Plumbing

Plumbing — why homeowners choose us

• • Licensed & insured plumbers; COI for condos/co-ops on request
  • Clear scope and line-item estimate before we start
  • Code-compliant rough-ins and hookups for kitchens, baths, and laundry
  • Shutoffs, supply/return re-pipes, venting, leak tests, and isolation
  • Fixed milestones, protection of common areas, daily cleanup, punch-list handover

• • 2-year workmanship warranty

What’s included in a typical plumbing project

• Demo and cap lines; new shutoffs with accessible placements
• Rough-ins for sink, faucet, dishwasher, disposal, fridge ice line
• Bath groups: tub/shower valves, rain/handheld, pressure-balance/thermostatic
• Toilet, bidet seat prep (GFCI + angle stop), waxless seals
• Venting per code; trap arms at correct fall; cleanouts where required
• Laundry: pan, drain, hot/cold with hammer arrestors; condenser pump if needed
• Water filtration hookups; recirculation or balancing where applicable
• Testing: air/water pressure tests, camera check on request; finish hookups and silicone

On most projects we also review existing shutoffs, risers, and access panels so future service is easier. That can mean relocating valves to better positions, adding access doors behind tubs or showers, and labeling key shutoffs so you are not guessing during an emergency.

Kitchen and bath scopes are coordinated with tile and stone, electrical, and cabinet layouts so rough heights and locations land where fixtures, trim kits, and appliances actually sit. This reduces rework, avoids last-minute box-outs, and keeps walls and tile lines cleaner once finishes are in.

Timeline & permits

Minor swap/fixture set: 1–2 days · Kitchen rough-in + finish: 2–4 days · Full bath rough-in + tile + finish: ~5–10+ days depending on inspections and tile lead times

NYC work may require permits/inspections for new gas, waste/vent, or supply changes. We prepare documents, submit filings, and coordinate inspections. Official guidance: NYC Department of Buildings

Timeline is also shaped by building rules, shutdown windows, and access to risers or basements. Before we start, we confirm with management when water can be turned off, how much notice neighbors need, and what hours noisy work is allowed. That way rough-ins, tests, and finish hookups are planned instead of improvised.

When pressure tests or inspections are required, we build them into the schedule up front. This keeps walls and ceilings open only as long as needed, reduces the risk of failed inspections, and helps you move on to tile, paint, and cabinetry without long gaps in between.

Transparent pricing

• Fixture swaps — from $290: faucet, toilet, disposal or trap rebuild (standard access)
• Kitchen rough-in — typ. $1,490–$2,490: sink, DW, disposal, ice line, vent/stack tie-ins
• Bath rough-in — from $2,900: tub/shower valve, lavatory, WC, venting; pressure test
• Laundry hookups — from $1,190: pan, drain, supply with arrestors, shutoffs

Final cost depends on stack distance, wall type, inspections, tile sequencing, and fixture selections. Request a free estimate to get a fixed scope and schedule

During estimating we look for hidden variables that drive cost: old galvanized lines, undersized vents, unlined pans, or tight chases that need creative routing. You see clear line items for demo, rough-ins, tests, waterproofing tie-ins, and finish hookups so it is easier to decide where to invest and where to keep things simple.

We work with both client-supplied fixtures and full packages sourced through our suppliers. In each case we check valve compatibility, rough depths, and trim clearances before walls are closed to avoid surprises when bodies, trims, and glass show up on site.

Materials & systems we install

• Supply: type L copper, PEX-A with manifolds where allowed, brass ball valves, arrestors
• Drain/vent: PVC/ABS or cast-iron per building, solvent-welded and banded couplings
• Valves & trims: pressure-balance or thermostatic mixers, shutoffs with escutcheons
• Waterproofing: membranes for showers/tubs, properly sloped pans, silicone at penetrations
• Accessories: filtration, instant hot/RO hookup, bidet seats, laundry pans and pumps

We select materials around local code, building standards, and how the space will actually be used. That means using quiet, well-supported piping in shared walls, robust valves and trim kits with easily available parts, and drain assemblies that match the tile and pan systems chosen by your tile crew.

For long runs or multifamily stacks, we pay attention to noise and access by adding cleanouts where required and using acoustic wrap or cast-iron where building standards call for it. The goal is not only to pass inspections but to keep the system serviceable and quiet once you move back in.

Small NYC apartments

We optimize line routing in tight chases, use compact traps and offset drains for drawer bases, set wall-hung toilets for clearance, and coordinate tile cuts/escutcheons for clean sightlines. Noise and water hammer are handled with arrestors and acoustic wrap

In compact kitchens and baths we often combine smarter valve locations, slimmer carriers, and carefully placed access panels so storage stays usable. We also pay attention to neighbor impact in stacked buildings, planning shutdowns in tight windows and keeping noisy work within allowed hours.

Our process

1. Consultation & site visit. Fixture schedule, stack locations, budget ranges
2. Detailed estimate. Line-item scope, allowances, timeline
3. Permits & approvals. Board packet, DOB filings if needed, inspections
4. Build. Protection, demo/caps, rough-ins, tests, waterproof, finish hookups
5. Handover. Punch-list, warranty, care notes

From the first visit you work with a point person who tracks building rules, shutoff windows, and coordination with other trades. You get updates on which fixtures are live, which areas are under test, and when walls and tile can move ahead.

At handover we walk through fixture operation, shutoff locations, and basic maintenance so you know how to respond to small issues before they become bigger problems. You also receive notes on any legacy conditions we found and either corrected or flagged for future upgrades.

Most of our plumbing work is in occupied apartments, townhouses, and single-family homes, but we also handle smaller commercial restrooms, pantries, and staff areas where reliable fixtures and leak protection matter. If your property sits just outside these areas, send the address and we can confirm whether it fits our typical service radius.

Project photos show finished baths, kitchens, and laundry setups after walls and tile are in. Many include before-and-after shots and notes on stack relocations, pan upgrades, and fixture changes, which can help you see what is possible in a layout similar to yours.
