Sarkinen Plumbing

They take advantage of people that doesn't know what they're doing. We called for someone to come look at our water heater to find the piece that needs to be replaced. We asked that they found the part before doing any service so we know how much it would cost and go from there.
He showed up took advantage of our father that doesn't speak well English. Did a basic service without asking us first while only our father was home then when finished told him he owes him $600. For a service he didn't have our permission to do. We then asked for the invoice of the part and service and he left before giving it to us.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

The work done (install a dishwasher) apparently is professionally and successfully completed. However, beware the on-site Sarkinen plumber who shifts the basic task of installing a dishwasher to one of mysterious complexity that moved the estimated cost from $300 to over $600. I don't know if I am more disappointed with my wife who agreed to this last-minute up-charge, or to the company for having a business model that works this way. They have been inflexible about an adjustment, tho' they applied a first customer discount which, while appreciated, did not take away the hurt of paying more for installation than product cost.
Would you ask Colonel Sanders to babysit your chickens? If so, then call Sarkinen.

Had a large leak start in my water heater late one night and shut off the flow of water to it until the next morning. Called Sarkinen and they sent out Manny, who quickly figured out the root cause and gave me a few options to fix. We picked one and Manny had it fixed fairly quickly, and also took a moment to address one other issue I had elsewhere (with the kitchen sink) since he was already here. Great folks, good prices, and quick work. Very happy customer. Have since used them for another service and remain a very happy customer.

Good plumbers are all booked for weeks. The reason they're available is because they're crooks. They charged my 80 year old mom $2200.00 for a standard water heater. I got involved and they quickly refunded $1500.

Easy to make an appointment and they come out for a ""free in person estimate"" but their pricing is sort of ridiculous. Had them out last week for a simple kitchen sink drain assembly replacement because our new garbage disposal didn't fit. Wish I would have just been told their prices were a flat rate because it was a waste of time. The tech looked under the sink and then showed me a binder with their prices ranging from over $500 for their ""Band Aid"" quick fix to over $1,600 for their ""Platinum"" work. We went with another company who completed the job in 30 minutes and charged us half the cost of their ""band-aid"" price.

I recently had a mold problem in our house caused by the prior owner puncturing 2-nails into our hot and cold water lines. After Sarkinen Plumbing replaced the 2-water lines, they then sent their master plumber, Seth and his assistant, Logan, to re-attach the carpet, add new baseboard, fix the drywall, texture the walls, and paint the walls. These 2-guys did such a fantastic job and they did all of this in time before my out of town visitors came for the Easter weekend! Sarkinen Plumbing is lucky to have employees like Seth and Logan! Because of employees like them, I would highly recommend Sarkinen Plumbing to anyone needing any type of plumbing work as well as repairing your walls that are damaged due to plumbing problems.

In addition, I have to highly commend Amber at Sarkinen Plumbing because after noticing that my bathroom tub had been accidentally partially damaged by one of their plumbers she recently sent Miracle Restoration to repair our tub. Sarkinen Plumbing took photos of the damage, got me an estimate in less than a week and agreed to split the cost to repair the damage. In just 2-days I have a tub that looks brand new! Again, I cannot say enough good things about Sarkinen Plumbing! They have proven to me that this company and all of their employees really go the extra mile to help their customers and to always to the right thing!

Everyone at Sarkinen Plumbing is conscientious, prompt, and really nice to deal with!

We had water with sludge coming up thru the floor drain in our basement laundry room (what a mess) and of course it was a Friday. After calling several plumbing companies all were booked up for a least a week. We found Sarkinen Plumbing available, 45 minutes later out came Robert, professional and polite. He found our problem and suggested a couple of options to try and remedy the situation. The next day right on schedule came Manny, professional and polite. He ran a high power pressure water hose that was not able to clear the pipe in question and recommended replacing a section of old pipe. Well the next day Manny was enthusiastically back with a concrete saw and went to work. It was fast and affordable. Sarkinen has hired excellent personnel in the field and office We highly recommend Sarkinen Plumbing Company. Thank you!

First, I was extremely happy that they were one of the only plumbers in the area to actually answer the phone immediately with a real live person who was extremely warm and friendly. They had Ryan come out to give me a bid on a project within a day. When I called back to schedule the work to be done, they were available to come out the very next day. They even were accommodating to our budget constraints. John and Mike came out and did our work (roughing in for a sink in a wet bar) in a little under 2 hours. They were quick, cleaned everything up, and patiently explained everything they were doing from start to finish. Mike and John even answered additional questions I had about plumbing and explained things very well. They left some extra parts for me to finish up part of the hook up which was unable to be completed because our cabinets weren't installed yet. I thought this was extremely accommodating considering they could just as easily said they must come back and do it themselves for an extra fee. If I decide to have them come back out, they gave me a discounted bid to complete the work. I would highly recommend Sarkinen to anyone in the Vancouver area.

I got a leak from the valve to the toilet. I was going to replace it myself, but after shutting off the main water and the leak didn't stop, I started calling around. After calling over 15 people, I got Sarkinen who was able to come in an hour. I was so afraid the leak was major. Mike was awesome. It was late on Friday before a long holiday, but he went to get parts twice and finally got the issues fixed. Thanks for hard working!
