"Called for service at 9:00 AM was scheduled for 5:00 to 8:00 PM service. Service technician showed up just before 5:00 PM. Noted that the toilets would not drain and that blockage was between the house and the street. Notified me that the cost would be $344 + $69 Service Fee to "snake" the line from one of the roof vents. While I considered this at least double what this service should have cost I agreed. Within 20 minutes, the service was complete. Over $400 for less than 45 minutes work! I consider this exorbitant. I did receive a $25 Angie's List discount."

My name is Charlie Lopez. I am 39 years old and a Panama City native. I have worked with several contractors doing anything from pressure washing to tearing off and installing roofs. I am a fixer of things and problem solver by nature. My wife calls me the "safety inspector". lol. I enjoy being of service and I take pride in my work. And most importantly, I show up!
"It's easy to click the stars for all 5's for this company. They are top notch. They are on time. They are extremely professional. They are rightly priced. They are exceptionally great overall. Had 5 toilets installed (we bought them from Lowes, but we hired paradise to install them) in less than 3 hours...hauled the old ones away. Cleaned up all mess. Could not ask for more. Highly recommend!"

Yes, many services include removing and disposing of old toilets. Confirm with your provider.
Replacing a toilet costs between $275 and $480 in most cases, and the average cost sits around $375. This includes removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet. Your price could be significantly higher if you invest in a high-quality brand, need the replacement done on an emergency basis, or replace your toilet as a part of a larger bathroom remodel that demands additional work.
Yes, you’ll need to replace your toilet’s wax seal any time you move the toilet. This is because movement of the toilet will break the seal, rendering the remaining wax useless. Thankfully, replacing a wax seal is fairly easy, and the seal itself only costs $2 to $10 at most home improvement stores.
When replacing a wax seal you typically also have to replace the closet bolts that secure the toilet to the flange. These are usually about 2.5" - 3" long and have to be cut once the toilet is secure. Cutting them usually makes them too short to reuse.
After flushing the toilet, you should have about half a tank full of water. While the exact amount of water you’ll have will vary, you want to make sure you have enough to cover the bottom of the bowl and enough to sit above the P-trap drain. While low water in your toilet bowl can indicate a problem, too much water can also be cause for concern.
Whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted toilets are better comes down to personal preference.
Overall, standard floor-mount toilets are less expensive to purchase and install, but they don’t offer the streamlined, modern appearance and adjustable height of wall-hung toilets. Ease of cleaning should also be considered, as wall-hung toilets are easier to clean than standard models.
