Plumbers in Cottonwood

Read the list below with one thing in mind. Not every plumbing listing is a plumber you can call out. Two of the seven are supply houses. They sell pipe, fittings and fixtures over a counter on weekdays, they’re closed Saturday and Sunday, and they won’t come to your house. We keep them on the list because they’re genuinely useful if you’re doing the work yourself or need a part fast. The other five are service companies, and all five list around-the-clock hours, which in practice means a phone line that takes emergency calls, not a van waiting outside.

That difference matters most at the worst moment. If a line bursts on a Sunday, the supply houses are shut, and the service companies are the only numbers worth dialing.

Plumbing is licensed work in Arizona. You can skip the contractor license only when the whole job, labor and materials together, comes to under $1,000, the work is minor, and no building permit is needed. Anything involving a permit needs a license at any price. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors runs a free license search at roc.az.gov. Look the company up by name, confirm the license is active, and confirm the classification covers plumbing.

We checked all seven listings against the Registrar’s records on 20 September 2026. One came back with a license, and it was active that day. Where a listing shows a license status, that is what the register said on that date. We match a company by its business name, by a trading name it also uses, or by its phone number, so the six we could not match are not necessarily unlicensed. A license can sit under a different legal name, it can be filed in another town, and some small jobs need no contractor license at all. The two supply houses sell parts and do no contracting work, so there is no reason to expect a license for them. Five of the seven say on their own website that they are licensed, and where a listing carries that claim with no number, the claim is the company’s own and we have not confirmed it. Check it yourself before money changes hands.

Ask for the ROC number, the call-out fee, and whether the quote is flat rate or hourly before the van is dispatched.
