When it comes to plumbing, roofing and cooling in Mackay, few local businesses hit the mark like Geiger Solutions. From rooftops in the city to remote jobs in Clermont and Moranbah, this crew has built its reputation on quality, reliability and good old-fashioned grit.
“Geiger Solutions is a company I originally founded in 2014 after my grandfather retired” says CEO Brad Geiger.
“I moved overseas for before COVID struck and ended up in a 2-year lockdown in Europe, but when I returned to Australia, I saw a real demand and decided to re-open.”
What began as a response to Mackay’s need for reliable roofing quickly took off.
“The vision was to meet Mackay’s demand for roofing initially, and we were very busy, very quickly.”
Everything Under One Roof
Geiger Solutions is built differently. With fully licensed builders, plumbers, roofers, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics all in-house, they offer everything under one roof, eliminating outsourcing dramas and handover headaches.
“We can offer every service to our community and surrounds.
“We are licensed builders, air-con and refrigeration mechanics, plumbers and roofers. Every tradesman specializes in their own division.”
That means whether it’s a leaking tap, a busted air-con, or a complete re-roof in cyclone country, Geiger Solutions gets it done.
“Our quality of work—we have no call backs to our jobs, and our roofs don’t leak. We only have qualified people on site, and the culture in our business is customer service.”
And when it comes to that culture? It’s serious.
“Everyone that works here is invested in the business emotionally, and financially, we all work with the same urgency and pride.”
Real People, Regional Focus
They don’t just work in the regions—they live and breathe them. Geiger Solutions services Mackay, Emerald, Clermont, Moranbah, and the Bowen Basin, bringing big-city capability with small-town honesty.
“Honesty and integrity are essential to us, and regional customers demand a high level of that.
“Most of our team grew up in regional areas and understand what it takes to be a member of those communities.
“We sponsor local sports teams; we purchase our food, building materials and fuel in those local communities to support local. Every town we go to, we engage in all activities and purchase real estate to ensure we always remain a part of the community.”
And when a truck crash recently happened in Clermont, it wasn’t about business—it was about being there.
“Recently, there was a cattle truck rollover crash in Clermont near one of our sites, and the whole team downed tools and got involved in helping free cattle from the wreckage with what tools we had available for the entire day even after emergency responders finally arrived.”
Services That Cover It All
While roofing remains core, the company’s service offering continues to grow:
• Roof Maintenance & Replacement
• Guttering Installation & Repairs
• Hot Water System Installation & Service
• Residential & Commercial Plumbing
• Emergency Plumbing Callouts
• Air Conditioning Installation & Repairs
• Refrigeration Services
• Cool Room Installations & Maintenance
From complex projects to everyday jobs, the workload is as diverse as the region they serve.
“We recently replaced a roof in Eungella that was extremely articulated, and it was a real challenge for all of us, when we finished, we quite literally celebrated the completion. Celebrating these small events belongs to our team culture.”
“Our most common jobs are roof leaks, re-roofs, plumbing emergencies (leaking taps, pipework in yards), cleaning or air-con units and refrigeration servicing/repairs.”
And there’s no cutting corners across that variety.
“All of our supervising tradesmen have at least 30 years of experience in commercial, residential or industrial work.
“We have the expertise behind us to not even think about it—it has become second nature to us.”
The Team That Makes It Tick
At the heart of Geiger Solutions is a crew that feels more like family.
“Here we have myself as CEO, my brother Chris Geiger as Chief of Operation (the man on the ground), Shannon Woods in the office who is our admin manager – running day-to-day business, Stephen Wales is our coordinator for everything Plumbing, Russell Cunington as our Chief Estimator who makes sure the wheel keeps turning, and Jordan Cunington our head of Air-conditioning and refrigeration.”
Brad says employing a strong administration team has been a game-changer.
“Following the return of my brother Chris to the family business to lead the troops, hiring a competent administrator was the next game changer for my business, it gave us the ability to take the expansion to the next level.
“It felt like it escalated our capabilities 10-fold overnight.”
And when Brad steps away from the tools, it’s his family that keeps him grounded.
“I’m thankful for my beautiful wife, my son and my daughter.
She’s been my number one support through every crazy idea and ambition for more than 20 years. We are a very tight knit family. I get nothing but every support.”
Eyes On Expansion
Growth is on the horizon – and Geiger Solutions is ready for it.
“We are expanding into refrigeration and commercial building, roofing and demolition. We see the sky as the limit, and we are not waiting for anybody.”
It’s not just ambition – it’s passion.
“Working for our typically becomes a way of life for our crews. We celebrate everything together outside of work, fishing trips, golf days etc. it is a real family environment.”
“We all love what we do, and as the saying goes: ‘Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life.’”
The Geiger Guarantee
At the end of the day, it’s not about slogans or sales pitches – it’s about showing up and doing the job right.
“Always be smiling, always talk straight and always guarantee your work.”
That’s the Geiger way. From the rooftops to the pipework, the cold rooms to the callouts, this is a business built on reputation, reliability, and real-deal results.
And they’re just getting started.
