"I cannot say enough good things about this company. Joe did a fantastic job going over all of our options and explaining the entire process as well as what to expect. Bree was helpful and professional. The workers were quick, friendly and easy to talk to. They made sure to clean up at the end of each day and check in with me to be sure I was satisfied with their work before they left. Our son has special needs, and this bathroom remodel was to ensure he could become more independent in a safe environment. Alex made sure we added all of the needed safety features to ensure our sons safety was top priority. Our son is now able to shower on his own and he actually wants to get ready for bed! Before Living Baths, we had several quotes and sat down with other companies. Living Baths was the only company that we did not feel pressured to make a decision. Joe did not waste our time with phony gimmicks; he was upfront and personal from day one. Thank you all for everything!"

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Monterey, MA

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
