Contractors, Developers Rely on Lagina Plumbing
for Top-Notch, Professional Service Completed On Time

Southeastern Wisconsin general contractors and building owners rely on Lagina Plumbing for innovative, top-notch commercial plumbing service provided on time.

Lagina Plumbing is the resource for plumbing for new construction, renovations or upgrades. Lagina Plumbing provides sophisticated and creative solutions for commercial, health care, retail and industrial plumbing needs.

Lagina Plumbing clients include leading general contractors and architects who are looking for large-staff resources with professional project management and a "get the job done on time" mentality.

Contractors also appreciate our outstanding safety record. We have had no loss-time injuries in the past three years. That means our plumbers are working on your project, not heading off to the clinic.

Technology Adds Efficiencies, Accuracy

We embrace technology to bring efficiencies and new levels of accuracy to projects. Lagina Plumbing uses Autodesk Revit software, which not only allows for incredibly accurate measurements and placements, but which brings great efficiencies by connecting all facets of construction projects. Our use of Total Station technology brings additional benefits to our clients.

Building Green? We Know LEED

And if "green" is your building mode, we can help. Lagina Plumbing is well versed in the plumbing products that meet the water efficiency requirements of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system.

Going the Extra Mile, Adding the Extra Touch

Lagina a Longtime Plumbing Expert

Area contractors and developers have long known Jim Lagina as a plumbing industry expert. And they know him as someone who has an excellent understanding of how plumbing work can most effectively and efficiently be integrated into a construction or renovation project.

The Lagina name has gained increasing respect in recent years as Jim helped expand the Louis Schmitt Co., a plumbing company founded in Milwaukee in 1895. Since Jim bought minority interest in the Louis Schmitt Co. in 2001, the business’s stature has increased significantly.

Lagina Plumbing was officially established in August of 2006 when Jim acquired full ownership of the Louis Schmitt Co. operations. The company name was subsequently changed to Lagina Plumbing.

Competently Handle Complex Projects

Under Jim’s guidance, the company handled complex plumbing work for such notable projects as the massive redevelopment of Bayshore Mall in Glendale. He and his team also handled plumbing for construction of the Milwaukee Public Market, the 875 East office tower in downtown Milwaukee, St. Joseph’s Outpatient Care Center in Wauwatosa, the 75,000-square-foot American Family Insurance Claims Processing office building in Pewaukee, and the $23 million Sarah Chudnow Campus of the Jewish Home and Care Center in Mequon, and the 80,000-square-foot Ace Precision Machining Corp. facility in Oconomowoc. Other projects include the 199-room Crowne Plaza hotel at the Milwaukee County Research Park in Wauwatosa, major additions to Spring Creek Church in Pewaukee, the smart car dealership in Milwaukee, McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurant at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa, and the Claim Jumper restaurant at Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield.

As Milwaukee continues its renaissance with redevelopments and new construction, and as new development occurs elsewhere in southeastern Wisconsin, contractors and developers can count on the expertise of Lagina Plumbing.

Ready to Share Deep Knowledge

That expertise is not just in the planning and installation of plumbing products and systems. Jim and the pros at Lagina Plumbing are always open to sharing their deep industry knowledge. It’s not unusual for someone with a commercial plumbing challenge to contact Jim for a solution.

It’s no wonder the company has grown to include a staff of more than 30 and a fleet of 16 trucks – all poised for continued growth.

It's a Great Day to Be a Plumber!

For Lagina Plumbing Co. owner Jim Lagina, every day is a great day to be a plumber.
