Best Businesses in Seattle, WA

Thursday, August 13, I contacted Swift plumbing to unclog my kitchen sink. They quoted Monday, but the next day, Friday, they had a cancellation. Errol and Dan showed up about 11 AM, looked at the job, fetched their equipment, did the job, and were on their way to the next job in about 15 minutes. I gave them five stars in this review because they were quick, knowledgeable, clean, and efficient and the price was very acceptable.

I'd earlier called another service but they wanted $300, far more than I thought reasonable or could afford for what I knew to be a simple straight-forward drain cleaning and declined. I called several other services who were non-commital about pricing. Swift Plumbing and Heating were also cagey but promised they would work with me and they did. For that reason, I would recommend Swift Plumbing and Heating to anyone with clogged drains and a limited budget.

I want to thank and recognize James, David and the entire office team for OUTSTANDING work on our central air conditioning.  James identified and installed a solution that multiple other companies said was not possible.  My family greatly appreciates the creativity, expertise and customer service of James and the Ally team.  We could not more highly recommend them!

Shame on you! My 79 year old, retired mom was charged $420 to replace a rubber stopper in her toilet. Is this how you want you mom or grandma treated? I understand plumbers provided a valuable and skilled service, but in my opinion this should have cost $200 max = $100-$150 labor + $50 for parts. Again, shame on you, Bellevue Plumbing, for taking advantage of a senior citizen.

An area of our gutter storm drain pipe was heavily clogged with dirt, mud, and debris due to faulty work by the builder.

Pipelining Northwest was very responsive and provided us a fair quote to fix our drain. Their teams of specialists were very knowledgeable, experienced, and did a wonderful job replacing a 6 foot section of our storm drain. From start to finish, they were very professional and made sure the job was completed correctly to my liking. They even hydro jetted our French drain.

I'm so glad I found this company on Yelp! I highly recommend them.

William did a wonderful job. He was here on time, left a clean workspace and knew what he was doing. He was friendly, and stopped all our leaks.

We also had a water filtering system in the kitchen and he was able to replace a broken part and have us up and drinking filtered water quickly.

I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Ryan was super fast at fixing our plumbing issues.  So courteous and good priced.  I would recommend him for any of your plumbing needs

We have a deep freeze in the PNW and I suspected the faucet in the front yard had frozen and potentially burst. I contacted Professional Plumbers and was asked to send pictures of the faucet. I did and was told don't worry about it and to just wait and see what happened once it thawed. I asked for a phone call back as I had some questions and was told they would call me back in 5 minutes. I never got a phone call. I texted again and asked my questions and no response. I called a different plumber and they came out. The hose bib had frozen and split and I had I waited for everything to thaw, it would have been a bad situation.

I called Hans' Plumbing for a leaking toilet and Justin came over to fix it and he was awesome. Not only did he quickly fix the problem he also took the time to explain what the problem was as well as the different options I could choose from to fix it. He made sure to indicate the pluses and negatives of all choices including the most cost effective approach. I appreciated the honesty as well as his overall enthusiasm. when you call a service like this Justin is the exact type of person you cross your fingers and hope will show up.

So I will definitely use Hans' Plumbing again in the future. Nothing, but a positive experience.

No call back. No response to email.  Hours says they open on Saturday, today is monday.  Started with this business cause it's near my home, and the great reviews on yelp, but the clogged kitchen sink couldn't wait so my wife schedule a rooter company.  If a business is not open during stated hours, I think they should change their hours online.  Maybe next time

Update 1/21/13- Got a thoughtful email by Sam owning up to the lack of communication.  Many business don't care about that stuff, but he obviously wants to better his business by being upfront and owning up to dropping the ball.  Good business practices and still in my neighborhood, I haven't given up on them but I hope don't have plumbing issues in the near future!

Pioneer made a difficult problem easy. We had other companies put together bids without ever knowing the actual issue. These guys are tops. And we're more than satisfied with the result.

Mike found our leak quickly. Was professional and friendly and was clear on the cost up front which I appreciate. Came on time. Great communication.  I would call him again if needed. Two thumbs up

So far, we're thrilled with Seatown. I sent out a ton of quote requests; they were the first to respond and first to quote. When I was feeling overwhelmed with all the different opinions, Bryan came over again with a no-BS opinion and we compared all the estimates.

For someone who doesn't know a thing about electricity, I deeply appreciated the extra time he took to explain things in layman's terms. Repeatedly.  And to not drown me in up-selling other products.

We have them scheduled to install a fan in our bathroom and I'll update afterwards!

Contracted with plumbing unit and Mark W. came out to replace and fix old tub faucet and drains.  Both times he came out he went above and beyond the call of any duty, to not only fix what we contracted for, but to do some extra's (no extra charge!) like a leaking toilet he saw!  He completed the job faster than expected, and charged us less than the estimate.  You can not ask for a better guy; he saves you money, fixes stuff beyond the contract, gives free advice for a novice handyman like me, and all the while, is so super-considerate and friendly!  As high a recommendation as I can give someone.  I almost want to have another plumbing problem so we can use his services again!  (ok, that may be stretching it...no one wants more plumbing problems, still, if I had one, I would go back here in a New York Minute!.)    :)

with regards to Chandler H's Comments below, I am the property manager for his house. I went over to look at it to make sure it was Not a loose pipe, after doing so, I called my dependable Plumber as in Preston Plumbing (who I have used for the entire time I have been doing Property Management. Anyway- Preston just called the tenant Chandler to set a time, but at the same time asked if she could possibly shoot a picture of the underneath of the sink & text to his cell phone, as there are thousands of parts that possibly would be needed and Preston just wanted to make sure that he came prepared to fix the job once and for all.  Anyway- the tenant basically told him that he would not do that and basically told him to get over there and fix it.  Preston called me to let me know and I called the tenant to let him know I was coming over to shoot that picture, which he refused to let me do and finally texted the picture.  I think I had a tenant that was having a bad day.  Anyway- I know Preston personally and he would NEVER tell anyone to F-off, that is for sure!! We felt it best to get a different company to go look at the problem as it seemed that the Tenant had a problem with Preston which went back to installing a brand new dishwasher the owners purchased for this unit.  Anyway- I felt it unfair for the tenant to talk about my trusted Plumber this way- as he has done everything right on all the other jobs that I have had him do and at a fair price.  As it was the owner ended up paying probably double what Preston Plumbing would have charged to fix if he just had a quick picture of the piping under the sink.

We had a few unusual plumbing jobs where we needed professional help (one with water lines, one with gas lines).  Marcy (scheduling) and Devin (plumber) were awesome from start to finish.  They were nice, easy to work with, and did awesome work.  Devin went above and beyond on both jobs.  Never thought I'd rave about a plumber, but these guys were awesome!

Joe and his assistant installed an under-the-sink water filtration system for us.  He did a wonderful job!  Not only did he explain what he was doing and what all the parts were (I was curious about this) but he was very patient and kind.  Joe checked everything twice and made sure that it was working well before he left.  He is experienced, thorough, and competent.  I would hire him again to work on our house.  I agree with a previous review:  this is solid, quality work!

There is a lot to praise for this company.  My hot water pilot light was not turning on at the house that I rent out in bremerton.  I did not have time to replace the thermo couple so I made some phone calls.  One company (Harts plumbing and Excavation)  was trying to rip me off saying that it would cost $540.00 to replace the thermal couple shame on you.  Anewhere plumbing was far much cheaper.  They were honest and quoted me $140.00.   Erika did an awesome job setting up the appointment and getting things going.  I would definitely call them if I ever need help again.  Adam, who fixed my tank was very nice over the phone and updated me regarding how it went when he replaced the thermal coupler.

We have an old craftsman home built in 1920's and Soreano's was highly recommended for old homes. Our old pipes were leaking for sometime and Ron, Brad and crew did a phenomenal job replacing the pipes in our basement. A job that would've taken 5hrs, they completed in 2hrs. Friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient! I think I've found my new go-to plumber. Also, an added bonus they are a small business in Columbia City. Supporting small local businesses!
