"I?m incredibly disappointed with the work that was done at my property. Mine was a clear case of underbidding and miscommunications. The good: nice people and they did do a lot of work. Just not everything they bid on. Bad: the front yard of my house looks worse. We knew we were being fit in but they seemed to be in a hurry. They focused on one aspect. Overcharged a known addition to compensate for under bidding and still didn?t do the clear away that they were supposed to do. If his tractor couldn?t do the work he just didn?t do it. They were supposed to clear back an entire field and he stopped half way and said he was done and then he left the downed brush despite an email I had stating they would remove or burn the brush as their costs. When we pointed out the miscommunication it ?was what it was?. We spoke many times about what we wanted done - it shouldn?t have been a suprise. Again they did a lot of work but I?m upset they didn?t fulfill the terms. Would not recommend. "

"As the saying goes...."if I could give zero to negative stars I would". This review is not to spite the company but to warn other customers to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! My experience with A1 Glass Beaverton was a comedy of errors....though I am not laughing. It started with an incorrect quote, which I had to call and tell the company about (even though the quote was actually in MY favor). Then I scheduled the window replacement. The written estimate noted that work will be completed 2-4 weeks after written quote. I did not hear from them for 4 weeks and called them to inquire. They said simply the glass was "on order" and they were waiting. After another period of time, I called them and they said they were having a problem with the supplier and they would need more time (they did not bother to pick up the phone and tell me that even though now it was well over a month....going on 2 months). After finally receiving the glass, they scheduled the install on dates when I told them I would be out of town. I received a text in the morning and scrambled to try to find someone to go to the house to meet them. I texted them back questioning why they scheduled it when they knew I was away. Heather sent me a text back saying "I didn't confirm the appointment because I knew you would be overseas". Uhm...well then why did I receive a text saying they were on their way? The appt was then rescheduled to a little over a week later. When the gentlemen arrived to install the glass, they said the measurements that the estimator took were incorrect. After removing my window and trying to make it work, they could not. They simply put my old glass back in the frame and said they could not complete the job and that the office would be in touch. Well, after two weeks I called because no one had called me back. Heather said that "she didn't want to pass the buck, but the installers were supposed to call me back". I then told her that the installers told me that the worn out rubber gasket surrounding the window that was part of the job as per her written email confirmation would not be part of the job "as the gaskets are way too expensive to replace" (said by one of the installers). Really?? You said it was covered and now you are trying to put new windows in a frame with a gasket that is obviously falling apart?? How is this acceptable workmanship PLUS you confirmed in your email that it was included. When I asked Heather about this she said she was new and misunderstood my question about the gasket. I told her to take this situation to the owner as it has now been 3.5 months since I gave them my deposit and that this entire experience was unacceptable. The owner, Bryce, called me back and said that they could not replace the gasket and had no means of sourcing one. REALLY? You are a window company and can't do a gasket on a window? I let him know of my ridiculous experience with his company and he just KEPT repeating that they could not complete the work. The best he could do is give me my deposit back. He made no effort to remedy the problem. So.....now after almost 4 months, I am at ground zero. Thanks for nothing but a hassle."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Portland, OR

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
