Plumbing Updates for Chicago Homes

The fixtures you touch every day, replaced and working properly: faucets, toilets, vanities, shower valves, shutoffs and hookups, with licensed plumbers for the work behind the wall.

Plumbing updates

Small plumbing jobs, done like part of a remodel

A new faucet, a toilet that finally stops running, shutoff valves that actually shut off: these are quick jobs that most homeowners put off because the plumber minimum feels steep. We bundle them, do them cleanly and leave the cabinet dry and tidy.

For anything that moves drains or supply lines, such as a tub-to-shower conversion or a new basement bath, a licensed plumber on our team handles the rough-in and the permit while we build everything around it.

  • Faucets, toilets, vanities and sinks installed
  • Shutoff valves and supply lines replaced
  • Shower valves, trim kits and handheld sprays
  • Disposals, dishwasher and laundry hookups

How it works

A simple, straightforward process

Remodeling should feel exciting, not stressful. Here is what working with us looks like.

01

Consultation

We talk through what you want, look at the space and ask the questions that change the price.

02

Line-item estimate

You get a written proposal with labor and materials priced separately, so you see where the money goes.

03

Build

We protect your home, keep the site clean and send you updates as each phase finishes.

04

Final walkthrough

We go through every detail together before the last payment. If something is off, we fix it.

Questions

Plumbing FAQ

Do you do small plumbing jobs on their own?

Yes. Faucets, toilets, valves and vanities are common single-visit jobs, and they cost less when you group a few together.

Is your plumbing work licensed?

Fixture replacement is done by our crew. Work that moves pipes or needs a City of Chicago plumbing permit is done by a licensed plumber on our team of trades.

My shutoff valves do not close. Can you replace them?

Yes, and we recommend it before any fixture swap. Quarter-turn valves are a quick upgrade that saves a flood later.

Can you install a fixture I bought myself?

Yes. Send us the model before the visit so we can confirm it fits and bring the right parts.
