Your shower pressure is consistent. Your fixtures don’t leak six months later. The vanity plumbing drains properly because it was sized and sloped right the first time.
That’s what happens when the plumbing gets done correctly during your bathroom remodel. You’re not calling someone back to fix what should’ve been handled during the renovation.
Most bathroom remodels in Palm Shores involve homes built before 1980. That means galvanized pipes, corroded fittings, and supply lines that were never meant to handle modern fixtures. Opening up those walls gives you a chance to repipe the bathroom while everything’s exposed—not as an emergency six months from now when you’ve got drywall and tile in the way.
We handle the rough-in work, the fixture installation, the pressure testing, and the final inspection. You get a bathroom that works the way it should, with plumbing that’ll last as long as the tile.
We’re a state-certified plumbing contractor serving Palm Shores and Brevard County. Carl, the owner, spent years working on everything from gas piping to full bathroom renovations before earning his license and starting this business.
We’re a small operation. That means you’re working with the same people from estimate to final walkthrough. No handoffs, no miscommunication, no wondering who’s responsible when something needs attention.
Palm Shores has a housing stock that skews older—lots of homes from the 70s and 80s with original plumbing still in place. We’ve repiped enough of them to know what you’re likely dealing with before we open the first wall. That experience matters when you’re trying to avoid surprises that blow your timeline and budget.
First, we walk the space with you. You show us what you want—new shower, relocated vanity, different tub setup—and we map out what needs to happen with the plumbing to make that work.
Then we handle the rough-in. That’s running new supply lines, relocating drains, rerouting pipes if your layout’s changing. If your existing plumbing is galvanized or showing corrosion, this is when we repipe the bathroom. Walls are open anyway, so the work is faster and costs less than doing it later as a standalone job.
After rough-in, everything gets pressure tested. We don’t close walls until we know the system holds. Then we coordinate the inspection, because that’s required before any finish work happens.
Once inspection clears, we install your fixtures—shower valve, tub, vanity, toilet, whatever’s in your plan. We test everything again, check for leaks, make sure drains flow properly and supply lines deliver the pressure you need. Then you’re done.

You’re getting all the water-related work handled. That includes rough-in plumbing for new layouts, pipe rerouting services if you’re moving fixtures, and running new supply and drain lines wherever they’re needed.
We handle bathroom fixture installation—tub, shower, vanity, toilet, and any other plumbing connections in the space. If you’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion, we reconfigure the drain and supply setup to match the new footprint.
In Palm Shores, moisture management matters. Bathrooms near the coast deal with humidity year-round, and improper ventilation leads to mold and rot. We make sure your plumbing setup supports proper drainage and doesn’t create standing water issues that turn into bigger problems.
If your home still has old galvanized or CPVC plumbing, a bathroom remodel is the right time to replace it. You’re already opening walls and accessing the system. Doing it now saves you from an emergency repipe later when everything’s finished and you’re tearing into new drywall and tile to fix a pipe that should’ve been replaced during the renovation.
Do it during the remodel. Once your walls are open, repiping is straightforward. You’re already exposing the plumbing, so replacing old galvanized or corroded pipes takes a fraction of the time and cost compared to doing it later.
If you wait, you’re looking at cutting into finished walls, removing tile, and redoing work that was just completed. That’s expensive and disruptive. Most homes in Palm Shores built before 1980 have plumbing that’s near the end of its lifespan. Replacing it now means you won’t be dealing with leaks, pressure drops, or pipe failures after your bathroom is finished.
We pressure test everything before closing walls, so you know the system is solid. Waiting just means you’re gambling on old pipes holding up behind your new bathroom.
Rough-in plumbing typically takes two to four days, depending on how much you’re changing. If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spots, it’s faster. If you’re relocating the vanity or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, it takes longer because we’re rerouting drains and supply lines.
After rough-in, there’s an inspection. That usually happens within a few days of scheduling, but it depends on the county’s availability. Once inspection clears, fixture installation takes another one to two days.
Total plumbing time for most bathroom remodels runs about a week, but that’s spread out around other trades. Your tile guy, electrician, and drywall crew are working in between our rough-in and finish stages. The key is coordination, which is why working with one contractor who handles the plumbing from start to finish keeps things moving.
We let you know immediately and explain what needs to happen. Most of the time, it’s old plumbing that’s corroded or drains that were never sloped correctly. Sometimes it’s water damage or rot from a slow leak that’s been going on for years.
You’ll get a clear explanation of the issue and what it costs to fix. No surprises after the fact. If it’s a safety or code issue, it has to be addressed before we can close the walls and move forward. If it’s something that can wait, we’ll tell you that too.
The benefit of finding these problems during a remodel is that you’re already in the walls. Fixing them now is cheaper and smarter than discovering them later when everything’s finished. We’ve done enough bathroom renovations in Palm Shores to know what’s common in older homes, so we’re usually not shocked by what we find.
We specialize in the plumbing side—rough-in, repiping, fixture installation, and all the water-related work. For the rest of the remodel, you’ll need to bring in other trades like tile, electrical, and drywall.
That said, we coordinate with other contractors regularly and can recommend people we’ve worked with if you need referrals. The key is making sure everyone’s on the same page about timing. Plumbing rough-in happens early, then we step back while other work gets done, then we come back for fixture installation at the end.
Some homeowners hire a general contractor to manage the whole project. Others coordinate the trades themselves. Either way works. We just need to know the schedule so we’re not holding up other work or waiting around for access.
Yes. Any time you’re moving plumbing, adding new fixtures, or changing the layout, Brevard County requires a permit. That includes rough-in work, repiping, and most fixture replacements.
We handle the permit and coordinate the inspection. After rough-in is complete and pressure tested, an inspector comes out to verify everything meets code. You can’t close up the walls or move forward with finish work until that inspection passes.
Skipping the permit is a bad idea. If you ever sell your home, unpermitted work can kill a deal or force you to open up walls and bring everything up to code before closing. It also means you’re not protected if something goes wrong. Permitted work creates a paper trail and ensures the job was done correctly.
Rough-in is all the plumbing work that happens behind the walls—running supply lines, installing drain pipes, setting up the valve bodies for your shower and tub, and getting everything in place for your fixtures. This is the stage where we repipe if needed and make sure your layout matches your remodel plan.
Fixture installation happens after walls are closed, tile is set, and the bathroom is nearly finished. That’s when we install the actual shower head, tub, vanity, faucets, and toilet. We connect everything to the rough-in plumbing, test for leaks, and make sure water pressure and drainage work correctly.
You can’t do fixture installation until rough-in is complete and inspected. And you can’t use your bathroom until fixture installation is done. Both stages are necessary, and both require different timing in the remodel process. We handle both so there’s no gap or miscommunication between the two.
