Our History

Young & Pratt was founded in West Texas in 1922 by partners J.D. Young, a sheet metal worker, and Frank M. Pratt, a plumber and pipefitter. In 1929, we moved to Austin, where we grew our business to include steam boiler installation, piping, plumbing, and sheet metal fabrication to buildings at The University of Texas and around Austin.

In 1967, when Young retired, engineer Joseph C. Zern became co-owner and continued Young & Pratt's tradition of growth and excellence. Joe retired nearly 50 years later, having instilled these values in his son David, now Owner and President.

"There's no secret to our longevity, " David says. "We still live by J.D. Young's and my father's philosophy of standing behind our work. We've been around a long time and plan to stay around a lot longer."

Today, as one of Central Texas' most established mechanical contractors, Young & Pratt takes "established" to a whole new level. Our team of over 85 trained professionals has a combined experience in excess of 825 years, ensuring continuity of manpower and expertise. We provide continuity of manpower and experience, and when a customer comes back to us, he knows that the employees who originally built the project are probably still here.

Our Commitment

At Young & Pratt, we are committed to providing the best possible service to our customers. We believe in standing behind our work and building long-lasting relationships with our clients. We strive to enhance accuracy and predictability in our projects through the use of cutting-edge technology and BIM.
