"Do NOT use this company unless you want to be charged astronomically higher than what you should be. I had a furnace/air system put in and charged over 10,000 when unit itself costs a little over 3,000. Had pipes in kitchen alone done and charged 2,800 and left the wall out from floor to ceiling where pipes went. Now 5 years after purchasing this unit tried to charge me $800 for a part repair that was under warranty so that was for labor alone went elsewhere and had done for $180. They take advantage of people that aren’t knowledgeable on what stuff like this should cost. Don’t appreciate repeat customers and you will never pay a fair price avoid at all costs."

We are determined to provide a professional home remodeling/renovation service to our clients providing a high quality finished product, over-communication and cleanliness. We wont sleep until those are accomplished.
"It's hard looking for the right person to do anything handy in your home, let alone a major three-bathroom remodel. I met with four contractors before I chose Louisville City Handyman (LCH), one whose reputation deemed them experts in remodeling 100-year-old homes in my neighborhood. Their quote was very close between LCH, but what sold me on LCH was how the contractor, Keenan, communicated with me during the quote assessment, and I am so glad I decided to move forward with him. Keenan was highly communicative, ALWAYS punctual, showed up every day (for over three months), gave up-to-date updates every week, cleaned up after every shift, and on top of all that, he was really pleasant to be around. I work from home, so we interacted daily. His creative problem-solving skills amazed me. He has this great ability to provide the highest quality of work even when something unexpected comes up, which often happens in houses as old as mine. He focused on delivering my vision, never looking for shortcuts or the easy way to do things. For most people, the longer they're in business, the more they lose integrity in their work. As the years go by, I'm certain that won't be an issue for LCH. I caught Keenan standing back and looking at what he and his team had accomplished after completing the job. People like him and companies like Louisville City Handyman are rare these days. I would, and have, recommended them to everyone. As we continue to remodel our home, LCH will be top of mind."

Rainwater recycling systems reliably provide service for 15 to 30 years. If you opt for high‑quality tanks made from fiberglass or concrete, you can extend their operational life even further. On the other hand, rain barrels typically last no more than 15 years because exposure to UV rays and harsh weather conditions degrades their material over time. Knowing this difference can help you choose the right system for your long‑term water collection needs.
Contractors install a cistern system by first selecting the method that matches your site's requirements. For above‑ground installations, they position the cistern beneath your downspout to capture direct runoff. For underground installations, they excavate the area, position and route the cistern for water distribution, and then seamlessly connect it to your home's plumbing. A final inspection confirms that the system delivers water efficiently for both irrigation and household use.
A cistern functions by gathering rainwater from roof runoff via gutters and downspouts or from water seeping naturally into the ground. It stores the collected water in a durable tank that supplies water for irrigation, household plumbing, and other applications. Integrated filtration and distribution systems then ensure that the stored water is delivered safely and efficiently for various uses.
You can store rainwater as long as the water quality is maintained and the storage container remains intact. When used for landscape irrigation, your stored water remains safe as long as you prevent algae growth through regular cleaning. For potable use, proper treatment and durable, non-degradable containers can secure the water indefinitely. This approach ensures that your stored water remains usable until it's replenished by new rainfall.
The amount of rainwater you can collect depends on the size of your collection surface and the rainfall intensity. For every inch of rain on a 1,000‑square‑foot roof, you can collect between 550 and 630 gallons of water. If your roof is this size and you receive half an inch of rain, your system can produce an average of 225 gallons.
Yes, harvesting rainwater is cost‑effective because it provides you with continuous access to water without recurring expenses. While there's an initial investment, you'll offset that cost through long‑term savings on your water bills. With the stored water supporting your landscape irrigation, household water needs, and even domestic uses with proper treatment, this efficient system enhances your home's sustainability and reduces your utility costs.
