RENOVATION PLUMBING

Renovation Plumbing is the most significant part of Supreme Plumbers’ key competencies and business volume. We have completed hundreds of renovation plumbing projects from high end bathroom renovations, or 18th century farm house renovations to a full gut rehab of a six unit multifamily houses.

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom remodeling is one of the home improvement tasks that require lot of planning, coordinating multiple trades and hiring a licensed plumber is highly recommended. The key reason to hire a licensed plumber is to avoid costly mistakes and leaks later. Would you like to look at a 1/4″ gap between the shower valve plate and tiled shower surround filled with caulk, because the valve body was not set deep enough? Or try to call around to find a licensed plumber to fix a leak from your whirpool tub that your tile guy installed himself couple months ago. There is not many licensed plumbers out there who will take pride and volunteer to start ripping apart a brand new bathroom trying to locate and fix a leaks. The reason being is that very often when plumbing fixtures are installed by an unqalified worker, they can be damaged in a way that a repair might not be an option and nobody wants to hear that an expensive fixture that is virtually new needs to be replaced and hundreds dollars worth of tile work redone. The bottom line is that in your bathroom addition project you get what you pay for. In our opion it is worth to spend the few hundred dollars extra upfront to get the work done by a licensed plumber than dealing with thousands dollars worth of damage and plumbing repairs later.

Bathroom Addition

Unless you live alone adding a bathroom brings many undeniable benefits, unless you enjoy a friendly competition with your family members to use that one bathroom when everyone is trying to get out on time in the morning. Studies showed that adding a bathroom can increase average home’s sale price by 8-9%. We have probably encountered all of the possibilies where a bathroom could be added from the end of the hallway locations, converting walk-in closets, or splitting a large bathroom into two, corners of large bedrooms, to unfinished attic or basement locations. There are many possibilities where a bathroom can be added. Typically the most cost efficient location is near an existing drain and watter supply. For locations below the main house drain, such as basements, we recommend you look up products by Saniflo which we have been using for over a decade without a single call back. Before you start making plans with your home improvement contractor, you should discuss with a licensed plumber experienced in bathroom additions the best fixture layout, because just a minor swith of fixture locations can sometimes save or add up to 50% of the the plumbing project cost.

Full-Gut Rehab Plumbing

Full-gut rehab projects should be done by a coordinated team of professional contractors from multiple trades – carpentry, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing, that work well together. You can save ignificantly on your full-gut rehab plumbing by clustering and stacking your kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room versus projects where plumbing pipes need to be routed to opposite or far sides of the house. You can additionally make your new plumbing sytem more efficient by minimizing the length of hot water piping and insulating it to minimize heatloss.

Kitchen remodeling plumbing

When undertaking a kitchen remodeling project, there are too many design choices and variables – like cabinets, countertops, appliaces, paint colors, flooring style, etc that oftentimes homeowners focus too much on decisions concerning finishes versus the key elements such as layout that will make your kitchen more usable and avoid costly excessively costly pipe relocations from your current layout. There are quite a few fixtures and appliances that need to be considered during a kitchen remodel – sink location, dishwasher, icemaker, heating toe kick, or gas for stove. An early consultation with an experienced plumber can save you hundreds or even thousands on plumbing work by being aware of the most efficient routing options for your drain, vent, water supply, gas, and heating piping.

You don’t want to have new cabinets installed and then find out that the sink you chose interferes with them and wont fit without a significant modification, or after you installed the flooring that its too high and the dishwasher won’t fit under the granite countertops. Many remodellers try to act as jack of all trades, but there are a good reasons why you should let them deal with the carpentry, cabinets, or flooring and hire a licensed plumber for all the kitchen plumbing tasks, such as:

Plumbing Pipe Routing and Piping Relocations

There are quite a few kitchen fixtures and appliances that require specific plumbig routing and certain fitting connections to ensure gas or water is properly flowing in or out. You do not want to spent tens of thousands of dollars on a kitchen remodeling project just to fill your kitchen with a sewer smell every time you use a dishwasher.

No Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing is a quite a complex trade and it takes over 8 years to became a licensed master plumber in Connecticut. There are many different categories within the plumbing trade and many plumbers specialize only in certain areas of the plumbing trade. Some do only a drain cleaning, or a pumps and water treatment. For your kitchen remodeling project, you want to pick a plumber who completed hundreds of kitchen projects to ensure that your expensive cabinets don’t get damaged by avoidable plumbing leaks.

Appliance and Plumbing Fixture Installation

Sinks, dishwashers, toe kick heaters, icemakers, and sink food disposals are a lovely things to have in your new kitchen as long as they are installed correctly. A fixture or appliance that is not properly installed could result in drips, leaks, not working properly, or even getting damaged beyond repair. This line of work might not be the right fit for a do-it-yourselfer, and most of the times not even for the home improvement contractor who claims he could do the plumbing and electrical too, so contact an experienced licensed plumber for a top-notch service.
