FAQs
Do I need a plumbing permit for a bathroom remodel in Tullahoma?
Yes. The City of Tullahoma requires a plumbing permit for any remodel that involves adding, relocating, or altering supply or drain lines. As a licensed contractor we handle the entire permitting process for you—submitting drawings, paying the city fee, and scheduling required inspections with the Tullahoma Codes Department. Securing a permit protects you by ensuring the work meets current Tennessee plumbing and safety standards and is recognized by your homeowners-insurance carrier.
How long does the plumbing portion of a bathroom remodel usually take?
For a standard hall bath (tub/shower, toilet, single vanity) rough-in and final plumbing generally take 3–5 working days. Larger master baths with multiple fixtures, custom showers, or relocated drains can take 1–2 weeks. The timeline includes demolition, rough-in, pressure testing, inspection, fixture setting, and final trim-out. We provide a detailed schedule up front and coordinate closely with your tile, electrical, and cabinetry trades to keep the entire remodel on track.
Can you move my toilet, shower, or sink to a new location within the bathroom?
Absolutely, but there are technical and cost considerations. Moving a fixture means rerouting both water supply lines and the larger drain/vent piping hidden beneath the floor or inside walls. In slab-on-grade homes we may need to saw-cut concrete; in crawl-space homes we work from below. We begin with an on-site evaluation to confirm structural clearances and venting options, then provide a fixed price before work starts. Relocating a toilet typically has the highest cost because of its 3–4″ waste line and required vent, whereas moving a vanity is usually less involved.
What pipe materials do you recommend for a modern bathroom remodel?
For water supply we use PEX-A tubing with manifold fittings. It resists corrosion, handles Tullahoma’s occasional freeze-thaw cycles well, and allows for fewer joints behind walls. For drain, waste, and vent we install schedule 40 PVC, the material adopted by the 2021 International Plumbing Code used locally. If your home still has older copper or cast-iron lines we can transition seamlessly with approved couplings, and we always insulate hot-water PEX runs to maintain temperature and reduce condensation.
How much does bathroom plumbing remodeling cost in the Tullahoma area?
Costs vary with scope, but local averages are: • Fixture swap-outs only (no layout changes): $1,500–$3,000 • Full gut with same layout: $3,500–$6,000 • Full gut with relocated fixtures or custom shower system: $6,000–$10,000+ Factors that affect price include fixture quality, accessibility of existing piping, concrete slab work, and any code upgrades (e.g., adding anti-scald valves). We provide a written, line-item estimate after the initial site visit so there are no surprises.
What steps do you take to protect my home during the remodel?
We treat your home like our own. Before demolition we lay down ram board and plastic sheeting along traffic paths, seal the bathroom doorway with a dust barrier, and shut off water only at planned times. During rough-in we place temporary caps on all open lines and conduct a 50-psi pressure test to catch leaks early. At project completion we flush lines to remove debris, set fixtures level and plumb, and haul away all construction waste. Every job ends with a walkthrough and a two-year workmanship warranty.
