FAQs
Do I need a plumbing permit for a kitchen remodel in Englewood?
Yes. The City of Englewood and Arapahoe County require a plumbing permit whenever supply or drain lines are added, moved, or replaced. The permit ensures the work meets the latest International Residential Code (IRC) and local amendments. Our team handles the application, plan submission, and inspection scheduling for you, so your remodel stays fully compliant.
How long does kitchen plumbing typically take during a remodel?
For an average-sized kitchen in Englewood, rough-in plumbing usually takes 1–2 days, followed by a 20–30 minute rough-in inspection. After cabinets and counters are installed, trim-out (installing the sink, faucet, dishwasher, and disposal) adds another 4–6 hours. If walls or floors must be opened to relocate pipes, add an extra day for demolition and re-pipe work. Overall, plan on 3–4 working days spread across the remodel timeline.
Can my existing water and drain lines be reused, or should they be replaced?
If your home’s copper or PEX supply lines are under 25 years old and sized correctly (usually ½" for branches, ¾" for mains), they can often be reused. Galvanized or polybutylene lines, however, should be replaced because they corrode or become brittle over time. For drains, 2" PVC or ABS is current code for kitchen sinks; older 1½" lines may clog frequently and should be upgraded. We perform a pressure test and camera inspection to determine the best approach.
What fixtures and materials work best with Englewood’s water quality?
Englewood’s municipal water is moderately hard (around 140–160 ppm). We recommend stainless-steel or solid-brass faucets with ceramic disc cartridges to resist mineral buildup. For instant hot water taps or ice makers, adding an under-sink carbon or reverse-osmosis filter will improve taste and reduce scale. If you notice spotting on dishes, consider a whole-home water softener; we can size and plumb the bypass loop during the remodel.
How much does kitchen plumbing for a remodel cost in Englewood?
Costs vary with scope, but averages are: • Replacing sink, faucet, disposal, and dishwasher on existing lines: $1,200–$1,800. • Moving sink or adding an island sink: $2,500–$4,000 (includes new venting and drain lines). • Full re-pipe of hot/cold supply lines to the kitchen: $3,000–$5,000 depending on access. • Permit and inspection fees: $75–$150. We provide a detailed written estimate after a free on-site evaluation.
Do you coordinate inspections and guarantee code compliance?
Absolutely. Our licensed Master Plumber pulls all necessary permits, meets with Englewood inspectors for rough-in and final sign-offs, and supplies you with a copy of the approval stickers for your records. We follow the 2021 IRC, IPC, and local amendments, including anti-scald valve requirements and high-loop or air-gap dishwasher drains. All work is backed by a two-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on fixtures.
