Just the nicest group of people! Called in the morning and got a same-day visit. My issue with an outside faucet was an easy fix for the plumber. Fixed it in no time. Highly recommended. Will be calling Forest Ridge Plumbing for all my needs going forward. read more

He replumbed under the sink and installed the new faucet in no time. He was thorough and fixed a leak we found after he left. He came back and fixed it no charge. read more

Sunday morning we woke up to a leaky, smelly water heater. Jay was kind enough to not only come out on a Sunday morning, but actually replaced it the same day. Reasonably priced and stellar work. Thanks again Jay! read more

Super pleased. Jay got back to me right away. Came out the same day. Fixed severely leaking/broken outdoor faucet, as well as toilet & he rebuilt kitchen faucet so that it works perfectly. Very personable. Price seemed reasonable. I have referred all my friends to Jay. read more

Since I was working from home, I decided to get my bathroom sink replace as the enamel started to flake off. Not only did their estimate lower than a few places I got from home advisor, but was available to do the work immediately. Not only was the work done professionally but also quickly. I will definitely use him again if I have any other issues or projects. read more

Jay is the best. He was able to come by fix my water pressure issues and was able to do it quickly. He is honest and reliable. Would recommend him over any other plumber. read more

Called to have two slow leaking pipes repaired. Jay was able to come out the next day and give me a quote and complete the repair then and there. His price was in line with what I guesstimated the cost to repair would be and he didn't try to upsell. I called another company out and they wanted to charge me an exorbitant amount and kept finding new problems I didn't have. I will absolutely call Jay again for any future plumbing needs. read more

Another great experience with FR. They're definitely my preferred plumber. They offer pretty much all services, and they're a local independent. Exactly who I want to use. Called them out for a third visit today. Needed a new commode in the throne room, and there was a leak in the shower. Pete showed up early, cheerful, and ready to go. He hustled through the install and did a great job. When I booked the appointment, I forgot to tell him about the leak in the shower. He happily added it to the visit and fixed it in a few minutes. I did some online research on toilets, and he was able to make recommendations that jibed with that I found online. He recommended a Toto Drake, which he had for just a couple dollars more than online sources charged. It's not available as of today in physical stores, so I had two options--him, or online. Went with him, and was happy enough in this case to put another $15 into a local business and not have to wait for shipping. He's tidy and always pleasant and professional. He doesn't ask to inspect the house and look for other stuff you might need him to fix. He does what he's there to do, does it right, does it quickly, sticks to his estimate, and then moves on to his next appointment. I'll keep calling him for work as long as he stays in business. read more

Jay saved me from a disaster that I created trying to remove a bathtub spout. I scored the outside of the copper pipe severely to the point it couldn't be used. There was only 1 inch salvageable extending from the tub wall that was undamaged for him to solder on an extension. He used heat blocking putty on the tub wall to protect it while soldering on the extension. Then he soldered on a threaded nipple and installed the spout I ordered and finished by sealing it with tub and tile caulking. Very nice job. It saved me from needing to open up the back drywall to make the repair. Thank you. I highly recommend! read more

5 stars all the way!! Pete just came over today to replace a kitchen faucet and a few smaller plumbing tasks. Superfast, efficient, courteous, and reasonably priced. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

When you find an honest pleasant person to work with you hang on to their info! Jay came by to asses what I assumed was a water heater leak...He checked the base and said there was no water on the inside of the pan or insulation. He added a cap to a brass valve that he suspected caused the bit of water on the outside at no charge. The company that came by for a quote an hour before said the whole unit needed to be replaced. I really appreciate Jay's honesty and service, I will be calling him for all future plumbing repairs. read more

I had a few small plumbing jobs that I needed to have taken care of, so I quickly went to Yelp to check for highly rated plumbers in my area when Jay's 5-star average review caught my eye. Too good to be true? I had to find out for myself. To say that I was impressed with his service is an understatement. Jay was able to come over right away and review the projects I had for him and offer me a very competitive estimate. A few days later he was at my house at the agreed upon date and time completing the work on budget. Do not hesitate to give Jay a call for all of your plumbing needs - I'm a lifetime customer. Thanks again, Jay! read more

We have had Jay work on our hot water replacement and garbage disposal. Both time he provided honest and reasonable price quotes, great info and excellent workmanship! We are extremely happy to find a great plumber for life! read more

Forest Ridge Plumbing gets a perfect 5 from us. Cold weather, broken pipe, leaking all over the floor. I ran to Yelp and found the plumber closest to my house. I called Forest Ridge and the gal said she'd have Pete call me back as soon as possible. Pete called back within 20 minutes and promised to be out that day. Mind you this was December 24. Pete came out and assessed the problem. Although his truck has a million parts, my house has a special kind of faucet that he'd need to order. So he cut and capped the pipes and told me he'd be back in a few days with the necessary parts. Don't worry about the bill, I'll get it to you later, he said. As promised, Pete came out a few days later with the parts. In less than an hour he had the whole thing put together, while our 6-year old chatted with him the entire time. The bill was about $350, but $80 was the faucet itself. More importantly, there's nothing creepy about Pete - he's a genuine guy that's honest and really knows what he's doing. That's not always the case with plumbers, in my experience. read more

Pete fixed 3 slow-flushing toilets, including putting in 2 new flappers and replacing a water valve(? whatever that's called to the left), in about 35 mins. Yes, he is that fast. We used the remainder of our 1 hr asking him about the water pressure in our shower head, our sink... our stovetop and exhaust fan. He had answers to all our questions and gave good references to stores and products. Professional, efficient, friendly. 5 stars. Oh, he did arrive 25minutes early.. so i guess you would call him punctual! read more

I had a local chain plumbing company rep come to fix the toilet in our newly purchased home. The toilet was not screwed down to the floor properly. The guy from the chain company told me it would cost $448 to pull the toilet, replace the screws, and reinstall. He then tried to upsell me into buying a new toilet and was really aggressive; even offering to buy the toilet for me himself at Home Depot, offering that I could reimburse him with a personal check. He gave me his personal cell number. This seemed very sketchy. I declined, that seemed ridiculous - so I called Forest Ridge for 2nd opinion. Jay came out and said it would be $280 to pull the toilet, replace the screws, and reinstall. I asked Jay about the flange, the pipe that connects the toilet to the sewer pipe under the home. The chain plumber told me it was loose and would be $2000 to replace that. Jay said it would be about $400.00, but that he thought it wasn't necessary. After reinstalling the toilet, he crawled under the house and had me flush the toilet a couple times to ensure it wasn't leaking. Jay appears to take pride in his work, is knowledgeable, and has integrity. I would definitely go back to him for future plumbing needs. read more

Went to repair a hose bib but instead of breaking loose a threaded fitting I ripped loose a soldered joint . Called Forest Ridge and Mr. Jay arrived, assessed the situation and was finished less than an hour later after cutting into bedroom wall. Jay was professional and efficient. Any future plumbing matters we'll be calling Forest Ridge. Thanks Jay! read more

My washbasin sink was clogged and I was afraid to open the pipes myself. I called Roto rooter first who gave me a free quote of 400$. I knew this was too much to fix a clog, yelped local plumbers and spoke to Jay. There are many things I liked about him: 1. Customer obsession: quick in working with me and finding a time to take a look at the issue. Even though it wasn't an emergency, he was available to stop by pretty much the same day. 2. Earn trust: he has definitely earned my trust. He told me over the phone that since I'm closeby, he won't charge me for the visit. said the clog is a out 200$ which was already half the price to what roto rooters said. Once he came, he knew the issue and fixed it in 2m. Gave me a free lesson and said he cannot charge me for this whole fix. I cannot expect anything more than that and was very appreciative of his professional nature. He is the guy for everyone in bothell. Definitely raises the bar for all his competitors. Thank you jay. read more

I have to admit it: I am a cynic. 30+ reviews, all five star and nothing lower struck me as, well, unbelievable. But I called Forest Ridge anyway. Pete is everything you would expect from these reviews: competent, fast and goal oriented. He crawled under my house, fixed a broken drain pipe and was done twenty minutes later. I am now a believer and just added my own five star review. Way to go, Pete! read more

Pete is absolutely the BEST. He is knowledgeable and when he fixes a problem he will often give you tips on how to prevent the problem from reoccuring or how to quickly fix it yourself. He always explains the situation in detail, the solution and why. His prices are fair. He does not rush you to replace a toilet or fixture if it is fixable and has more life span. He is just a great guy. I originally learned about him from Washington Park Tower condos in Madison Park where he was the plumber that the building always called. He (and his partner before his retirement) has been holding our 1924 home together since 1993. read more

Yelp reviews helped me pick Forest Ridge over others plumbers. Most of them are a joke. Once place 'freakin' charges $75 just to send a guy out and refused to give me a range of pricing or price/hour or average price etc. Pete is knowledgeable and straightforward. He explained to me of the possible problems over the phone without even seeing my kitchen and the piping. He was upfront with his pricing and didn't charge the silly send-a-guy-over-to-look fee. He also gave me some estimates on work required and possible time to complete. After calling Pete, he came by within hours (same day) and worked quickly to diagnose and unclog my kitchen sinks. He gave me advice on preventative maintenance, general problems to expect over time, and recommendations for improved piping and disposal units. Pete truly is the BEST! read more

I called Forest Ridge Pluming based on all of the good reviews on Yelp. I can now understand why so many people are satisfied with his work. Used Pete this past week. He was able to come out the same day and addressed the leak I had under my sink. He moved fast to diagnose the source of the leak and then worked to fix it. He was very professional and gained my trust. I now know who I will call if I ever have another plumbing issue. read more

Pete is the best! We have been using him for years (most recently to replace a broken garbage disposal). Here's the typical scenario: 1. Plumbing problem develops (usually at night). 2. I call Pete's number first thing in the morning and speak to his receptionist (his wife, maybe?) 3. He calls me within 30 minutes. 4. He's at my house within another hour. (Not always, of course, but nearly every time.) 5. The problem is fixed quickly, at a reasonable price. On top of that, he's friendly, polite, and extremely helpful about preventive stuff, as other reviewers have noted. I'd rank him higher than 5 stars if possible. read more

We had an issue with our toilet, called a different plumber and left a voicemail, and did not hear back 3 days later. Found these guys on yelp, called 'em, and Pete called back within an hour! Initially he was booked for the day, but I think he got done early, squeezed us and was in and done in like 20 minutes. Super friendly, knowledgeable and a heck of a nice guy! read more

I contacted Forest Ridge Plumbing for a leaking water heater. Jay responded to my inquiry within an hour. He was able to take a look and provide a very reasonable estimate within 3 hours of my call. Hot water heater was picked up, installed and running efficiently within 6 hours. His work was meticulous and there were no crazy add-ons or upselling efforts. Jay was pleasant, professional and no-nonsense. I would highly recommend Forest Ridge Plumbing and will use them again without hesitation. Thank you, Jay! read more

Thank you Yelpers for convincing me that Pete with Forest Ridge Plumbing was the man to hire. He was completely understanding of my wonky work schedule and meeting at the most convenient time for me. He diagnosed and fixed my problems super quick, offered advice on some home inspection repairs, and when I brought up extra problems that I hadn't mentioned before - he went straight to checking it out and fixed it (of course, after I agreed). He is a bit of a fast talker (as in speed), but completely friendly and willing to explain things more in depth. I will not hesitate to contact him if any plumbing problems come up in the future. read more

We had new countertops and sink installed, but hooking up the plumbing under the sink scared me. Yelpers steered me in the right direction, and I contacted Pete. He was responsive, competent, and FAST! He is easy to speak with, and is incredibly mission oriented. There will not be a second of wasted time when he is in your home. He works the problem, solves it, and gets you back to your day. His pricing was very fair, and I will invariably use him again if (when) we have more plumbing issues. read more

Honest and shows up on schedule. Not much else to say other than he showed up the first time and found an extra leak and fixed it too. The second time he came out and replaced our rocking toilet. I'm always glad to find a tradesman that is organized and keeps their appointments. Plus he is fast, when he had to grind out a pipe under the sink I thought for sure it would be expensive. But he had it fixed quickly. read more

We had been told by a heating technician who managed to work in our claustrophobia-inducing crawlspace that there was a leak. So... I poked around the internet and found this plumber with a number of good recommendations. I called them, talked to Pete, and he even was ready to come by the same day. I wasn't (because I was at work) so we set up for later in the week. Wow. Great plumber! Friendly, courteous, focused, responsive and thorough. He found our leak and fixed it quickly. The price was super-reasonable, too. He'll get all our plumbing business from now on. read more

We have used Forest Ridge Plumbing several times, mostly to fix leaky toilets, but once to fix a leaky pipe under our sink. We moved into our house in 2007. It was built in 2004. In about 2010 one of the supply lines under the sink starting leaking where it came out of the wall. Pete diagnosed this with his usual speed. He said the builder had used the cheap "shark teeth" type of fitting so he had to saw it off, leaving enough pipe to reconnect it properly. I agree with every other review (and I think they are ALL five stars) about Pete's speed, knowledge, friendliness and reasonable pricing. And by the way, I read ALL of the 20 filtered out reviews and in my opinion, ALL of them are legitimate. If Pete ever decides to retire, We will be pretty sad. Update 7/12/12. Well I came here to update my review of another business (that review was filtered out) and what do you know, this one was filtered out too! Yelp, what is wrong with you guys!?? Read the unfiltered and filtered reviews of Forest Ridge Plumbing. See any difference? I don't. They ALL are mostly 5 star because Pete is a 5 star plumber!! I think Yelp should allow consumers to comment on other consumers' reviews, as Amazon does. Then if other consumers thought a review was fake they could challenge the reviewer. Instead they use this stupid filter. Am I angry that BOTH of my reviews have been filtered? Yes I am, but I think it is unfair that consumers don't get to see these reviews unless they happen to see the "filtered" link. BTW, Pete accepts only cash or check, not credit or debit cards. He's a one-man operation. read more

I originally called the company, based on the positive reviews on Yelp. I've had poor experiences with Plumbers/Plumbing companies, so reviews are very important to me. I called to schedule a Roman Tub faucet and a toilet installation(s), and I received a quick response from Jay, w/ fairly quick scheduling for service. I didn't have a plumbing emergency, so I didn't need a quick turn-around. Jay arrived in an unmarked, but fully stocked van. The van is actually a "rolling plumbing warehouse", after I took a peek inside. I appreciate the last fact, as I've had many plumbers show up and need to run and get parts (while the clock is ticking). He looked at my tub remodel project, and wasn't sure my faucet / valve configuration would work with the tub. However, he tried to make it work. After 2 hours of work, he indicated 'he wouldn't put his name to the work', so he wasn't able to finish the job. He didn't charge me, because he wasn't able to finish the job. I was stunned! This is such a professional approach to customer service, and I truly appreciate his time and sacrifice. He was able to professionally install the 1/2 bath toilet. It looks great! I highly recommend this company and ask for 'Jay'. read more

I had a leak in my garage main water shut off valve and called Forest Ridge who came out within the day to replace the valve and to install a water pressure control valve. Jay did a great job and came up with a very creative way to install the water pressure control valve. Would I use him again? Absolutely. Now I feel confident that I can go on a vacation and not come home to a flooded garage. read more

Just had a Jay P. from Forest Ridge Plumbing over to fix a dishwasher line blockage and air gap issue plus an outdoor faucet. He was on time as promised, his quote and estimate matched and were fair (no upsell!), and worked quickly then double checked his work. It is always hard to find trustworthy and reliable service providers that you feel comfortable having inside your home, so I'm happy to provide this reference for Jay and will be calling him the next time I have a plumbing issue. read more

Have used him twice. Once for a new sink, to fix a leak in another sink and fix a leaky outdoor faucet and then once to fix a leak between copper and pvc where pipe goes out of house to outside irrigation. Works super fast -- jogs between work site and his truck if he needs something. Cost may be a little higher than others but quality, speed and honesty are priceless! He's the only plumber I'll call. No regrets. read more

Called to have our kitchen faucet replaced. The old one was leaking badly and I had to shut the water off. So, it was welcome news that Jay was able to fit me that afternoon. I'm happy to report that Jay continued the high quality of service and professionalism at Forest Ridge after he bought the business from Pete. Nice guy who is knowledgeable and explains things. He was prompt and he did the job within his estimate. Great job! Recommend!!! read more

I worked for 2 days trying to clear a clogged kitchen sink drain. I gave up and called Forest Ridge. This guy was great. He showed up on time, did an outstanding job, and charged a reasonable price. He cleaned his shoes each time he came in, he cleaned up under sink and the floor. Very thorough. Checked the related drains and was in and out in 30 minutes. I was very satisfied, Byron in Mill Creek. read more

I was very impressed with Pete at Forest Ridge Plumbing. So impressed that I created a yelp account! He got here when he said he would, he worked quickly and efficiently and he got the job done. I would highly recommend him and will use him the next time I need a plumber! read more

Steve was a great plumber to help us assess our leak and figure out how much it would cost to repair.

Absolutely, fantastic! Excellent quality of work, reliable, fair pricing, shows up on time. Pete moved some plumbing for me in my bathroom as part of a remodel. I understand that he does primarily repair work, but he was nice enough to come out and help with this remodel plumbing yesterday. At work this morning, somebody asked how the plumbing went yesterday and I began singing Pete's praises. My coworker stops me and asks, 'Pete from Forest Ridge? Oh yeah, I know Pete. He's the only guy I use." I highly recommend Forest Ridge Plumbing! read more

We noticed a hole on our water heater expansion tank so my husband looked online for a plumber. He called one place and made an appointment, but after doing some more research he saw the yelp reviews for Forest Ridge Plumbing. He cancelled the other appointment and immediately called Pete. Pete was great. He got to our house within three hours of calling and replaced our expansion tank. Great service and great price. He's definitely our go to guy next time we have plumbing problems. read more
