Can you work with my contractor and designer?
Absolutely! We regularly collaborate with contractors, designers, and homeowners on remodel projects. We review plans to ensure plumbing feasibility, provide rough-in schedules that align with your timeline, coordinate with other trades to avoid conflicts, return for finish work when you're ready, and communicate clearly with your entire team. Many contractors and designers work with us repeatedly because we're reliable and easy to coordinate with.
Do I need permits for fixture installation and remodels?
Simple fixture replacements (like-for-like) typically don't require permits. However, permits are required for bathroom or kitchen remodels with layout changes, relocation of water or drain lines, gas line work, adding new fixtures, and work that affects structure or walls. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance for remodel work. Permitted work protects your home value and ensures safe, compliant installation.
How long does a bathroom or kitchen remodel take?
For plumbing specifically: rough-in work takes 1-3 days depending on complexity, and finish fixture installation takes 1-2 days after tile/cabinets are complete. Total remodel timelines vary - simple bathroom refreshes take 1-2 weeks, complete bathroom remodels take 3-4 weeks, and full kitchen remodels take 4-8 weeks. We coordinate our schedule with your contractor's timeline to keep projects moving efficiently.
What fixtures brands do you recommend and install?
We install all major brands and work with you on selection. Popular quality brands include Kohler (good value and reliability), Delta (excellent warranties), Moen (solid mid-range choice), American Standard (budget-friendly), Grohe (European quality), and luxury brands like Brizo, Hansgrohe, and Rohl. We recommend fixtures based on your budget, style preferences, and quality needs - and we warranty our installation regardless of brand.
Can you help me choose the right fixtures?
Yes! We provide expert guidance on fixture selection including feasibility of your choices with existing plumbing, pros and cons of different styles and brands, budget-appropriate recommendations, water efficiency and performance considerations, and installation requirements and costs. We've installed hundreds of fixtures and can help you choose options that look great, function well, and fit your budget.
What's included in bathroom remodel plumbing?
Complete bathroom plumbing includes relocating or adding water supply lines, installing new drain and vent lines, rough-in work during construction phase, fixture installation (toilet, vanity, shower/tub), valve and shower control installation, proper waterproofing coordination, pressure testing and inspection, and final connection and testing of all fixtures. We handle everything from rough framing to final adjustments.
Do you install luxury and specialty fixtures?
Absolutely! We regularly install high-end fixtures including digital shower systems with multiple controls, rain showers, body sprays, and steam functions, freestanding tubs with floor-mount fillers, pot filler faucets and bar sinks, touchless and commercial-style faucets, smart toilets and bidet seats, and custom tile shower systems. We have extensive experience with luxury fixtures and take extra care with high-end installations.
