My 3-star rating is related to the work that was actually done to unstop my kitchen sink. I had…read morehired Molalla Plumbing 3 years ago to perform the same work and the guy that came out was amazing. He not only cleared the drain but he cleaned up after himself and left my home in perfect condition. So this time, when the drain once again quit draining, I called Molalla Plumbing. They were able to come out the next afternoon and a different guy than last time came out to do the un-stopping of the drain. The problems started when the snake he was using made a turn and instead of continuing down the main drain line from the kitchen, went up the drain line into the bathroom where it knocked off the bathroom sink drain pipe and spewed nasty stinky almost-black "stuff" in the area under the sink (by the way, it's never a good thing when you hear the person doing the work say "uh oh"). I had been sitting in the living room and I heard him ask if I had any towels that he could use and of course I pulled out a couple of towels for him to sop up the mess on the floor (he had also turned on the water at the sink faucet before he realized that the drain line had come apart so there was also fresh water pouring into the space under the sink.) He had removed the items under the sink (fabric softener, clothes soap, cleanser, etc.) to put the pipe back together and then he put all the things back under the sink and closed the cabinet doors. I paid the bill (which turned out to have a bigger surcharge for using my debit card than he told me it would be) and as the guy was leaving, I asked him if there was anything I needed to do about the bathroom and he said "no." After he left, I decided to check under the sink and found that nothing had been cleaned and that the mat under the items was soaked with the wet stinky gross mess. He had just put everything back without cleaning anything. It took me more than a half hour to pull the items out and clean them off (some things had to be hosed off outside because they were so covered in that stinky stuff I couldn't get them clean any other way). The mat had to be thrown away; it was not recoverable. Wished I'd taken pics but all I could think of was to get it cleaned up before it all dried! So, 2 stars ("could've been better") for a kitchen sink that actually drains now but docked 3 stars for the mess that was left and the bill being more than I was told it would be. Next time I'll be calling someone else.

Jake arrived within hours, thoroughly diagnosed the issue, which turned out to be a slow, insidious leak from our shower valve, and explained everything in clear detail. He walked us through our options without any pressure, which we really appreciated. We moved quickly to bring in remediators the next day, and Jake came back to cap the shower so the demo work could begin. Even for a relatively smaller project, his responsiveness was exceptional. He even followed up with a call to share best practices and suggestions, delivering the information in such a calm, practical way that it kept an already daunting home project from feeling overwhelming. We were so pleased to work with Jake and highly recommend him and Cornel's Plumbing!

Their quote came in the lowest and Brandon was extremely helpful on the phone, so I ended up choosing them. - The quote process was great: I submitted their online form, they gave me a call asking for more details, I sent them a few pictures, and they gave me another call with solutions and a quote. The quote also happened to be the cheapest of the 3 companies I got bids from. - The installation went very smoothly. I understand that direct vent water heaters are a little tricky to install, but Brandon installed perfectly. He arrived on time, got rid of our old water heater, and added a new water heater with several fixes: the overflow pipe now runs to the sink, he used a "flex vent" kit so the water heater can sit on the ground, and he put the water heater in a tray to reduce issues from slow leaks since I don't have a basement drain. - After the install, Brandon taught me how to change the temp / turn the water heater off / how to flush it / how to change the anode rod. Very pleased with the work and my new water heater is working flawlessly. The only downside was that there was no permit. I'm no expert on permits. Portland's website says that water heater changes require a permit. Brandon said it's a "gray area" for residential. I am not planning on selling the house and things looked good to me, so I don't mind too much.

Everyone in the crew was clean and neat in appearance and arrived right on time. They were coming and going throughout the day and there were a bunch of them, including Tony Lescanec and Jim Thomason, and they were all really great guys (I say "guys" because I saw no women on site). I'm the type that wants to know stuff and I asked a lot of questions. They were always courteous and friendly in answering everything I "needed" to know. After the install, they went over each piece with us, including the new fancy thermostat. The system is fantastic - it's so quiet - and it works great! I can't wait to see how it does during the upcoming HOT summer months. Btw, they left the area rather clean, save for a couple of pointy screws. Great work by the team from Roth Home. It was a bit more spendy than we had anticipated, but with their "free AC if you buy a furnace" promo and the lifetime parts and labor warranty, we were going with Roth!

They didn't charge for the service call and had an estimator, Omar, out here the same day. He laid out all the options and we chose our new HVAC. They scheduled our install for the following week, which is unheard of in this post-pandemic world. Randolph and Bryan showed up on time and were quick in their work. They completed the install and clean up by early afternoon and took measurements for a new custom door to cover the HVAC system. Today Andrey came to install the custom door. He was also quick, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. In fact, everyone involved from start to finish was top notch. The entire process only took three weeks, as compared to five months to replace a broken garage door in 2021 and a year to replace our kitchen in 2022. We already trusted Air Stars because we had them install Mitsubishi ductless units 18 months ago in our granny unit (to replace baseboard and wall heaters and to add A/C). We are very pleased with Air Stars and would recommend them.
