Best Wiring Repair in Portland OR

Green Box Mechanical Plumbing Service
I URGE you to not use this company for your electrical or plumbing needs. Our contractor brought this company in to do the work on our bathroom and kitchen and we are SO disappointed in their work and professional behavior.

1. The electrical work in our bathroom was pretty minor. Move 1 electrical outlet, place 2 sconces and make our outlet a 220V vs. 120V for our new gas range.  Firstly, when he came to do the work he said some pretty misogynistic & concerning personal things. Not only did he make ME super uncomfortable, but his fellow plumber and my contractor were thoroughly disgusted by his commentary. Worse than his demeanor, the job he did was wrong...twice.  First, he hooked up the sconces incorrectly so that you had to turn on 2 light switches at a time to get them to turn on. Second, he changed the 220V outlet to what LOOKED like a 120V outlet, but when we put the electronic meter in it, it was still running 220v. It could have COMPLETELY destroyed our new stove. Thankfully, they did send someone else out to fix it who confirmed his work was wrong and re-did the work quickly and efficiently. Our contractor continually told them about his erratic behavior and poor craftsmanship and Greenbox just defended him saying there had been no other complaints.

2. Our plumber was very nice, but did subpar work. When he noticed our pipes were old galvanized pipes, he recommended additional work to go further back than originally intended in our shower.  We appreciated his advice and the charge was extra to re-do our shower drain line which we were fine with.  However, we noticed he went only halfway back - not all the way to the connection. (Our new plumber said this was just lazy work - he also used the wrong turn in the shower drain which our new plumber said we were lucky to pass inspection with)  He also took the sink line and made 2 new connections for our vanity as we now had 2 faucets.  However, after all the tile work was done and my contractor went to hook it up, one of the hot water faucets didn't work.  When he came back to fix it, he told us it was our fault for not getting that section of galvanized pipes fixed.  He never suggested that when he was working on the sink, and said he'd need to either rip out all the tile, or enter from the other side to fix it.  I was so TIRED of Greenbox at this point, that I told him to just tie the hot water off of one line so I could be done with them. Before he left, he suggested we re-pipe the whole house and that it would cost anywhere from 15-20k. When I called in a different plumber (Pipeline plumbing who was a PLEASURE to work with) - they re-piped the entire house for us for a fraction of that price and even FIXED all of the work that was done in the bathroom incorrectly in the first place.

It's one thing to be unhappy with the work, but the extremely unprofessional behavior with the electrician was abhorrent. What makes it worse, is they continually tried to send him out to us (we demanded a different electrician for that 220 mistake) and took no actions to speak with him about his actions.

Do yourself a favor and choose someone else for your plumbing and electrical needs.

Reed’s Mobile RV Service Plumbing Service
Called him out for trailer brake issues.  My opinion is that he was not well prepared or equipped for this issue.
I will say that he was very responsive to my request for help, so for other issues he might be fine.  He was amiable and tolerant of my frustration.  Because I rarely have others fix things on my farm,  I can be a difficult customer. He did help steer me in the right direction, and because of my obvious dissatisfaction only charged me for the service call. I hate wiring issues but decided to fix it myself or take it to a fully equipped and supplied shop..

Advanced Leak Detection Plumbing Service
He found the leak after about 20 minutes which prevented a lot of digging and potentially chopping up our concrete driveway, thanks so much.

Roth Heating & Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical, Drain Services Plumbing Service
Roth was recommended to me by a co-worker who had nothing but good things to say, so I thought I'd give them a try.

I called and explained exactly what I needed to be done. The individual I spoke with was friendly and seemed on top of things, took good notes and read them back to me, so I was confident that they knew what I needed and would be able to communicate that to the technician that would be coming out to my house to give me an estimate on the work.

The technician comes, goes over the notes, and I explain what I'm looking for in more detail. Then the technician tells me that's not really the kind of work they do and charges me $.00 for the consultation. He did work up an estimate for me, but it was clear it was not work they wanted or would really be willing to do.

I feel Roth had multiple opportunities to understand what I was asking for, and determine that it was not in the scope of their practice prior to the consultation... prior to me having to take an afternoon off work, and prior to charging me $90.00 for nothing.

Smells like bad business practices to me, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

UPDATE:
Wow! Thanks for that dismissive explanation, great five-star customer support.
/sarcasm

I totally understand Roth sending a technician out is an expense to your company... one you clearly don't want to consider the cost of doing business. And yes, the $89 fee was explained to me up front (I never said it wasn't), and I was fine paying it assuming Roth was going to make an honest attempt to fill my need.
I don't think you understand the source of my frustration. The technician clearly stated to me this is not the type of work Roth typically does. And as I also previously stated, yes, I was provided a quote. A quote that was $2000 dollars more than the next highest estimate I got for the same work, sending me the message that it is clearly not work Roth wanted.
So again, my frustration is still the fact that Roth had at least two opportunities to tell me this is not work they wanted and instead they charged me $89 to waste my time.
