Bluefrog was incredibly fair with their bid and prompt and professional with their communication. The process to install our new tankless water heater was smooth. Would highly recommend Bluefrog for any plumbing need.

The situation
A Hillsboro plumber for the job you actually have
Hot water that is gone or unreliable
No hot water, or temperature swings that go from scalding to cold. Most diagnoses point to the thermostat, heating element, or anode rod — all same-visit fixes on stocked trucks.
A toilet, faucet, or shower fixture acting up
Running toilets, weak shower flow, leaking cartridges. Routine repairs on stocked parts — most of these wrap in one visit, including the ceramic-disc cartridges common in newer Tanasbourne and Orenco fixtures.
A leak that is hard to localize
A drip under a sink, water at the base of a fixture, or a wet spot on a wall or ceiling. We diagnose where the leak is coming from before opening anything up — that often saves a second hole in the drywall.
Older homes near downtown Hillsboro
Downtown and South Hillsboro still have plenty of pre-1970s homes on galvanized supply or original cast-iron drain. If pressure has been dropping for years or drains have been slowing across the whole house, the piping itself is usually the bottleneck.
Here is what working with us looks like.
Diagnosis before any work begins
We identify the actual cause — not just the symptom — so the repair we quote actually fixes the problem.
Written estimate before we start
You see the price after diagnosis and before any work starts. Priced by the job, not the hour. No overtime, no surprises.
Most repairs done same visit
Trucks carry the most common parts for water heaters, faucets, toilets, hose bibs, and pressure valves. If a part needs ordering, we tell you up front.
Code and permits handled when required
Water heater swaps, repipes, and major fixture changes need a permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and close it out. You coordinate nothing.

Why us
Why Portland Homeowners Choose bluefrog
SE Portland, independently owned
Morgan founded and runs bluefrog from SE Portland. The business is woman-owned and LGBTQ-owned — a team that reflects the city we serve. When you call, you reach a local shop whose owner oversees every project, not a national dispatch center routing you to whoever's available.
Flat-rate pricing, in writing
We price by the job, not by the hour. You see a written estimate after diagnosis and before we touch anything — no overtime charges, no surprises. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
Fully licensed, permits handled
Every technician works under Oregon CCB #255748. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out — you don't have to coordinate anything. The work meets Oregon code and gives your home a clean paper trail.
Your plumber is our employee, not a subcontractor
Every technician on our crew is a direct bluefrog employee — background-checked, Oregon-licensed, and accountable to Morgan personally. We don't route calls through a dispatch network or hand off to whoever's available. You'll get the right person for the job, not just whoever's next in the queue.
The team that shows up at your door.

Very happy with Bluefrog of Portland. We were able to get a quick appointment. Ian did a good job explaining our options and installing our water heater. We prefer to do business with smaller, local companies.

Questions, answered
Common Questions About Plumbing in Hillsboro
Do you charge a trip fee for service calls in Hillsboro?
No trip fee for scheduled appointments in Hillsboro during business hours (Monday–Friday 8am–4pm). The diagnosis visit is free, and you see a written estimate before any work starts. After-hours calls go through our partner network and may include a dispatch fee — we tell you that before anyone rolls a truck.
How fast can you get to my Hillsboro home?
Same-day appointments Monday–Friday 8am–4pm. Hillsboro is a longer drive from our SE Portland base than the closer Westside suburbs, so calling in the morning makes a same-day slot more likely. We give you a specific arrival window when you book.
Do you handle permits with the City of Hillsboro?
Yes. We pull permits with the City of Hillsboro for water heater swaps, repipes, and major fixture changes, and schedule the inspection. CCB #255748 covers all of Oregon, including Hillsboro and the surrounding Washington County jurisdictions.
What plumbing services do you cover in Hillsboro?
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation; whole-house repipes; leak detection and repair; toilet, faucet, and shower repair; hose bibs; pressure-regulating valves; and emergency calls during business hours. We focus on residential — single-family and condo. We do not do commercial plumbing or new construction rough-in.
What neighborhoods do you serve in Hillsboro?
All of Hillsboro — Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, AmberGlen, downtown Hillsboro, South Hillsboro, and the Reedville and Witch Hazel areas. We also serve the broader Westside: Beaverton, Aloha, North Plains, and Forest Grove.
