Plumbing Fixture Upgrades

Absolutely. Swapping out old fixtures for new high efficiency ones is one of the simplest ways to update a home and lower water usage. Before 1980, many toilets used 5 to 7 gallons per flush. From the 1980s to early 1990s, most homes had 3.5 gallon per flush toilets. After 1994, toilets were limited to 1.6 gallons per flush. Today's WaterSense certified models use 1.28 gallons or less per flush while still outperforming the old ones. Upgrading is a win for your water bill, your home, and the planet.

Yes, we do. We have Moen samples in our office showcase so you can see real finishes in real lighting instead of guessing online. We also help you compare performance, quality, warranties, and how each finish holds up against New Jersey's hard water.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. A basic faucet swap usually connects right to your existing plumbing. A new shower valve almost always requires opening the wall because the valve body sits inside it. Toilet upgrades are usually simple but older homes may need new shutoff valves, updated supply lines or flanges. We look at everything first so there are no surprises once work begins.

Yes, we can install customer supplied fixtures, but we generally do not recommend it. Some fixtures sold through major online retailers do not always meet the same manufacturing standards or certifications as those sold through licensed plumbing suppliers. Online purchases also tend to arrive with missing parts, unusual fittings, or finishes that do not match the product photos. If you choose to provide your own fixtures, we will install them, but we cannot warranty customer supplied items or any issues that arise from defects, failures, or inconsistent manufacturing.

Most simple fixture swaps do not require a permit. A permit becomes necessary when a fixture is relocated, when new plumbing lines are run, or when walls need to be opened for valve changes or drain modifications. If your upgrade changes the plumbing layout, we will handle the permitting process so everything stays safe and compliant.
