For builders & owner-builds · Rough-in to final
To code and on schedule.
A build lives on its schedule. You need a plumber who shows up when the framing is ready, builds it to pass inspection, and doesn't leave the punch list full of leaks. That's the job, with a master licensed plumber answerable for all of it, not whoever was available.
Scope we carry
- Groundwork: under-slab drains and supply, tied into site water and sewer lines we can also run ourselves.
- Rough-in: supply, drain-waste-vent, gas lines, sized right and stubbed where the finish plumber needs them, because we're also the finish plumber.
- Top-out and finish: fixtures, water heaters, disposals, hose bibs, and the pressure and leak testing before anything gets closed up.
- Inspections: scheduled, met, and passed as part of the job, not your problem to chase.
Why builders keep one plumber through the job
When the rough and the finish are the same shop, the stub-outs are where the fixtures actually go, the slab penetrations line up with the vanity that got picked, and nobody bills you to fix the other guy's guesses. One master licensed plumber owns the whole water side of the build, and the schedule stays honest because you're dealing with the person doing the work.
What moves the price
Fixture count and spreadBathrooms, kitchen, laundry, hose bibs: the count and how far apart they sit drive the rough.
Slab or crawlUnder-slab work is committed before concrete. Crawlspaces trade that for access work later.
Gas scopeRange, water heater, fireplace, shop heat: each run is sized, tested, and inspected.
Site utilitiesCity tap or well and septic changes the groundwork completely; we do both.
Common questions
Do you work with owner-builders?
Yes. If you're running your own build, Joe will talk through the sequencing with you straight: what has to happen before concrete, what the inspector will look for, and where people usually get burned.
Can you bid from plans?
Send them over. Text or email the plan set and Joe will come back with a real bid and any questions, usually with notes on anything in the drawings that will fight the inspector.
Remodels and additions too?
Yes, the same rough-to-finish scope applies when you're adding a bathroom or converting space. Tying new work into old plumbing is its own skill, and it's daily work here.
Burst pipe? No hot water? Sewage backup?
While you wait:
1 · Shut off the main water valve, usually at the meter or where the line enters the house
2 · Open the lowest faucet to relieve the pressure
3 · Move what you can out from under the leak
