Get matched with top sink installation pros in Buxton, OR

"Grumpy's Drains was the only company who could get us on their schedule within a week. A half hour before our appointment time, Keith called to let me know he was on his way and then showed up exactly on time. My husband had tried to snake the drains multiple times with no success. Keith was able to clean the clog out of the tub in less than 10 minutes (water balloon and hair clog). He then went to work on the pedestal sink. That was a much more difficult clog while working in a tight space. Keith was cheerful, funny and kind the entire time. The first clog cost a flat $178 and the additional drain was $88. It was money well spent and I would absolutely call on this company again in the future."

"Our CPVC house piping had a lot of water hammer. After turning on the washing machine, I walked out for a moment, and then when I came back in water was dripping from the ceiling exhaust fan onto the washing machine. We have a two story house and they ran the hot water plumbing from the water heater in the garage through the laundry room ceiling. I removed the exhaust fan and could see water dripping from a tee way back beyond reach. The water hammer from the washer likely caused the fitting to start leaking. I turned the house water supply off and sent a message to Simpson plumbing through Angie's list. A lady from Simpson plumbing contacted me right away the next morning. She was courteous, but was having a hard time understanding what the problem was. Maybe I was giving too much information or something, but when the plumbers arrived later that afternoon they didn't understand what was going on. I ran through what happened again and showed them the wet spot on the ceiling. They had to cut an opening in the ceiling and we turned the water on and confirmed the leak. We moved my washing machine out of their way and they cut out the CPVC tee and replaced it with PEX. The piping was brittle so it took him a couple of attempts to get a straight cut which is why I called them to mess with it. After installing the PEX tee, we were leak free and at my request they provided a reference for the drywall repair. He also advised getting some water hammer arrestors installed on the supply lines to the washing machine to stop the water hammer, which I have since done."

"** I'll preface this review by saying that we were first time remodelers. Up to this point we've done a number of projects ourselves. Take that however you will....contractors will likely assume we were a pain in the tush, while other first timers may see this as helpful. Bottom line....our job came out well. The road to get there was tenuous and slightly frustrating. - Charles is a nice guy. He seems to have certain materials/items that he prefers to work with, that he's worked with in the past so you'll need to speak up if you want something other than what he'll automatically steer you toward. Definitely use his cabinet guy, in Hubbard, as they do a great job! - He uses the flat fee method.... He allots you a certain amount for materials...i.e. $300 for your sink, $250 for your cabinet hardware, etc. In all likelihood we were under on some of those items yet we still paid the 'quoted/estimated' price. Yet when we went over on the backsplash tile he charged the extra. I don't particularly care for this method but it is what it is. - He doesn't provide a rendering of the project so you need to be able to picture it in your head or work with a designer who will provide that hard copy visual source for you. - Unfortunately, and I'm truly sorry for him for this, he had some personal issues arise at the start of our project. We tried to be patient and understanding, and I think he would agree with that. Those problems resulted in him hardly ever being on site. He has a friend/employee who is a really nice guy who works with him. After my spending a year looking at reviews, licensures and trying to find a contractor who does the work himself, it was frustrating that the friend (who we later learned has an engineering degree but isn't a licensed contractor) did a good portion of the work Charles told us he would do. Mixed feelings there for a number of reasons, including that we were messing with the main structure/support point for our home. We were repeatedly told that Charles would be doing all of this work, when in fact he didn't. Again...personal problems that took him away. - Before signing anything, be sure to have a discussion about permits....and be sure to get them. - After our house was torn apart and we were living in a bedroom, the problems hit and discussions were had that shouldn't have been...... Excuses given for why we should pay sooner than originally planned, etc....that kind of stuff...which made me more cautious than I should had to have been. Nothing illegal...just stressed me out and left me wondering if the job would get done. He was clearly stressed and under a lot of pressure in his personal life....again, an unfortunate situation. - As I said, the end result is very good thanks to the great cabinetmaker, electrician and plumber. Drywall and tile both had to have repair work done before we would sign off. The small amount Charles did was done well. - His payment schedule was in 1/4s...1/4 down, 1/4 at material selection, 1/4 at start, and 1/4 upon completion. A bit scary...but we did it. When the job was almost complete...we still needed the bar installed and the final inspection done...he asked for his final payment. We refused so he informed us that we could write a check now or pay more. (**He told us at the beginning that permits were up to us but that we didn't need one as he was just widening an opening....not removing a wall. After the job was started, and I did more research, my husband and I decided we wanted permits. Evidently, due to adding permits, the electrical/plumbing had gone over his original quote so we would now be charged for those overages if we weren't willing to write a check that day. We opted to pay the extra. I have no problem paying what we owe....the work was done so we owed the money...besides the fact that I wasn't willing to pay before the job was complete.) The MINUTE the final inspection came back okay I transferred the money to his account. Done. To ask for payment before completion is absurd...especially as it was spelled out, "Balance due upon completion", on his contract. - When we signed on, Charles listened to what we wanted and did a good job of putting it into action. I believe he knows what he's doing and does it well. I think he's good at envisioning things and knows what the end goal will be. It would be great if he would give more updates and information to keep the homeowner informed....especially important for newbies. Our experience, unfortunately, didn't go as smoothly as it could/should have and I didn't appreciate the work being done by someone else after we'd been told that Charles would be doing the work himself. I especially didn't appreciate the payment chaos at the end. Prior to that day we had paid EVERY PAYMENT WHEN ASKED. Had he not had the personal situation then things would likely have gone better. As I said, I believe he knows what he's doing and can carry the plan to fruition."

"I needed to have a new faucet installed in the kitchen since mine was leaking for some time and also needed to have the drain under the sink replaced since I have a double sink and the water backed up when running garbage disposal David came a little earlier than scheduled which I was happy about he went right to work installing new faucet and a new pipe under the sink finished under an hour. He was very courteous and professional. I would definitely use All County again and recommend them .

"First visit: Ryan came to see what work would be needed. Gave recommendation for water heater as well as 'booster' to provide more hot water. Did not go into crawl space under house to investigate bathtub plumbing needs. Explained steps we needed to take to prepare bathroom and floor for installation. (Total visit: almost an hour.) Second visit: Ryan performed jobs 2 and 3 easily and efficiently. Replaced earthquake straps on water heater; they had not been installed properly 10 years ago. Finally entered crawl space and realized he would need a second person to do plumbing bathtub hookup from below and above floor at same time. Arranged for a 3rd visit with an apprentice a week later. Third visit: Ryan and helper cut waste line and installed branch line to new tub location, plus install new water supply lines for tub as well as hook up tub to new branch line. Worked efficiently and thoroughly. [NOT MP Plumbing's fault: hose bib had hidden damage which began leaking a few days later; Seth called and explained function and design of hose bib, but when he was informed that it was still dripping at end of explanation, he immediately said something was wrong and he'd be by in 20 minutes. Arrived quickly (forth visit), removed part and discovered mis-manufactured part. Replaced immediately, and made note that it was too soon to have been our fault so there would be no charge for the part or the visit.] Ryan, Seth and apprentice were all very friendly; they took the time to make sure we understood what they would be doing (and in some instances why). They worked well and efficiently and were very careful and considerate of our space. Easy to talk to and we never felt they were talking down to us; when they used in-house 'lingo', they made sure we knew what was meant. Overall a very pleasant experience. While we had been told on the phone when we made the initial appointment that the first visit was a chargeable service call, Ryan discounted that first visit as he had not discovered the need for a second person and thus he had to come for the third visit with the apprentice. We felt that we were treated exceedingly fairly in those circumstances. Total cost includes water heater, booster and plumbing fittings."

"J&M is the "go-to" for this type of work. They were very professional from start to finish. They were very knowledgable about the best practices for installing a gas line into the kitchen. They provided an accurate estimate for the length of pipe they would need to use to bring gas to the deck since they charge by the foot. They even installed a larger diameter pipe to the deck in case we ever want to install other gas appliances in the future. My only complaint is the cost, but you get what you pay for and when it comes to something like dealing with gas lines it seems important to go with a reputable company.

"well... the work was done by Ecowater Northwest who is no longer. Reason for the review is that when I stopped hearing from Ecowater Northwest, I found out they were bought out by Culligan. Which is confusing because if you google Ecowater Northwest, you get Wolfer's Heating whose website claims they now own EcoWater Northwest. It seems Culligan got all the old customer files from Ecowater Northwest and Wolfer's got the rights to carry the Ecowater brand going forward. So I called Culligan last year and they found my file from Ecowater Northwest and they said they could support me for replacement filters for the systems that EcoWater Northwest had installed in my home. Great. For a while.
Fast forward to today.. I haven't heard from Culligan since July of this year. The way Ecowater Northwest operated, they would send notices to their customers when it was time to replace filters. I have 4 different filters in my systems and sure hope Culligan is tracking it. The Ecowater RO filters are proprietary and not allowed for sale on the internet - so you are locked in to a Ecowater dealer. Who is it.. Culligan? or Wolfer's? Who's going to continue the maintenance agreement of notifying legacy Ecowater Northwest customers that it's time to replace filters?

"It was terrific. They were very professional, courteous and efficient. We had a small water flow problem after installation and John (owner) came out at once to fix the problem. I recommend without reservation for any size job.

"A car crashed into my mailbox on Sunday night. It broke a 4" square post in half and ripped the rest of the post out of the ground. On Monday afternoon, I called Walt. By noon on Tuesday, I had a new mailbox installed. My mailbox post is in a 5 ft deep ditch. So he and his wife, Tammy, had to get down there to dig a new hole for the post. They said they would arrive at 11 am, which they did. They had the job done before noon. I asked about some other work I would like done, got an estimate, liked it, and decided to use them again."

"We had three very competitive bids including Classic Pro. We were impressed with the details that were covered in the bid, so that many of our concerns were addressed up front. Then Dave Friesen was conscientious about following up and answering the questions we had, e.g., how much attention would be paid to prep, paint quality (we ended up using Benjamin Moore, which Dave felt was the best), timing, care about landscaping, etc. We were so confident in Dave that we picked the main color and asked him to choose the trim and detail--he made wonderful suggestions that we approved. People stop by all of the time and ask us about colors and contractor. Everything worked as Dave promised, and since we weren't able to have a new garage door installed during the week he painted, he came back later on a weekend to complete the job. It's great to do business with a company president like Dave. It's too bad he's not running the country."
