Chris Watkins

I’m the proud owner of Watkins Mechanical. I’ve built the company as a family-run business rooted in honest work, strong values, and a commitment to serving our local community.

With years of hands-on experience in the HVAC industry, I’ve worked hard to earn a reputation for being dependable, thorough, and doing things the right way. I believe in treating our customers like neighbors, and I’m just as focused on building a strong team—one that supports each other, takes pride in the work, and still makes time for life outside of it.

When I’m not on the job, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, biking, hiking, or working on perfecting my homemade Neapolitan wood-fired pizza.
