I really appreciated him keeping me informed. I am so proud of the finished projects. Thank you Darell and Hill Country Tub and Shower for top quality products and workmanship."

"The business saw and noticed the damage gutted out half the bathroom and replaced the damaged floor and then replaced the tub and shower. They blended all new work done perfectly into anything that wasnt replaced."
"It went very well. Despite the fact that I live in Tennessee and this company is in Boston, they helped me a great deal. I can't remember what I actually paid them, but it seemed reasonable for what I got: unlimited access to the decorator's assistance. I had already chosen some of the elements needed for my bathroom remodel, but got bogged down over colors/curtains/light fixtures at the end. I just needed some help in tying everything together. Their decorator (Amanda Zettel) and I worked mainly through Pinterest; I made a board of my bathroom, using pictures of what I'd chosen already, and she sent me links to items that she thought I would like in categories that I needed. We also talked over the phone several times, and emailed, too. I believe Homemade Design will also help you with vendors and purchasing, though I didn't use that service. Amanda did send me to some new websites, and I chose my bathroom lights from one of them. Amanda helped me choose the finish, the shades, and the placement of the fixtures, which I love. They are unique and charming - thanks, Amanda! She also sent me several names of paint colors to chose from for the bath. Because of the variations in computer screen colors, some people might not be comfortable with this, but I wanted to be the one who actually picked the color. I just felt a little overwhelmed at the huge selection, so Amanda was able to narrow my choices to a range that I could live with. The color has been up on my wall for over a month now, and I'm very happy with it. All in all, this was a very good experience, and I will definitely use Jeff and Amanda's help again!"
"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."
An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.
A water pressure regulator, also known as a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), is typically located near the main water shut-off valve where the main water line enters your home. Common places to check are basements, utility areas, or outside near the water meter. The device is usually bell-shaped. Its purpose is to control the water pressure coming into your home from the public supply, protecting your pipes, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. If you can't find a regulator, your home might not have one. In cases of high water pressure, installing a PRV is recommended.
Almost all plumbers have emergency service options and 24/7 numbers you can call for service during off-hours like in the evening. But be careful before you dial: Plumbers will charge extra fees for off-hour services, even if the cost isn’t quite as high as a weekend visit. Expect to pay around 1½ times more than the usual rates for plumbers in your area for off-hour calls.
Baking soda and vinegar is a great solution for cleaning your sink drain; in fact, it’s our preferred method. Here’s how to unclog your drain with baking soda and vinegar: Pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar, and let the two bubble for 15 minutes. Then rinse out with boiling water. This method is much safer than using a chemical drain cleaner gel.
Most homeowners pay between $150 to $500 to replace their frost-free faucet. It depends on the type and the brand. For a lower-end model, you won’t pay much more than the cost to replace a standard outdoor faucet. For a higher-end model, you could end up paying twice as much. Either way, installing a new frost-free faucet can lead to long-term savings by preventing damage to frozen pipes.
