The free water test

We test your TDS (total dissolved solids), chlorine and hardness for free and tell you what you actually need. Hard water? A softener. High TDS? Reverse osmosis at the sink fixes it. A lot of customers pair the two.

On a well? Houses on a well are a different story. We won’t try to sell you anything until we’ve done a full well water lab test, $485.

Softener or salt-free?

A softener removes hardness and gives you the slick, soft-water feel. A salt-free conditioner keeps the minerals but helps stop them from forming scale, with no salt to haul. If you want truly soft water, get a softener.

Water questions we get every day

Is the water test really free?

Yes. We test your TDS (total dissolved solids), chlorine and hardness for free. On a well? A full well water lab test is $485.

Do I still need RO if I get a softener?

A softener doesn’t lower TDS. If your free test shows high TDS, reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the fix.

Does a salt-free conditioner make soft water?

No. It does not remove hardness minerals. It conditions them so they are less likely to form scale.

Do you have financing?

Yes. Financing available through Wisetack, with 0% APR options up to 12 months.*

What areas do you cover?

Peoria, Cave Creek, Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Glendale, Anthem and the North Valley.

Seeing a price that seems too low? Some companies use loss leaders, a cheap price to get in the door. Some prices only make sense when nobody’s in the office and nobody answers the phone. With us, a live person answers, and you can text us too.

Kohler Highline two-piece elongated toilet

Toilet installs

From $265Kohler Highline supplied and installed: $685.Tap for details

Toilet installs start at $265, and the fancier the toilet, the more it costs. We’ve installed some for over $1,000. We’ll supply a Kohler Highline toilet with delivery, haul-away and everything else for $685. A Toto is $1,385. Or we can quote installing the toilet you already have. We warranty our work either way, and we only warranty the parts when we supply them.

Delta kitchen faucets in matte black and champagne bronze

Faucet swaps

$265 to $365Quoted by phone.Tap for details

$265 to $365 for most standard faucets, quoted by phone. Fancy or cut-out faucets get a written bid, because the work changes. A cluttered or dirty work area adds time, and we say so up front.

Delta R22000 shower valve and Moen 1222 cartridge

Shower and tub cartridges

$385 to $685Usually somewhere in the middle.Tap for details

Most standard shower and tub cartridges replaced by a professional run $385 to $685, usually somewhere in the middle. We quote on site because the valve, the brand and what’s behind the wall change the job. If the cartridge can’t be fixed, we can usually put in a new valve with standard trim for $785 to $1,250. Fancier trim is available, but it’s hard to quote online. We keep the common Delta, Moen and Pfister cartridges on our trucks and in our warehouse. Part of the price is being ready for the call and having the right parts on the truck when it matters most. We can special order just about anything fancy. If it isn’t one of those, expect a bid for the follow-up visit. Same-day isn’t realistic without a lot of driving around and extra cost, and that’s negotiable on site. We work on Delta 1300, 1400 and 1700 series valves, Moen 1222 and 1255 cartridges, Pfister Avante, Kohler and Symmons, including thermostatic and volume-control valves.
