Family-owned.
Perth through and through.

Eighteen years, three vans, and six thousand jobs later — we still answer the phone ourselves.

Our story

Started with one van and a promise

Dave Kowalski started Ridgeline in 2008 with a second-hand Hiace and a simple promise: turn up when you say you will, charge what you quoted, and leave the place tidy.

Eighteen years on, that promise hasn't changed — there's just more of us keeping it. Today Ridgeline is a team of eight, including three apprentices we're training the same way Dave was trained: properly, patiently, and with a broom in hand at the end of every job.

We're still family-owned, still based in Osborne Park, and still small enough that when you call, you talk to someone who knows your job by name — not a call centre.

The team

The faces behind the vans

Every Ridgeline tradesperson is licensed, insured, and police-vetted — and yes, they'll take their boots off at the door.

👨‍🔧

Dave Kowalski

Founder · Licensed Plumber

30 years on the tools. Still takes the tricky diagnostic jobs no one else can figure out.

👩‍🔧

Mel Tuilagi

Operations Manager · Gasfitter

Runs the schedule, the quotes, and the compliance paperwork. The reason we're never late.

🧑‍🔧

Ryan Chen

Senior Plumber · Reno Lead

Leads our bathroom renovation crews. Obsessive about waterproofing done right.

What we stand for

The Ridgeline way

🤝

Straight talk

We explain the problem in plain English and give you options — not upsells.

⏰

On time, every time

We text you a live ETA. If we're running late, you'll know before it matters.

🧹

Tidy workmanship

Drop sheets, boot covers, and a vacuum in every van. We leave no trace but the fix.

🎓

Grow our own

We train apprentices properly because the trade's future depends on it.
