"I wasn't able to select all of the work that Bedford Builders did, but I am delighted with the work they completed for my 227-year-old house... kitchen renovation, master bath, 36 windows replaced, but so much more as this old lady needed a lot of structural work. I appreciated the attention to detail and the daily communications. I felt like I knew what was going on, good, bad, or indifferent. I have had several major reno projects done in the past. This one is top of the list based on the process and the results."

"We recently hired Custom Construction Services LLC for an interior painting project in my home, including painting our kitchen island cabinets, and installing 2 doors and an attic vent. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Derek took time to go over our plans, provided us with sound advice when needed, and sent estimates promptly. He was in constant communication throughout the whole process. Derek accommodated our last-minute requests, adjusted our quotes, and promptly addressed our questions or concerns over the phone. Derek’s team was incredibly professional and punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. They took great care to protect my floors, ensuring that everything was covered and safe from any paint splatters. Their attention to detail was impeccable; every wall (including ceiling and trim in some rooms) and cabinet was painted with precision, leaving no streaks or missed spots. Clean-up was thorough, leaving my home spotless and the walls, especially our kitchen island cabinets, looking absolutely stunning. The final result exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for top-notch interior painting services, I highly recommend Custom Construction LLC. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Thank you, Derek and team, for transforming my home with such beautiful results! We’re sure to hire them again for our next project."

FAQs for water heater service projects in Bristol, RI

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.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
