New Shower Installation & Plumbing Rough-In
Planning a bathroom addition or remodel? We handle the complete plumbing rough-in for new shower installations — supply lines, drain connections, valve installation, and fixture hookup. We work with your contractor or tile setter to coordinate the plumbing around your project timeline.
Shower Valve Replacement & Upgrades
Older shower valves — especially two-handle designs without pressure balancing — can be dangerous (sudden temperature swings when a toilet flushes) and are prone to leaking. We replace worn valves with modern pressure-balancing or thermostatic valves that maintain a consistent temperature and are far more reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
A dripping shower after shutoff almost always means a worn cartridge, O-ring, or ceramic disc valve. These are relatively inexpensive to replace and the repair is usually quick — often completed in under an hour.
Low shower pressure is commonly caused by a clogged showerhead (mineral buildup), a partially closed valve, a failing pressure-balancing valve, or a broader water pressure issue in the home. We diagnose the root cause before recommending a fix.
In most cases yes — shower valve cartridges, handles, and many drains can be accessed and replaced without touching the tile surround. We'll assess your specific situation and let you know what access is needed.
Most shower valve cartridge replacements take 1–2 hours. Full shower valve body replacement may require 2–4 hours depending on access. We'll give you a time estimate when we assess the job.
Absolutely. We can install any showerhead style — rain, handheld, dual, or ceiling-mount — and advise whether your existing valve and water pressure will support the upgrade.
