Toilet, Sink & Faucet Installation — Licensed Plumbers on the Gulf Coast

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a fixture I already bought?

Yes. We regularly install customer-supplied fixtures. Make sure the fixture is appropriate for your rough-in dimensions before we arrive — we'll tell you what to look for when you call.

I bought a faucet at the hardware store. How long will installation take?

A straightforward kitchen or bathroom faucet swap — no pipe movement, same-size holes — typically takes 30 to 60 minutes once we're on site. Older supply tubes that need replacing, corroded nuts, or cramped under-sink spaces can add time.

Can you replace just the shower trim and valve, or do I have to replace everything?

In many cases you can replace just the trim and cartridge without touching the valve body in the wall. This depends on the brand and whether replacement parts are still available. If the valve body itself is corroded or the brand has been discontinued, a full valve replacement is the right call — which does require opening the wall.

Do I need to turn off my water to have a fixture installed?

Yes — we shut off the water to the fixture or to the house depending on what we're working on. On most fixture replacements, supply is off for less than an hour. We give you a heads-up before any extended shutoff.

I have an older home with non-standard rough-in dimensions. Can you still install modern fixtures?

Usually yes, with the right fixture selection. Toilets come in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch rough-in sizes to accommodate most existing drain locations. For faucets and sinks, we'll measure your existing configuration before you buy anything to make sure you get the right fit.
