The full answer

I can't name one "best" plumber in Bigfork. It's a small town, and none of the local plumbers have enough online reviews to rank them with confidence. These names come up often on review sites:

Highly rated, but with few reviews:

  • J&R Plumbing (based in the Kalispell area) has 5.0 (4 reviews), and one customer said "His service was excellent, his price was good and an overall nice guy."
  • Empire Plumbing has 4.4 (7 reviews) Verified License Established in 2017 Free estimates. That's the most reviews in this group. One customer wrote that "Mike and his minions have filled my plumbing needs multiple times: usually same day."
  • Able Plumbing serves Bigfork and has 5.0 (1 review). The reviewer said other plumbers had quoted waits of 10 days to 2 weeks.
  • Redemption Plumbing has 5.0 (2 reviews).

Others to know about:

  • Mildren Plumbing has a lower average, 3.6 (9 reviews), but one customer praised it: "Thanks Dan and Mike for once again solving my plumbing issues quickly and professionally."
  • Joe's Plumbing in Bigfork, (406) 885-6602, is a long-running local business. A reviewer noted Joe was the plumber since 1984.
  • Touris Plumbing & Heating is rated 1.2 (6 reviews), so I'd look elsewhere first.

Tips: With review counts this low, it helps to ask neighbors or a local Bigfork Facebook group who they use. Get two or three quotes, and check the license on Montana's state license lookup. Plumbers here can get booked up, so it's also worth asking how soon they can come out.
