FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can your Rockford team replace?
Our licensed plumbers handle virtually every residential or light-commercial fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, showerheads, tubs, toilets, garbage disposals, laundry/utility sinks, exterior hose bibs, and refrigerator/icemaker supply valves. We also replace shut-off valves and supply lines as part of the job to ensure a complete, leak-free installation.
How do I know when a fixture should be replaced instead of repaired?
Consider replacement when a fixture is 10–15 years old, has recurring leaks even after repairs, shows visible corrosion or cracks, wastes water (e.g., a 3.5 gpf toilet versus today’s 1.28 gpf models), or no longer matches your remodeling plans. If repair costs exceed about 50 % of the price of a new fixture, we generally recommend replacement for long-term savings and reliability.
What happens during a typical fixture replacement visit and how long will it take?
1) We begin with a brief walkthrough, verify shut-off locations, and protect surrounding surfaces. 2) The old fixture is drained, disconnected, and removed. 3) Supply lines, traps, or mounting hardware are inspected and swapped out if worn. 4) The new fixture is set, leveled, and secured; all connections are made with fresh seals and plumber’s tape. 5) Water is restored, the system is pressure-tested, and the area is cleaned up. Most single-fixture jobs (e.g., one faucet or toilet) take 1–2 hours; multi-fixture projects or tub replacements may require half a day to a full day.
How much does fixture replacement cost in Rockford and what factors affect the price?
Typical ranges (parts + labor) run: • Standard toilet: $275–$550 • Bathroom faucet: $225–$400 • Kitchen sink & faucet combo: $450–$900 • Tub/shower valve & trim: $500–$1,200 Variables include the fixture brand/model you choose, accessibility (finished basement ceilings versus exposed piping), code upgrades (e.g., new shut-off valves or supply lines), and any repairs to surrounding cabinetry, tile, or drywall. We provide firm, up-front quotes after an on-site evaluation, so there are no surprises.
Can I buy my own fixture, or do you supply them?
Both options are available. Many customers pick fixtures that match décor and bring them to us for installation. If you prefer a turnkey service, we’ll supply professional-grade fixtures from trusted brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard—often at contractor pricing with better warranty support. Either way, we inspect customer-supplied fixtures before installation to ensure compatibility with Rockford plumbing codes.
What kind of warranty or guarantee comes with your fixture replacements?
All labor is backed by our 2-year workmanship guarantee—double the industry standard in Rockford. Manufacturer warranties on supplied fixtures range from 1 year to lifetime, depending on the brand. If a leak or installation issue appears during the guarantee period, we return promptly at no charge. We also register any fixtures we supply so your manufacturer warranty is activated automatically.
