"Forever Baths recently remodeled our bathroom and we’re very happy with the results! From start to finish, Chad was incredibly responsive to all my questions, providing clear and timely communication. In addition, the work was done at a fair price, which we greatly appreciated. The project included installing a bigger shower, reframing a closet and adding doors, and replacing the vanity. The new shower is not only beautiful, but we love our raindrop showerhead! The reframed closet and new vanity have significantly improved the overall look and utility of the space. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and efficient remodeling experience."

He let me know up front exactly how much everything was going to cost and I really liked that. Very affordable for the work being done. He did a great job cleaning up after the job was complete. He will be my go to plumber from now on and I will be recommending him to family and friends."

"Very polite salesman who went over the work choices we could do and gaves us several options to choose from and price quotes on each option. The workers were very friendly and hard working. They showed us what they were going to do as they went along in the process. That part was very interesting to see what they were going to do and we could ask questions as we went along then. We did the who outside drainage work and foundation waterproofed. Put in a new back up sump pump and did a whole perimeter drainage system and braced two walls. We were very impressed with the work and all the workers. I would recommend them to anyone."
"Craig and his crew are great. I first came to know of Happy Home Contracting when my father was battling a terminal form of cancer. I saw Craig's truck down the road and I needed some help remodeling parts of my father's house that had been deeply abused by renters. Craig was reliable, charged a fair price, and does really quality work. He helped recreate a bathroom upstairs that really previously looked like it was from a slum house. The final result was something beautiful, modern, open, and full of light. He is easy to work with. He is someone that I trust deeply. And someone you can feel good about talking through concerns or questions throughout the process."
The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
You should leave the water dripping when temperatures are below 20 degrees for three hours or longer or your power goes out in the winter. Leave the water dripping until temperatures are consistently above 20 degrees and you’ve checked for frozen pipes. With water movement in your pipes, ice is less likely to form, and your pipes are less likely to burst. The drip relieves pressure, preventing burst and leaking pipes.
Your baseboard heater usually should have a bleeder valve, but if not, look for air vents that bleed out the air automatically. If you cannot locate the bleeder valve on your radiator and it doesn’t feel warm even when the heat is turned on, call in a pro to have it inspected.
On average, it costs between $150 and $300 to fix a toilet that’s leaking at the base, including supply charges. If the flange is intact, the cost is between $150 to $200. If the flange needs to be replaced, you can expect an extra $50 or so. The actual price will depend on the hourly rate your plumber charges.
Depending on the layout of your bathroom, you may be able to replace a shower valve without removing the tile. The existing hole needs to be large enough to remove your old valve and fit your new valve. If the hole is too small, you’ll need to cut into the wall and remove some of the tile.
