They say we’re all judged by the company we keep. And at Fred Smith Plumbing, that company includes some impressive organizations–people with values and work ethics much like our own.

The list we’ve put together here includes everything from business and real estate associations we’re a part of to architects and consultants we’ve partnered with to media outlets that cover New York’s fast-changing real estate market.

We hope you find this list helpful. If there’s anything you would like to see included in the future, just drop us a line.
