Plumbing Pipe Installation or Replacement
We are very happy with the amount and quality of work Scott was able to do in one weekend for us! He was very responsive and provided a very detailed quote the next day and answered all questions and concerns we had before starting. We had a long list of plumbing issues that needed addressing and he was able to handle all of them no problem! Would definitely hire him again for future projects and have already recommended him to a friend.

Went with another plumber and Scott replied with scathing email telling me good luck and to “have a good life” trusting my plumbing needs to another plumber . Very rude: Scott Whitaker To: Brandon Judge May 13 at 8:53 AM Of course I did your an idiot that doesn't understand plumbing talking to someone with 32 years experience in the industry that knows it backwards forwards sideways up-and-down and is an expert in his field and you think you know more than I do bite me like I said have a good day On Mon, May 13, 2019, 8:52 AM Brandon Judge wrote: You're reading the tables wrong . I've been a plumber for 32 years I can tell you exactly what the pressure reading your basing your son. And you're looking at it incorrectly. But that's fine Brandon if you don't want somebody that knows what the heck they're doing taking care of your house to go ahead with someone else have a good life On Mon, May 13, 2019, 6:25 AM Brandon Judge

Plumbing Pipe Repair
Scott was great - very knowledgeable, easy to understand explanation of the problem once he completed diagnosing. Kept me updated on how things were progressing - did the repair quickly and successfully and no mess left behind either! Highly recommend - he is truly a pro

Scott did the whole job by himself in 3 days total. I had my whole house re-piped, along with installation of new water heater, toilet, shower surround, and washer/dryer/fridge hookups. He has been doing this for years, which reflects in his work and his explanations. He was respectful, trustworthy, and explained each step along the way if I had questions. Definitely hire him for your next job if you want it done right!

We hired Scott after many failed attempts to hire out several other local plumbers. I came in with my expectations and bar set low. Scott is awesome- and not because I had my bar low! He has been punctual, professional, kind, thorough and the most important of all of them- honest. I would hire him again and would happily refer him to my neighbors and friends. He is great. Highly recommend!

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?I do not charge an hourly rate. I take a look at the job, sometimes with and sometimes without a basic evaluation fee, and develop a bid which combines difficulty and type of job. If I charged an evaluation fee, that fee applies to the work to be performed. I do not offer discounts.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?I educate the customer to the best of my ability about what he or she is facing before and during the bidding process. I keep them involved and attempt to bring what needs done into the arena of what they would prefer to have done. I offer premium customer service.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?Grew up learning concrete and carpentry construction from my father. Owned my own general contracting and building company, as well, at a later time, my own plumbing company, in another state. I am a licensed journeyman plumber here in Washington, and a licensed Master plumber in two other states under two different plumbing code requirements. I have been working in the plumbing field, almost exclusively for nearly 30 years.
