FAQs

What plumbing fixtures can you replace cost-effectively in Charleston homes?

We handle faucets, toilets, sinks, showerheads, tub fillers, garbage disposals, laundry valves, and outdoor spigots. Because we stock many popular models locally and maintain strong supplier relationships, we can usually offer several price tiers—from budget-friendly builder’s grade fixtures to mid-range and premium options—so you can choose the solution that best fits your budget without sacrificing reliability.

How do you keep fixture replacement affordable without compromising quality?

1) Volume purchasing: We buy fixtures in bulk from trusted manufacturers, which lowers unit costs. 2) Streamlined labor: Our licensed plumbers use flat-rate pricing and arrive with fully stocked trucks, reducing travel time and hourly charges. 3) Upfront estimates: You receive a written quote before work begins, eliminating surprise fees. 4) Right-sized solutions: We recommend replacing only the components that are truly worn out, and we reuse existing shut-off valves or supply lines when they’re still in good shape and code-compliant. 5) Warranty coverage: Quality parts reduce the likelihood of callbacks, keeping overall costs down for both you and us.

Are there rebates or incentives in Charleston for installing water-saving fixtures?

Yes. Charleston Water System periodically offers bill credits for EPA WaterSense-certified toilets and showerheads. Some utility companies in the Lowcountry also provide rebates on high-efficiency faucet aerators. We stay current on available programs and will help you complete the paperwork; many rebates range from $25 to $150 per fixture, further lowering your net project cost.

How long does a typical fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off?

Most single-fixture replacements—such as a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours. Complex jobs like a double-vanity or a tub/shower valve swap may run 3–4 hours. We only shut off water to the affected area, not the entire house, and usually for less than 30 minutes. We coordinate with you ahead of time so there’s minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Do you offer warranties on the fixtures and the installation work?

Absolutely. All fixtures we supply come with the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 1–5 years depending on the brand. In addition, we back our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty. If a fixture we installed leaks or malfunctions within that period due to installation error, we return and fix it at no charge.

How can I tell whether I should repair or replace an old plumbing fixture?

Consider replacement when: 1) the fixture is more than 10–15 years old; 2) parts are discontinued or repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new unit; 3) chronic leaks are causing water damage or high utility bills; 4) the finish is corroded or stained beyond cleaning; or 5) you want improved efficiency and updated style. Our technician will inspect the fixture, outline repair vs. replacement costs, and help you make an informed decision.
