FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a rain-shower head in my Englewood home?
Rain-shower heads provide a wider, gentler water flow that mimics natural rainfall, creating a spa-like experience. They can improve rinsing coverage, reduce shower time, and often include water-saving technology that meets Colorado efficiency standards. A modern rain-shower fixture also boosts bathroom aesthetics and adds resale value to your property.
Can you replace my existing shower arm, valve, and trim when installing the new rain-shower fixture?
Yes. Our licensed Englewood plumbers handle full fixture replacements, including the shower arm, flange, mixing valve, and decorative trim. We verify valve compatibility, ensure correct mounting height for overhead flow, and pressure-test the system before re-tiling or patching any opened walls.
How long does a typical rain-shower upgrade take from start to finish?
Most jobs are completed in one day. A straightforward swap of the shower head and arm can take 1–2 hours. If we’re relocating plumbing lines or upgrading the mixing valve, expect 4–6 hours. We schedule a free on-site assessment beforehand so you know the exact timeline and cost.
Will I need to upgrade my home’s water pressure or supply lines for a rain-shower head?
In most Englewood homes, existing ½-inch copper or PEX lines provide adequate flow. We measure static and dynamic pressure (ideal: 45–60 psi). If pressure is below 40 psi, we may recommend a pressure-boosting system or a low-flow rain-shower model designed for efficient performance at lower pressures.
What brands and finishes do you offer for rain-shower fixture replacements?
We carry Moen, Delta, Kohler, Hansgrohe, and Grohe—each offering sizes from 8-inch to 14-inch diameters. Popular finishes include polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and modern brushed gold. All fixtures meet UPC/IPC code and come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime.
Do I need a permit or inspection in Englewood for a shower fixture replacement?
Minor fixture swaps typically don’t require a permit, but if we alter concealed plumbing (e.g., moving supply lines or replacing the mixing valve), Englewood Building & Safety Services mandates a residential plumbing permit and inspection. We handle all permit applications, schedule inspections, and provide you with final approval documentation.
