Everlast Plumbing

Zak is the owner of Everlast Plumbing and he and Dylan did a top-notch job plumbing my bathroom remodel (on a 1947 home) which included sink, tub an toilet.  I also had them replace a kitchen faucet and install an outside warm/cold water hose bib.  There were tricky areas when working on the bathroom because of it being an older home - esp the tub area - things weren't level/square anymore so they had to contend with that but they took it in stride and made it all come together!  Zak made sure that I was happy with his work and he listened when I had questions.  He and Dylan communicated well with me and the GC.  Easy to work, good people, great work ethic and and did great work - I will look to hire him for future plumbing needs!

Given the recent freeze and so many having busted pipes and other issues involving plumbing I wasn't surprised when every plumbing company I contacted quoted1 - 2 weeks out or a flat out no for new jobs or new customers. What did surprise me was when Zak (the owner) texted me back that they had someone in the area that could come out right away.  Well I missed that window because I didn't see the text in time, but Zak said he could come by a little later. And he did. And though it was simple for him to take care of our problem, my health issues stopped me from doing it. So Zak being able to come out right away, assess and take care of the problem was truly a help. He also explained what was going on and what we will no doubt be looking at down the road.

He also noticed and quickly fixed a problem with a disposal that another contractor had put in but hadn't correctly finished. Given his response time and attitude Everlast Plumbing has moved to the top of my call list for future plumbing work.

I was referred to Everlast Plumbing from another plumbing company for some drain work that needed to be done in our crawlspace. Another contractor found our drain to be leaking and requested we get the issue fixed with a plumber before they proceed with cleanup work.

Our original plumber was not able to complete the work we needed, so I called Zak at Everlast. My call was returned promptly, and I received a quote range after providing some photos and details of the work that was needing done. Zak asked some clarifying questions in order to match the new bathtub hardware with our existing setup.

Dylan came out a couple days later, lowered himself into our crawlspace, and went to work. Dylan worked on our drain for a few hours, but had set out drop cloths to avoid getting our house dirty with the fallout from the job.

After completing the job, Everlast explained the work completed, reasons we had the leak in the first place, and gave me advice on another upcoming small project.

Thanks! I'd recommend this company, but hopefully won't need them again for awhile.

My exterior hose pipe protruded from the wall and despite insulation, started leaking after 20* weather. Zak was quick to respond to my request for help and he was available within a couple of days (everyone else was at least a week out).
Zak showed up promptly, explained the problem to me, fixed it well and was super clean and respectful of my space. I'm very happy with the work and will call him next time I need plumbing assistance! He even took a look at a couple of other things while he was here and talked through when I need to do them. I highly recommend Everlast Plumbing!

I hired Everlast Plumbing to install new shower heads in my bathrooms, fix a leak underneath my kitchen sink and a slow draining bathroom sink. Dylan was professional, easy going and got right to work. He did a fantastic job!  The owner of the company, Zak, was responsive in communication and honest in his business pricing. I highly recommend this company and will definitely hire them again for future needs.

Scheduled us ahead of time. Very prompt service and very professional. Found the leak! Great service! Thank you!

We're first time homeowners who bought our house knowing that it was going to need to be completely repiped, including the line out to the street. We got bids from 6 different plumbers before deciding to go with Everlast and could not have had a better experience. I'm not usually one to write reviews, so the fact that I'm writing this at all is a testament to how great it was working with Zak and Dylan.

Not only was Zak's bid one of the most competitive (I think only one other company was less expensive, and only slightly), but we got the impression that everyone else who placed a bid would be treating our house like a worksite, while Zak and co. would treat it like our home. Seems like a small thing but it really made us feel a lot more comfortable with the idea of our house getting ripped apart. Repiping the whole house is no small task and we were anxious! Zak was so incredibly patient and thorough from the very start; answering all of our questions and making sure to cover some important considerations for this kind of work that we had probably not thought of as new homeowners. It was an easy choice to go with Everlast.

When the job actually started, both Zak and Dylan were amazing. Professional, friendly, efficient, communicative, personable, etc. Pick a positive adjective; they were that. They were always open to answering our questions with enthusiasm, and without apparent frustration at our naivete, and always checked in with us when they had deviate from an earlier discussed plan, or when they were about to make some necessary noise. They finished a day earlier than expected and the final price matched the original bid.

All in all, we truly could not be happier to have gone with Everlast for the job. If you hire anyone else to repipe your house, you're making a mistake.

Zak is excellent. He is very informative, communicative, and personable. He really takes the time to listen to you, understand your wants and concerns, and clearly communicates his professional opinion on the best approach. Zak is very trustworthy and honest, and I never felt like he was trying to push me toward a certain option or sell me anything, he just wanted to help me solve my issues and make the best decision for our home and situation.

We had a major back up that impacted our entire upstairs. After calling a big mainstream drain company out of desperation, all we received was a big bill and no solutions. We contacted Zak, and he came out as soon as he could, recommended a better local small business drain company, and then talked  through all of our options for repairing the issue. I will be using Zak in the future for all of my plumbing needs, and would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Zak, took my call at 6:00pm
Came up with a plan and an estimate through photos, then showed up bright and early and fixed a nightmare scenario in my 1915 basement, which included a giant cement basin that had FAILED as well as leaking pipes.
I cannot emphasis enough how impressed my husband and I both were with Zak. He is a true tradesperson, skilled, and graceful and kind with hysterical ladies.
I wish I could give him 10 stars for this job we are so grateful. Truly

Is the best plumber I have ever met and very glad to have met. Walked me through and issue I was having over the phone. Would never recommend anyone else besides zack.

I'd give more stars if I could. Zak returned my call and was on site within an hour. I had a very tricky leak, Zak troubleshooted until he figured out exactly what the issue was. He worked incredibly hard and fast, but kept smiling the whole time. Explained everything as he went and was willing to teach about what he was doing and also tips for the future. Excellent service and the final price felt very fair. I would 100% recommend. If my mom needed a plumber, he would be my first call.

Zak Slicher installed my new bath tub. He arrived on time, as scheduled, provided updates as he got closer, and went overboard to make sure everything was done correctly and then some.  He is scrupulously honest, affable, and smart.  If there's ever a drip or a drop in my future, there's only one guy I'll call and you should too.  Everlast Plumbing.  Zak sets a high bar (and you'll know it will never leak)!

Thanks Zak for your help, insights, and advice.

I had Zak give me an estimate to replace some galvanized with PEX. Replace my claw foot tub's drain, and repair a basement drain. Zak was very professional, personable, and informative. Unfortunately he found some issues with one of my drain pipes in the basement that was setup for the laundry drain. However, he was able to work with me to find a solution that didn't break the bank. He explained multiple solutions to give me options which I appreciated. He provided multiple pictures (as I was unable to be on site), and spent time answering all my questions throughout the process.  
He went above and beyond to meet my expectations. Zak is now my go to plumber, and I would recommend him to anyone needing a plumber.

Zak was fantastic. I first called him when I needed help getting the cartridge on our shower faucet to set correctly. He wasn't judgmental at all that I was attempting this minor project myself and ended up having to call for help. He was able to make it to our house within a few hours after my call.

We then asked him to complete two other projects. He re-worked the plumbing under our shower and he ran new plumbing for our washing machine. Our house is over 100 years old with quirky plumbing throughout, and most plumbers basically tell us we need to redo everything. Zak skillfully solved the most pertinent problems while maintaining the integrity of the existing plumbing. His pricing was very competitive.

Zak was a pleasure to talk to as well! I highly recommend Everlast Plumbing and will be calling Zak for our future plumbing needs!

If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, dependable and professional at a reasonable price, then look no further. We've used Zak twice now; once about a year ago to install a new kitchen sink faucet and replace the old plumbing, then again last week to replace our leaky outdoor faucet.

What's great about Zak is that I know I can trust him to get the job done right. He's always on time, very responsive to texts and top of that he's a genuinely nice guy that's easy to talk to. I feel lucky to have Zak's number and will continue to go to him for our plumbing needs.

Called on a very busy day. Zak was not able to assist me but was super friendly and offered a great referral! Nicest guy!

I never write reviews, but Zak deserves all the stars. Zak has been my go-to plumber for many years. I've had him out for various repairs from bathroom sink help to rerouting and updating the drainage for our new washing machine. I've referred him to others more times than I can count on both hands. He's smart, timely, prices his work fairly, and is a gem of a human. I love knowing I've got him in a pinch. Don't hesitate to call him for your plumbing needs.

Most impeccable service I've ever experienced with any contractor. Zak is a true professional that gave honest and fair quotes and went above and beyond his scope of work to finish a job another contractor wouldn't finish. If I could give him more stars, I would! Don't waste your time looking into other plumbers. Zak is your guy!

Zak did a great job in diagnosing our multiple mystery issues.  We had several other plumbers come in and gave differing advice, but Zak really cut through some of the confusion to offer sound, actionable advice on how to fix our problems.  Great professionalism - and awesome to support a local owner/operator business!

Zak did a great job removing galvanized pipes and re-routing the water lines in my 100 year old house.  He was responsive via email, phone, and text; accommodating to various requests from me and my wife; and got the work done as planned.  After BDS inspected and approved, he came back to finish the work very quickly (an exterior pipe / access point needed to be covered back up).

I have him on speed dial now for my future plumbing needs!

After calling at least eight other highly-rated plumbers in Portland, Zak came to the rescue and was able to drop by our place in less than an hour to fix an emergency leak. He did an excellent job and was professional, courteous, efficient, and communicative throughout the process. We will definitely hire him again!

Amazing communication, and timeliness. We had an emergency plumbing need, the team showed up when they said they would, assessed and fixed the problem immediately at a very reasonable rate. I highly recommend! Thank you, Everlast!

Zak was great: don't hesitate to call him. I got my bathroom sink snaked this morning (not by Zak), and that caused the basement drain pipe to burst--it was paper-thin. Not the drain guy's fault, just ancient plumbing. Anyway, he recommended Zak. He was here by mid-afternoon and in two hours it was better than new, for a reasonable price. He explained everything he did, and wrote it down in detail on the invoice as well.

He has a genuine enthusiasm for his job and is an excellent interpreter of the mysteries of plumbing. I like that he's an independent small business. Also, I ended up asking for an estimate for repiping the house and a new supply line (he specializes in repiping old houses), and I was impressed that he encouraged me to get other estimates.

Also a genuine dog lover, which counts for a lot in my book. He's definitely the first one I'll call next time.

CALL THIS COMPANY Now!!!!!!
Would give 10* if I could. Zack is the most reliable and honest plumber around. He has done all my business's and home. He's on time, professional, and pricing is spot on. You know when he completes a job you are NOT getting ripped off. Call him now! You won't be let down. Thanks for several years of service.

Zak did a fantastic job for us! We had a shower that wouldn't stop running. The only way to turn off the shower was to turn off water to the entire house; creating a quite urgent situation! Zak responded to my call promptly and fit us into his schedule when his referral had closed for the evening. He stayed late to finish so that we could turn our water back on and not wait until the next day (it would have been a tough night without water!). He is extremely knowledgeable and explained both our problem and future things to keep in mind as our old house ages. George Morlan calls him Dr. Zak and volunteered that he was both among the best and a great person. I highly recommend him as well.

Zak is awesome. If you're a new homeowner, and you're tackling a remodel, I highly recommend him. With great communication and a positive personality, Zak gets the job done right. He expertly powered through any plumbing issues our older classic house had, and he's happy to walk you through his process and thoughts on a project before he starts the work. We will definitely reach out to him again for any future plumbing projects.

My tenant reported that the shower handle broke off and was not able to turn off the water. I reached out to several plumbers to get this issue looked at. Zak responded very quickly, and though he was booked out for sometime, he told me what he thought the problem was. It was indeed what he said it was and I was able to fix the problem on my own. Thanks Zak!

After an outside hose bibb failed and leaked water inside one of my walls, I was in serious need of help and had to shut the water off to my house entirely. I began going down the list of local plumbers, calling anyone with decent reviews, but nearly everyone was booked for at least the next 48 hours -- that is, until I called Zak at Everlast Plumbing. He answered the phone right away; no receptionist, no automated menu, just an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guy who talked me through how he would get my leaky pipe situation fixed. Despite having other appointments, he said he would try to fit me into his schedule that afternoon or the next morning at the latest. And knowing that it was an emergency, he even referred me to another company that might be able to make it to my house earlier than he could (even though they weren't able to). He had me text him photos of the area with the leak and quoted me a price range based on what we talked about. The next morning, Zak was at my place, ready to get started, and even a few minutes early. He discussed and showed me exactly what he planned to do and was EXCEPTIONALLY clean in the area he was working in. He pointed out how everything was installed and made sure the new bibb was better than the original. And to top it all off, the price he quoted was the price I paid -- no extra service fees or surprises (granted, I'm confident that if the job was more complicated than he thought, he would have adjusted the price fairly and explained exactly why).

I'm extremely happy with the work he did, impressed at how quickly he did it, and grateful that honest, friendly, knowledgeable people like Zak are out there. I have no hesitation recommending Everlast Plumbing to anyone, and I plan on calling Zak first if I ever need any plumbing help in the future.

Zak was absolutely fantastic! Was in a bit of a panic state after stripping and breaking the bolt that seemingly was impossible to remove from our old iron toilet flange.  Gave Everlast Plumbing a call first thing in the morning and he answered right away, gave me excellent information and the possible scenarios for repair and was at my door within an hour.  Zak was personable, knowledgeable, and completely transparent about the pros/cons and possible outcomes of the repair.  He worked quickly and efficiently and explained everything he did after the fact creating a great sense of ease and reassurance for me. So thrilled with the repair and grateful for the quick turnaround time! I cannot say enough good things about Everlast Plumbing. Give Zak a call- you will be 100% satisfied!

I had a pretty bad leak in my crawl space. Zak came over the same day I called him and was able to repair the leak. He was extremely thorough and explained everything going on. I will call him for all my future plumbing needs.

Zak was awesome. Definitely the best experience I have ever had with licensed work. He removed my galvanized piping in my 1911 house and completely redid the plumbing. He gave me a detailed estimate and description of the work to be performed and finished in his estimated time which was fast! Communication was easy and he listened to exactly what I needed. I have nothing but praise for him and his work and will be recommending him to anyone that wants a plumbing job done correctly while being treated like a person and not just a paycheck.

Okay, I didn't actually use him yet, but he was extremely helpful on the phone, and I really appreciated him taking the time to listen to my plumbing problem and offer suggestions. If I end up needing a plumber (which I probably will once I try to fix something myself), he will definitely get my call.

Over 6 years ago I had a life changing injury that caused me to become paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. I had to remodel my bathroom to be wheelchair accessible. Zak did the plumbing for my roll in shower and my roll in sink and also relocated my toilet. It's been over 6 years and I have no issues. The way he plumbed my toilet(used my exist toilet, I didn't buy a new one) it flushes better than before. He did an amazing job. He is very honest and just a good guy.
My Dad passed away June 2018, we were having a big ceremony at my mom's house, my mom needed a new kitchen sink and a pipe
was leaking in the bathroom. We called Zak and he came out right away and installed the kitchen sink and fixed the leak in the bathroom. My mom was so grateful of Zak. In a time of mourning he relieved my mom of one less thing to stressed about.
My husband called him a few weeks ago to help with extended some drain pipes and he was able to come out the same day. I would highly recommend him.

I just called Everlast plumbing for an estimate for a new gas line. Unfortunately they were booked solid in my timeframe. However, they answered immediately and provided me with a recommendation. This review is for their customer service and quick response. Thank you so much and if I'm able to use your company in the future I will definitely give you a call

I called Zak in a bit of a panic because our kitchen sink water pressure dropped the day before we were set to list our house for sale. Assuming the worst, I thought for sure there was a leak in our pipes. Zak was booked out for a month but still took the time to walk me through a few debugging scenarios I could do myself over the phone and offered his opinion on what he thought it could be. Lucky for me, his suggestion worked and water pressure was restored (crisis averted!). I REALLY appreciated Zak's professionalism and willingness to help over the phone. It speaks volumes to his integrity and expertise. Should I ever need any plumbing services in the future, Zak will be the first one I call!

I hired Zak to do rough in drain and supply plumbing for a half bath conversion of the pantry off my kitchen.  It was a tricky job that involved snaking drain pipe behind my basement water heater and washing machine/dryer.  Then I ended up hiring him to do the toilet/sink/faucet installation plus several other maintenance plumbing tasks on my 100 year old house.  Zak is an excellent communicator, responsive in answering texts/calls/emails, providing scheduling information and explaining what needs to be done.  He does meticulous work and was always punctual and prepared.  I was impressed that he suggested a way I could save money by doing the shopping for some mounting brackets, and that worked out just fine.  His pricing was on target and on top of it all, he is one of the most pleasant trades persons I have ever met.  I will certainly call on Everlast Plumbing for future plumbing needs.

Zak came highly suggested by someone at George Morlan, and they were spot on. A handyman had broken part of my ancient tub plumbing and the part was irreplaceable. I had already been through hell and back trying to get parts and someone who could fix it, and I was panicking because I have a house full of teens and there was no shower. It was an extensive, tricky job and Zak came prepared with everything needed. He installed new plumbing parts, new fixtures, everything. After he was done he reviewed my old crap-ass pipes and gave feedback. He even showed me a few things. As a single foster mom I really appreciated such honest, excellent service.

I called Zak because I had a leaky shower.  First of all, he talked to me over the phone over the initial consultation, giving me pointers so I could try to troubleshoot on my own.  When it appeared I'd need his help, he was courteous and we were able to schedule a mutually agreeable time.  When that day arrived, he was there promptly and helped me diagnose the problem.  I always felt heard and never rushed, like he was going to another job or that this one wasn't important.  I'd definitely recommend Everlast Plumbing and plan to use their services again on my next plumbing job.  Thanks!

Replaced our garbage disposal at a great price. Friendly,clean, honest. While he was at our home, we asked him to look at two of our toilets. He spent plenty of time making sure we understood everything about the issues with our toilets but never pressed us to use his services. We're having him come back to replace the two toilets at a very reasonable price. We highly recommended him.
