How the Job Works
Step 1: Talk it through
Tell us what you want the bathroom to be. We ask about scope, timeline and budget, and give you an honest read on the plumbing.
Step 2: Inspect before demolition
We look at the existing drains and water lines, often with a sewer camera, so there are no surprises once walls open.
Step 3: Diagnose honestly
You see what we found and hear what it means. If the old pipe is sound, we leave it. If not, we explain the options.

Bathroom Remodeling in Older Homes in Tempe: Questions
Expect us to look under the floor before anything else. Homes from that era near ASU often have original cast iron drains and aging supply lines. We inspect them, show you what we find and fix what is failing. Then the new shower, tile and vanity go in on sound plumbing.
Timing depends on the job, not the city. As a guide, consultation and site visit takes about an hour, and sewer camera inspection takes about an hour. Every job is scoped upfront, so you know the timeline before work starts, and we set a visit time that works for you in Tempe.
Not always, and we will tell you if it doesn't. We inspect the drains, often with a sewer camera, and check the supply lines before recommending anything. You see what we see. If the old pipe is sound, it stays, and your budget goes into the bathroom instead.
