FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for plumbing fixture replacements in Karns?
Transparent pricing means you see exactly what you are paying for before any work begins. We provide an itemized written quote that lists labor, materials, taxes, and any permit fees. There are no hidden add-ons, surcharges, or after-the-fact “trip fees.” If the scope of work changes once we remove the old fixture (for example, we discover damaged piping), we stop, show you the condition, and give you a revised price so you can approve or decline the extra work in writing.
How much does a typical plumbing fixture replacement cost?
Costs vary by fixture type and quality. In Karns, our average price ranges are: • Standard bathroom faucet: $190–$275 installed • Kitchen sink faucet: $225–$325 installed • Toilet replacement (standard 1.6-gpf model): $365–$525 installed • Standard 40-gallon water heater: $1,100–$1,450 installed, including haul-away Prices include the new fixture, all basic supplies, labor, testing, and cleanup. High-end designer fixtures, relocation of supply lines, or major valve upgrades will increase cost, but you’ll see the exact figure on the written quote before we begin.
What kinds of fixtures can you replace or install?
We handle virtually all residential plumbing fixtures: kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves and trim, bathtubs, utility sinks, outdoor hose bibbs, and both tank-type and tankless water heaters. If you’re unsure whether a fixture can be repaired instead of replaced, we’ll inspect it first and advise you on the most cost-effective option.
How long does a replacement appointment take, and do I need to be home?
Most single-fixture replacements take 1–2 hours once we arrive, although water heaters often require 3–4 hours for draining, removal, installation, and code testing. We schedule two-hour arrival windows. Someone 18 or older must be present to approve the work and sign completion paperwork; after that, you may leave, and we’ll lock up when finished if requested. We’ll text you 30 minutes before completion for peace of mind.
Do you offer warranties on your fixture replacements?
Yes. All new fixtures come with the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–10 years). In addition, we provide our own two-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks, loose fittings, and installation-related issues. If a covered problem arises, call us and we’ll repair or replace the fixture at no labor cost. This warranty is fully documented on your invoice—no fine print.
How do I schedule service, and what happens during the estimate visit?
Call, text, or use our online booking form to schedule a free on-site estimate. A licensed plumber arrives, inspects the current fixture, checks water-pressure, shut-off valves, and drain configuration, then helps you choose a new fixture if you haven’t already purchased one. You’ll receive an on-tablet quote showing parts, labor, and total cost. If you approve, most replacements can be done on the same visit because our truck stocks common fixtures; otherwise, we schedule the work at your convenience. Payment is due only after the work passes your inspection, and we accept cash, check, credit, and contactless payments.
