FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and why should I consider upgrading?
A comfort-height (or chair-height) toilet has a bowl that sits 17–19 inches from the floor—about 2–3 inches higher than a standard toilet. The extra height makes sitting down and standing up easier, which can reduce knee and back strain for adults, seniors, and anyone with mobility issues. Upgrading can improve daily comfort, meet ADA guidelines, and add resale value to your Harriman home.
Are comfort-height toilets ADA compliant and suitable for seniors or people with disabilities?
Yes. Most comfort-height models meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement that the seat be 17–19 inches high. This makes them popular among seniors, taller users, and individuals recovering from surgery or living with arthritis or limited mobility. When we install your new unit, our technicians verify that the finished seat height—including the seat itself—falls within ADA parameters for maximum accessibility.
Will a comfort-height toilet fit my existing rough-in and plumbing connections?
In most Harriman homes, the answer is yes. The critical dimension is the rough-in distance—the space between the wall behind the toilet and the center of the floor flange. Common rough-ins are 10", 12", or 14". Comfort-height bowls are manufactured for the same rough-in sizes as standard units, so installation usually requires no changes to your drain line. Our plumber will confirm your rough-in, flange condition, and water-supply location during the site visit and recommend a model that matches them precisely.
How long does it take to replace a standard toilet with a comfort-height model?
A straightforward swap generally takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The process includes shutting off and draining the old toilet, removing and disposing of it, inspecting or replacing the wax ring and closet bolts, setting the new bowl, leveling and sealing it, connecting the tank, testing for leaks, and caulking the base. If the flange is damaged or the supply valve needs updating, add 30–60 minutes. We schedule most Harriman projects as same-day service, minimizing disruption to your routine.
What is the typical cost of a comfort-height toilet installation in Harriman?
Pricing has three parts: (1) the toilet itself ($225–$600 for most two-piece or one-piece comfort-height models), (2) standard installation labor ($180–$300), and (3) any extras such as flange repairs, supply-line upgrades, or disposal fees ($25–$95). On average, homeowners in Harriman spend $450–$850 total. We provide a written, itemized estimate before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you remove the old toilet and offer any warranties on the new installation?
Absolutely. Our service includes eco-friendly removal and disposal of your old toilet at no additional charge. We also back our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, and most manufacturers offer 5- to 10-year parts warranties on comfort-height bowls and tanks. If any leaks or installation-related issues arise within the warranty period, simply call us and we’ll correct them at no cost.
