In Hilltop
Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill.
Older homes in Hilltop often need a few small repairs at once, which is where an hourly or make-ready price keeps things simple.
In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
