I was born in Portland - yep, I'm a native - and I played football at Grant High School as well as Portland State. I played linebacker, but I could have been a decent fullback if they'd ever given me the ball! I did a tour in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam era, then came back and graduated from the University of Oregon.

If your home is older than, say, early punk rock, then the chances are good that it was built with steel water pipes - which means you risk everything from small inconveniences to major disasters. Give us a call or email. We are happy to help. Is your water flow low? Are your faucets often blocked by rust and metal particles?
Some plumbing issues are pretty obvious - your toilet is doing a good impression of Old Faithful or the bottom has just fallen out of your water heater. Maybe you're surprised to discover the deep, dark waters of Lake Laundry Room in your basement. Some issues are more subtle - your water bill is growing bigger and you aren't using any extra water.
We get excited about all the ways we can contribute to your new or newly remodeled home. Come see us at the same time you see your architect or designer-even if you're doing it yourself-and we can help you plan with top quality fixtures and careful, custom installation. You probably have a lovely living room and a fabulous family room-it doesn't matter, your family lives in the kitchen.

We had a bad experience where we lost the use of our sink for a week and got stuck footing the bill for the repair to the counter granite top. I did approve the attempt to modify counter to install the sink but didnt expect the attempt to create damage that resulted the bad experience. Installer used bad judgement so one star means it was a disaster can't recommend

We had Bruner Plumbing put in all new plumbing/hook up to the street line for our tiny house in NE Portland. They were extremely thoughtful, responsive, and skillful throughout the whole process. They went above and beyond numerous times to make sure we met our timeline for our permit approval and could move in as quickly as possible. This included being on site for our plumbing inspection and when we had issues with our shower soon after it was installed they were quick to come back out to fix things. Everyone they sent out to our house was nice, considerate, and did a great job. We couldn&apos

We were so impressed with Bruner Plumbing. One of the frost-free hose bibs needed to be replaced in the front of our house. We called Bruner late in the afternoon and Justin was here at 9 the next morning. The job entailed cutting through the drywall in our living room. His work was neat and the clean-up job was excellent. He was professional, courteous and did not charge us an arm and a leg. We would highly recommend them and would call them again when we have a plumbing issue.

These guys are as good as it gets. I have used them for years and have always been impressed with their work.
Recently, I hired a contractor who used his own "plumber" to install a new shower in my bathroom. He installed a very expensive, complex Toto shower in my tub and completely botched the job, e.g. the cold setting did not run cold water, the hot was scorching, caulk was everywhere, the showerhead was leaking. etc.
Yesterday, I called Bruner Plumbing, and today, Justin and Eric were here to fix the issues and to install a new sink. Ward Bruner had already determined the scope

I was given Bruner Plumbings name by a friend and was pleased with all the positive reviews I read. First call was answered and told someone would call me back in a little bit. No call. Day later call from them saying someone would call me that afternoon to schedule work. No call. Week later random called by Bruner plumber who left message saying "answer your phone" I can come now or maybe later today. Wow by then I had called another company who had professional staff who returned my calls and scheduled me and showed up!

Bruner Plumbing has done three jobs for me in the last 6 years, one a bathroom and all have been on bid, professional and done by courteous staff. I am writing now because I noticed the one bad review and wanted to refute it. The person who wrote, "Deb" I see has numerous other reviews, all of which are 1 star and vicious in attacking whatever business is involved.

An honest plumber, folks. I have only used them once, for a repair that looked major. Once digging began, they said it looked to be a much smaller problem, which would cost about a quarter of their estimate to fix. I OK'd the smaller fix (seemed like the thing to do), and they promptly repaired the problem, sent my deposit check back, billed me for the lower fee, and all was good. I need to emphasize that I would never have had any hint of dishonesty if they had gone ahead and done the major repair for the big bucks. I would've had the repair I agreed to at the price I agreed to, after

They don't come any better than these people!
Courteous, professional, qualified, and very honest!
Bruner Plumbing has saved us time and time again with our plumbing issues in our older Lake Oswego Home!
So punctual, fair, and they always treat us right! They even make great recommendations for other qualified professionals that you may need if you ask them!
It's rare these days to find people so willing to make sure that the customer is completely satisfied!

We used Bruner to plumb our new log home. Plumbing log homes is a highly complex undertaking as you can't run plumbing in log walls (this forces you to have fewer routes for the plumbing) and the house shrinks over time. Ian and his crew expertly took on this job and did so in a very professional and friendly manner. Their work is clean, timely, cost effective, and done correctly. Their work passed inspection on the first look from the inspector, something not often achieved when doing log homes. I would highly recommend Bruner and I look forward to using them again in the future.

We have used Bruner Plumbing for several different things around the house in the last couple years. We live in a very old SE house, and it's getting to be that time when things need to be fixed and/or replaced.
They've been out to fix our toilet, pipes, sink, etc. They are always very professional and have great customer service, very helpful suggestions and ideas. I would recommend them to any family and friends. :)
