"Sharon showed up, quickly related to our needs and built a tailored, affordable proposal. Production department came in, jumped to work, promptly serviced any inquiries, and finished with a quality installation."
"West Shore did a great Job. They installed a shower at another home of mine so I already knew of their craftsmanship and product. This is why I had them do my home. The in home visit was quick and easy, since I knew what I wanted. Prices have increased a little but that's to be expected with the world now and the cost of materials. I feel that with the amount of work the installers, Trevor T. and Kris G. did was worth every penny. They were on time, professional and did an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier. Taking my old original bathroom from 1993..yes 1993 to 2021...So you know there were some issues they had to address. Great company, great product, great customer service so far. With the warranty which I hope to not have to use I feel this is a great product and Company."
"I am pleased with their service. They were punctual, they had an opening and moved my install date to earlier. They were even willing to adjust their installation hours around my schedule. I am pleased with this company and would hire them again. Looking forward to the savings on my energy bills."
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."

"Excellent service for a virtual format. Would definitely recommend this very affordable alternative to the traditional technician having to come to your home to evaluate and fix a malfunctioning appliance."
"This is our 2d project with JES - a follow up really. The first project addressed the initial discovery satisfactorily. We now have the follow up. We are quite comfortable with this new effort because Chris Barefoot and Parren Felton took us through the diagnosis, suggested solutions and costs. Not just the costs for service but the impact costs. These are not-insignificant expernses and, as unsettling (pun intended) as the work is, I confident we picked the right company , and got a very fair price."
"BathPlanet did a wonderful job. I couldn’t be any happier. I used to be in the business myself and I will recommend them to anyone looking to get their bathroom redone. Great work guys."
"My installer was meticulous and paid attention to every little detail. He did excellent workmanship and had pride in his accomplishment. I love the results and was glad I had the shower enlarged and the ceramic is beautiful. It is a pleasure to take a shower."
"Even though the work took a little longer than promised, the installer did a wonderful job. He was very courteous and did his best to ensure the job was perfect. He even stayed until 9:30 pm to finish the job on a Saturday night. I would recommend Mark Levy and his team for any cabinet job. He also have a group of professionals if you need other work complete - ie: bathrooom countertop and facuet installations."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.
Dripping misters are a sign that the nozzles or holes in the tubing have some problems. Try flushing your system thoroughly. If that doesn’t help, examine each nozzle closely and clean them thoroughly with a brush, making sure the exit points are as smooth as possible. If this still doesn’t work, you may need to take off the nozzles entirely and soak them in water with a cleaning solution for a while. This is an important step if dust, mildew, or other gunk builds up in the nozzles.
Adding a shower to a half bath transforms it into a three-quarter bath. Compared to converting a half bath into a full bath, this type of conversion is a more affordable way to add functionality and accessibility. This project can add around 5% to 6% to the value of your home, especially if you only have one full bathroom or your only shower is on an upper level. This is a common upgrade for a ground floor when homeowners are hoping to age in place.
If you have to hold the toilet handle (also called the toilet lever) down to flush, you probably have a chain problem. A chain that cannot fully lift the flapper will close too early and not clear the toilet bowl. Try adjusting the chain length so there’s about ½ inch of slack.
The most common reasons a toilet won’t stop running are a faulty flapper or fill valve, improper fill height, or incorrect chain length. Luckily, all these issues are relatively easy to fix with parts you can find at a local hardware store. You can also call a plumber or toilet repair professional to solve the problem.
