Remodeling Plumbing for Kitchens and Bathrooms
A new bathroom layout looks great on paper. Then someone realizes the shower needs to move eight feet from where the old one sat, and suddenly it's not a design question anymore; it's a plumbing one. H-Town Plumbers handles that part of bathroom remodeling and kitchen remodeling projects, the pipes, the drains, the connections nobody sees once the tile's down.
Bathroom Remodeling Plumbing
Bathroom remodeling isn’t just picking new fixtures; there are several small adjustments, such as shifting a toilet two feet over or putting a shower where a tub used to be. Sometimes it means running entirely new lines. Either way, it’s worth knowing before demo day, not during it.
What our bathroom remodeling services cover:
- Complete bathroom gut renovations, from demo through final finish
- Walk-in shower design and build, including curbless and wet room configurations
- Tub-to-shower conversions
- Full plumbing rough-in for new layouts, including sink, toilet, and shower relocations
- Double vanity installation and plumbing
- Custom tile work, floor, walls, shower surrounds, and niches
- Heated floor systems installed during the tile phase
- Proper waterproof membrane installation throughout wet areas
- Lighting upgrades and electrical coordination
- New fixture installation, faucets, showerheads, toilets, and accessories
Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
People underestimate how much plumbing goes into a kitchen remodel. Moving a sink to an island. Adding a dishwasher where there wasn’t room for one before. A garbage disposal that didn’t exist in the old layout. None of it’s visible in the finished kitchen, but all of it runs through pipes first.
What our kitchen remodeling services cover:
- Full kitchen gut renovations, including wall removal and layout reconfiguration
- Cabinet design and installation, custom, semi-custom, and stock
- Countertop installation, quartz, granite, quartzite, and more
- Complete kitchen plumbing, sink relocation, dishwasher installation, garbage disposal, and water line reconfiguration
- Range hood installation with proper exterior ventilation
- Island design and build, including plumbing and electrical rough-in
- Under-cabinet lighting, pendant lighting, and recessed lighting
- Backsplash tile installation
- Appliance connections and coordination
- Flooring installation and transitions
Plumbing Upgrades During Remodeling
Here’s the thing about opening up walls for a remodel: it’s also a chance to see what’s actually running through them. Depending on the condition of the existing system, swapping old piping for something more durable can make sense while everything’s already exposed. That’s not true for every project. Plenty of houses have plumbing that’s fine as-is. Others have pipes on borrowed time, and a remodel is a reasonable moment to deal with that instead of waiting for a failure later on.
Our plumbing upgrade services include:
- Supply line replacement, addressing aging or deteriorating lines before they fail
- Drain reconfiguration for new layouts
- Pipe material upgrades from outdated systems to modern standards
- Water heater relocation or replacement when the remodel scope requires it
- Whole-house plumbing assessment during open-wall remodel phases
Fixture Installation: The Details That Define the Finished Space
New fixtures are what homeowners see every day. They are also where installation quality shows most clearly, a faucet that was connected correctly and sealed properly looks and functions the same five years later. One that wasn’t starts to show it. We install every fixture with the same attention we give to the work behind the wall, because a project that looks great on day one and starts having problems in year two is not a project done right.
Fixture installation services:
- Faucets and sinks, kitchen and bathroom
- Showerheads, hand showers, and thermostatic valve systems
- Toilets and bidets
- Bathtubs, freestanding, alcove, and drop-in configurations
- Dishwashers and garbage disposals
- Pot fillers and filtered water fixtures
- Outdoor fixtures for outdoor kitchen and living projects
Custom Plumbing Configurations for Layouts That Don't Follow a Template
Open-concept kitchen remodels often require moving plumbing. Primary suite additions require extending water and drain lines into new square footage. Casita and in-law suite projects require independent plumbing infrastructure. These are not standard jobs, and they require a contractor who has done them before.
We provide custom plumbing configurations for projects that require moving, rerouting, or extending plumbing beyond its original location. We coordinate directly with structural engineers when layout changes involve load-bearing considerations, and we work with our licensed electrical trades when plumbing changes affect electrical planning. Everything is permitted, inspected, and closed out properly.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
Not every plumbing system needs the same type of work. Some properties may need all the old pipes replaced, while others may only have a few sections that are causing problems. H-Town Plumbers provides re-piping service based on the condition of the existing plumbing and the needs of the property.
Walkthrough
We visit the space, look at what you’re working with, and listen to what you’re trying to accomplish. This is where scope, realistic timeline, and budget range take shape.
Proposal
You receive a detailed written proposal, specific scope, specific materials, and specific timeline. Not a round number with a vague description.
Planning
Material selections are finalized before demo starts. Permits are submitted. Subcontractor schedules are coordinated. The project is planned before construction begins.
Construction
Demo, rough-in, inspections, finishes, managed and sequenced properly so each phase sets up the next.
Completion
Punch list walkthrough with the homeowner. Final inspection signed off. Final payment at completion, not before.
