SANTA MARIA, Calif. - s4story -- Zierman Plumbing & Heating has been named a 2026 Nextdoor Fave Awards winner, recognizing the local businesses neighbors know, trust and recommend.

The award marks another milestone for Zierman Plumbing & Heating. Founded in 1950, the company has served Santa Maria and surrounding Central Coast communities for more than 75 years.

The Nextdoor Fave Awards celebrate local businesses that earn the trust of their communities. Winners are selected through votes from verified neighbors, making the recognition especially meaningful for businesses built on personal relationships and word-of-mouth referrals.

"For years, local businesses have grown through genuine word of mouth, and the Fave Awards put a name and a spotlight on that trust," said Nirav Tolia, Nextdoor Co-Founder and CEO. "Every vote in this year's awards comes from a real, verified neighbor, not a star rating or an algorithm. That's what makes winning a Fave Award mean something: your community chose you."
