In Tacoma
Tacoma is a port city with older Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods, plus waterfront and industrial areas.
Older homes in Tacoma often need a few small repairs at once, which is where an hourly or make-ready price keeps things simple.
Tacoma's older neighborhoods have homes from a long span of eras, so the first thing we look at is what pipe is actually behind the wall.
