, our owners and founders, Randy and Brenda Smith, have transitioned to a new phase of life. You can find them at their East Alabama home enjoying a slower pace; gardening and tending to their chickens while enjoying their 9 grandchildren as they trust their three adult children to manage and grow the family business.
