Toilet Repair in Hill, NH
Hill is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 62% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
In Hill, 90% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. At 62% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Hill’s housing suggests
About 62% of homes in Hill predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
