It’s an honor and a privilege to be chosen #1 in the Bureau County Republican as both the Plumbing Company of Choice and the Heating and Cooling Experts of Choice. This honor would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our excellent staff and technicians in taking care of our customers needs.
Pride in Preparation Every day, our kitchens work to prepare your food just the way you like it. That’s why we’ve implemented a new searing method for beef which makes our burgers hot and juicy. We’ve also begun toasting our buns for burgers and sandwiches 5 seconds longer for a little extra crisp.
Just a reminder that Town & Country Services is available 24/7/365 from our location at 537 W Peru St., Princeton for all your plumbing, heating and cooling and electrical needs. We are here “Doing Whatever It Takes!”
