FAQs
How does your transparent pricing work for toilet upgrades or replacements in Lake City?
Before any work begins, our technician performs a no-cost on-site evaluation, then presents a written, line-item estimate that lists labor, materials, permit fees, disposal, and sales tax separately. You see exactly what each component costs, with no bundled or hidden charges. We lock in that price for 30 days, so you can decide without pressure. If the scope changes—for example, if we discover a cracked flange that must be replaced—we discuss the new item and get your approval in writing before proceeding.
What is the average cost range to replace a standard toilet, and what factors influence the price?
In Lake City, most standard toilet replacements run $475–$825 out the door. The price varies based on: • Toilet style (two-piece, one-piece, wall-hung, smart/bidet combo) • Flush technology and water-efficiency rating (1.6 gpf vs. 1.0 gpf or dual-flush) • Flooring or flange repairs that may be required • Distance to the main clean-out (affects labor time) • Permit requirements for remodels The estimate you receive lists each of these variables so you can see where you may want to upgrade or save.
Can you help me choose a water-efficient toilet that meets Lake City plumbing codes?
Absolutely. All new installations must meet the Washington State WaterSense 1.28 gpf standard or better. We stock EPA WaterSense-certified models from Kohler, Toto, and American Standard. During the consultation, we gauge rough-in size, bowl height preferences, and any accessibility needs, then provide literature and performance data. You pick the model; we guarantee it complies with local codes and submit any required documentation to the city for you.
How long will my toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward swap in the same location usually takes 1.5–2.5 hours. The water to that bathroom is off for about 30 minutes; the rest of your home’s water stays on. If we need to repair the subfloor or move the flange, the project can extend to 4–5 hours. We schedule arrival windows and text you en route. Most customers have a fully functioning new toilet before lunchtime.
Do you remove and dispose of my old toilet, and is that cost included?
Yes. Hauling away and eco-responsible disposal of the old fixture are included in every quote. We separate porcelain for recycling when possible and handle any hazardous wax-ring debris according to county guidelines. You won’t see a surprise disposal fee on your invoice.
What warranties and guarantees do you offer on toilet upgrades and replacements?
We provide a 2-year labor warranty that covers installation defects and leaks. Manufacturer parts warranties range from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the model; we register your product and supply the paperwork. If any covered issue arises, we fix it at no charge. Plus, our "Transparent Price Promise" refunds the difference if you find an identical licensed, bonded, and insured service in Lake City for less within 15 days.
