Our Story

A Local Plumber’s Path to Honest Service

Modern Plumbing & Heating began with a simple goal: bring honest, fairly priced plumbing to Kalispell and the greater Flathead Valley. Founded by both Paige and Raun Grover—a state-licensed Master Plumber (license #PLU-PM-LIC-10784) with over 20 years’ experience in both new construction and residential service—the business was built on firsthand knowledge of what homeowners truly need. After years working for others, Raun and Paige saw neighbors frustrated by overcharging and unreliable service, and set out to offer a better way: time-and-materials pricing, reliable appointments, and real human connection. Today, their work is trusted by hundreds of families, recognized by local awards, and featured nationally for its dedication to doing things right the first time.

Raun Grover

Owner & Master Plumber

Raun Grover, Owner and Master Plumber of Modern Plumbing & Heating, proudly serves the Flathead Valley and surrounding communities, including Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, West Glacier, Bigfork, Lakeside, and Somers.


With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Raun brings extensive expertise in plumbing and hydronic heating across residential and commercial service, remodels, and new construction.


What sets his training apart is its depth and range. His early years were focused on new construction, building systems from the ground up. He later transitioned into service work, diagnosing and repairing complex plumbing systems in real-world conditions. This combination has made him a highly skilled, well-rounded plumber with both installation precision and diagnostic expertise.


Paige Birks

President

Paige Birks, President of Modern Plumbing & Heating, born and raised in the Flathead Valley, brings a background in design and project management for custom home builders in Seattle — where precision, coordination, and exceptional customer service were essential. In 2026, she was recognized as one of the region's Influential Women.


She leads company operations with a strong focus on communication, organization, and client experience, ensuring that every customer interaction reflects professionalism and respect.


Under her leadership, customer service is not an afterthought — it's a standard. That commitment has earned Modern Plumbing & Heating nine Best of Flathead awards and the 2018 BBB Torch Award for Ethics. The company is committed to being thorough, responsive, and easy to work with, delivering some of the most trusted plumbing services in the Flathead Valley.


Paige is also passionate about introducing the skilled trades to younger generations, helping the next wave of tradespeople see the opportunity in a hands-on career.


The goal is simple: provide such a positive experience that one service call turns into a lifelong customer relationship.
