New construction plumbing GCs can schedule around.

The sub that protects your schedule.

Ask any general contractor what a plumbing sub really costs and the bid is only the start of the answer. The expensive part is the rough-in crew that slips a week without warning, the inspection that fails on work nobody tested, and the number that quietly turns out to have been an estimate. New construction plumbing is a reliability trade before it is a pipe trade, so reliability is what we bid first.

That claim has a paper trail. On our service side, homeowners get an exact 30-minute arrival slot instead of a four-hour window, and if we miss it the service call fee is waived. The same discipline runs our construction calendar: when we commit to a groundwork date or a top-out week, the commitment holds, and if anything ever threatens it, you hear from us early and with a plan, not on the morning of.

Site conduct carries the same signature. The concierge habits our homeowners see, protected pathways, contained mess, a workspace left clean at the end of the day, come to the jobsite too, because tidy work areas keep the trades behind us moving and keep the walk-through short.

The rest of the record is public. More than 50 permitted projects sit on our BuildZoom file, where a score of 115 places Panda Plumbing in the top 2% of Oregon’s 62,000+ licensed contractors. Jeremy Williams, the journeyman plumber who owns the company, reads the plans, prices the scope, and answers for the work through final inspection.

ADUs, plumbed like the small houses they are.

Portland’s ADU wave is reshaping east-side lots one backyard at a time: detached cottages, basement conversions, garages turned into studios, additions that stretch a two-bedroom into a family home. On paper the unit is small. In plumbing terms it is a complete dwelling, with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and hot water, all arriving through a system that was sized decades ago to serve one house.

The tie-in is where an ADU succeeds or fails, so that is where we start: evaluating the existing supply and drainage before the design gets locked, so the main house does not lose its shower every time the new unit runs a load of laundry. Hot water gets sized to the unit instead of defaulted. A wall-hung tankless water heater is often the right answer in an ADU, where floor space is scarce and a tenant expects hot water that does not run out.

And when the existing service line cannot honestly feed two dwellings, we say so, then scope the fix as its own project: trenchless main water line replacement that upsizes the supply without carving up the yard between the houses.

Homeowners hire us directly for ADU builds, and we work just as comfortably under your GC or designer. We take these projects across our whole coverage area, from east Portland out through Gresham, Troutdale, Clackamas, and Happy Valley. If the project is less ground-up and more a rework of the home you already live in, that is the territory of our remodel plumbing team. Either way, it starts with a free consultation and ends with an exact quote in writing.
