Best in Portland OR

I'd love to leave a review about using Yore Place, but they couldn't even get around to returning my phone call and voicemail. I called on a Thursday, Sept 26th about a leaking water heater and left a voicemail.

No call back. I'm sure it's nice to be so busy that you don't need the work, but a 5-Star business at least has the decency to return a voicemail.

Jacob was great. He's friendly and communicative and provided good solutions for adjusting our aging sprinkler system to cover our new landscaping. He checked with us often during the process to see if he was covering our needs and priorities and seemed happy to discuss any concerns we had. We are extremely satisfied and couldn't recommend him more highly.

I work for a restaurant chain in the Portland area and we needed our kitchen drains unclogged from a grease buildup. We originally had Rescue Rooter out and it was very clear that they were trying to run up the cost of the job without actually getting it fixed.

Then I called Clog Pro.

Danny came out and arrived even earlier than the window I was given. He had a great attitude, offered me great tips to keep the drains clear and charged a much more realistic price than Rescue Rooter did.

Clog Pro will be who I call for all of our restaurant needs and I suggest you do the same for your home or business.

I had a small leak in my water heater. Jared arrived shortly after my call and promptly fixed my leak for a very reasonable price. He even went a step further and added an additional valve as a preventative measure. He was great and I will call them again if I need a plumber.

In the course of having a bathroom remodeled, the contractor called our attention to the condition of the galvanized pipes. Specifically, the insides. They were corroded beyond belief.

Since the house is 49 years old and with no plans to move, it seemed logical that we consider repiping the entire house.

I didn't know who to call but had heard this company's ads, and it seemed like a good place to start.

I made a call and spoke to a rep that was pleasant and informative. We agreed to have another rep come out for a visit. That took a few days, maybe a week.

Kevin, the sales manager, came out. He was prompt, courteous, personable, and on time. He also adequately addressed  my many direct questions and concerns.

Keep in mind that Repipe Specialists is a broker. They find the customer and sell the job (contract), to a plumbing house who does the actual work.

Two important questions I had were why I wouldn't be better off going directly to a plumber, and could I choose who would do the work.

AlthoughI still don't fully understand why, everyone I asked - including my remodeling contractor and the plumber that did the work - told me that going direct would in fact cost me more. That said, I took it at face value and did not consult directly with a plumber. Make of that what you will. All I can figure is Repipe Specialists have an agreement with specific plumbers that ends up costing the customer less.

Don't get me wrong - it's still an expensive proposition.

As to choosing the plumber...Repipe Specialists contract with only a few plumbing houses. When I asked Kevin if I could choose, he said yes, and provided me with about six or seven options. I made my choice based on previous experience and after some additional discussion, he told me that to get the best job possible, he recommended Black Cat Plumbing. After a quick Yelp! and Angie's List search, I agreed.

However, as I always do, I told Kevin I would need to shop the job around. Being a salesman, Kevin offered me a $500 discount if I signed that night. I had to think hard about it but decided to go ahead, despite my best judgement.

Kevin did stipulate that to get the $500 discount, I would need to promise to put up a Yelp! review. I told him I'd be happy to do so, but that I wouldn't lie, good or bad.

And I'm not.

As I recall, my exact words were, Ok, I'm going to take a chance on you and hope I'm not making an expensive mistake.

As it turned out, it was not a mistake. I got a scheduling call from Black Cat about a week later, and It was about a month before they could do it - but that's another review, as is the drywall contractor, PacWest Drywall.

I would advise the following for anybody considering a repipe:

It's expensive

It's invasive

Walls WILL need to be opened up

If you're ok with all of that, I can recommend Repipe Specialists to get the proverbial ball rolling.

I have no regrets and would do it again.

So there you go, Kevin. An honest Yelp review for a job well done! Thank you.

I own a service Plumbing company and can attest to these guys skills and abilities!

We have a vacation home in Portland that we rent out when we're not using it. I have had to use this company multiple times for our heating and AC repairs.

As a landlord, it's beyond stressful to have to deal with breakdowns when out of state. I'm beyond grateful I have these guys on my team!

From the office to the field, they have always been very helpful and professional!

Highly recommend this company to anyone need heating or cooling help! Go sky!

I used Roy, or Tri County Plumbing last fall and was extremely pleased.   I recommend, and will use again; maybe today since I have a bathroom sink with a bad Cold Water valve not working correctly.   Thanks Roy !!

Shower pipe leaking. Brian called me back within 2 hours and knew what needed to be done to fix the problem. Was able to come the same day with the new faucet cartridge and install it. He was on time and very nice, professional and considerate. Would definitely hire him again.

We've used Brass Monkey twice now. Their technicians are very personable and honest, the pricing fair. I've had no issues with their work, they've fixed two leaky tubs for us. I'd say the company aspect that stands out most is their communication. They've got a fabulous and super-friendly scheduler, and they are diligent and efficient about updating you on times. Recommend!

I called Sean because we had water leaking from our upstairs shower drain.
Since we had a good idea what was wrong he was able to give us an estimate over the phone and was available to fix our shower drain.
He communicated very well with us every step along the way.
When he was finished I asked him for an estimate to change out our outdoor faucets.
Luckily he had one in his truck and was able to replace it right then and there.
He did a great job and we will definitely hire him again!!!

Third time I've used John D Plumbing. Each time has been great and they've been able to come the same day. And each time they have been able to do the repair quickly. Plus they offer very reasonable rates.

This evening (of course the night before the holiday) we had a clog at the sewer line that caused everything to backup into our bathtubs, etc. After, no exaggeration, calling 15 plumbers from this site that told me that they couldn't come today, I called Mr. Rooter. They told me that it would be no problem to get someone out & to top it off, they do NOT charge for the technician to come out, just for the work. From the moment Jeremy arrived, he was so professional & thorough while explaining everything. Even showing us with the camera where the clog was & explaining the process to my 12 yr old son who was very impressed. He was able to remove the clog quickly & was beyond pleasant the entire time. I would recommend him & Mr. Rooter to anyone with a plumbing need!!

My wife had been given a name and a number on the back of a business card should we ever need a plumber (evidently teachers discuss their plumbing problems at work:-) I gave Terry a call last week and he happened to be in Canby finishing up another project, so he stopped by and looked at and then worked on my well tank-which turned out to be a bigger project than anticipated. Terry just went to work and got it done. I had an odd size pipe coming up out of the garage floor and Terry did what he could with it. As it turned out it did not work out and I gave Terry a call and left a voice mail (this was on a Saturday). He returned that day and solved the issue, which saved me literally thousands of dollars.
I HIGHLY recommend him as a plumber I know I can count on and as a really affable, nice human being.

Thank you Terry!

Sean fixed a small problem for us recently. He fixed it so quickly I wasn't even charged. Great people at Sutherland Plumping!

This is one of those times that I am simply astonished that this business would treat a former customer with so much disrespect. I used Hillsboro Plumbing twice before to install a toilet and garbage disposal. Travis, the tech who did the previous work was great. But on the third attempt to use them, the lady who answers the phone, well let me put it in a kind way; she is costing them a lot of business. This use to be my go to plumber in Hillsboro, but not anymore. While the actual workers are good, it is nearly impossible to schedule an appointment or get a return call. Their response is that they are too busy and they make no attempt to be helpful. I wish I could speak to Travis about this matter, but I doubt he will be allowed to call me back.

Chris was very quick to respond to my request and questions. He is very knowledgeable and was able to get the job done in a short amount of time. Will use him again in the future.

Rob Peterson gave me specs and price for a Bradford and White 50 gal, 89 gal first hour rated natural gas water heater. Rob and Tim replaced our 15 year old Bradford and White gas water heater this morning.
They removed the old water heater, installed the new one, did another minor bathroom plumbing repair while here, and had cleaned up and were gone in a little over 2 hours.
Price was as quoted and was a fair price based on my on-line research.
Both gentlemen were courteous and professional; explained things as they went through install process. They took their shoes off while working inside the house to keep carpet clean. We recommend the services of Rob's Superior and Sons Plumbing Service to others.

Complete scam.  When I questioned the manager why the material charge was so high, he told me that they purchased an amount of piping that was more than twice as much as was needed. I was never compensated for this extra' material.    They will charge you $100 as a fuel surcharge even if they are a few minutes from your property.   They will also charge you for the time to get materials - in my experience it took over an hour and a half.  I checked the pricing on the materials and they upcharge 40%.  Chaz, the manager, will not take your calls once he knows you are a disgruntled customer.  They price gouge and are extremely dishonest.  Avoid.

This was the worst experience we have ever had with a technician who came to our home.  A man from Rayborn installed a new faucet for the kitchen sink.  When I began to have trouble with it, I called the company multiple times.  I was always told they were working on it, or they couldn't get the information they needed, or whatever.  Finally, we called a different plumber.  He explained why the faucet installed would never work with our set up.  We had to spend hundreds more on a different faucet and pay to have it installed.  Absolutely the worst service ever.  We wasted hundreds of dollars on them.
