Way back in 1955, a cool (and very handy) guy named Red Brummel sold his house and used the proceeds to buy a hardware store in the Godwin Heights neighborhood of Grand Rapids. He made plumbing service calls while his wife, Louise, ran the hardware store. Word of Red's talent with pipes and fixtures soon spread - and by 1957, he was working with area real estate developers to install new plumbing into area homes and businesses. That work drove him to build the largest inventory of plumbing parts on this side of the state, a collection that gave rise to the famous slogan we debuted in the late 60s: "Godwin's Got It!"

Barry at the Ada location is wonderful! He's always been informative and willing to help any way he can. A weeks ago my coworker walked down to purchase a bag of de-icer and a younger gentleman carried it all the way back to the office for her!
Many thanks to the folks at Godwin -- especially Suzi and Carl -- for an installation that was just completed today in our home. Kohler and the distributor caused some significant glitches with delivery of the correct product, but Godwin kept after it, kept us informed every step of the way and handled all aspects of sales, service and installation with great care and professionalism. First-rate and highly recommended.
Godwin is the best! My input is always considered and questions answered. Every appointment is on time. Terry is helpful. Ted is sooo good at what he does on my new construction projects. Sandy is lovely to work with on scheduling. Steve and Tim are excellent too on my hot water radiator projects. I appreciate everyone!
