FAQs
How does your transparent upfront pricing work for toilet upgrades and replacements in Vonore?
Before any work begins, our technician inspects your existing toilet, measures the rough-in, and discusses your needs (comfort height, water savings, smart features, etc.). You then receive a written, line-item quote that lists the exact fixture cost, labor, standard parts, tax, and haul-away fee. The price you authorize is the price you pay—no hidden charges for travel, overtime, or “surprise” materials. If an unforeseen issue is discovered (e.g., subfloor rot, flange damage), we stop, show you photos, and give an updated quote so you stay in control of the budget.
What types of toilets can you upgrade or replace?
We service and install virtually every residential and light-commercial toilet style available in Vonore: two-piece, one-piece, chair-height, wall-hung, skirted, dual-flush, pressure-assist, smart bidet toilets, and ADA-compliant models. We carry trusted brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber, and can special-order specialty colors or designs. If you already purchased a toilet, we’re happy to provide installation-only service with the same upfront pricing model.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will I be without a bathroom for days?
A standard replacement—removing the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax ring, setting the toilet, connecting the supply line, and testing for leaks—takes about 1.5–2 hours. Even with optional upgrades like a bidet seat or new shut-off valve, most projects are finished the same visit. Your bathroom is usable as soon as we’re done testing, so downtime is minimal. Complex jobs involving subfloor repair or flange relocation may extend to half a day, but we’ll tell you that in advance.
Do you haul away the old toilet and job debris?
Yes. Responsible disposal is included in every replacement quote. We wrap the old porcelain to protect your home, load it onto our service vehicle, and recycle or dispose of it at an approved facility in Monroe County. You won’t have to wrestle a heavy fixture into your trash cart or pay an extra landfill fee.
Can you help me choose a high-efficiency toilet, and will it really save money?
Absolutely. High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—up to 20 %–60 % less water than older 3.5-gpf models. For an average Vonore household of four, that translates to roughly 11,000 gallons saved per year, trimming $60–$80 off your water bill. We’ll present options with MaP flush-performance scores, explain rebate opportunities from TVA-connected utilities, and size the model to your bathroom’s rough-in, clearance, and aesthetic goals.
What signs indicate I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Replacement is often the smarter choice when you notice: • Hairline cracks in the tank or bowl (risking catastrophic leaks). • Frequent clogs despite professional augering. • Wobbling because of flange corrosion or subfloor damage. • Constant refilling or hard-to-find leaks that run up your water bill. • Outdated 3.5-gpf or larger models that fail current efficiency standards. • Cost of parts (tank lever, flush valve, fill valve, gasket kit) approaches 50 % of a new toilet. Our tech will outline the pros and cons of repair vs. replacement so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.
