Description of Work: My refrigerator's water line didn't have a turn-off, and when the 'fridge died, we had to turn the water off to the kitchen sink, etc, in order to remove and replace the refrigerator. We needed this fixed. Allan came -- neat, tidy and on time-- and got our water line up to code. He was prompt and we're very happy with the work. (I wasn't here when the work was done-- just my husband, so I don't have anymore information.)

Overall I was very pleased with Bruner Plumbing. I feel his plumber was a little too talkative and could have completed his work in less than 3 hrs. The work was ''A'' quality, on time, and would definitely use them again. The owner, Ward Bruner was very helpful in sending me to a plumbing supply store to select my shower fixture and let me charge it to his account.
Description of Work: Install new shower drain (Easy Test Drain) and install new shower value. Change & adjust PRV to 75 psi. 1 Plumber for 3 hrs. @ 94.50 = 283.50 Purchase Delta Shower head/value @ 130.00. Misc. parts = $ 46.48

Allan was here for about 3-1/2 hours replacing faucets and a valve. He did a good job in that nothing leaked when he was done. Bruner's labor rates are a little high compared to the competition, but they are reliable and went out of their way to get a plumber here on short notice.
Description of Work: Changed out 3 owner-supplied bathroom faucets, repaired refrigerator icemaker valve.

They were on time, polite, friendly and cleaned up after themselves, including hauling away all the old pipe and the water heater. I thought the price for doing both things was reasonable. The city inspector commented on the tankless heater. He said it was good quality. They put a lot of guys on the job, so we never had a day without water. It took one day for the pipes and one for the tank. They came in at their estimate.
Description of Work: We needed all the incoming water pipes replaced on our 90 year old house. We also wanted to get a tankless water heater.

When I called to order parts I found out the faucet company had closed and my part was not available. So there will be more to this story. Allan gave me some suggestions if we wanted to replace the faucet (what brands had less maintenance). Allan also noticed a few things about the faucet like the diverter for the sprayer was not working well and the installation in the granite wasn't tight enough (the sub-layer of wood should have been cut away)- he said we could correct this on the new faucet installation.
Description of Work: I had a leaky kitchen faucet. Allan called me 2 days later & said he would be by that day. He arrived & installed a new o-ring; however, the leak continued. He said I needed to order a new gooseneck, as it must be bent & won't seal (I could concur with this as my son frequently hangs from it). He looked at the paperwork I had for the faucet & told me what to order. He said he would try to ensure I wasn't charged for the full hour ($125), which he did.

drain cleaning

The plumber (Alan) was prompt and courteous. I was pleased that he also told me what kind of stopper I could get to replace the missing mechanism, and that I could probably do the job myself (I haven't actually tried this yet). He completed the work in under an hour and didn't leave a mess behind.
Description of Work: I had a plugged tub drain, which I thought was something more. The stopper mechanism in this tub has never worked, and I thought I had inadvertently pushed it into the ''stopper'' position while trying to clear the drain myself with a wire. The plumber found it to be a normal clog, cleared it mechanically, and let me know that the stopper mechanism was completely gone (not just disconnected from the lever).

Allen was very courteous and called me to let me know he was running a little late. I am sure that messing with a ''sewage'' pump was not his ideal way to spend an evening, but Allen was very nice and professional and did not once complain about what a disgusting job this was. Despite the filthy nature of the job, Allen was very clean and took his time to make sure the job was done right. He also had a lot of good suggestions as to how to avoid such problems in the future. I would definitely use Allen again. As far as the price of the job, the amount I listed in this review is a guess since I have not received their bill for the services rendered.
Description of Work: I had a problem with a sewage ejection pump in the basement. Allen came out and spent 2.5 hours flushing the tank and making sure that the pump was functioning properly before sealing it all back up again.

Since we had to turn off all the water to the house as a result of the leak, we were very grateful that the plumber arrived 45 minutes after we called. Tim worked quickly and professionally and explained what he was doing. As a nice bonus, he had a sense of humor, which came in handy when a second leak was discovered after we thought the job was finished. If we need plumbing work in the future, we will call this company first.
Description of Work: Plumbers replaced cracked pipes connecting city water meter to house water line. Removed tree root that had caused pipes to crack.

This event occurred on a Saturday and since I was unable to find a plumber on the weekend, I was unable to use running water. Monday morning I called Bruner Plumbing which is fairly close to me and recommended on the Angie's list. The owner of the shop listened to my tale of woe and immediately dispatched two men to solve the problem. They had to take a portion of my deck apart and dig about 3 feet down to find the break. Portland was just getting over an ice storm so the boys had to work in cold rainy weather. They did an excellent job. They took a small part of the deck apart in order to dig, and then replaced it with new screws. Very professional friendly service. My money was well spent. I would recommend them highly.
Description of Work: My sewer pipe broke underground just outside my foundation wall. The refuse water found its way down to the bottom of the foundation and came back in to my crawl space.

Plumber was there on time, assessed the problem quickly, had the proper tool to fit in a new connection. Total time was probably less than an hour. Price might have been a little high, but was able to come on short notice, day after Thanksgiving.
Description of Work: Was able to repair a leak on the drain pipe from the kitchen sink, where it was glued at the T-joint of the drain pipe behind the sheet rock.

COURTEOUS, COMPETENT AND EFFICIENT THIS INDIVIDUAL PERFORMED HIS WORK IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER AFTER WORKING WITH THE CLIENT IN DETERMINING THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TO CORRECT HOT WATER FLOW. CONSIDERING THE EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH PLUMBING CONTRACTORS I WAS MORE THAN PLEASED WITH THE VALUE RECEIVED FROM THE REPRESENTATIVES SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE. THIS GENTLEMAN IS A PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: THIS WORK REQUIRED SOME FAIRLY EXTENSIVE ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR LOW FLOWS OF HOT WATER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RESIDENCE. AFTER CONSIDERABLE EVALUATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SEVERAL HOT WATER LINES ADJACENT TO AND FROM THE HOT WATER HEATER WERE PLUGGED WITH SLUDGE FROM YEARS OF USE. AFTER MAKING THIS DETERMINATION THE PLUMBER SUPPORTED BY THE COMPLETE AGREEMENT OF THE OWNER REPLACED FOUR SEPARATE WATER LINES IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE HOT WATER HEATER. UPON COMPLETION, HOT WATER FLOW RETURNED TO NORMAL IN ALL LINES CORRECTED.
