Installing a new shower head in your Rockville home is a straightforward job that makes a real difference every day. Jacob installs all shower head types from basic replacements to rain heads and handheld units throughout Montgomery County. He checks for leaks and proper water pressure before he leaves.
Rockville is the county seat with a wide mix of home ages and styles. Twinbrook homes from the 1950s and 1960s have different maintenance needs than newer Fallsgrove construction. Jacob works across that range.
Jacob holds MHIC #112963, Maryland's home improvement contractor license. Licensed and insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most shower head installations are quick jobs. Cost depends on the type and whether the arm or valve needs replacement. Jacob regularly works in Rockville and knows the range of home types from mid-century Twinbrook to newer Fallsgrove construction. Jacob gives you a clear number upfront.
Yes. If you have already purchased the unit, Jacob will install it and make sure everything is properly sealed and pressure-tested before he leaves.
A standard replacement takes under an hour. Rain head or dual system installations take one to two hours.
Low pressure after installation can mean a flow restrictor, a supply line issue, or mineral buildup in the valve. Jacob diagnoses and fixes the cause.
Look for a unit with silicone nozzles that can be wiped clean of mineral buildup and a solid brass body. Jacob installs any unit you select or can recommend models that hold up to the water conditions in Rockville.
If the shower head drips after the water is off, the issue is usually the head or the 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 pipe 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 leak after the new head goes on.
Yes. Jacob checks supply pressure at the fixture as part of every shower head installation. If pressure at the shower head is low but your home pressure is normal, the issue is usually a flow restrictor, mineral buildup in the valve, or a mismatched showerhead. He tells you exactly what he finds.
No. Jacob shuts off the water at the nearest valve before removing the shower head. You do not need to do anything beforehand. Just show him where the main shutoff is located in case the fixture valve is not accessible.
