"We have an older home with older ductwork. We had Spencer and Brayton out and they cleaned and sealed our ductwork. They did a great job. Professional, great communication, attention to detail. They reduced our air leakage by 86%. We noticed an immediate difference in improved airflow, our cold spots are no longer cold spots. Thanks!"

"Jason did an amazing job on our new shower, tile, toilet and vanity. He was very polite and we couldn’t be happier with the skills he has. 10/10 he’s the guy to hire for your bathroom jobs. So affordable and was willing to work with our color schemes and schedules."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

It went really wonderful he was very professional, he was really good as I wanted to paint the bathroom before he would put the tiling up and of course the baseboard.  I know when he gave me his estimate it was good but the poor thing I kept adding more stuff for him to do.  But he never got upset he said he would do it and he did.  I was so thankful that I got him to do the work he also suggested things and I would go along with because his ideas were better not to say he forced his ideas on to me that was not what went on now he didn't  I'm a single woman and I have dealt with contractors and it hasn't been good as my boyfriend would be there and instead of talking to me they would talk to him and he would just have to tell them that I was the one  paying them they needed to talk to me.  Not once did I get that from Todd which I was so grateful for.  He always explained what he was going to do and it didn't matter how many questions I asked he would answer them.  All in All I plan to hire him again for my kitchen and look forwards to his help.

Toilets questions, answered by experts

A wax ring can often last the entire lifespan of a toilet, which is typically 20 to 30 years. However, it may need to be replaced sooner if it becomes damaged. Signs that your wax ring needs replacement include bad odors or leaks coming from the base of the toilet. The wax can also dry out, flake, or crumble if the toilet was not secured correctly upon installation or has become loose over time. If you notice your toilet wobbles, it's a good indication that the wax ring may be compromised and should be inspected to prevent leaks.

Plumbing installation costs in renovations typically range from $300 to $1,500 or more, depending on the complexity and specifics of the project.

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

A running toilet is not a plumbing emergency, but you will want to try some DIY fixes or call in a plumber to prevent wasting gallons of water. The three most common causes of a running toilet are a broken or dirty flapper, an incorrectly sized chain between the flush lever and flapper, or a float that is out of position.

The Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the busiest times of the year for plumbers. Both Thanksgiving Day and the day after, often called Black Friday or "Brown Friday" by plumbing professionals, see a significant increase in service requests. This is because a house full of guests, large holiday meals, and unfamiliarity with the home's plumbing can lead to clogged drains, garbage disposal issues, and sewer line backups. Outside of the holidays, the busiest weekdays for plumbers are typically Monday and Tuesday, as many people discover plumbing problems over the weekend but wait to call for service. Despite the holiday, you can rest assured that many plumbers work on Thanksgiving and Black Friday to handle the surge in emergency calls.
