FAQs
What types of plumbing fixture upgrades do you offer in Delano?
We replace and install virtually every common residential and light-commercial plumbing fixture, including faucets, sinks, showerheads, tub and shower valves, toilets, garbage disposals, dish-washer and ice-maker boxes, outdoor hose bibs, and laundry/utility sinks. We also upgrade trim kits, supply lines, shut-off valves, and drainage components so the entire assembly is code-compliant and performs like new.
How can new fixtures improve water efficiency and lower my utility bills?
Modern fixtures carry EPA WaterSense and California Title 20 certifications that limit flow rates without sacrificing performance—1.28 gpf toilets, 1.2 gpm lavatory faucets, and 1.8 gpm showerheads, for example. Replacing an older 3.5 gpf toilet with a WaterSense model can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons per year, which in Delano translates to noticeable savings on both water and sewer charges.
Do I need a permit for fixture upgrades in Delano, and will your team handle it?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps usually do not require a permit, but any work that alters drain, vent, or supply piping or penetrates the building envelope does. If a permit is needed, we prepare the application, submit drawings to Delano’s Building & Safety Division, pay the fees, and schedule the inspection so you stay fully compliant with local codes without lifting a finger.
How long does a typical fixture replacement appointment take?
Most single-fixture upgrades—such as swapping a kitchen faucet or toilet—take 1½–3 hours, provided shut-off valves are functional and no hidden damage is found. A full bathroom set (toilet, vanity faucet, shower trim) is usually completed in half a day, while whole-home fixture packages are finished in one to two days. We give you a realistic time window during the estimate and call ahead before arriving.
Can you match new fixtures to my existing décor and plumbing connections?
Absolutely. We carry and special-order fixtures in dozens of styles and finishes—matte black, brushed nickel, polished brass, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, and more—from leading brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard. Before installation we verify rough-in dimensions, supply types (PEX, copper, CPVC), and drain configurations to ensure the new fixture fits perfectly and complements your current design.
What does a fixture upgrade cost and how is the price determined?
Pricing is based on the fixture type, accessibility, any piping or wall repairs required, and whether you supply the fixture or choose one of ours. In Delano, labor for a basic faucet or toilet replacement starts around $185–$250, while premium installations with valve relocations or tile work can range from $400 to $800. You’ll receive a written, flat-rate quote before work begins, and we back every installation with a one-year workmanship warranty.
