Paradise Plumbing

Because the guy I used to use and liked retired. I'm not sure maybe somebody recommended Paradise but in any case, I called them out to do a job in 2014 or where about and he did the job satisfactorily. I had no reason to change.

Phoned Paradise for service Tuesday afternoon. Service was set for Wednesday morning, 9:30-10;00. Mr. Paradise e arrived on time, as scheduled. Quick and clean. About 3 hours total, with 2 trips into town, 3 miles one-way, for the parts. The service order was for the valve stem replacement. I added the shower-control change after he got here. This is my 3rd or 4th time to use Mr. Paradise. He's now my go-to plumber.

Water-heater replacement in garage (easy access for old unit removal and new unit installation) was clean, quick, and trouble-free, and Paradise carried off the old heater. Price was reasonable considering that a new same-size unit from Lowe's was just over $500. Paradise provided the new unit, and his invoice cost was a little over $600. The water leak in the supply line at the meter required a new washer, but that wasn't all of the leak. After a leak-finder outfit did its work ($350 for a the service call and a half-hour's work), the next leak was also in the supply line, just outside the foundation. Paradise dug up the line, replaced the frozen supply shutoff valve (which was an additional necessity I asked him to do), ran a new line underground some 20 ft, and installed a standing-up freeze-proof hose spigot. Paradise did all of the digging and filling, supplied all the materials, and completed the repair/installation satisfactorily. Total cost of the leak repairs in two sessions was $545, which I consider reasonable. Very happy with Paradise Plumbing.

Paradise's work was entirely satisfactory. No issues or leaks. Keith took away my old water heater. My cost for the new water heater was his cost and competitive with my local Lowe's, which would have been a special order because of the larger tank capacity, 65 gallons. His labor (one man for about 2 hours) was reasonable and about half, or less, than one competitive bid given to me by phone.
