What we see in Hermitage houses
A lot of Hermitage homes were built in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. That means original shutoff valves, supply lines, and water heaters are reaching the end of their life. Replacing them on your schedule is far better than dealing with a failure on a holiday weekend.
We also handle fixture upgrades for homeowners refreshing a kitchen or bath — new faucets, comfort-height toilets, and replacement shower trim.
