"Paul squeezed me in the same day as I called him. He fixed a broken toilet and we are having him come back for additional plumbing work. He is easy to get a hold of and communicate with. He explains everything and his costs are great. We will continue to use him in the future!"

"Very professional tub to shower conversion. Existing drain was updated to meet code and existing plumbing lines and new shut-off valves were relocated. Great start to our bathroom remodel project."

"Salesman was informative, had brochures to explain the product. Pre-construction meeting was helpful to ask detailed questions. Installers arrived on time, put down drop cloths, removed shoes and cleaned up, for the most part. I had 2 showers replaced two months apart (due to mold issues) - first one finished in a day, second one took 2 half days due to a previous owner's plumbing issue. Five Star arranged for plumbing inspections day of and final one after completion. There were a couple of shower head and faucet issues for the first project but Five Star was very responsive to me and got them settled quickly (I recommend making sure you have the installers check out the equipment before they leave!). Price was comparable to other bids. Overall a good experience."

Customers say: True professional

"I cannot say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Andy and how thrilled I am with the finished result in my kitchen. I collected a number of recommendations from friends for other contractors, whom I met with - but, I am so glad I went with Andy. From the start, his communication was exceptional. He gave me a very realistic (and ultimately accurate) timeline and I always knew exactly who was going to be working in my house on what days. No surprises what-so-ever, and when there were some minor unexpected plumbing issues once he opened the walls, Andy set up a time to discuss options with me and presented me with multiple solutions depending on my preferences and budget. There are SO many decision to be made for a large project like this, and as a first time homeowner, I was a bit overwhelmed at first - but Andy did an incredible job guiding me to quality suppliers for materials and helping me through the process all along the way. I never hesitated to ask if I had a question and Andy always took the time to respond and explain things in a way I could understand. Andy did a lot of the work himself, but his sub-contractors were also superb. Despite the fact that my kitchen was completely torn up, the house stayed surprisingly clean, they always left the site in great condition at the end of the day and were very respectful of my time and space. Even though the job was completed a few months ago, Andy has stayed available to me as I have had one or two silly little questions come up - he's been quick to respond and make sure I am satisfied and have the information I need. Andy's pricing and estimate upfront was clear and straight-forward and again, no surprises or anything questionable on that. Very fair cost for the quality of work and professionalism. I will be doing additional work (bathroom remodeling) in the next few years and would not go with anyone else besides Andy & Scott's Home Renewal. Photos are taken from different angles - but it is the same kitchen :)"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Homeowners consistently underestimate the depth of the local frost line, which requires extensive excavation for underground plumbing work. Residents also overlook strict municipal permit requirements for standard tasks like water heater replacements. You must factor in coordination time with the city of Johnston to access the street-side main water shutoff. Plan your spring projects in late winter to secure a licensed contractor before peak demand causes long scheduling delays.

Helpful?

Your home's soil composition and the deep frost depth in Johnston make underground plumbing projects complex. Clay-heavy soil expands and contracts, which shifts pipes. Additionally, older properties feature galvanized steel lines that require special handling. Modifying basement plumbing requires working around existing sump pits and drain tile systems to prevent drainage conflicts. Always consult a licensed contractor to navigate these local challenges and secure the required municipal permits.

Helpful?

Completing plumbing projects significantly improves your daily comfort and protects your home from severe IA winters. Insulating pipes in unconditioned spaces prevents burst lines during freezing temperatures. Upgrading your water heater ensures consistent hot water when cold groundwater enters your system. Adding whole-home filtration systems directly addresses seasonal nitrate spikes in the local water supply, providing high-quality drinking water. Upgrading your sump pump also prevents basement water intrusion during spring snowmelt.

Helpful?

Address any signs of pipe sweating or minor leaks in uninsulated spaces immediately before temperatures drop in November. You must also resolve failing water heaters and sump pumps before Johnston experiences harsh winter freezes or heavy spring snowmelt. Conversely, you can schedule interior fixture upgrades or basement rough-ins during off-peak seasons. Always schedule exterior plumbing work between late spring and early fall to avoid digging through deeply frozen ground.

Helpful?

Cross-linked polyethylene is the premier choice for interior supply lines because it expands under freezing conditions without cracking during severe IA winters. For underground drains and sewer lines, use heavy-duty polyvinyl chloride to meet state code requirements. When replacing water service lines from the municipal main, select durable copper. Always install properly insulated water heater connections to maintain efficiency against cold incoming groundwater. A local professional will ensure full code compliance.
