Sarkinen Plumbing

We needed help with our flooded basement and inadequate drainage system. Ty came out on a Saturday morning on very short notice after our previous plumber flaked on us. He was available to start on or project right away. He was super helpful in giving my husband advice and help on the outdoor drainage project that we had decided to do ourselves. He was very professional and answered our many questions with patience. He installed a sump pump in our basement and cleaned up after himself thoroughly. The price matched the bid exactly. We were very impressed and will definitely call Ty again.

Hubby called these guys because when it's 40 degrees in the 'Tron (aka Beaverton) and your hot water is gone and it's after hours... well, you get the picture. On-call person arrived well before he said he would, was very pleasant, answered all of our questions, gave us a quick demo of what the problem was and fixed it for a nominal fee within a short period of time. Had hot water in no time at all. Worth the after hours service charge to not have to sit around and wait for another company to call you back or take time off of work to meet someone at the house the next day (or whenever they could fit you in). Would definitely call this service again! Great customer service!

Work completed effectively and on schedule. However, cost very high. Paid over $1500 to replace a valve/PRV in 3/4"" home water supply, including a labor rate of $150/manhour.

Our sprinkler system flooded our front yard in the middle of the night and we didn't know what to do. The emergency shut off valve was completely flooded and water was spraying out of all the sprinkler heads in the front yard even though the system was off. I called about 3 or 4 emergency 24/7 lines who did not answer the phone. So I was very grateful when Sarkinen picked up and said they could send someone out right away. Their on call employee arrived in about 10/15 minutes and was able to help us. He was very nice even though we woke him up at 2AM. I would use their services again.

We have used Ty 3 different times and every time we couldn't be happier. He is quick, responsive, and does a great job. Thanks for the great service you provide!

Did not stay the hours they claimed and over charged for materials. Would not quote an hourly wage for their work. Would not use them again.

They called me to ask if they could come a day earlier than scheduled. I said sure. The plumber called at 2 p.m. said can I come now I said I won't be home till 3 p.m. I rushed home and he never showed up. Around 430 another plumber called to find out if I needed someone to come. Basically worthless. I ended up calling someone else and scheduling for the following day!

Although the bid went smoothly, when the plumber showed up it was a different story. Bid doubled. He left, said he was getting supplies and never came back. He was very nice but the miscommunication about the job and office staff left me feeling uneasy. I cancelled the job and went with someone else

After calling around to find a plumber to do some significant remodel work, I finally landed on Sarkinen and was pleasantly surprised to talk to some cheerful people at their office. We scheduled a walkthrough for a Friday morning to discuss the scope of work and get a bid, and the plumber showed up within the 1-hour window I was given, which was great.

The walkthrough was okay, and despite being a little combative and argumentative over certain aspects of the job, he sounded like he knew what he was doing. I asked when I'd be able to see the bid, and he stated that he writes up bids on Sunday night, so I'd have it by that next Monday or Tuesday.

On Wednesday, having not heard anything, I called the office, spoke to another friendly voice on the phone, but was told they'd have to look into it. I got a call from the plumber the next day with a half-hearted apology, an excuse that they've been really busy, and a promise that he'd write up the bid over the weekend ""for sure"". I reinforced that we were waiting on this to move forward with other parts of the remodel, so time was of the essence.

That happened to be Memorial Day weekend, and I just got the bid on the Wednesday afternoon following. What's more, it didn't include one of the options we'd discussed.

Interestingly enough, in the meantime, I was able to schedule another plumber to come by. He arrived early, was nice to talk to, offered some great ideas and cost-saving alternatives, and delivered the bid (including all permit costs), within two hours of leaving the job site. I think I know who I'm hiring.

The best service one could hope for when you are suffering from a loss. Our kitchen and bathrooms were out of commission. The guys were there from morning to night digging, filling, landscaping, replacing pipes, taking photos for our adjusters. Everyone was professional and worked their tales off. There was no standing around, mindset to get it handled and get our customers back to their lives. I was beyond impressed with the whole aspect of this nightmare. . . From the office staff, plumbers, helpers, excavator, etc. I will recommend them to everyone and use them in the future for all my needs. If you had a 10 star rating, I'd have selected it. . .
