What customers said about faucet installation
PDX PlumberI am so grateful for the team at PDX Plumber! They seamlessly got me scheduled and had a tech out the same day to fix my problem! We had a leaky faucet, and the knowledgeable plumber also suggested a water filtration system for my kitchen sink! I love it! They provide the best service and guarentee their work!
Cornel's Plumbing, Heating & Air …Alex was pleasant to work with. All the areas he worked in were left spotless. Very pleased with the work that was done.
Service Plus PlumbingI killed my garbage disposal and Service Plus came to the rescue and was able to install a new disposal plus a new kitchen faucet as well. Their same day service was amazing!

Cornel's Plumbing, Heating & Air …Juan gave me excellent advice about my Plumbing and especially about my water pressure. He communicated clearly and always had my best interest in mind in making recommendations.
