After leaving the University of Arizona, Paul went back to his hometown-- Whittier, California. There, he started working various framing jobs with his long-time friend, Geoff Goodson. Together, they hopped from crew to crew, learning the trade and encountering the challenges that come with it.  It was in his efforts to overcome these obstacles that Paul came up with the solution years later -- the Plumb-It Extendable Level.

​

He engineered his idea for the perfect level and began manufacturing them in 1984. Today, Plumb-It is yet a small factory run by Paul's surviving family members since his passing on September 26, 2023, 

​

Our goal is to increase production, while maintaining the same great hand-crafted quality for which Plumb-It Extendable Levels are well-known.
