For twenty-one years the Meza family has run a single, stubborn promise across the Texas Hill Country: do the work right the first time, treat every house like it's your grandmother's. This is how they kept it.

Big enough to handle all of your plumbing needs — small enough to treat every customer like family.

Department III · The Story Behind the Name

The story behind Peanut Plumbing.

How a nickname earned on a worksite became a company that's outlasted two decades of Texas weather.

Peanut Plumbing was founded on the principles of top-notch plumbing and innovative system solutions that consistently exceed our clients' expectations. As a family-owned business with over 21 years of experience, we built our reputation with superior workmanship, excellent communication, and accountability.

The company is named as a tribute to owner Raul Eric Meza's grandfather, who was nicknamed "Peanut" on his first job by his older co-workers. He was a true jack-of-all-trades, always helping others and working on all sorts of repairs.

We continue to honor him not just in the name, but also in the values he represented: fairness, honesty, and hard work — the kind you learn on a worksite long before you ever read about it in a manual.

"We continue to honor him not just in the name, but also in the values he represented." Raul Eric Meza · Owner · RMP M-40977
