HILLSDALE, NJ--Jim Hodges, the owner of JD HODGES Plumbing & Mechanical, participated in a logo and design company’s “naming contest” to rename and rebrand his business. For over 24 years, Jim worked with his father in the family business but eventually chose to go at it on his own. During the contest, after hearing Jim’s story about actually working with his father from the time he was five years old, through middle and high school, weekends and summers, colleagues told Jim he was like a "Gladiator", in the arena for the first time by himself. At first, Jim thought it was kind of cool but then he realized the new logo and brand was actually spot on!
The name "JD HODGES Plumbing & Mechanical" involved not just plumbing and heating, drain cleaning, and air conditioning, but "Mechanical" was for the specialty projects Jim did working in commercial and industrial environments.
The more Jim understood how much more his business encompassed, he became more excited to change the business’ name to Gladiator Services! Jim is delighted with the rebranding of his business’ name as he is receiving a great response from family, friends and patrons.
Jim’s background is unique. Aside from spending time as a young child alongside his dad in the family’s business, Jim studied architecture at Roger Williams University. Jim’s academic work and his strong appreciation for architecture has proven to be invaluable when it comes to aesthetics, planning, renovation and rerouting.
Jim’s family has been in the small community of Westwood, New Jersey for over 100 years. His great grandfather and other family members were electricians and masons. Jim’s father’s plumbing and heating business is one that is highly respected in the tight knit community. Jim and his brother are of course licensed plumbers and his brother still working alongside their father. Jim acquired his licensing (Plumbing, HVAC, Backflow, and Fire Sprinkler) by taking trade school course work and long hours training in the field.
Gladiator Services has evolved into so much more than HVAC having to do with the rapid technological advances in the field. Today the business covers indoor air quality systems, water filtration systems, reverse osmosis water systems, duct cleaning, fire safety systems and much more. Still, plumbing, heating and air conditioning stem from this place.
There’s more to Jim’s story as well. Jim just recently retired as a New York firefighter after 20 years of service. Jim started his training in early 2001 and finished on September 10, 2001. Next day, 9/11 and Jim was immediately called to task. Once again, Jim’s family history plays a part in his commitment to community as well as business. His grandfather and his father were both volunteer firefighters in Westwood. Jim became a volunteer firefighter while still in high school. He is still very much involved in not only his own community, but throughout other areas of the country doing training and teaching for new recruits.
Spring is around the corner and Gladiator Services will be extremely busy with assisting new and returning client projects, home maintenance, efficient system management, upgrades and more. Jim’s younger children have taken an interest in the family business assisting in the office and helping on calls. Jim takes great pride in his family and friends who are all part of the business in one way or another. His goal is to provide comfortable and safe experiences in the HVAC and expanded field for everyone in the community.
With Jim’s architectural background, his plan is to expand to kitchen and bathroom design and remodels. Gladiator Services is well connected with affiliate trustworthy businesses such as contractors, painters, masons, etc..
Be sure to check out Gladiator Services' comprehensive website which lists and details all of their offers. You can also call at 201-419-6090 and they are located at 157B Patterson Street, Hillsdale, NJ 07642.
Gladiator Services proudly has received an A+ Rating from the BBB and serves surrounding areas of Bergen County, NJ.

PRESS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Written by NJ News Jersey Reporter
New Jersey, October 4th, 2023 -- Natalia was living in an apartment for 2 years until August 2023. Then, when she realized with several finance changes and the economy blowing up, she needed to move back to her parent's home so she could gain her bearings. Natalia has a Bachelor's in Game Design and is in school for Video Game Programming using Unity and C# under the program GameDevHQ. She recently just opened up her start-up company called Star Force Games and is looking to break into the gaming/tech industry.
When she moved in completely to her parent's home, she noticed she started feeling unwell and with each passing day, the symptoms got worse. The symptoms started out as shakiness, severe insomnia, chest tightness, and brainfog. On the 5th morning, she experienced heart palpitations for the first time in her life and she knew she had to evacuate. She was hauling her things as quickly as she could and was experiencing trouble breathing. Feeling distraught and bewildered, she asked, "what could this be?"
Natalia has healed several illnesses and worked in holistic healthcare settings and has gained a lot of vital connections. She heard of an EMF (electromagnetic fields) Specialist who could help her.
The EMF/Environmental Specialist found hazardous levels of radiation in the home. Natalia and her family are working to get these dangerous issues resolved but they need all the help they can get! The solutions are take much time and are financially-consuming.
Currently and for the past 2 months, Natalia has been living at a friend's place and sleeping on the floor. Her credit cards are nearing their caps and she has been persevering the best that she can to get several issues remedied. Natalia just walked away from a very toxic job environment where she was also not feeling well so she is scrambling for a job right now.
Please visit Natalia's GoFundMe page to learn more. Please share this story with everyone you know to spread awareness of EMF sensitivity and to help a girl have a home!
