FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Monterey home or business?
We replace virtually every common plumbing fixture, including toilets, faucets, sinks, showerheads, tub or shower valves, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibs, icemaker and dishwasher supply lines, and even specialty items such as pot-filler faucets or utility sinks. Whether the job involves a straightforward swap-out of a worn part or a complete style upgrade, our licensed technicians can source the fixture for you or install one you have already purchased.
Will I need a permit to replace a toilet, faucet, or other fixture in Monterey?
For a like-for-like replacement that does not alter the plumbing configuration, the City of Monterey and Monterey County generally do not require a permit. However, if the work involves moving supply or drain lines, cutting into a wall, or replacing a tub/shower valve behind tile, a simple over-the-counter plumbing permit is likely needed. We stay current on local codes, secure any necessary permits, and ensure all new fixtures meet California’s stringent low-flow standards and Monterey Peninsula Water Management District rules.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most fixtures can be replaced in a single visit. A faucet or showerhead usually takes 1–2 hours, a standard toilet 2–4 hours (including wax seal replacement and leak testing), and a tub or shower valve 3–5 hours, depending on wall access. Old galvanized, corroded, or out-of-code piping may add time, but we’ll give you a realistic schedule before starting and keep you informed as the job progresses.
What will a fixture replacement cost, and can I get an upfront estimate?
Costs vary with fixture quality, location access, and any hidden issues like corroded shut-off valves. Typical turnkey prices (fixture + labor) run about $250–$450 for a new faucet, $350–$600 for a water-saving toilet, and $550–$900 for a tub/shower trim and valve set. We offer free on-site evaluations, present a written, line-item quote before work begins, and never start until you approve the price.
Can you install high-efficiency fixtures that meet Monterey’s water conservation requirements?
Absolutely. We stock and install EPA WaterSense labeled faucets (1.2 gpm), showerheads (≤2.0 gpm), and toilets (≤1.28 gpf or dual-flush). These fixtures satisfy Monterey Peninsula Water Management District mandates and may qualify you for local utility rebates. Our team will guide you through rebate paperwork and provide documentation for any required water-use inspections.
Do you offer warranties or follow-up service after the replacement is complete?
Yes. All our fixture replacements come with a one-year labor warranty, and many manufacturers back their products for 3–10 years (sometimes lifetime) against defects. If you notice a drip, reduced pressure, or any issue after installation, call us and we’ll return promptly at no charge. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans to keep your new fixtures performing like new and to catch small problems before they become big repairs.
