14 Partners in Construction // The Nugget Newspaper // April 24, 2019 Sisters Rental offers Sweeney Plumbing: equipment and expertise decades of service By Jim Cornelius editor in chief Do-it-yourselfers and profes- sionals alike have been turning to Sisters Rental for the past two decades and more to equip them- selves for jobs large and small. The toolbox at Sisters Rental includes heavy construction equipment and an array of hand tools 4 and everything in between. At Sisters Rental, you can rent everything from a backhoe or an aerial lift or a jackhammer to a wallpaper steamer. They9re a STIHL dealer, which means they have a tremendous selection of chainsaws and related outdoor power equipment. The rental yard is also fully stocked with landscaping materi- als from various types of mulch to gravel. Their equipment and materials facilitate landscape projects, not just lawn mainte- nance 4 although they can help out with that, too. It9s one of the few rental yards in Central Oregon that is open on Saturdays, making equipment Big rental easier and more cost-effec- tive for local users. But Sisters Rental9s true value to the Sisters community lies deeper than its fully stocked equipment yard and showroom. <Not only do we rent equip- ment to them, we also advise them on the proper way to do things,= said Sisters Rental owner/opera- tor Pat Thompson. <The equip- ment they need to do (a project) and what the professionals use to do a job. We9re a wealth of infor- mation to get materials and who to recommend to do a job.= The staff at Sisters Rental has a broad range of experience to bring to bear in providing advice on how to approach a project, what tools are most effective and, if a job is outside the scope of a DIY effort, what contractors in Sisters Country are best suited for the work. That makes Sisters Rental an invaluable community resource to help people accomplish their projects quickly, efficiently, safely and cost-effectively. or Small… By Jim Cornelius editor in chief For more than a quarter cen- tury, Sweeney Plumbing has been fixing leaks, repairing broken pipes 4 and plumbing entire homes and commercial buildings 4 all across Central Oregon. Now in its second generation of family ownership and operation, Sweeney Plumbing has persevered through all the ups and downs of the Central Oregon economy. <Having that longevity says a lot about the character of the com- pany,= said Zach Sweeney, who now runs the family business. The Sweeney Plumbing show- room features fixtures from toilets to tubs and sinks; kitchen and bath- room faucets from all of the major manufacturers like Delta, Kohler, Moen and Grohe. Customers are invited to peruse the showroom and handle the merchandise to see what they like. But it9s not the fixtures that make Sweeney Plumbing what it is 4 it9s an ethic of service and respect, hard work and professionalism. That starts with having someone at the shop to pick up the phone and answer questions 4 and Zach says he strives to return every phone call as promptly as possible. <Even if it9s bad news,= he says with a grin. <Even if it9s to say we can9t get there for a month.= Sweeney Plumbing is in high demand. They recently plumbed the new GrandStay Hotel in Sisters. But they don9t neglect the small jobs. <We have a guy who9s completely dedicated to service calls, fixing the little stuff, too,= Zach said. Sweeney Plumbing has always believed in treating everyone from employees to customers like fam- ily. They make a point of respecting the homes and properties where they do their work. <We do a lot of calls where peo- ple just leave the key under the mat and expect us to treat their home like they do,= Zach said. <And we do. We9re very clean.= That9s the way Sweeney Plumbing has worked for going on three decades in their hometown. 30 YEARS AS SISTERS’ FULL-SERVICE HOMETOWN PLUMBER We Rent it All!
