Linn Benton Plumbing

I experienced the same extortionist pricing as several others. The bid price to snake our drain (with no cleanout) was $749. The service person was very nice and respectful. But when I asked him how much time it would take to snake the drain he first said, ""It depends."" When I pressed him, he said, ""About an hour."" Really?!?!!? $750/hour to snake a drain?!?!?! I said ""No, thank you,"" and paid the flat visit fee of $99. But then he wanted me to sign some electronic document that said they had done good work and I was satisfied. What work? How could I sign something that was totally false? They had done no work. I refused to sign. Like others, I strongly recommend that you stay away from this business.

Linn Benton plumbing company is a nightmare. $750 for a five minute snaking of a kitchen drain. But first there was unbelievably manipulative and aggressive sales tactics, demanding I choose between three paths of action before I had any info to base it on. They seemed to think having their extortionist estimates on an iPad made them legit, or maybe their ridiculous branded shirts. Whatever, they are just crooks. Avoid like the plague.

daughter had two shut off valves replaced under her bathroom sink and two new water lines. installed a new faucet that she already had. Cost, 873.80. parts at Lowe's, $36.00. if you have money to throw away be sure to hire Linn Benton plumbing.

Took advantage of a 90+ year old lady with a bill over 3x's industry standard. Pathetic customer service, and response to the bill. Gave a supposed 10% discount for customer satisfaction, so don't believe the positive responses, they are bought.

$20 dollars worth of parts and an hour of work for $950, that is close to criminal. I wish I lived closer to my mom so I could make sure she doesn't have to deal with people like this. Fix the problem and charge what other plumbers charge.

They also tried to sell her completely unneeded services for even more. It would be nice if we could count on people to just do the right thing for a decent price.

This 2 star rating is purely because their work done was way overpriced and double of what it should have been. One leaking pipe in wall cost a little over $1500 to repair. Unfortunately I was out of town and could not fix it myself. They were able to get out there and fix the pipe right in less than 3 hours counting some sheet rock removal.

I fixed the pipe next to it when back in a couple hours for less than $100 in parts.

Realistically the job they did should have cost $350-500, even with quick response and good work, I could see it costing 500-$800 max in todays devalued dollar.

They also quoted me $16,000 to repipe the house 1700 square feet house, 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 story. This is also at least double what it should cost, and I got another estimate from another plumber for $5000. So I will be using them instead.

In short Linn Benton Plumbing is way over priced. But they do decent work, and plumber that came out was nice to my spouse. I just wish they would not price gouge.

Also, they mailed me a $25 gift card after the work. My guess, to butter me up in hopes of a good review. Don't be fooled, save your money.

I simply needed 3 outside hose bibs installed, hour and a half work time. charged me over 2600$, that's right over 955$ dollors an hour. Don't use these crooks they will rob you blind.

While the staff is very kind, I have to update this review, as their estimate was $2k more than a competitor for the same work. So glad I got a second estimate, even though it means I forfeited their $99 diagnosis fee. The other spot came out and gave a diagnosis for free.

We contacted Linn Benton plumbing for a quote on a installation in our newly purchased house last year. Our experience was great on the original estimate but we decided to not go through with the first install. We Contacted them again a few months back to have them come out for a main shut off valve replacement. Had a company source the leak, then contacted Linn Benton for the repair. They gave me the quote of 1650$ and let me know that it could be possible that due to where the leak was located(inside the meter box at the sidewalk) that concrete on the sidewalk would possibly be needing to be cut out. I agreed to the repair thinking it was going to be a lengthy job. The 2 guys who did the work were very professional and I have nothing against the work done. The concrete wasn't cut out, and the repair only took them around 2 1/2 hours to complete. (1 guy was gone about half the time picking up parts) I paid them and the next day called them for a breakdown of the work as I felt 1650$ for a little over 2 hours worth of work and maybe 100$ in parts was excessive. they told me I would receive a call from the office manager to further explain the breakdown. I received a generic email the next day saying they are ""flat rate"" and charge by the job. I work in the automotive industry and also work on a flat rate system. If I quote higher on a job due to unforeseen issues and everything goes smooth, the customer would receive money back due to it going smoothly. A week later I received a thank you letter in the mail with a 25$ gift card to Lowes which I felt was a slap in the face after this was all said and done. at the end of the day, the work performed was good, the guys who did the work were professional, but the pricing to me was price gouging. just my 2 cents. sadly I won't be using Linn Benton plumbing in the future. would give 2.5 out 5 stars due to how things went and the pricing.

I had to replace my old kitchen faucet with a New kitchen Faucet which I bought it from Home Depot. I called them and they sent a plumber (Danny) to my home. He came and replace the kitchen faucet in no less than 25 minutes and charged me 608$.

After he left I did some investigations to find out how much other companies would charge to replace a customer provided kitchen faucet. Home Depot would charge around 135$. Roto Rooter in Albany told me that they would charge 199$. I called Even Flow plumbing in Corvallis and their estimate was 300$.

1)Before you call this company please call 03 other companies and get estimates
2) Also they would charge 100$ just to come to your house to give an estimate. They are not willing to give a ball park figure for a job. This is how they will trap you to get your job and rip off your hard earn money
3) They don't charge hourly for the job, and they give you a flat fee price. Don't get caught to this trap because that's how you are gonna loose your hard earn money.

I would not recommend this company. They gave me a bid that was $3000.00 more than another very reputable plumber.
