Modern Plumbing was founded in 1959 by a family dedicated to the plumbing trade in the Portland metropolitan area. What began as a local residential operation grew steadily through the decades into a full-service contractor trusted by homeowners, remodeling contractors, and commercial property managers across Oregon and Southwest Washington.
The business has remained in the same family across four generations — each carrying forward the principles on which the company was founded: licensed technicians, on-time arrivals, code-compliant work, and straightforward communication from the first call to the final inspection. That continuity is uncommon in the trades, and it shows in how the company operates.
Many clients in the Portland area have called Modern Plumbing for decades, referring neighbors, passing the number to their children, and returning for every project on every property they own.
The company’s headquarters sit at 11120 SW Industrial Way in Tualatin, Oregon, positioned at the center of the metro area it has served since 1959.
Modern Plumbing approaches every job — a single leaking faucet or a full commercial build-out — with the same level of care and attention. The company’s plumbers are licensed, experienced with both older Portland-area construction and modern systems, and trained to communicate clearly about what a job requires before work begins.
Scheduling runs Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Every call is answered by a live team member — not a call center, not a voicemail queue.
Clients who have worked with the company consistently cite on-time arrivals, clean work, and technicians who explain the problem and the fix in plain language.
