"We are not rating this company, as they did not do any work for us. There was a misunderstanding and it turns out they only do plumbing work and we had a problem with our hot water heater. We did still have to pay a $95 call out fee."
"Very professionally completed my walk-in shower with safety bars, pull down seat, etc. Friendly, great on cleanup, and determined to satisfy customer."
General handyman things, light electrical, landscaping, painting, plumbing and pretty much anything else. I also know my limits, so if there is something I am not 100% certain I can do up to standards then I will be honest. Cost is always negotiable with me.
"Great job on the house, they had everything installed in 3 days and once the LAWP Panel from the power company and hooked everything, then everything was working well. they took care of all the paper works and documentation, and everything was done quickly. Best price available for us."
"We decided to go green and to replace the water heater and to install a tankless system and a solar panel system. We met several times with Ezra and Charlie and we spoke and covered everything that involved with this and to know exactly what can i earn from that. Ezra proved me that he is very knowledgeable and he knew exactly what system will fit us most. The work that they did took close to a month and Ezra and his office did it as a hassle free project for us. We are very happy with them and the company itself."
"I currently have a house for rent in San Diego when water damage was discovered in the master bedroom closet by my new tenant--who had just moved in two months prior to the discovery. The tenant then informed me about the water damage, which according to a plumber, was from a leak within the bathroom. I decided to call Hometown Restoration and ended up getting in contact with Justin. I told Justin all about the water damage before he came to the house to give me a quote. I then ended up asking Justin a large number of questions, to which he responded to them rather quickly and in a kindly manner; moreover, Justin had explained thoroughly what needed to be done to remediate, rebuild and why. This all because Justin knew what he was doing. Justin even provided me with a video of the finished product because I live outside of the country. Overall, I am satisfied with the way Hometown Restoration handled the tenant and I's problem and would extremely recommend to anyone who has problems within their home. Keep up the good work! :)"
"The service went fine. There was an extra charge due to the size of my home and the length of the drains. The additional fee was reasonable. It was easy to schedule an appointment, as well."
"Joshua is great! I purchased the toilets at Home Depot and arranged for Joshua to pick them up. Well HD Lancaster location only had two of the HE toilets that I wanted, so the 3rd toilet was picked up in the HD Palmdale store. Joshua did all this with pleasure. He was on time, work was completed superbly and cleanup was on point. I will always call on Joshua for my Handyman needs..."
Thawing a pipe yourself usually takes around 30 minutes but can take longer depending on outside weather conditions, how long the pipe has been frozen, and its location. If you’ve been trying to unfreeze a pipe yourself for over an hour with no solution, it’s best to call a plumber.
Most of the time, homeowners are responsible for replacing a main water shut-off valve. This is because the property owner also owns the water service line from the shut-off valve near their property line to their house. That means they must maintain, repair, or replace it when needed.
While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.
Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.
PEX pipes last up to 50 years on average, though they often last longer. This lifespan is comparable to that of galvanized steel, which ranges from 40 to 100 years. However, PEX piping is less likely to crack or break due to temperature changes. Due to that and the fact that it's easier to work with, many plumbers and DIYers are choosing PEX tubes over traditional metal piping.
Plumbers replace shower pans, shower liners, drains, and drain traps. But if you want to tile over your pan, you’ll need to call in a tiler after the plumber installers the pan. Alternatively, you may be able to hire a shower installer to complete the entire job from start to finish.
