Licensed General Contractor · Plumbing Done Right

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, the work is done right and 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: licensed plumbing work runs $125 per hour, and a $75 service call covers the visit and first assessment. Larger jobs — repipes, fixture packages, water heaters — get a flat quote from a free video estimate before anyone commits.

🚰
Faucets & Fixtures
