"I don't give 5/5 stars on a review often, but I was extremely impressed with the work LR Higgins did on a water damage project on my house and would not hesitate to hire them again. Dean was our project manager and did an excellent job. We had damage internally from water that had seeped behind our siding which resulted in deck rot (because flashing wasn't previously applied correctly) and internal wall damage in the basement. The 3-man team that worked on the project was detail-oriented and focused on doing the job "right" rather than doing it quickly (which I greatly appreciated) but also did their best to make the exterior work blend and match the rest of the siding so it would not stand out like a sore thumb. The cost was reasonable for the work done and I felt like the work was high quality. I had unsuccessfully contacted 3 other companies for estimates before contacting LR Higgins and either wouldn't get my calls returned or they didn't show up for the estimate. Eric Higgins was very responsive via email, called me back after I left my first message about the issue, and I was in contact with him via email several times during the project. He always responded. I would definitely recommend this contractor group and use them again for work on my house."

"They showed up on the day they said they would and completed the project on schedule. We had a few problems with the boiler shutting itself off and requiring a manual reset. They were very responsive with their troubleshooting and eventually found it was a problem with the pressure in the gas line. They installed a regulator and it's worked perfectly ever since. <br /> I'd hire them again, and I go out of my way to recommend them to friends and family. <br />"

"Was a very tough job as the pipe was in a very tight spot. She had to call for additional pieces to be delivered. The job took approximately 5 hours. The only reason I'm giving it an overall B was the cost. Be warned that if the job runs past 4:30 you are charged an overtime rate. I unfortunately was told about 1/2 hour before she would get into Overtime and it was a job that had to be done since we only have one bathroom in our house. They also charge you from the time they leave the warehouse. Their prices are higher for labor than others. So if price is no big deal to you, I highly recommend. However, if price matters, I wouldn't recommend."

"We had many issues with our boiler for a long time that had become extremely serious.  We had our regular maintenance company come out several times to fix the issues but with no luck.  They still charged us though!  Everyone we asked for quotes to fix the issues said we had a leak in our boiler and needed to replace it.  Mainely Plumbing were the only ones who figured out what was really going on and saved us a great deal of money.  Without using them we would have replaced the boiler and then had to do all the work they did anyway.  <br /> We have also used them for regular maintenance since with good results.  <br />"

"I received my radon results in a timely manner. I did not hire them specifically, (so, I cannot say I would hire them again) the local company contracted them for this service. The home inspector I hired, handled this service for me and included the results in his report."

FAQs for plumbing installation for a remodel or addition projects in Lewiston, ME

Adding bathroom plumbing to a detached garage starts with the basic line installation cost of $900 to $1,300. On top of this base expense, you'll need to budget for each fixture. A toilet costs  $250 to $550, sinks cost $150 to $800, and a shower or bathtub costs $400 to $1,900. The project will also require ventilation, moisture-resistant materials, and possibly electrical work. Remember that these costs reflect only the plumbing aspects—additional construction, finishing, and permitting expenses will apply to complete a functional bathroom space.

While certain aspects of garage renovation might be suitable for DIY enthusiasts, plumbing installation requires professional expertise. Connecting to water and sewer systems demands specialized knowledge and equipment, and improper installation can result in severe water damage, code violations, and potential health hazards. Most municipalities require permits for plumbing modifications, and these often stipulate that licensed professionals must perform work. Consider limiting your involvement to simpler tasks like painting or basic finishing work.

The timeframe for adding plumbing to a detached garage spans one to three days for the actual plumbing work. However, this represents only the active installation period. The complete project timeline must account for planning, obtaining permits (which can take weeks depending on your locality), coordinating multiple contractors if needed, and addressing any unexpected challenges that arise during installation. Weather conditions can also impact excavation and outdoor connection work.

Adding plumbing to a detached garage will likely increase your property taxes. Tax assessors consider plumbing an improvement that enhances property value and functionality. The specific tax impact varies by location and project scope. Converting a garage into living space with plumbing facilities can trigger significant reassessment in many jurisdictions. Before proceeding with your project, consult your local tax assessor's office to understand the potential tax implications and factor this ongoing expense into your decision-making process.
