FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you upgrade in Andersonville homes?
We can replace or install virtually any residential plumbing fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, shower valves, bathtubs, toilets, garbage disposals, and laundry or utility sinks. If it carries water or drains water, our licensed plumbers can upgrade it to a newer, more efficient model.
How long does a typical fixture upgrade appointment take?
Most single-fixture swaps (such as a faucet or toilet) are completed in 1–2 hours. More involved projects—like converting a standard tub/shower to a pressure-balanced shower valve or relocating supply lines—may require half a day. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate during our free on-site assessment.
Can I purchase the fixtures myself, or do you supply them?
Either option works. Many homeowners choose fixtures online or from local showrooms and have them delivered to us or directly to the job site. If you prefer, we can source high-quality fixtures from our wholesale partners, often at better pricing than retail. In both cases we’ll verify compatibility with your existing plumbing before installation.
Do I need a permit for fixture upgrades in Andersonville?
Most straight replacements (e.g., faucet-for-faucet or toilet-for-toilet) do not require a City of Chicago plumbing permit. However, if the upgrade involves moving drain lines, altering vent stacks, or changing pipe sizes, a permit and inspection will be necessary. Our team handles all permitting and inspection paperwork so the project stays compliant with local codes.
What does a fixture upgrade usually cost?
Costs vary by fixture type and the condition of existing plumbing. As a guideline, faucet installations start around $175 (labor only), toilet replacements average $225–$300, and shower valve upgrades range from $450–$900. We provide a detailed, written quote after evaluating your space —no hidden fees.
What are the benefits of upgrading my fixtures now?
New fixtures offer water-saving technology, improved reliability, and modern aesthetics that can boost home value. Low-flow faucets and EPA WaterSense-certified toilets can reduce water bills by up to 30%. Additionally, updated shut-off valves and supply lines decrease the risk of leaks, giving you peace of mind.
