Picture a donkey-drawn cart in 1906 Bensonhurst—two brothers-in-law hauling tools, fixing pipes and tin roofs for neighbors they knew by name. Brancale and D’Amico Plumbing wasn’t fancy, but it was built on grit, skill, and trust. That spirit lives on.
Four generations later, the Petri family is still rooted in Brooklyn. John Petri modernized the business with one of the area’s first work trucks. His son Peter, a cop by day and plumber by night, kept it going with the same grit that earned him the nickname “plumbing bull.”
Michael and Gerard, the next generation, became known for football tackles and boiler installs. One snowed-in Christmas Eve, they carried two boilers through a blizzard to restore heat for elderly neighbors—“Six men, or two Petris.”
Today, Michael and his son Christopher carry the torch—offering expert service with a personal touch and reimagining what home comfort means. What began with a donkey and a dream is now one of Brooklyn and Manhattan’s most trusted home service teams.
