Licensed General Contractor · $1M Insured

Plumbing — Handled by Your General Contractor

Book plumbing through the same call as everything else in your house. Chagrin Valley Handyman is a licensed general contractor — we handle most plumbing ourselves and bring in a licensed plumber where the job calls for it, billed transparently at $125/hr and backed by $1M in insurance.

One Call, Properly Handled Work

Plumbing is trade work, and it should be treated that way. Chagrin Valley Handyman is a licensed general contractor, so as your single point of contact we handle most plumbing directly — and where a job calls for it, we bring in a licensed plumber. Either way, you deal with one accountable contractor instead of a rotating cast of trades.

Why book through us at all? Because plumbing problems rarely arrive alone. The leaking supply line comes with a water-stained cabinet floor; the new vanity faucet comes with caulk, mounting, and a wall repair. One call sequences all of it — we handle the plumbing and everything around it, and bring in a licensed plumber for anything that requires one.

Billing is transparent: plumbing work runs $125/hr, and a $75 service call covers the first half hour. Larger jobs — repipes, fixture packages, water heaters — get a flat quote from a free video estimate before anyone commits.

Plumbing Work We Handle

Faucets & Fixtures
Kitchen and bath faucets, showerheads, and vanity fixtures — replaced and sealed, with the surrounding carpentry handled in the same visit.
Toilets
Running toilets, failing fill valves, wax-ring leaks, and full replacements — diagnosed and repaired.
Garbage Disposals
Jammed, leaking, or dead disposals swapped for correctly sized units, with the electrical connection handled as part of the job.
Valves & Supply Lines
Crusty shutoffs that won't turn, aging supply lines, and hose bibs — replaced before they fail, not after they flood.
Leak Repairs
Drips under sinks, pinholes, and mystery stains traced to their plumbing source and repaired — we bring in a licensed plumber where the job calls for it.
Fixture Upgrades
Vanity, sink, and tub-hardware upgrades where the plumbing, demo, mounting, and finish work are all handled as one coordinated job.
