"i didn't hire directly.  they came via a home insurance company referral to look at a problem.
they were solid.  liked the guy who came out.  he tried his best to get our water heater replaced by the water heater company, but ultimately they would only pay for a replacement, at which point i cut my losses and hired someone else - b/c the water heater was 19 years old and it would have been a temporary fix.

"Brandon did an excellent job.  Arrived on time, Quickly assessed the work that needed to be done and estimate of costs, and also provided explanation of additional work that might have to be performed if problems were found with the flooring and sewer line/toilet connection (fortunately none were found).  Brandon was affable and highly efficient, completing the entire project in under 3 hours-including the time spent picking up the new toilet at the warehouse a fair distance from my home.  He was well skilled at the work and did a good job cleaning up after the job was completed.    Those that think the cost ( $800.00) is too high are living in fantasy world.  You get what pay for.  The cost included the new toilet, toilet seat, and water inlet was more than worth it to me.  I've done this kind of repair in the past.  It would have taken me 3 hours just to pick-up the new toilet and I'd still be working on installing it.  I would not hesitate to hire this company in future.

"Greg is an outstanding inspector who helped us pull an offer from the first home we tried buying and helped us pull the trigger on buying the second. His work has helped us prioritize what needs to be done first, and postpone optional upgrades (we bought a 100-year-old house). He is a master of understanding the house's structural integrity, safety hazards, and moisture/water control. I would highly recommend him and our agent has already started recommending him regularly. If you are looking for the most thorough, straight-shooting, no-nonsense inspector, Greg is your guy. We also got a nice PDF outlining everything that is super easy to read while being incredibly detailed."

"Great! Daniel was quite a bit late from another job and didn't do a good job communicating that (I had to call the office to get updates). However, once he arrived, he did a great job of (1) listening to what the problem was, (2) talking me through my options, (3) providing an emergency fix so that we wouldn't have to live without hot water for the weekend. Estimated price seemed high, but in the right ballpark. For the second visit, Daniel was on time, did all the work in the expected time, and came in below his estimate. He was helpful and answered all my questions and showed me how to plumb the drain. Altogether, quite pleased."

"Tony took my call on a Thursday night -- quickly helping me to assess if my hot water heater was dead, trying to save me an unnecessary visit if possible. Once we determined I likely needed a new tank, he gave me both an immediate and next-day option. To save money, I chose the next day option, and Dustin and Jordan were great when they arrived the next morning! They quickly confirmed that my hot water heater was in fact dead, and they provided me with some options so I could choose the best approach, understanding both the issues and my budget. They were efficient, professional, very knowledgeable and delightful to work with. I'd absolutely call Danika in the future."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.
