Replacing a toilet in your Rockville home involves more than just swapping fixtures. Jacob handles the full replacement: removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange and subfloor condition, setting the new toilet correctly, and testing for leaks. He leaves the bathroom clean.
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
Cost depends on the toilet type and whether flange or valve work is needed. 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 quote before starting.
Yes. Jacob will install a toilet you have purchased. If you ask before buying, he can confirm the rough-in measurement so you get the right unit.
Most toilet replacements take one to two hours including removal, flange inspection, and full installation.
Jacob handles shutoff, draining, and removal. Just make sure there is clear access to the bathroom for carrying out the old toilet and bringing in the new one.
Standard toilets sit 15 to 17 inches from floor to seat. Comfort height toilets, also called ADA height, sit 17 to 19 inches. Comfort height is easier for taller adults and people with joint or mobility issues. Jacob installs both.
A running toilet is usually a flapper, fill valve, or flush valve issue inside the tank. Those are repair parts that Jacob replaces in the same visit without swapping the whole toilet. If the bowl or tank is cracked, the flange is damaged, or the toilet is over 20 years old and wasting significant water, replacement makes more sense. He tells you which is the right call.
Toilet rough-in measurements vary. The most common is 12 inches from the wall to the center of the drain. Jacob measures the rough-in before you purchase so the new toilet sits correctly and you do not end up with a gap at the back wall. If you already bought one, he checks fit before starting.
Jacob handles the full replacement: removing the old toilet, replacing the wax ring, inspecting the flange condition, resetting and leveling the new toilet, and replacing the supply line. If the flange is cracked or low, he addresses it as part of the same job.
Nothing. Jacob shuts the water off at the supply valve, flushes to drain the tank and bowl, and disconnects everything. Just make sure there is clear access to the bathroom and a path to carry out the old toilet.
Call Jacob directly at (301) 395-3831. Tell him whether you are replacing or repairing, and whether you have the new toilet already. He serves Rockville and all of Montgomery County. MHIC #112963. Licensed and insured.
