Best Heater Installation in Seattle WA

We went by solid 5 star reviews on yelp as well, but this company grossly overcharges for their services.  Yes, they came on time, Justin was knowledgable, but then it was time to give me the prices... We had a few things to address but the primary reason he came was because our garbage disposal failed.  We didn't want to fix it since it's been with the house for 15 years, plus we wanted to add an air switch instead having to turn on the switch inside the cabinet of the island. The opening for the switch was available by removing the soap dispenser. Simple job, and the price tag? $640 (that included $59 coming out fee) for installing badger 1 disposal that can be bought on Amazon for $75 (active work time = 45min).  He left the old switch in place and connected the air switch to it but failed to tell me that I have to have it in on position for the air switch to work.  

Now the prices I was quoted for other services:

- Replacing outdoor hose spigot (x2): $350 each (with or without having to open the wall in case of complications)
- Replacing toilet overflow valve (x2): $230 each
- Replacing leaky bathroom faucet (x2): $220 each

No thanks!

Great service! Friendly, quick & old school West Seattle.  Price was beyond fair!  Nice to now have a guy for that!  Replaced our corroded kitchen drain line & we are very happy!

We originally found Ben through all of his rave reviews on Yelp.  After working with him on the remodel of our home, I now know exactly why all of his reviews are 5 stars!  Holy crap, he is amazing!!  Not only is his work top notch (he fixed some major issues created by other contractors), but he is so incredibly kind and professional.  On more than one occasion, I would call, leave a voicemail, and he would call or text back within minutes to make sure he was responsive to my issue.  And even before we hired him, he wrote incredibly detailed and helpful responses to my email inquiries.  All in all, he is just a great guy and a fantastic plumber.  We will be using him for all of our future plumbing needs!

Unresponsive and unreliable. The owner Dave returned my call, we discussed the project, and he asked me to text him with my contact info as a reminder, so he could come over and do the project the next day. I texted him every day to remind him and ask if he was coming that day, and he told me each day to check back tomorrow. Finally a week later he's now stopped returning my texts. Terrible way to run a business.

my bathroom exhaust fan/light in the shower crapped out. I bought a new fan and Will installed it for me. Very personable and friendly service!

on time and completed the job as required at a very reasonable price.

Erik and helpers have helped us keep this old house running lately and we so appreciate his hard work, even in the wretched heat!  Always on time or early, charges always according to his estimates.

All Ways Rooter is very easy to work with, gives good rates, and is thorough with explanation/communication about the work done! I cannot recommend them enough

My water heater broke and flooded the garage the night before Thanksgiving. I called and got many quotes. Vortex gave me a call back right away. They had the best price and they had the availability to come out on Thanksgiving morning. They didn't charge me extra for the holiday. They did a professional job. The new water heater was installed well and works great.

We had a clogged shower drain.  Tried using the baking soda and vinegar solution and then went and get a handheld drain auger with no success the previous evening.  Called this morning to see if there were any openings in the next couple of days.  I was able to get an appointment the same day and Brian even arrived early, had our drain cleared quickly to the cheering and applause of myself and my teens.   I think the price seemed very reasonable.  I will call them again if needed and will recommend them to family.

Jose and his son, did a perfect job replacing an old nasty maturation pump that was failing. Jose is smart, experienced, trustworthy, and a great source of knowledge. I highly recommend JV plumbing.

Update - The manager reached out to us and worked with us to rectify the situation. He was also sincerely apologetic. We rescheduled the company to come back out and complete the job. The two workers were on time, professional and efficient. Thank you for doing a good job, I'd now recommend this company.

WOW WOW WOW! What can I say about this company. Tim was absolutely fantastic! The best thing I can do is describe our experience. We called tech city about a faucet that wasn't working. They booked us less that two days later for an appointment at our convenience. Tim and his partner showed up right on time and were incredibly polite and professional. Tim listened to our problem and found the solution within 60 seconds! Not only did he find the problem, but he fixed it right away! Such an amazing company and will 1000% be using them exclusively in the future!

Robel came first thing Christmas morning, and diagnosed and fixed our problem, and cleaned up, in less than an hour. He was super friendly and explained everything clearly and walked us through what we could do to prevent it in the future. Could not recommend this company more.

Good experience with this company. Would recommend so far. If there is an issue with their workmanship, I'll update.

Service was good. No complaints.
My problem was with the pricing. Usually with all plumbers I've worked before, they charge by hours of labor ($150-$200 per hour in Seattle area) plus the cost of materials.
Price Busters gave me an upfront price of $600 with no explanation of how it breaks down to expected time or materials.
Their technician finished the work in less than 30 minutes (!!), and the only material was a standard check-valve (about $20) and a 24 pipe (about $50).
Even if you consider 30 minutes as a whole hour, and add some overhead, profit, warranty etc. you'll never get to more than $300 for this kind of work.
I had no choice but paying the $600 they charged me...
The last thing I'd expect from a business named Price-Busters is being dishonest in their pricing.

John came through for a leaking attachment under our sink. He made us feel comfortable with his easy demeanor, explained our plumbing problem clearly and gave us a quick estimate. Luckily the fix was fairly straightforward and he was able to be in and out in less than an hour! We also appreciated his thoughtfulness in wearing a mask in these COVID times as well as his friendly yet professional attitude. We highly recommend him and the company to anyone who needs plumbing help!

After having an estimate done on a side sewer issue....I discovered at 8pm that my toilet was leaking. After trying to fix it myself with no success I called Jafco and Dwayne who did my estimate was on call! He was here within an hour and had the toilet fixed in 15 minutes. And was kind enough to let me know what I did wrong (I needed two wax rings not one ‍...who knew) These guys are golden and Dwayne is the best! Seriously, I've dealt with numerous contractors and service companies and have never had such great customer service.

Called today to see about getting a wax seal replaced.  Al showed up and at first trudd to say it wasn't the wax seal causing the leak and that the males in the house were not aiming properly. (I found this a little difficult to believe and can only think he was trying to get his hour rate just for showing up.  Also the leak was coming up on the opposite side of the room, so unless the males REALLY can't aim, this reinforced my assumption)
After prodding them, they eventually did pull the toilet off, replace the ring and as they were reinstalling the toilet, they noticed a crack in the toilet and instead of offering to replace it (at this point I could not determine who was at fault for the crack), or waiting for me to go to home depot down the street, the proceeded to remount the toilet and then left.  Now I will have to pay another fee to get them to pull the toilet off AGAIN, so they can replace it.  
These guys were recommended by Forest Ridge plumbing and will definitely be letting them know about this piss poor service (no pun intended)

Beware -- avoid this company at all costs. They play hardball. We called South West a few years ago to do some work -- ended up charging us a fee to just get an estimate. They quoted an overpriced rate for the job and we agreed to it (we just wanted it finished and didn't have time to get a second quote -- big mistake). The next day one of the lines they installed broke and flooded our house. South West accepted zero responsibility and refused to even refund our money. Fortunately, we have a good insurance company and our credit card company backed us up and we had our money refunded. This is a very shady company -- their promise of 100% satisfaction is a lie. If you need plumbing work take some time to find a real plumber and ignore South West's flashy ads and marketing campaign.

Puget Sound Plumbing came to my office to check on why my toilet was clogged. The so called plumber immediately told me my toilet was old. I thought that was strange given it was a fairly new toilet. He proceeded to spend 2 minutes attempting to unclog the toilet, the told me the clog was int the toilet so I would need to hire him to replace the toilet. I told him it was obvious the toilet wasn't the issue and he said, Are you a plumber. After he left I removed the toilet and confirmed it wasn't the toilet. I then rented a snake a fixed the clog in the drain. They refused to make things right. DO NOT HIRE THESE CROOKS.
