FAQs
Do I need a plumbing permit for a bathroom remodel in Rockwood?
Yes. The City of Gresham (which serves the Rockwood neighborhood) requires a plumbing permit for any work that involves moving, adding, or altering supply or drain lines. Minor fixture replacements that do not change the piping may be exempt, but most remodels will trigger a permit. As a licensed plumbing contractor, we handle the permit application, inspections, and final approval to keep your project fully code-compliant.
Can I relocate my toilet, shower, or vanity during the remodel?
Absolutely. Relocating fixtures is common when homeowners want a better layout or need to improve accessibility. We evaluate floor joists, wall cavities, and existing drain locations to determine feasibility and cost. Because moving a toilet requires a new 3-inch waste line and vent, it is typically the most labor-intensive relocation. Showers and vanities are more flexible, but each move still requires rerouting water supply, drain, and vent piping to meet Oregon Specialty Plumbing Code (OSPC) clearances and slope requirements.
How long does the plumbing portion of a bathroom remodel usually take?
For a standard hall bathroom (single lavatory, toilet, and tub/shower), rough-in plumbing generally takes 1–2 days, followed by a city inspection. After drywall and tile work are complete, the finish plumbing—setting fixtures, installing trim, testing for leaks—adds another 1–2 days. Larger or more complex layouts, custom shower systems, or fixture relocations can extend the plumbing timeline to a total of 5–7 working days spread over the full remodel schedule.
What kinds of water-saving fixtures do you recommend for Rockwood homes?
We install EPA WaterSense-certified faucets (1.2 gpm), showerheads (2.0 gpm), and high-efficiency toilets (1.28 gpf or dual-flush) that meet both federal standards and Oregon code. These fixtures reduce household water use by up to 30 % without sacrificing performance. We can also add thermostatic mixing valves and pressure-balanced shower controls for scald protection and comfort.
How much does it cost to update the plumbing in a bathroom remodel?
Plumbing costs vary with scope: • Fixture replacements in the same locations: $2,000–$3,500 (labor, standard fixtures, permits). • Moderate remodel with minor relocations or a new shower valve: $3,500–$6,000. • Full layout change, custom shower system, or moving the toilet stack: $6,000–$10,000+. We provide a detailed line-item estimate after an on-site evaluation so you know exactly what’s included—materials, permits, inspections, and warranty.
Do you offer warranties on your bathroom plumbing work?
Yes. All labor is warranted for 2 years, and most fixtures carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime. We supply model-specific documentation and register products when applicable. If any workmanship-related leaks or performance issues arise within the warranty period, we return promptly at no charge to repair or replace the affected components.
