"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."

"I recieved several plumbers from the Angis list. I needed a new hot water heater. Arthur Dipetrillo Plumbing and Heating was the first to call back. He asked me a few questions and then he asked me to send him photos of my water tank, including the detailed info on the labels from the front of the tank. I did. Within 15 minutes, he reviewed the information and responded with The MOST REASONABLE quote of all the companies that eventually returned my call! Made an appointment. Was on time! Excellent work, personable, explained everything about the new heater. Was certainly a pleasure to meet to work with!"

"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."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, but just how long your tankless water heater lasts depends on how much water you use, how well you maintain your water heater, and the water hardness level in your area. A unit that constantly has mineral buildup from hard water may have a shorter life span.

While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

While many older homes don’t need hot water heater expansion tanks, they’re necessary in most newer homes and are required by building codes. These tanks are required by code in areas where there are backflow preventers or pressure regulators on the incoming water pipe between the public water pipes and the water heater. However, tankless water heaters don’t require expansion tanks.
