“While the walls are open, should we replace the pipes?”

It's the right question, and the cheapest time to ask it.

A remodel is the one time your plumbing is easy to reach. Our plumbers rough in new supply and drain lines, move fixtures, add bathrooms and laundry rooms, run gas lines for ranges, then come back to set the finished fixtures.

We pull the plumbing permit and build everything to code, so it's ready when the inspector comes. We'll also flag old galvanized or failing pipe while the walls are open, before it's covered up again.

Remodel plumbing FAQs

Questions about remodel plumbing

Rough-in, timing and working with your contractor.

How much does bathroom remodel plumbing cost? +

It depends on how much moves. Keeping fixtures where they are costs far less than moving drains. Your plumber gives you a written price after a free in-home estimate, before any work starts.

What is rough-in plumbing? +

It's the stage where new supply and drain lines are run inside the walls and floors, before drywall and tile. Fixtures like faucets and toilets are set later, after the finishes are done.

Can a plumber do a bathroom remodel? +

We handle all the plumbing for a remodel, from rough-in to final fixtures, and we pull the plumbing permit. For tile, drywall and cabinets, you'll need a general contractor or remodeler, and we're happy to work alongside them.

Should I replace old pipes during a remodel? +

If they're galvanized, corroded or leaking, yes. With the walls already open it's far cheaper than coming back later. We'll show you what's there and let you decide.

Can I finance it? +

Yes. Financing is available through Wisetack on jobs of $500 or more. You can check your options from home in a couple of minutes. All financing is subject to credit approval.
