Meet Petcosky: A Broome County Success Story

Meet Petcosky: A Broome County Success Story

Petcosky Fire Protection and Petcosky & Sons Plumbing and Heating have been serving Broome County for over 60 years. Founded by the Petcosky family and still locally owned, the company has grown from a small plumbing operation into a multi-division business specializing in mechanical contracting, fire protection systems, HVAC, and plumbing services. Their work spans commercial, industrial, and residential projects, and they’ve built a reputation for technical expertise, reliability, and long-term client relationships across the Southern Tier.

The company employs more than 70 people, including licensed plumbers, pipefitters, fire protection technicians, and office staff. Many have been with Petcosky for over a decade, and several have advanced into leadership roles over the years. The company also invests in apprenticeships and continuing education, helping train the next generation of skilled trades professionals in Broome County. Recent projects include installations for hospitals, schools, and manufacturing facilities—work that directly supports the region’s infrastructure and economy.

Petcosky now has a new phase of growth in the works. The company is expanding its operations to improve internal workflows, support its field crews, and create space for new hires. For longtime employees, this means better resources and room to collaborate. For new recruits, it’s a chance to join a company that values experience, promotes from within, and offers a path to a lasting career in the trades.

The Agency is supporting this expansion with a customized incentive package. It’s a practical investment in a business that has earned its place in Broome County by delivering consistent work, hiring locally, and maintaining high standards. Petcosky’s growth is a win for the region, and The Agency is proud to help make it happen.
