FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your McMinnville team replace?
Our licensed plumbers can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including toilets, faucets, sinks, garbage disposals, shower valves, bathtubs, utility tubs, hose bibbs, and icemaker/washer boxes. We also install specialty fixtures such as touchless faucets, low-flow toilets, and pot fillers. If it delivers or drains water, our team is equipped to remove the old unit, make any required piping adjustments, and install the new fixture to code.
How do I know when it’s better to replace a fixture instead of repairing it?
A fixture is usually a good candidate for replacement when it is over 10-15 years old, parts are discontinued, chronic leaks or corrosion are present, water bills are rising, or you want better performance or aesthetics. Our technicians will inspect the fixture, explain its condition, and provide cost comparisons so you can make an informed choice between repair and replacement.
Do you offer eco-friendly or WaterSense-certified fixtures?
Yes. We stock and special-order a wide range of WaterSense-certified toilets, faucets, and showerheads that reduce water use by up to 30 % without sacrificing performance. We can also install hybrid water heaters, recirculation pumps, and smart leak-detection valves to further improve efficiency. Our team will review rebate options available to McMinnville residents to help offset upgrade costs.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as a faucet or toilet—are completed in 1–2 hours. More complex projects, like a tub/shower valve with tile demo or multiple fixture swaps, can take half a day to a full day. We schedule convenient arrival windows, protect your home with drop cloths, carry the new fixture in, haul the old one away, and perform a thorough function and leak test before leaving.
Are permits required for fixture replacements in McMinnville, and do you handle them?
In McMinnville and Yamhill County, simple like-for-like fixture swaps inside an existing bathroom or kitchen typically do not require a plumbing permit. However, if piping must be rerouted, new drains or vents added, or structural work performed (e.g., converting a tub to a tiled shower), a permit and inspection are mandatory. Our office checks local code requirements for each job and, when necessary, pulls the permit and coordinates inspections on your behalf.
What is included in your fixture replacement estimate and how much will it cost?
Every written estimate includes labor, the cost of the chosen fixture (or an allowance if you prefer to supply your own), new supply lines and shut-off valves, disposal of the old fixture, and a one-year labor warranty. Pricing varies by brand and complexity, but typical ranges are $225–$350 for a basic toilet, $175–$275 for a standard lavatory faucet, and $450–$650 for a tub/shower valve replacement. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing so there are no surprises.
