We service all of Southern California including LA County, Orange County, and San Diego County. We specialize in routine maintenance and beautification such as replacing your roof, repainting your home, or replacing your windows to name just a few of the remodeling services we provide. Of course we are exceptional at what we do, and we're even better at choosing who we employ. Find no better employees to work with than Suntrust Remodeling. We found the happier our employees are, the happier our customers are, and it's something you'll feel from the moment you interact with any member of our staff.

"We have to WARN anyone thinking of using this company! It was a disaster from the very beginning. No one checks up on the crew once things begin. We had to fight every step of the way sharing photos of poor workmanship and sending text messages asking when they would be back to complete the work or come out to do the repairs. Communication was absolutely terrible. The crew did NOT know what they were to do when they arrived. Quality of work was horrible and their mission statement is not true… “We understand the importance of trust and transparency in the home renovation process. That’s why we make it our mission to provide comprehensive education and clear communication throughout every project…That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for our clients”. We have paint drips all over our cedar siding and hardscape. It took over 6 months to complete our job. We will need to find another company to repair the items they did not do correctly. Feel free to reach out to us if you’d like any more information at [email protected]. We’ve reported them to BBB and also reached out to the CA Licensing Board. We are hoping to save others from getting involved with this company and causing undo stress. DO NOT trust them!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

Water softener versus water filter: which one should you choose? If you want to remove minerals, opt for a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, go for a filter. Or, you can install both.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Softener systems extend appliance life spans, improve skin and hair health, and reduce pipe buildup by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium.
