FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you install or replace in my McMinnville home?
Our licensed plumbers handle virtually every residential and light–commercial fixture, including toilets, faucets, kitchen and bathroom sinks, garbage disposals, tub and shower valves, showerheads, hose bibbs, ice-maker lines, dishwashers and washing-machine boxes. We can also install water-saving fixtures that meet Oregon’s current flow-rate standards and ADA-compliant products for improved accessibility.
Do I need a permit for a plumbing fixture replacement in McMinnville?
Many like-for-like fixture swaps (e.g., replacing a faucet with the same size/model) do not require a permit in McMinnville, but any work that alters the drainage, venting, or water-supply piping usually does. If a permit is needed we handle the paperwork with the City of McMinnville Building Division and schedule the required inspections, ensuring your installation complies with the 2021 Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code.
How long does a typical fixture installation take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as a faucet or toilet—are completed in 1–2 hours, while larger projects (e.g., replacing a tub/shower valve that requires wall access) can take half a day. If multiple fixtures are being updated at once, we can usually finish the job in a single visit, but we will give you a precise timeline after our on-site assessment.
Can you supply the new fixtures, or do I need to purchase them myself?
Either option works. We keep popular fixtures in stock from reputable brands like Moen, Delta and Kohler and can special-order designer pieces through our wholesale suppliers—often at better pricing than retail. If you have already picked out a fixture, just let us verify its compatibility with your existing plumbing; we will be glad to install it.
What are the signs that a fixture should be replaced rather than repaired?
Persistent leaks, cracked porcelain, corroded finishes, low efficiency (high water bills), outdated appearance, or difficulty finding replacement parts all point toward replacement. For example, a toilet manufactured before 1994 can use up to 3.5 gpf—replacing it with a modern 1.28 gpf model can save thousands of gallons of water each year in McMinnville’s tiered-rate system.
How much does fixture installation or replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
Basic labor for a standard toilet, faucet or disposal replacement in McMinnville typically ranges from $165–$325, not including the cost of the fixture itself. Prices rise when piping modifications, shut-off valve upgrades, wall/finish repairs, or permit fees are required. We provide a written, upfront quote after evaluating access, pipe material, condition of shut-offs, and whether any code upgrades (e.g., scald-guard valves) are advisable.
