Aces Highlands handles fixture installation for homeowners throughout Hallowell. We work out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, a short drive into Kennebec County, so response times stay quick and every job benefits from knowing the local housing stock and code requirements.
Aces Highlands installs plumbing fixtures with precision and care. From kitchen faucets to bathroom toilets, we make sure everything is properly connected, tested, and leak-free.
We install all types of residential plumbing fixtures including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, and tub fillers. We work with fixtures you have purchased or can help you select the right option.
Proper fixture installation requires attention to detail — correct supply line sizing, secure mounting, proper drain connections, and thorough leak testing. We take the time to do it right so you do not have problems down the road.
Upgrading your fixtures can improve water efficiency, reduce your water bills, and update the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Pair new fixtures with updated lighting to complete your kitchen or bathroom refresh. We handle the plumbing side so you can enjoy the results.

Hallowell Homes and What They Need
Hallowell's median home was built in 1938, with 57 percent of the city's housing dating before 1940 and 64 percent before 1960 -- the oldest stock of any of the four Kennebec towns Aces serves. Much of downtown and the residential blocks around it fall inside the Hallowell Historic District, listed on the National Register since 1970 and covering roughly 450 buildings, about half of them built before 1865. A rewiring job in that district usually means working carefully around original plaster and trim while still bringing the electrical up to code.
Water Supply and Drains in Hallowell
The Hallowell Water District supplies the city's water from gravel-packed wells located in neighboring Chelsea, not from wells within Hallowell itself, while sewer service runs through the Greater Augusta Utility District's plant in Augusta. Hallowell sits right on the Kennebec River, which has a documented history of spring flooding that has disrupted downtown businesses more than once. Homes closer to the river benefit from a sump and drainage check as part of any plumbing inspection.
Getting to Know Hallowell
Hallowell's first European settler, Deacon Pease Clark, arrived from Massachusetts in 1762, and the city takes its name from Benjamin Hallowell, a Boston merchant and one of the Kennebec Proprietors who backed its early development. Between 1783 and 1901, the city launched roughly 50 ships from its Kennebec wharves, part of an economy that also leaned on granite quarrying and ice exports.
In 1875, Hallowell became home to the Maine Industrial School for Girls, the state's first reform school for girls, which stayed open into the 1970s. Downtown still shows off its 19th-century commercial architecture, anchoring a historic district that gives Hallowell one of the best-preserved old riverfronts on the Kennebec.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Hallowell job to a call center. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.

Fixture Installation: Faucets, Toilets & What Fails First
Fixture replacement is usually the most visible plumbing work in a home, and also where a rushed installation shows up fastest — a faucet that wiggles, a toilet that rocks, a drain that was never quite sealed right.

Codes & Permits for Fixture Installation in Hallowell
In Hallowell, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Hallowell Code Enforcement Office (1 Winthrop Street, Hallowell, ME 04347, (207) 430-4405 (office) / (207) 446-0316 (cell)). With 2,570 residents, Hallowell is under the 4,000-resident line at which Maine requires a town to enforce MUBEC. The city is bounded by the Kennebec River, which historically produced regular spring flooding that disrupted downtown commerce.

How Aces Highlands Handles Fixture Installation in Hallowell
- 57% of Hallowell's housing predates 1940 (median year built 1938), so before quoting a fixture installation we find out what's actually in the walls — galvanized, cast iron, early copper or PEX.
- Hallowell Water District supplies most of Hallowell from gravel-packed wells in Chelsea; we handle everything downstream of that meter, fixture by fixture.
- Anything that needs a permit gets one through the Hallowell Code Enforcement Office, built to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Maine adopted in 2022.

This team was called in by my property management company for where I rent. Elijah and his team were professional, clear speaking. Good communicators gave me the real deal. Didn't give any runaround. I trust them and want to use them for my own projects.

I've had three HVAC issues over the past two years. Each time I call, Elija or the office picks up the phone, and my problem is fixed in 24 hrs. Their solutions always feel correct and honest. I cannot recommend them more.

Elijah and Highlands Heating & AC were super helpful! Boiler failed over the weekend and Elijah was very responsive and helpful, getting us up and running right away. I would recommend him at HH&AC highly!
Fixture Installation FAQs
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet for you to install?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures every week, and we are glad to advise on brands and configurations before you buy so the fixture fits your sink or rough-in. We can also supply the fixture if you prefer one-stop convenience.
How long does fixture installation take?
A straightforward faucet or toilet replacement usually takes one to two hours. Garbage disposals, shower valves, and installations where old shutoff valves or corroded connections need replacement can take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Should my old shutoff valves be replaced during a fixture swap?
Often, yes. Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years frequently seize or weep once disturbed. Replacing a worn shutoff during a fixture installation costs little while everything is already apart — and it means you can actually shut water off in an emergency.
Do new fixtures really lower my water bill?
They can. WaterSense-labeled faucets and toilets use 20-60% less water than older models — a pre-1994 toilet can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush versus 1.28 for a modern one. For a busy household, that difference shows up on the bill.
Will you try to upsell me on other plumbing work while you are here?
No. Aces Highlands is a local Portland company, not a franchise — nobody here works on commission. If we happen to spot a genuine safety or leak issue while working, we will point it out and let you decide. Otherwise we do the job you called us for.
