About HPS Mechanical, Inc.

HPS is a plumbing company serving Southern California, with emphasis on Public Works projects in Kern County, San Luis Obispo County, Northern Los Angeles County, Fresno County, and San Diego County.

History
HPS Mechanical Inc. was started as Harry’s Plumbing Service in 1959 by Harry DenHerder. He had one truck that he used for service calls, and he built up the business with a solid reputation for doing the best work in town work at a reasonable price. HPS continued to grow and focused mainly on service and remodel plumbing until it was purchased in 1976 by Harry's son, Les DenHerder. Since then HPS has continued into new construction, pipeline, engineering and plumbing design services in Southern California. We’re still known for our technical expertise and quality work, just on a larger scale. HPS is a progressive company, now fully computerized, and dedicated not only to meeting the needs you have today, but to anticipating how we can continue to serve you tomorrow.

Quality
HPS offers services for Bakersfield residential plumbing repair and plumbing contracts in Southern California for commercial, municipal, industrial piping and military projects. HPS carries out most of its work as a mechanical contractor specializing in plumbing and piping as well as performing site utilities in support of the mechanical systems. In California, HPS is licensed for general engineering and general building and holds specialty licenses for plumbing, HVAC, pipeline, fire protection, septic, and boiler.

HPS performs all work with its own forces except for insulation. We have a core crew of 140 permanent field employees and can expand to meet any required schedule. Although 60 percent of our work is performed as a subcontractor, HPS does bid specialty projects as a prime contractor. HPS also is capable of design/build projects, for both private and public owners.

Safety
HPS has an excellent in-house safety program for both general liability and workman’s compensation. Losses for both of these items have been less than 15 percent of premiums for the last 10 years. HPS also provides E & O insurance as needed. Because of our safety record our insurance limits are much higher than what’s normally provided by other construction companies, providing additional benefits to owners and general contractors.

Teamwork
In addition to clients, HPS has strong, positive relationships with its vendors. These vendors are crucial to competitive pricing and timely delivery of materials —essential to keep projects under budget and delivered ahead of schedule. Using this interwoven team of experts, HPS is able to provide the expertise and support needed for success on your project. As with the ranks of HPS there is little turnover in our vendor teams because we strive to develop mutually beneficial relationships with potential for long-term growth and success.
