This is the best plumbing service. They are knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and efficient. My octogenarian father and I really appreciate their communication skills, too.

I spoke to Don and he was very helpful, in fact he saved me a bunch of money by explaining how my plumbing valves worked and suggesting a quick adjustment rather than an entire repair. I truly appreciate it when a professional is able to teach me something rather than just charge me more money. Definitely trustworthy and knowledgeable.

I love this company. Most recently Tim helped us through a complicated kitchen plumbing remodel and he was so helpful, knowledgeable, flexible and efficient. It was great! I will be their plumbing customer for life!

I had a plumbing problem that had me stumped. I called first thing in the morning and was told they could be by my house the same day. Tim called to let me know he was on his way. He showed up on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he quickly fix our utility sink drain issue, but he took a look at our new half bath sink install and fixed that drain as well. Not only did Tim do the work quickly, but it looks great. On top of all that, the price is unbeatable. I couldn't recommend these guys more, and they'll be my first call for any plumbing jobs in the future.

Friendly, professional, and efficient. Called this father and son team to get a last minute fix so I could sell my house. They showed up on time and fixed the plumbing issue in minutes. I will definitely be using these guys in the future

Great service, fast and friendly! We had a clogged bathroom sink. My call was returned within the hour, and service was scheduled for the next day. They resolved the issue, answered several other questions, and left the bathroom cleaner than when they arrived. Will call them in the future, no question.

Standard Plumbing goes above and beyond what the job looks like, to actually get it done right. I recently hired them to do what I thought was a simple repair/replace problem, but the original part had been installed wrong, and then corroded, so the job was much more complicated than it appeared. Standard Plumbing was prompt and very fair with the cost of the project. I have also used them in the past for other plumbing needs, and have always had courteous, prompt service.

I'm an out of state landlord and I called Standard Plumbing to replace a kitchen sink in my rental unit. Don was awesome. Collected the information I could provide and contacted the tenants for the additional information he needed to provide an estimate. From there, he took care of everything and sent pictures when the work was completed. Great quality, quick service and very reasonably priced. When I need plumbing service, I will gladly call him again. Highly recommended.

I have had the good fortune to have Don and Tim work on a number of my plumbing projects and have always been amazed at their honesty, integrity, patience, and helpfulness. They are not only well versed in their trade, but they offer much advice and offer options for you to consider so that you can make a well informed decision as to the final outcome of your project. As a homeowner and former contractor, I can say with great confidence that you will have nothing but an exceptional experience with this company - they are the best and I am thankful to know that whenever I call them the job will be done right, at a very reasonable price.

I am new to the Portland area and recently purchased a home. I had a plumbing project that I wanted to get done very quickly upon moving in. Don came out on the same day that I called him and gave me a very fair estimate and was incredibly easy to work with. They showed up a day later and got everything done faster than expected and right on budget. These guys are fantastic, Ive already recommended them to a friend and will happily continue to do so. Don definitely made me feel welcomed to the area.
