About Portela’s plumbing

I’m an experienced plumbing journeyman and owner of a small, up-and-coming plumbing company. With 5 years in business and hands-on expertise, I provide honest, reliable service for waste, water, and gas systems, as well as water heaters. I handle a wide range of plumbing needs, including toilet, sink, faucet, shower, and bathtub repairs and installations, garbage disposals, and emergency plumbing issues. As a one-person operation, you always know exactly who is coming to your home and doing the work. I believe the best part of this trade is being able to truly help people, and I stand behind my work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re looking for straightforward advice and quality plumbing service, I’d be glad to help.

Kevin did an excellent job on my faucet repair. He was very knowledgeable, professional and got the job done in just a few hours. I would definitely recommend Portela Plumbing for future projects.

Kevin was great! He showed up just a few hours after I contacted him and had the work done just a few hours later! Our leaky back faucet we kept putting off was fixed and looks great. Definitely will hire Kevin again!

Kevin is a great guy. Worked so hard and very responsive and even with a change order, he was able to finish the job in a timely manner. Highly recommended

Portela was very professional and easy to work with. He worked around my busy schedule, finished the sink repair in one day, and was very time efficient. My sink looks great and he was friendly the whole time. I would definitely recommend Portela’s Plumbing.

Kevin was an absolute professional from start to finish. He came out to assess our broken water heater within two hours of my initial inquiry, quoted us a very fair price, and had a brand new water heater installed the very next day. He also took care of a separate water pressure issue while he was here, going above and beyond what was asked. Efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to call Kevin again and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable plumber!

He did a great job, handled it without unnecessary up charges, and stuck by his quote.

Kevin did a great job replacing our kitchen sink faucet—everything works perfectly now. He took the time to explain the steps involved before starting the work, which we appreciated. He also pointed out a few plumbing issues we hadn’t noticed and even cleaned some mold that had built up on our grout (unrelated to the job). Kevin was thorough, helpful, and very responsive when we had follow-up questions.

Kevin did an incredible job with the repairs and provided honest advice based on what he assessed of my faucet and toilet. I’ll definitely be using him again for future projects. He was very efficient and knowledgeable.
