I found a real plumber (vs. an extortionist) through a friend.
Update:
The provider called me early this morning, "shocked and bewildered" by my review. They are extremely offended that I compared their scheduling to Comcast's because they are not personally familiar with the latter and cannot personally experience it. They are delighted to explain the logic behind their scheduling at length. Also, they were very upset about my presentation of their cost scheme. So, to clarify, it's about $82.00 to walk in the door, and $162.00 for each hour afterwards. They schedule in two-hour "increments" (like Comcast's slots), but they only charge you for the time the plumber has to be there, actually working. I'm sorry for the misrepresentation but it was the outcome of my honest misunderstanding, which they supported by helping me add up the costs of a visit to reach $400 over the phone yesterday. They aren't the best communicators I guess and even during the call this morning they were not able to clarify whether one must pay for the entire two hours until repeatedly asked directly.
I wish this small business well but feel personally annoyed by the poor communication and early-morning phone call, and all the bad energy that came across the line this morning. I felt attacked. I'm sure their actual work is very good."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/or/portland/pacific-crest-plumbing-reviews-2274344.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Rau Plumbing Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OR","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary T."},"reviewBody":"One of the plumbers sat on the back of the service truck and smoked while the other plumber did the majority of the work.

Tom recommended that he provide a heater from a plumbing supply house rather than a home improvement center because of better quality and I agreed. Tom arrived promptly on Monday morning with his son and installed the new heater in about 3 hours. He replaced some of the plumbing that was done poorly, and also rerouted a drain line through a wall to the outside of my house. He explained how and when to drain the heater to prevent sediment buildup. Tom's workmanship was clearly superior to the plumber's who installed the heater six years ago. This "affordable" provider also charged $300 more than Tom. I will call Tom for all future plumbing work and recommend him to anyone I know who needs a plumber.

I had a much better service experience at Lowe's but it came down to a significant price difference between the two companies. I woke to a broken hot water heater and instantly began doing online searches for replacement water heaters, pricing and installations. Home Depot touts same day installation if you call by noon. I called around 9:30am to several companies to ensure that they had the heaters in stock and could indeed deliver today. I called Home Depot 3 times because each time I was transferred to the water heater department no one picked up. In between I had gotten through to a competitor. They were extremely helpful in giving me pricing, calling to confirm delivery that day etc. However when they proactively called back to let me know when the entered all the info in their system the installation was over $100 more than they had quoted me. That is when I called Home Depot back a 3rd time. I reached a gentleman in the water heater department. I asked if they had heaters, he said yes they had them in stock. When I asked about delivery and cost he said, and quot;oh gee, um, I don't know, I really wouldn't have any ideaand quot; He said that if I logged into the website there was an 800 number I could call to find that information out. He couldn't even be bothered to give me the number. Being desperate, I looked up and called the 800 number. The installation group, Fast Water Heaters, I want to stress was great! They could not get the heater installed the same day, despite Home Depots claim of same day installation if ordered by noon (it was now 10:15am). But they were highly rated on Angie's list and even honored the Angie's List coupon on the order. They (Fast) set up an appt for the next day. The installer was about an hour late due to a company meeting, but called and kept me informed. He was courteous and friendly. He wasn't pushy with some upgrade offers and cleaned up his work afterwards. I highly recommend Fast for your plumbing and water heater needs, but Home Depot needs to work on their customer service!

2 Sons agreed to do plumbing repair, half via Saturn Barter (we are both members). I paid half up front. Work was less than expected. 2 Sons unwilling to bill half barter & refund me accordingly. Repeated efforts to discuss were to no avail.

"Oliver's Construction & Remodeling did an absolutely fantastic job on my home and fence. First they gave me a beautiful fence that, I'm sure be there long after I'm gone! They put wheels on the two large doors so that it will be so much easier to open. And I didn't even ask for that. Oliver is always doing things that make things so much nicer and more beautiful. He pointed out several things that I knew were damaged but had no idea that he would be able to fix. Like five rows of paneling on the side of the house that were damaged, like two boards that were rotten, and like the area between panels that were getting water in and under them. He fixed all of it and it looks so good now. It's like I have a brand new home. I was so surprised that he could do all of that for the price he quoted me. It amazes me that there are people still around that want to do such a great job just because it is the right thing to do. Oliver is one of those people. I am so lucky that I was able to connect with him. I will hire him anytime I have a project to do. I know it will be done right and I will be very, very happy"

FAQs for plumbing handyman service projects in Newport, OR
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
