Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Head Installation
Most shower head installations are straightforward. Jacob quotes you before scheduling. Supply the fixture yourself or ask about options when you call.
No. Shower head installation is a standard handyman job. Property Renovators Handyman Services is licensed and insured in Maryland and handles it cleanly without needing to call a full plumbing contractor.
Yes. Jacob installs all types: standard fixed heads, handheld units, rain heads, slide bars, and combination systems. If the supply line needs adjusting, he handles that too.
A standard shower head swap takes 30 to 45 minutes. Adding a slide bar, diverter, or replacing a corroded arm extends the job to one to one and a half hours.
If the shower head drips after the water is off, the issue is the head or valve cartridge. If water pressure is low at the shower head but strong at other fixtures, the head or its flow restrictor is the first place to check. Jacob checks both before replacing anything.
Jacob uses the correct tools to back off old connections without torquing the arm inside the wall. On older homes with galvanized arms that have not been touched in decades, he tells you if the arm itself should be replaced at the same time to prevent a future leak.
Yes. Jacob checks supply pressure at the fixture as part of every installation. If pressure at the shower head is low but your home pressure is normal, the issue is a flow restrictor, mineral buildup in the valve, or a mismatched head. He tells you exactly what he finds.
No. Jacob shuts off the water at the nearest valve before removing the shower head. Just show him where the main shutoff is located in case the fixture valve is not accessible.
