Toilet Repair in Windsor, PA
In Windsor, about 67% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 23% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
Tenure in Windsor is close to even, at 77% owner-occupied and 23% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. At 67% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Windsor’s housing suggests
Roughly 67% of housing here predates 1990 and 18% was built from 2000 onwards, so Windsor has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.

Checking a plumber in Pennsylvania
Checking a credential in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no state license for plumbers. Its Department of Labor and Industry states it has no jurisdiction and keeps no records of which municipalities require one, so the only reliable answer is your own city or township. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
