FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Palmer homes and businesses?
Our licensed plumbers can remove and install virtually any water-using fixture found in a Palmer property. That includes kitchen and bathroom faucets, drop-in and undermount sinks, toilets, bidets, shower valves and trim, tub spouts, showerheads, garbage disposals, laundry and utility sinks, hose bibs, and shut-off or angle-stop valves. We also handle specialty items such as touchless faucets and low-flow toilets that meet the newest efficiency standards.
How do I know when a fixture needs replacement instead of another repair?
A replacement usually makes more financial sense when a fixture shows any of these signs: • Cracked porcelain, corroded metal, or pitted chrome that can’t be polished out. • Recurrent leaks even after new cartridges, gaskets, or flappers are installed. • Parts are obsolete or hard to find, driving up repair costs. • Water-saving performance is far below today’s standards, raising utility bills. • Upcoming remodeling or code upgrades make it logical to install a modern unit. As a rule of thumb, if the cost of repairs exceeds about 50 percent of the price of a new fixture, we recommend replacement.
Do I have to purchase the new fixture myself, or can you help me select one?
Either option works. Many Palmer customers like to choose fixtures online or at a local home-improvement store and have us install them. If you prefer, we can source fixtures for you through our wholesale suppliers. We’ll discuss style, finish, water-efficiency ratings, and budget, then present curated options. Because we buy in volume, our pricing often beats retail, and the products arrive with full manufacturer warranties.
How long will my water be shut off during a typical fixture replacement?
For straightforward replacements—such as swapping a faucet, toilet, or shower valve—your water is usually off for only 15–30 minutes while we disconnect and reconnect the supply lines. The entire job often takes 1–3 hours. Larger projects, like replacing a soaking tub or relocating plumbing lines, can take half a day or longer, but we coordinate with you so any water interruptions are as short as possible.
Are permits required for fixture replacements in Palmer, and who handles them?
A like-for-like swap (for example, replacing a faucet or toilet in the same location) generally does not need a municipal permit in Palmer. However, if the work alters drain, waste, or vent piping, relocates water lines, or adds new shut-off valves, a plumbing permit and inspection are required. Our team knows the City of Palmer and Matanuska-Susitna Borough codes and will secure all necessary permits and schedule inspections at no extra hassle to you.
What will a fixture replacement cost, and do you offer warranties?
Cost depends on fixture type, brand, and site conditions, but these ballpark figures can help: faucet replacements typically run $200–$500 installed, toilets $350–$700, and shower valve bodies $600–$1,200 including drywall repair. We provide a firm, upfront quote before work begins. All installations come with a one-year labor warranty, and most fixtures carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime. If we supply the fixture, we handle any warranty claims on your behalf.
