Get matched with top sump pump repair or replacers in Lynden, WA

"Replaced a toilet and shower head. Was very easy to work with and did a good job "

"Milo was very friendly and accommodating. I hired him to do annual maintenance on my tankless water system as well as flush it out. He discovered that the pump run constantly and that shouldn’t be happening. The result is my house is always 80° if I keep it plugged in so I always keep it unplugged. He diagnosed that the pump needs to be replaced but wasn’t absolutely positive if that would solve my heating problem. He’s supposed to be getting me a bid on replacing the pump, but I haven’t heard back from him. I would probably hire him again."

"Make sure you communicate all your concerns to estimator when taking bids. Don't assume that something is included in total job proposal."

"I was able to get my kitchen leak repaired and faucet installed the very same day I called. Both gentleman were professional and efficient and worked quickly so that my job wouldn’t cost more than necessary. They worked as a team and did great work. I would hire this company again without hesitation."

"Arrived on time. Looked over the job and gave estimates ranging from minimum required repairs to long term inspections with long term warranties. Prices were reasonable for the work required. Job was completed quickly and satisfactorily. Service people were friendly and explained what was required and how they were going to fix the problem. Work area was cleaned up nicely when job was finished. I will hire the next time I have plumbing problems. Recommended."

"I initially called Marv's for an estimate for the installation of a replacement toilet. The person I spoke to advised me that the toilet itself cost approximately $325.00 and the installation would be 1 hour labor @$120.00 per hour. She said that if the plumber ran into some difficulty the labor cost could be as high as 2 hours or $240.00. The plumber was schedule to arrive at 9:00 AM but didn't show up until 9:20. He was finished by 10:30. He said the charge was $367.90 but didn't provide us a detailed copy of the bill. I paid by credit card. He left a message later in the afternoon saying that he had forgot to include the labor in the bill. He said that he'd have the office manager call me and tell me the labor charge. The office manager called and said the labor charge was $240.00 (or two hours) and the total would be an additional $240.19 for a total of $608.09. Remember, I was quoted $325.00 for the toilet + $120.00 for labor + tax. I objected to the two hour labor charge; I told the office manager that the plumber was at our home no more than one hour and 10 minutes. The office manager said the time she quoted didn't include "driving time". I told her that to the best of my knowledge and the notes I took of our conversation there was no "driving time" mentioned. Another issue was the toilet seat. Apparently the new toilet didn't come with a seat (or the plumber forgot to mention it). We purchased a new toilet seat from Marv's for an additional $46.75. That said, the on-line reviews of the "factory" toilet seat were dismal so we would most likely have had to purchase one anyway. Here's what I learned from the process: Some plumbers charge a fee to come to the site and give you an estimate (after they've had the opportunity to physically inspect the job). Do yourself and the plumber a favor . . . that is, opt to pay the estimate fee so there are no surprises when presented with the bill. I was interested in having Marv's install another toilet in our second bathroom until this issue surfaced. Unfortunately, this issue has left a bad taste in my mouth (and most likely Marv's staff too), thus someone else will get my future business. After discussing the issue with the officer manager via email, Marv's agreed to accept a total of $556.92 for the work instead of the original $608.09."

"The leak was detected and has been repaired by a plumber we like and have employed before."

"The report was very professional and detailed. The response was fast. The price was expensive but due to the detail, understandable. I wouldn't hire again due to multiple requests for a completed report and estimate for the mold remediation and just getting robotic replies that didn't answer my questions."

"The contractor removed one tank containing filtering media the added a larger one with a media that was sufficient for the iron content that had to be removed.  He further adjusted the system and corrected the water flow and backwash cycle.   Other tanks were cleaned along with the flow valve for proper functioning. The contractor was in and out in four hours using two workers that were both polite and competent. Everything was cleaned up and was left in better shape than when they arrived. From the time they put the new system on line our water has been perfect.  We are so happy after several contractors worked on our system for 10 years and none of them has gotten it right. <br /> WE RECOMMEND THIS CONTRACTOR TO ANYONE WITH BAD DRINKING WATER!"

"In moving to Bellingham in August of 2010, we purchased a condominium that had a problem with water leaking into the crawlspace. Even though the HOA periodically pumped the water out, we wanted a more efficient and permanent solution. The building inspector for our home personally recommended Mark and 'The Carpenter's Brother' as a company that does all types of home repair, including sump and crawlspace work. We met with Mark and he quickly assessed the problem and laid out a simple sump and drainage system that would keep the crawlspace dry, protecting the wood superstructure of the building from eventual mold and rot. Mark and his son quickly did the trenching for drainage and added drain tile and rock. They then installed the sump system and replaced the vapor barrier that had been pushed out of the way by the people that had been doing the periodic pumping. The crawlspace is now clean and dry and the pump is working perfectly so far. Mark and his son were a pleasure to work with and were always easily accessible, on time, and very professional. They impressed us as being good honest people doing high quality work at a fair price. The Carpenter's Brother offers a wide range home repair services and we would recommend them to anyone."
