Here’s what happens when you remodel a bathroom without addressing the plumbing: you finish the tile, paint the walls, install that new vanity—and six months later, a 50-year-old pipe bursts behind the wall. Now you’re tearing out everything you just paid for.
That’s the scenario we help you avoid. When you’re already opening walls for a bathroom renovation, it’s the right time to handle the plumbing infrastructure too. Replace corroded pipes with modern materials. Reroute lines for your new layout. Install proper venting so drains actually work.
Most homes in June Park built before 1980 still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are corroding from the inside. You’ll see rust in the water, pressure drops at the shower, and eventually leaks. Addressing this during your remodel means the work is faster and costs a fraction of what you’d pay for an emergency repipe later when walls are closed up and finished.
You get a bathroom that looks great and actually functions without the constant worry that something’s about to go wrong behind the scenes.
We’ve been handling plumbing projects in Brevard County since 2007, with over 40 years of combined experience on our team. We’re fully licensed and insured (CFC1428379), which means every bathroom remodeling plumbing job we touch meets Florida code and gets inspected properly.
We’re based in Merritt Island, so we know exactly what June Park homeowners are dealing with—coastal humidity that demands better ventilation, aging infrastructure in older neighborhoods, and the specific building requirements that apply here. When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve seen these issues hundreds of times and know how to solve them without dragging the project out.
Every job is owner-supervised. You get upfront pricing before we start, and we don’t add surprise charges halfway through. If we say your bathroom fixture installation will take a certain amount of time and cost a certain amount, that’s what happens.
First, we walk through your bathroom and talk about what you’re changing. New shower? Different vanity location? Tub-to-shower conversion? We need to know the layout so we can plan the rough-in plumbing correctly.
Once walls are open, we handle any pipe rerouting services needed for your new design. If your home was built before 1980 and still has old galvanized or cast iron pipes, this is when we recommend repiping those lines. It’s faster now than waiting until there’s an emergency, and it costs less because the walls are already open.
Next comes fixture installation—your toilet, sinks, faucets, shower valves, tub. We install pressure-balancing valves for showers so you’re not getting scalded when someone flushes a toilet. We make sure all drains have proper venting, which prevents clogs and keeps sewer gas out of your house. Everything gets pressure-tested before the walls close back up.
Then we coordinate with inspectors to make sure everything passes. Most bathroom remodels with new plumbing and layout changes take four to six weeks total. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you know when you’ll have your bathroom back.

Our bathroom renovation plumbing covers everything water-related in your project. That includes rough-in plumbing for new layouts, all fixture installations, vanity plumbing with proper shut-off valves, and shower and tub replacement with correct drain connections and pressure-balanced mixing valves.
We also handle the less obvious stuff that a lot of DIY remodels get wrong—proper venting for every drain so you don’t end up with slow drains or sewer gas smell, valve installations that meet current code, and pressure testing before drywall goes back up. If you’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion, we’ll reconfigure the drain and water lines for the new setup.
In June Park and throughout Brevard County, Florida humidity is a real factor. We make sure your bathroom has adequate ventilation planned into the plumbing and fixture layout. We also know that a midrange bathroom remodel can recover about 80% of your investment when you sell—but only if the plumbing actually works and passes inspection.
If your home is older, we’ll talk honestly about whether repiping makes sense now. It’s not always necessary, but when it is, doing it during the remodel saves you from tearing out brand-new tile in a year or two because a pipe failed.
If your house was built before 1980, there’s a good chance you still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes. These corrode from the inside over time—you’ll notice rust-colored water, dropping pressure, and eventually leaks.
The smart time to replace them is during your bathroom remodel when the walls are already open. The work goes faster, costs less, and you avoid the nightmare scenario of a pipe bursting behind your brand-new tile six months after the remodel is done.
We’ll inspect your existing plumbing during the planning phase and tell you honestly whether repiping makes sense for your situation. Not every remodel needs it, but when it does, doing it now instead of later is almost always the better call. Modern materials like PEX or copper won’t corrode, and they’ll outlast everything else in your bathroom.
For a complete bathroom overhaul with new plumbing, fixture installation, and layout changes, you’re typically looking at four to six weeks from start to finish. That includes rough-in work, inspections, fixture installation, and final testing.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same locations without moving any pipes, it’s faster—sometimes just a few days. But most bathroom renovations involve at least some pipe rerouting or layout changes, which means we need to coordinate with your other contractors and schedule inspections.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on what you’re actually doing. The timeline also depends on how quickly we can get inspection approvals, which varies. What we won’t do is rush the job and skip steps just to close it out faster. You need this bathroom to work correctly for the next 20 years, not just pass a quick visual check.
We handle all of it—rough-in plumbing, pipe rerouting, fixture installation, vanity plumbing, shower and tub replacement, drain and vent work, valve installations, pressure testing, and coordinating with inspectors. You’re not juggling multiple plumbing contractors for different parts of the job.
This matters because bathroom remodels fail when the plumbing isn’t coordinated properly. If one company does rough-in and another does fixtures, and something doesn’t line up, you’re stuck in the middle trying to figure out who’s responsible.
When we take on your bathroom renovation plumbing, we’re accountable for the entire plumbing scope from start to finish. That includes making sure everything meets Florida code, passes inspection, and actually works the way it’s supposed to. We’re also coordinating timing with your tile installer, electrician, and whoever else is on the job so the plumbing work happens when it needs to without holding up other trades.
Swapping out fixtures in the same locations—new toilet, new faucet, new showerhead—is straightforward and less expensive because we’re not opening walls or moving pipes. You’re mainly paying for labor and the fixtures themselves.
A full bathroom renovation with plumbing is different. If you’re changing the layout, moving the vanity, converting a tub to a shower, or repiping old lines, we’re opening walls, rerouting pipes, installing new drains and vents, and coordinating inspections. That takes more time and materials, so the cost goes up.
The exact price depends on what you’re doing and what we find when the walls open up. We give you transparent pricing upfront based on the scope you describe, and if we run into something unexpected—like discovering a major leak or code violation that needs fixing—we’ll talk to you about it before proceeding. No surprise bills at the end. Most homeowners in June Park doing a midrange bathroom remodel spend around $17,000 to $20,000 total, and they typically recover about 80% of that investment when they sell.
We work with general contractors, designers, and directly with homeowners—whatever makes sense for your project. If you’ve already hired a GC to manage your bathroom remodel, we’ll coordinate with them on timing, inspections, and any changes that come up during the job.
If you’re managing the remodel yourself, we can walk you through what needs to happen and when. We’ll tell you when walls need to be open for rough-in plumbing, when we need to come back for fixture installation, and what other trades need to finish before we can do our work.
The key is communication. Bathroom remodels involve multiple people working in a small space on a tight schedule, and plumbing often sits on the critical path—other trades can’t proceed until we finish certain steps. We’ve done this enough times to know how to keep things moving without causing delays or conflicts with other contractors on site.
When we open walls during a bathroom renovation, we sometimes find issues that weren’t visible before—corroded pipes, improper venting from a previous remodel, leaks that have been slow-dripping for years, or code violations that need fixing before inspection.
If we find something, we stop and talk to you about it before proceeding. We’ll explain what the problem is, why it matters, what it costs to fix, and what happens if you don’t fix it. Then you decide how to move forward.
Most homeowners choose to address these issues during the remodel because the walls are already open and it’s the most cost-effective time to fix them. Closing everything back up and dealing with it later almost always costs more and means tearing out your new finishes. We price out the additional work clearly so you know exactly what you’re approving, and we adjust the timeline if needed. No surprises, no pressure—just honest information so you can make the right call for your situation.
