Copper Repipe
Report
For decades copper has been the preferred material for plumbing systems; however, copper quality varies dramatically. We only use American-made copper pipes as they are, by far, the highest in quality and are manufactured to a precise, uniform standard. We are able to offer a lifetime guarantee because we use materials that are built to last.
Pex Repipe
Report
PEX is a durable, versatile, high-density plastic which is quickly becoming America's favorite repipe material. PEX repipes require fewer fittings and less labor to install than rigid metal pipes. Because we use the highest quality PEX on the market, our PEX pipes will not corrode, scale, freeze or develop pinhole leaks.

Heard a ad on the radio saying they can get it done in one day and usually for HALF the cost of a regular plumber. That makes zero sense as they dont do the work they just contract it out to actual plumbers. Secondly I was quoted an outrageous price of over $10,000 to repipe a three bed, two bath home. I reached out to an actual plumber and got a quote for $4,500. Just because its on your favorite radio show does not mean its a good deal. You are basically paying twice for a single job.

"Half the cost of a plumber" not even close. Marketing campaigns, professional sales staff, etc all come at a cost. In reality, Repipe Specialists was just about TWICE as much as the other bids I got from local plumbers. Ended up with a local guy who was almost $4000 cheaper. and guess what. The work was just fine. Got it done in a day. Repipe Specialists may be able to do the work well and everything will be fine. but just know that with 100% certainty you will be paying THOUSANDS more for it.

It was like dealing with a used car salesman. Bid was high, but if you barter, theyll drop the price. Then some shabby sub-contractor comes out to actually do the work. The supervisor knows what he's doing, but he's on 3 jobs, so he's not there full time, and the guys that actually do the work - all they want to do is go home. Repipe Specialist is simply a middle man, taking a cut of your hard earned money.

Had our house repiped, they did a great job. All the pex pipe under house and in garage is insulted. This was done in one day, the patching comes after inspection. The city inspector stated he see alot of their work and it is always top notch.

Estimator came to our house because we had a leak. He did not look around and suggested fixing it or just replacing our galvanized pipes. I figured might as well because we need it anyway. After they were down I found that the pipe was not fixed. I was told it was a drainage issue and not a water in problem. I was frustrated because I showed the estimator the leak and urged that's what needed to be fixed.

Of course they did not take responsibility. Too add more hey broke my water heater, they did not take responsibility for that either. It's a company that takes advantage of homeowners.

We wanted all our galvanized pipe replaced with PEX pipe. We were given a very reasonable quote and told them to go ahead and do the job. I was told it would take a day to complete. These guys came on time laid out cover to protect our carpet, wore masks and proceeded to install the PEX pipe. I was a little hesitant believing they could finish the project in one day but they did.

My wife and I were amazed how fast they worked. They also kept us updated with the work. They were very professional throughout the entire time. So Thankyou Repipe Specialists team Rich and Arlene Pena

We received an initial quote several years ago, but decided not to go forward at the time as it was expensive and we did not have any issues with our plumbing. After hearing from more and more of our neighbors in our HOA who had problems with their CPVC piping, we decided to go ahead and get the repiping done now rather than wait until there was an actual problem.

The price went up. A lot. For both the repipe and the drywall work. "COVID" and "Supply Chain" seemed to be the main reasons cited. We decided to use Repipe Specialists for just the repipe and went with another drywall provider recommended by both our painter and a friend who flips houses for a living. Their estimate was about 1/3 of what Repipe's was for the drywall and they did a great job (so shop around for the drywall work.) As for the repipe itself, the work was done by True Blue Plumbing.

They had a crew of about 6 or 7 show up at 7AM and were done by about 1:30. For our 2,500 sq ft house w/ 2 1/2 baths, they cut about 21 holes in the wall. They did not have to open the ceiling, which was nice. They also replaced the PRV for about $250 - which is about the cost of the part since they had to remove the old one anyway. Jayson, the True Blue lead, was friendly and informative.

He also came back out to fix a minor issue they caused during the installing (and didn't argue about it, which was a pleasant experience.) Their work passed inspection and I haven't found any issues (it has been about 6 months). I don't know if they are the cheapest or not - in talking with our plumber it sounds like they didn't do all of the things he does (like doing the line from the meter to the house), but they got the work done quickly and with as little disruption as possible.

I did contract with the sales team to full house repipe. Originally they promised one date but there was an opening before and got rescheduled to repipe earlier, which was very good as my old pipes where breaking apart. The subcontracted team was on time to the minute, they arrived and did the full repipe in just one day. With attention to detail.

I did not contract the wall-repair thought. So they leaved the drywall pieces screwed near the respective wall opening, I'm still on process to completely fix, but that was my choice.

They were great. I got bids from both them and plumbers and the total cost for me would have been about the same. Repipe Specialists did not have to ruin either of my shower surrounds which would have added to the cost if I had gone with a plumber. They came recommended by a family member not to mention they take care of everything from the re-pipe itself to patching the walls after.

I was impressed with the estimator who gave me a thorough explanation of the process and what would be involved, the plumbing company and the drywaller were on time and courteous, professional and kept me informed of progress along the way.

100% bad experience. 1st off they subcontract the job and they ghost immediately after payment is taken. Kevin pretended to care and like he would be involved threw the process is and full of it. Second off they wait to start scheduling till you 3 day cancel period is up. So now you are obligated by contract. They water was brought threw the kitchen floor and cabinets, the new cabinets company didn't wanna ruin 15k cabinets for water pipes so I Had to pay a additional $280 to get the pipes put in the wall which means they could have put them there to start with.

Then they scheduled the repipe 6 weeks before they could come do drywall repair. I had holes in my house from floor to ceiling for 6 weeks holding up my remodel. I could have had the drywall repair done for 1200 less and faster but was un able to cancel. Your walls will not be repaired back to original and when you ask about it the dry wall crew will laugh and tell you, they "can only do so good".

After multiple attempts to let them fix the job I gave up. But don't worry they still got that last payment collected. $15K spent on the job and Im having someone else come in to repair there work. If you wanna have a bad time go ahead and use this company it will be the experience you are looking for. I have a very very very obvious patch in my ceiling that is not matched and they have told me more then once they can only do so good, this repair is feet away from others that the dry wall guy admitted looked better. Attached are issues some were resolved and some were given the "we can only do so good" I never expected perfect there's other flaws I can hide and are not noticeable from 10feet away. Know what your getting into with these guys!

This review to be updated depending on how quickly Repipe corrects the problem. I had pipe work done on Monday 3-15, with a follow-up inspection completed to verified latency Tuesday 3/16. That same evening, I noticed continued leaking although very minimal coming from possibly the sump pump in which I was told was most likely old rain run off. Today, Wednesday 3/17, another inspector arrived about 4:30pm and informed me that everything looked okay.

Then 5:30pm, I walked outside and there was profuse leaking from from the water meter and draining out onto the street- the water meter was submerged! I could not even get to the shut off valve. I called Repipe, in which they asked "Can this wait until the next business day?" Hmm, considering Repipe took over a week to schedule me and I'm most likely facing an exorbitant water bill and adding on to the stress of all of this, I told them "ASAP is preferred". I am now waiting to hear back from anyone to address this issue.

They did a great job. Lots of communication and open with all info. Nice that the main line and the wall repairs were all included. Everything was done in one day (except the wall repair). Good guarantee and follow-up. Only drawback is some extra piping under bathroom sinks which cuts down on cabinet space.

These folks did everything they said they'd do. Worked quickly, protected our home, cleaned up after themselves. A note of caution: they advertise "the best warranty in the industry." The "lifetime warranty" they promise is valid ONLY if you contact the company within 30 days of completion and request a signed copy of the warranty. This helpful tidbit of information was buried in the middle of a sample warranty that came with all the other paperwork.

I failed to get that piece of paper, so apparently my warranty is worthless. I wouldn't have discovered this yet if the texture they'd put on the wallboard repair hadn't started cracking and flaking off after a year. The technicians did a great job, but the business practices of Repipe Specialists are a little shady, IMHO. Even if you get the signed copy of the warranty, I wouldn't be surprised to find them trying to wriggle out of honoring it.

I had house repiping work done through "Repipe Specialists of Oregon" - but they don't actually do the work, they contract out to local plumbers. If they assign you "Davis Plumbing" run away. Insist on getting a different contractor. Davis Plumbing did an "acceptable" job on the actual plumbing/pipe replacement - but everything else about their work was shoddy.

During this COVID-19 "lockdown, " the head of Repipe Oregon had an interview on local news talking about all the precautions their teams are taking. Davis Plumbing contracted through Repipe Specialists did none of them. (The interview is even posted on the national Repipe Specialists Facebook page.) Davis Plumbing had zero regard for my personal property in the basement. Didn't make any attempt to cover items in the basement, let water just flow all over and clean it up at the very end, saturating multiple rugs requiring double washing to clean them - rather than just picking them up ahead of time. Thankfully, the only things actually damaged were just cardboard boxes (not their contents, ) and a few rolls of toilet paper (although that is rather precious at the moment, ) and a toilet seat that they did replace - although the one they replaced it with was very low quality. Yes, they just stood on our toilet seat rather than use a step ladder, getting the toilet seat cover nasty requiring multiple washings through the washer just like the rugs, then breaking it.

And now, I find that the wall patch they did where the water main comes in is leaking like a sieve when it rains. I'm in Portland. It rains a lot. I've just used every towel in the house to soak up water coming in through the basement wall where they patched. This started on the Saturday after they did the repipe work; I couldn't get a hold of anyone at Davis Plumbing, I had to call Repipe Specialists to get them to lean on Davis to get someone out Monday (two days later.) Thankfully it didn't rain in between.

They came out Monday and redid the wall patch. Now it's Wednesday, and the first rain since then - and it's coming in even worse. Again, I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone at Davis - I had to call Repipe Specialists who are trying to get someone to fix it for me.

They have the sales process down. Everything was explained well and I had a good understanding of the scope of work that was going to be done and how it was going to be done. The final product is great and I am glad to be rid of the original 1956 pipes. The work process was a little bumpy as the City inspection found several areas of concern that had to be corrected to finalize the process.

I am not a plumber but the issues seemed simple enough that licensed plumbers should have known. The cleanup and follow-through were also lacking. They left a large bag of trash in my basement, left a lot of old pipe cut up and left in the walls/hanging out of the basement ceiling, and the grossest part was finding a bucket with feces in it hidden under the stairs in our basement. I think a lot of these issues would likely be solved through a better vetting of third-party plumbers that are used.

We in our home enjoy the upgrade to the piping in our house. We enjoyed the crew that did the upgrade and the drywall repair was excellent. The rating is attributed to the outrageous threat to turn my account over to a collection agency for not paying the "upon completion" fee. We received this threating phone call over one year. We are not aware that there was a 5% charge completion fee and they never get in touch with us, call us or send us a bill. We thought that everything was paid. After one year, we received a threatening call.

Have a 1958 house with a hodgepodge of Galvanized, Copper and Pex. Low water pressure in the kitchen and if you flush a toilet while someone is in the shower watch out! Knew I needed the house repiped and after 2 quotes from Plumbers I called Repipe Specialists. Super impressed with their sales rep. Honest. Straightshooter. The cost was half of what the prior 2 plumbers quoted.

Work was schedule out a month in advance. They showed up and did the whole house in one day. They scheduled the inspection the next day and Sheetrock crew 2 days after that. Super seamless process and while it's not sexy to spend money on new pipes we know the bones of the house are rock solid thanks to Repipe Specialists!

Replacing old pipes is a bummer but it needs to happen and these guys made it an absolutely simple and seamless process. I had an appointment for an estimate, then the next appointment for the complete repiping, and the third and final appointment with the man who repaired my drywall. Each appointment began on time, each individual I worked with was professional and knowledgeable, and their quote was lower than any of the others. The work was great, the results are great, and it's backed by a great warranty. Highly recommend this company!

We hired this outfit to repipe our house. They ran pex above our fuse box and made some other careless mistakes that cause us to fail our inspection 3 times. They claim they can increase pressure and eliminate scalding, however neither was accomplished for us. All of that said, they did what they said they'd do in terms of repairing the walls. Would I recommend? Well, I wouldn't use the, again. so, no.

Our experience with this company was very positive. They did an excellent job from start to finish! We knew what the price was going in and they finished in three days, as promised! We could tell the difference right away! We LOVE our new pipes and the service we received from Repipe Specialists.

Repipe Specialists did an awesome job. I was afraid that doing a repipe would turn my home into a huge construction zone but they impressed me. They were efficient, super nice and very professional. The holes they needed to cut where not the enormous mess I thought I would see, they cut as needed and cleaned up after themselves very well. I also had a couple faucets that were a little loose and, without, asking, they fixed those for us.

They answered all our questions regarding our estimate and the work; our end cost was a little below the original estimate and I have already recommended to several people! The gentleman that did our job was Justin and he was fantastic!

When the estimator came to our house, I was very impressed with 2 things mainly, Jon Holman's knowledge and explanations. He was not only friendly, but explained everything exactly as it was going to be done (and was done). The job was completed quickly and we had a bathroom available all during the job. I asked a lot of questions during the repipe and Justin (our installer) was very helpful and patient with us.

I tended to ask a lot of questions and watched as the project progressed. We never had to worry about any "bait and switch" deceptions. As far as I can see every single thing was completed according to our contract. And was done well. No additional charges! The people doing the job were very friendly. They all answered my questions, even though they were all busy and working hard.

About my decision. I asked for bids from several plumbers (Including Repipe Specialists) and learned much along the way. The highest bid wanted us to do much of the work and wanted to charge extra for an inspection and permit. Another plumber asked to use our toilet before he left, then left the toilet badly plugged up. One plumber drove by our house and sent us an estimate without even stopping to look inside the house.

The next plumber sub-contracted the job to another company, and the people from the subcontractor couldn't answer many of my questions - or even who the contractor was. The estimates on our house ranged from $5600 to $10,000. Repipe Specialists came in between the lowest and highest bids. Most of the plumbers were more interested in getting their money than giving us a detailed estimate.

Several gave written estimates that included their name, address, phone number and maybe a breakdown between the house re-piping and replacing the supply line to the house. I don't think they even specified the materials except they said that they would install PEX. With Repipe Specialists and Justin - there is no competition in Vancouver, WA.

The rest are laughable! We have already referred Repipe Specialists to our friends and neighbors. I am planning on making copies of the 20% off coupon with a more detailed story of my experience to give out to my neighbors. At least I can say I warned them. :-) Tom

I had a good experience with this company. The sales representative Jon was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and went over a thorough history of the company and their work. The actual crew that performed the work did a good job. I was under the impression during the estimate they had their own crew but they actually had a sub-contractor crew called Davis Plumbing.

The main reason they aren't getting 5 stars is there was a lack of communication between the folks at Repipe Specialists and Davis Plumbing. Jon let me know they were pretty swamped and my job wouldn't start until the second or third week of May. On May 2nd they were at my door at 8 am and no one called. I had taken the day off because I had ran a marathon the previous day and was just planning on sleeping as I was completely sore.

I was told the Office was supposed to call. When I called the office, they informed to me the crew was supposed to call. So apparently everyone was supposed to call me but no one called. It wasn't a big deal as I had the day off but I thought a head's up phone call would've been nice. I was told early on there would be some leeway in financing the job and the crew wanted me to pay everything in full.

They offer dry wall repair but I ended up going through a different company I've used before then the people they sub-contract with. They seemed rather expensive for dry wall repair and the company I used did it for half the cost. Jon let me know the dry wall I could use whomever I wanted but still gave me an estimate of their dry wall guy. Overall this is a good company and the help was knowledgeable and friendly. The main issue was the lapse in communication between the company

We had a very positive pleasant experience with repipe. The salesperson was very respectful and professional and did not pressure us. It was very clear what the cost would be. The workers were polite and worked great as a team. I would recommend RePipe. The house was left clean. The company followed up to insure I was satisfied with the work, and I am.

Repipe Specialists did a great job on my 1978 built house. The galvanized pipes were rusting on the inside and creating low water pressure and rusty colored water. I didn't have any leaks yet but I knew it wouldn't be long.

They did a wonderful job with our old house. I chose them because they said they would repair the walls. My house is so old, most of the walls are boards rather than sheet rock. To get access to the tub/shower area, they carefully removed two boards, did the repair and replaced the boards.

I can't remember being pleased enough with repairs done in my home that I actually took the time or trouble to write a letter saying 'thank you.' When you were here, you took the time to explain things well enough for me to get an idea of what was going to be done. Also, you arrived on time. Then everything occurred according to the schedule and plans we arrived at.
