Remodel plumbing in Lee & Collier County
Every remodel has a plumbing plan behind it, whether anyone talks about it or not. Getting it right means the new sink drains, the shower has pressure and nobody has to open a finished wall to fix a mistake.
- Kitchen remodel plumbing: sink, dishwasher, disposal, pot filler, refrigerator water line and gas or water changes.
- Bathroom remodel plumbing: toilets, vanities, tubs, showers and valves.
- Moving supply and drain lines: relocating fixtures to fit a new layout.
- Fixture rough-in: setting pipes and valves at the right spots before walls close.
- Fixture installation: setting the finished toilets, faucets, showers and sinks. See fixtures.
- Upgrades during demolition: new shutoffs and supply lines while the walls are open.
We're a Florida state-certified plumbing contractor (license CFC1429748), an owner-led family business with licensed plumbers.
Plan the plumbing before demolition
The best time to call a plumber is before the first cabinet comes out. Layout choices drive plumbing choices, and plumbing limits drive layout choices.
- Share the plan. A sketch, drawing or designer's layout is plenty.
- We look at what's there. Pipe material, slab or crawl space, drain locations and access.
- We tell you what's easy and what's hard. Moving a sink a few feet is simple. Moving a toilet across a slab is a bigger job.
- You get an upfront price for the plumbing scope before work begins.
- We schedule around the other trades, so we are not holding up the project.
Call before demolition. Estimates are free.
Moving plumbing lines: what's involved
Relocating a fixture means moving its supply and drain lines. Drains need slope to flow, so there are limits to how far and where they can go.
- Supply lines are flexible to route and are usually the easy part.
- Drain lines need slope and a vent. On a slab, moving a drain can mean cutting concrete.
- Walls and floors: we explain wall and floor access before we start.
- Older pipe: when walls are open and pipe is old, it's a chance to replace it. See repipe.
- Permits and code: remodel plumbing may require permits and inspections. We explain what applies to your job.
If a layout is expensive to plumb, we'll say so and suggest a simpler option where there is one.
Kitchen remodel plumbing
- Sink and faucet: new locations, deeper sinks, farmhouse and undermount styles.
- Disposal and dishwasher: connections, air gaps and drains.
- Island sinks: need drain and vent solutions that we plan before the floor is finished.
- Refrigerator ice and water lines and filtered water faucets.
- Water filtration: an under-sink or whole-home filter. See water filtration.
A kitchen is the hardest-working room for plumbing. We build the connections to last through years of daily use.
Bathroom remodel plumbing
- Showers and tubs: valves, drains and the waterproofing handoff to your tile contractor.
- Toilets: flange height and position, which matter for floor changes.
- Vanities: new faucet locations, double sinks and drain alignment.
- Walk-in and curbless showers: drain depth and slope planning.
- Tub-to-shower conversions: changing drains and valves.
We test every line under pressure before the walls are closed up, so leaks are found when they're easy to fix.
We coordinate directly with your GC. Estimates are free.
Working with your contractor or on your own
We work two ways. Some clients hire a general contractor who brings us in. Others manage their own project, or do part of it themselves, and call us for the plumbing.
- With a GC: we coordinate schedules, inspections and rough-in dates directly.
- With a homeowner: we explain each step in plain language and tell you what to expect next.
- Both: an upfront price, clear scope and no surprise add-ons.
Builders and GCs can also read about our new construction plumbing.

Remodel plumbing mistakes to avoid
A few plumbing mistakes show up again and again in remodels. All are avoidable.
- Buying fixtures after rough-in. The valve or toilet you choose later may not match the pipe positions already set.
- Ignoring old pipe. New fixtures on tired galvanized or corroded lines can leak or lose pressure soon after.
- Skipping a pressure test. A leak found before the tile is set is a small fix. After, it is not.
- Forgetting access. Valves buried behind finished walls make future service harder.
- Underestimating drains. Moving a tub, shower or toilet means slope and venting, not just new pipe.
- Hiring last. Plumbing is scheduled early in a remodel, so a late call can delay the whole job.
A short conversation with us before demolition avoids most of these.
Upgrades worth doing while the walls are open
When a wall is already open, the plumbing work costs less labor than it would later. If any of these are on your wish list, now is the time to say so.
- New shutoff valves at every sink and toilet.
- New supply lines instead of reusing aged ones.
- Replacing old pipe in the open section. See repipe.
- A better water heater location or type. See water heaters.
- Water treatment at the kitchen or whole home. See water filtration.
- Extra access panels behind tubs and showers.
We'll tell you honestly which upgrades make sense for your home and which don't. You decide, with no pressure.
Remodel plumbing for condos, older homes and slab homes
Southwest Florida homes bring their own remodel challenges. A few conditions come up often.
- Slab homes: drain lines sit in or under concrete, so moving a toilet, tub or kitchen sink may mean cutting the slab. We explain that cost and any simpler layout before you decide.
- Condos: associations often have rules about work hours, shutoffs and approvals. We help coordinate with your building.
- Older homes: galvanized supply and cast iron drains are common. If they're in the work area, we show you their condition and give you options.
- Humid, coastal air: corrosion-resistant fittings and supply lines last longer in canal and beach areas.
- Well water: hard or iron-heavy water can stain new fixtures, so a filter or softener is worth discussing. See water filtration.
Tell us about your home and we'll plan the plumbing around it.
How long does a remodel plumbing job take?
It depends on the scope. A bathroom with fixtures staying in place needs far less plumbing time than a kitchen with an island sink and new drain locations. Plumbing also happens in two visits, rough-in before walls close and finish after tile and cabinets are set, so the work is spread across your project schedule.
When we give you the upfront price, we also give you a realistic sequence: when we're needed, how long each visit takes and what has to be ready first. That lets you and your contractor plan the other trades around it. If the schedule moves, tell us and we'll adjust.
