The Lumberjack Team

The people showing up at your door.

A close-knit crew with one goal: help customers, fix problems, and leave the job better than they found it.

Nate
Nate Founder & Owner

Nate founded Lumberjack Plumbing in August 2015 after 13 years of on-the-job plumbing experience. Born in Ontario, Canada and raised in Gainesville, he built the company around residential service that is clear, clean, and careful. Nate still lives in Gainesville with his wife and children, and the Lumberjack name reflects both his Canadian family history and his lifelong interest in climbing and removing trees.

Matt
Matt Service Plumber

Matt is a service plumber with Lumberjack Plumbing. He helps homeowners with residential service needs, repair work, and the finish details that make a plumbing project feel complete. Like the rest of the crew, he works with the same respectful, practical approach: understand the customer's goal, communicate clearly, and leave the home in good shape.

Joe
Joe Finish & Service Plumber

Joe is from Alachua and has been in plumbing since 2002. He joined Lumberjack Plumbing in 2023 and handles final-stage trim and finish plumbing for new construction and remodeling projects, residential service work, and gas installations or hookups. Joe thinks of finish plumbing as the cherry on top: the visible fixtures and details that complete a project after so much of the system has been hidden inside walls or under the slab. He is a perfectionist about finish quality and appreciates the team's family atmosphere, mutual respect, and shared focus on helping customers.

Jesse
Jesse Repipes & Remodels

Jesse was born and raised in Gainesville and has worked with Lumberjack Plumbing for more than five years. He primarily handles whole-home repipes, replacing water piping throughout the house, and also works on larger plumbing projects like rewastes and remodels. He enjoys building things, working with his hands, and seeing the visible before-and-after difference when a problem is fixed or a new installation comes together.
