Best Plumbing Services in Portland, OR

I would use them again. The plumber was efficient, friendly, and seemed to know what he was doing. That said, the price was on the high side of fair and perhaps over the line. For two very straightforward and simple tasks that took less than an hour to perform, I was charged $360.00 (after a $40 discount because it took about forty-five minutes to do the work). For example, to clear a drain is a flat fee of $200, even though this literally took eleven minutes. I know how much the Milwaukee drain snake costs at Home Depot, so this is basically the rate of a physician. Then again, the plumbing companies know that we are at their mercy, and in the end, I wouldn't call this a totally egregious gouging--just a questionable charge for what was done. But like I said, if I needed a plumber, I'd call Crown again and maybe try negotiating; that gets a little tricky because they have their $150 trip fee that basically neutralizes your negotiating position. I've dealt with horrible plumbers and thankfully these people are not horrible. Could they be better? Yes, they could adjust the charge when it takes very little effort and time to perform that task.

Great experience with Forbes Plumbing. Needed water heater repair.  They came the same day I called, the repairman was efficient, and I felt the charge was reasonable. I will call them when it's time for a new water heater.

We had excellent service!  They were able to send someone out the day we called to detect our leak. When we had problems locating it they sent someone out again to help at no additional charge. It's hard to find anyone that backs their work these days but this company definitely went above and beyond to help us solve our issues. I highly recommend them!

We were remodeling our laundry room and noticed a leaky water valves from two different areas, o different days.

On both occasions, they came to our home to fix the valves, with just a few hours notice. The best we were able to find was to be put on a waiting list or make an appointment 5 days out.

When they arrived, they were friendly and efficient fixing all of our plumbing issues. With COVID they wore masks.

I would not only recommend them for others, I have them as the Go To plumbing company.

these guys are absolutely amazing they go above and beyond and are super sharp on plumbing needs, helped us with multiple houses definitely can't say enough good things super reliable and reasonable pricing

Steve is amazing.  He is thorough and informative.  He told me things without asking.  When he left there was nothing more I needed to know.  I do have to apologize though, he had to climb up to a roofline in the sun in mid 80 temperatures.  Not once did he complain, after going up and down the ladder multiple times.  He truly deserves the title of the company AAA.

My review will be simple, because that is how Josh made this project for us.  

Project:  Toilet Hardware Replacement (Visit 1) & Water Heater (Visit 2)

1) Responsive Communication via Text/Call.
2) Available in 24-48 hours.
3) Relatively On-Time / Confirmed Time
4) Consultative - We wanted a larger water heater, and he made that happen.

No frills.  No BS.  Josh is dependable, thorough, and turn-key.  This is coming from a skeptic for sure.  Even took additional care to remove an old sink from our Laundry Room and recycle at no-cost.  

Josh made it feel like it was the 1960s where you can depend on one's word more than the nickle and dime details.  Wouldn't look elsewhere for future business.

Very fast very efficient cleaned up their mess. They gave several ways to repair bee felt very comfortable. I would recommend them anytime

Earl is the best plumber anywhere....I am not kidding either. He knows his stuff and guarantees his work but there is nothing to worry about because he fixes it correctly the first time. I have used Earl a couple times and he is a great all around plumber who is trustworthy and professional.

5 stars as the Clog Buster workers were great in clearing clog in our sewer line system. Price was fair and they were a little early. I highly recommend them for your clog problems.

Had a problem with leaking toilet and damaged flooring. They responded quickly, gave a reasonable estimate, and replaced toilet and damaged flooring promptly and perfectly! Courteous, professional, and friendly! Highly recommend and will call them first if ever needed.

It's been a few years but I was extremely pleased with this company!  Not only was he incredibly thorough but aside from putting in a new garbage disposal he fixed a water purifier faucet with no extra charge.
A very good experience with a very nice person!

Oscar really impressed me the first time I called Excellence Plumbing a couple of years ago after our visiting family accidentally sent broken glass through the garbage disposal.  Oscar advised me over the phone how to clear it out and saved me $$ from having them come out!  Who does that?!  I decided then and there that we had found our household plumber.  So when we recently were dealing with a leaky faucet, I called and got on the schedule.  

The day Justin was scheduled to come out, I received a message that they were behind at another job, and wanted to come later.  I was a little upset since I had made arrangements for my husband to drop my daughter off at preschool (in order to get the first appointment of the day) and was pressed for time before I would have to pick her up.  When I mentioned this to Justin, he apologized and immediately told me he would be right on over.  

Once he arrived, he explained how they were finishing up some work from a prior job and that Oscar had sent him immediately when they heard my situation.  After realizing that I needed a replacement part for the leaky faucet and would need a follow-up appointment (the faucet is high-end and no one carries the part locally), Justin offered to take a look at all of our drains, fixed a couple of small issues that I had with a drain and a faucet handle and fixed a couple of issues with our leaky faucet, since he was here and wanted to be helpful.  Since we didn't have the model# or accompanying documentation for the faucet, and it would be $$$ to replace, Justin called Oscar and he recommended that we take a photo of the faucet to email to the manufacturer for replacement.  Sure enough, I followed their recommendations, and I'm now waiting for the part, and planning to call Excellence as soon as it arrives for them to replace the part for us.  These guys are honest, clearly customer service oriented, and totally professional.  I am a fan.

Here it is at he END of a Saturday (6pm) on a HOLIDAY weekend and our renter had an impossibly plugged toilet. My husband (Dave B) called Watson's number and got an answering service, but they connected him to Dennis of Watson Plumbing almost immediately. Dennis went right over to the renter's and solved the problem for an excellent rate. VERY courteous, lightning fast and super-reasonable fee...and this was after hours and Labor Day weekend! I think there should be a 6 star option.

Mike is incredibly professional and on time. He's a perfectionist at his job so you're going to get quality work, no cutting corners. He is quick and flexible, but very busy. He made numerous visits to get the job done. Bathroom remodel and putting in washer dryer hookups. I 100% would recommend!

Great service by Darren. He was courteous and prompt. Had him do a fireplace service order and he was able to find the problem and fix it right away. Would use CA again!

I had these guys out to my house to install a new Furnace with AC.  They did a great job.  They were clean and respectable, did the job quickly and made sure everything worked before they left.  I just had them out again to install a mini split for my bonus room.  I was worried about how the piping would look on the outside of my house but it looks great!  Super clean.  I recommend Caliber to all of my friends.

I've been waiting for over a month to write this review. I wanted to see if my initial reaction remained and also how the work quality held up. I am now confident to proceed.
Work done: removal of old and installation of new tub fixtures (drain plug, faucet, lever and shower head).
The two positives about this experience were that, 1. He was available to come within our time frame as we had out of town guests arriving and, 2. He was friendly and enthusiastic (and very chatty)
Other than that, we were quite disappointed. The fixtures I picked out at H.D., he said, were not compatible even though they were the same brand as the original. He told me he would make a call to the company to see what their recommended alternative was. In the meantime, he would need my husband to go to Home Depot to get plumber's putty and silicone caulk, which we were kind of surprised he didn't have with him. Garth made 2 trips to get the parts needed and was gone, we both thought, a considerable amount of time for what he was purchasing which ended up being, what I would consider, apartment quality tub fixtures. After he was done and we were $418 poorer, we looked in the bathroom and noticed that he had forgotten to secure the ring around the shower head to the wall so my husband had to do that. I also noticed that the silicone caulking around the tub spout had been so messily applied that it was smeared several inches outside the place where the spout meets the fiberglass shower wall. 3 weeks later, after our guests had gone and I went in to clean, I could see that the silicone around the spout was coming away and the spout was now loose. We have another handyman coming to fix this next week. I really should have waited until he was available. He's already done some work for us since Garth, is much cheaper and is doing a fantastic job. He also doesn't spend much time talking to us.......nothing wrong with that, per se, but, after all, the hourly rate clock is ticking. Lastly, I never received the invoice that he said he would send via email so I don't have a breakdown of the parts and labor charges. Upon further inspection and as I said earlier, I was shocked and disappointed at the low quality of the fixtures. He didn't check with us before installation and once they were in, I just wanted to pay him and stop the clock because he had been there for hours!! This part is totally my fault. I should have paid more attention to what he was doing but it seemed that every time I checked in on him, he started talking to me and I really wanted to leave him alone to get it done asap. Thankfully, it is just a spare bathroom that will be probably be remodeled someday. In hindsight, I wish I would have had more patience and saved the $$ and just left the ugly gold fixtures in there. You live and learn.
Glad some of you had a great experience. Wish we had.

RUDE!!!

I went in for a simply gas reducer, explained to the CSR what I was looking for, have seen it multiple times a person, and the CSR went several times to the back to find it and couldn't.  He then explained to me that many people who visit Mesher were trained for plumbing and know what they want when they come in the door.  I had explained to him what I was looking for and each time he left for the supply isle he came back with a part that I wasn't looking for.  t spent 30 minutes there, 10 of which I was trying to leave.  The CSR wouldn't let me leave and insisted on going back to the supply isles again to find the part.  At this point, I knew of the ignorance of this employee.  So having had enough of rudeness and ignorance, I just left the warehouse and not to make the CSR feel neglected or uniformed (but he sure let me know I didn't know what I was talking about).  Next time, I'll leave it up to the big box stores... at least there CSR's listen and try to help you find the right part.  Mesher CSR didn't and in my personal opinion was having a bad day and trying to make me feel like I was the one who was ignorant and uniformed.  My advice to the CSR, look past the ignorance of not knowing that you don't stock the part and save me the extra 30 minutes of my time and just tell me that you don't stock the part.  Also, I left after paying for a $2.00 part and returning it to them.  I left before he could get a refund  because it was worth the $2.00 of my time to not be there wasting away with this persons ignorance.  Btw, the big box stores had exactly what I was looking for and I didn't need their CSR to help.  God help those who need help: this CSR at Mesher included.

Ken Scott was the plumber on our brand new house. When a problem arose with our sump pump, I reached out to have him come take a look. Between my husband and I, we called almost a dozen times over 2 months and received NO answer. I even left a message stating that I'm new to the Portland area, if he can't help me could he please recommend someone else. NOTHING. Do not waste your time trying to get a hold of Ken at KTP Plumbing. Worthless and disappointing.
