FAQs
Do I need a plumbing permit for a bath remodel in Lookout Mountain?
Yes. Hamilton County (TN) and Walker County (GA) both require a plumbing permit for any remodel that involves altering supply or drain lines, relocating fixtures, or adding new plumbing. We handle the permitting process for you, including plan submittal, fee payment, and on-site inspections, so your project meets the International Residential Code (IRC) and local amendments.
How long does a typical bath remodel plumbing project take?
Most projects are completed in 3–7 working days once demolition is finished. A simple fixture swap can be done in a day, while full re-piping, relocation of drains, and custom shower installations may require a week. We provide a written timeline before work begins and coordinate with other trades to minimize downtime for your bathroom.
Can you reuse my existing tub, shower valve, or faucets?
If your current fixtures are in good condition, up to code, and compatible with new tile or wall systems, we can absolutely reuse them. We pressure-test valves, descale supply lines, and install new trim kits to give older fixtures a fresh look. If a part is discontinued or not water-efficient, we’ll recommend cost-effective replacements that meet EPA WaterSense guidelines.
What pipe materials do you recommend for Lookout Mountain’s climate?
We typically install PEX-A supply lines for their freeze-resistance in our mountain temperature swings, and schedule-40 PVC or ABS for drains. In homes with historic value, Type L copper can be used for exposed runs. All materials are NSF-certified, low-lead, and backed by 25-year manufacturer warranties.
How much will my bath remodel plumbing cost?
Budgets range widely: • Fixture swap (toilet, vanity, faucet) – $900–$1,800 • Tub-to-shower conversion – $2,500–$4,500 • Full gut with re-piping – $4,500–$8,000+ We provide a free on-site estimate that breaks down labor, materials, permit fees, and optional upgrades like heated floors or rain-head showers. Financing plans and itemized change orders keep costs transparent.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance after installation?
All labor is warrantied for 2 years, and most fixtures carry manufacturer warranties from 5 years to lifetime. We schedule a complimentary 6-month check-up to ensure there are no leaks or settling issues. Annual maintenance packages—drain inspection, aerator cleaning, and water-pressure testing—are available to extend the life of your new bathroom plumbing.
