FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace with high-grade materials?
We can swap out virtually any residential or light–commercial fixture in Washburn, including faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads and valves, bathtubs, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibs, and even ice-maker or washing-machine supply boxes. Every replacement is done with premium, lead-free brass, stainless steel, or heavy-duty PEX-A/CPVC components to ensure long life and full compliance with today’s building codes.
Why should I choose high-grade fixtures instead of the basic options sold at big-box stores?
High-grade fixtures are cast from thicker metal alloys, use ceramic disc cartridges instead of rubber washers, feature superior corrosion-resistant finishes, and carry longer manufacturer warranties—often lifetime. In day-to-day use that translates into smoother operation, fewer drips, better water efficiency, and fixtures that still look new after years of hard North Dakota water exposure. Investing a little more up-front can save repeat service calls and add value to your property.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-point replacements (for example, a kitchen faucet) are wrapped up in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. Toilets usually take 2–3 hours, while a full bathroom fixture package—sink, shower valve, trim, and toilet—can be completed in half a day. We arrive with all materials on the truck, protect your floors with drop cloths, and haul away the old fixture so there is minimal disruption to your routine.
Do I need a permit or inspection for fixture replacements in Washburn?
For simple like-for-like swaps that don’t alter the drain or supply routing, the City of Washburn generally does not require a permit. If we are relocating a fixture, changing pipe sizes, or adding a new shut-off, a plumbing permit and final inspection are mandated. Our office verifies requirements case-by-case, prepares the paperwork, and schedules any inspections so you don’t have to worry about red tape.
What does a high-grade fixture replacement typically cost?
Because we use premium components, installed pricing in Washburn averages $250–$600 for a kitchen or lavatory faucet, $450–$900 for a WaterSense toilet, and $750–$1,800 for a full shower valve and trim. Every home is different, so we provide a no-obligation on-site estimate that details labor, materials, and any permit fees up front—no surprise add-ons later.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans on your work?
Yes. All fixtures we install carry the manufacturer’s full warranty—often lifetime on finish and mechanical parts. In addition, our workmanship is guaranteed for one year; if a connection we made leaks or a trim piece loosens, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. Many customers also enroll in our annual plumbing inspection plan, which includes anode-rod checks, water-pressure testing, and priority scheduling for any future repairs.
