Living in Sumner County, Tennessee, where the spirit of community runs as deep as the roots of our historic Century Farms like the Bradley Farm and Anna Brown Farm, it's always refreshing to spotlight a local business that's not just getting the job done, but doing it with heart and integrity. That's what drew me to Tier One Plumbing Solutions, a family-owned operation that's quickly making waves since its founding in August 2023.

As a journalist for the Sumner County Pulse, I had the pleasure of chatting with co-owner Will Ferrell, and let me tell you, his story and approach are a breath of fresh air in an industry that sometimes leaves folks feeling drained. It's the kind of local gem that deserves recognition for truly serving our community.

A Family Legacy Built on Generations of Craftsmanship

Tier One is helmed by brothers Mike and Will Ferrell, who inherited a legacy of craftsmanship from their father, Todd. Todd ran Ferrell’s Plumbing Service for decades before retiring on July 1, 2025 - just a month ago, as of this writing on August 2, 2025.

Will, with 12 solid years of plumbing experience under his belt, grew up learning the ropes alongside his dad, tackling everything from simple fixes to complex installations. When Todd stepped back, Mike and Will naturally took over most of his clients, building on that foundation to launch Tier One. "It's about carrying forward what Dad taught us," Will shared during our interview, his voice carrying that genuine warmth you don't often hear in business talks. This family-driven model is all about passion and ties to the area, something that resonates deeply here in Sumner County.

Unwavering Commitment to Excellence and Community

What really sets Tier One apart is Will's unwavering commitment to excellence and community, shared by both brothers. He's deeply passionate about his family and the people of Sumner County - it's evident in how he approaches every job. "We make sure each one is completed properly, with the kind of care that builds trust," he explained, perhaps a bit emphatically, as if underscoring a point he's made a hundred times.

Will worries about the reputation of plumbers in general, noting how some overcharge or deliver subpar work, leaving customers in a bind. That's why Tier One opts for flat-rate pricing, standing firmly behind their services with guarantees that ensure you're not left high and dry.

It's a straightforward, affordable approach that's perfect for our readers: think local business owners juggling budgets, entrepreneurs starting up, non-profit executive directors, church pastors keeping facilities running, restaurants avoiding downtime, and service industries needing reliable partners. This emphasis on quality and fairness is what keeps them innovating and serving without getting stuck in old habits.

Building Trust Through Transparent Pricing

Diving a bit deeper, their flat-rate model isn't just a gimmick; it's a promise of no surprises, which is crucial for folks in our community who value predictability.

Team Dynamics: Professionalism with a Personal Touch

I got a firsthand look at this ethos when I observed Will interacting with two of his employees. The atmosphere was pleasant and professional, with a palpable sense of caring. They were like a team that's more than just coworkers, but folks who genuinely support each other. While a lot of their work focuses on new construction projects, Will mentioned that service jobs are picking up steam each month as their reputation spreads through word-of-mouth in Sumner County. Whether it's emergency repairs, routine maintenance, or full installations, they're equipped to handle it all.
