Maine Plumbers

Hiring a Plumber in Maine

Buildermuse currently lists 10 plumbers in Maine, averaging 4.9 stars across 3,367 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Scarborough, Arundel, and Auburn.

Maine licenses this trade at the state level: the Plumbing credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. State license required through Plumbers Examining Board. Verify any license directly with the issuing authority before signing a contract.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Maine market sets the floor: construction workers here average $33.23 an hour — about $69,108 a year — across 36,538 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
