Hello. I'm Jay Johnson, family man, father of 4, owner and operator of Phoenix Remodel LLC. I've been working in multiple areas of the construction and remodeling industry for over a decade. After working as a company man for so many years, I realized that I'd be able to offer a considerably better value than the big name companies I was working for while providing the same quality craftsmanship. This inspired me to start my own company over 4 years ago. Capable, honest, driven. Bringing anew from the old, Phoenix Remodel.
"Phoenix Remodel was wonderful to work with. Jay and crew were remarkable in the care and commitment they brought to the job. They adapted to unexpected circumstances and came up with solutions that are really improved the rooms. They were very respective of my time and home. I will refer them to friends and would use them again."

"It wasn't timely. He hires cheap labor that does everything but isnt good at anything. The framers were hacks using broken lumber in spots. Sheetrock cracked and needed repair ( which they did) the new shower was installed without specialized mounting clips and the flange on shower walls were cracked. The shower door did not function and when I went to fix it, the hanging hardware fell off. New flooring throughout the house including the new addition. The new addition subfloor wasn't screwed correctly which resulted in a reinstall. In the old part of the house, the subfloor was not prepped properly causing the vinyl plank to bow and crack. Jim refused to fix. Jim's crew forgot to put a vent on roof so water came into house and collapsed the bathroom ceiling. ( He did take responsibility and fix that) overall very disappointed with someone that claims to do quality work. If I could rate lowerI would."

"My experience with Handyman Connection was terrible. I will never utilize them again and caution others that are considering them. I had a exterior painting project that was quoted in May 2024 and the project was not completed until late September due to the poor work and damages that were caused to my gutter system that I found after they were “finished”. No workers came and informed me of the damages. So when the worker’s came to me to come and take a look at their work I found half my house was painted in a different color than the other half! Eight sections of my gutter system were damaged and needed to be replaced and my brown garage door was now a shade of purple! To top things 25% of the surfaces that were to be painted and included in the original quote was never painted! I was also not informed of this by the workers and found this out when I questioned them. I spoke to Management about my concerns and there was no rush to remedy the situation and no consideration to reducing the quoted price at all. They also left paint on a number of my windows and door frames and when you have bronze frames and beige paint splattered on them it is very obvious to the eye but no effort to remove those spill/drips. I could go on with the issues that I had but I will end by using a very popular saying “Caveat Emptor” or Let the Buyer Beware! They have some good reviews but I certainly do not have anything good to say about the service and the outcome I had with them. I will say the workers themselves were very nice but that’s as much as I can say nice about my experience."

Sewer line replacement typically costs between $50 and $250 per foot. The price depends on the material you choose and the complexity of the project. PVC pipes are more affordable, while copper pipes are more expensive. Factors like trenching requirements, how accessible your sewer line is, and labor rates in your area also affect the overall cost per foot.
A sewer sleeve is a method used to repair cracks or holes in existing sewer pipes without excavation. Professionals employ a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining technique, where an epoxy-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe to seal defects. This minimally invasive process avoids digging up your yard and is more cost-effective than replacing the entire pipe, extending the life of your sewer system.
Most newer homes use PVC and ABS piping because they're durable, have smooth interiors that prevent clogs, and are affordable. If your home is older, your pipes might be made of copper, Orangeburg, clay, cast iron, or even lead. It's important to have a plumber inspect your piping before handling it, as some older materials can contain toxic substances.
You can look for several signs to tell if your sewer pipes are damaged. Persistent clogs and frequent sewage backups are common indicators of a problem. Sudden increases in utility bills may signal a leak, while sulfur smells suggest sewage is not properly contained. Additionally, noticing sewage in your yard points to a possible sewer line break that requires immediate attention.
While not all plumbing work requires a permit, any work involving a sewer line is almost guaranteed to require permits in every town or city due to sanitary concerns and biohazard risks. Your plumbing pro can handle permits, or you can call or apply for a permit online at your city’s building department.
A clogged sewer line is generally not covered by standard homeowner's insurance policies. Insurance often excludes damage resulting from regular wear and tear or neglect. However, if the clog is due to sudden and accidental damage, such as tree roots infiltrating the line, some policies may offer coverage. It's important to review your policy or speak with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.
