A bathroom remodel lives and dies on the plumbing you never see. New fixtures look great, but if the supply lines, drain slopes, and venting behind the wall are not done right, you get slow drains, weak flow, and leaks that show up months after the tile is finished. We handle the plumbing side of a remodel — the rough-in, the relocations, and the final fixture set — so the finished bathroom works as good as it looks.
We work with your existing layout or a new one: moving a toilet or vanity, adding a second sink, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or running lines for a freestanding tub. Everything is permitted and inspected, and in Bloomfield Hills' older homes we know how to tie modern fixtures into aging drain and supply lines without a fight.
When to call us for bathroom plumbing
You're planning a remodel
New vanity, tub, or shower? The plumbing rough-in has to be right before the walls close up — that is where we come in.
You want to move a fixture
Relocating a toilet, sink, or shower means new supply, drain, and venting. We plan the runs and slopes correctly.
Tub-to-shower conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower changes the drain and valve. We reconfigure it to code for proper drainage.
Old lines feeding new fixtures
Older homes often have aging drains and supply. We tie new fixtures in cleanly and flag anything that should be updated.

- Coordination with your contractor or tile work on timing
Our process
- 1
Plan the layout and lines
We map the supply, drain, and vent runs for your design — new or existing — and confirm slopes and sizing.
- 2
Permit and rough-in
We pull the permit and set the rough plumbing before walls and floors close, then pass the rough inspection.
- 3
Set the fixtures
After finishes, we install and connect the toilet, vanity, tub, shower, and valves — sealed and level.
- 4
Test, inspect, and finish
We pressure-test, verify drainage, pass the final inspection, and confirm everything runs and seals correctly.
What affects the price
We never post fake prices. Here's what actually drives the cost — and we put the real number in writing before any work begins.
- Whether fixtures stay in place or are relocated (new supply, drain, venting).
- Number and type of fixtures — toilet, vanity, tub, shower, second sink.
- Condition of the existing drain, supply, and venting behind the walls.
- Permit and inspection requirements for your municipality.
- Access — a slab, a finished ceiling below, or a tight older-home layout.

Bathroom Plumbing & Remodels FAQs
We handle the plumbing side — the rough-in, relocations, and fixture set — and coordinate with your contractor or tile installer on timing. If you need a full remodel team, we can point you toward trusted trades, but our scope is doing the plumbing right.
Yes, within reason. Relocating a fixture means running new supply, drain, and venting and maintaining proper drain slope. We assess the layout and the space below the floor, then tell you what is feasible and what it involves.
For a remodel that alters or adds plumbing, generally yes. We pull the permit as the licensed contractor, install to code, and schedule the rough and final inspections so the work is documented and safe.
Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion changes the drain location and the valve, and sometimes the venting. We reconfigure the plumbing to code so the new shower drains properly and the valve works correctly.
Usually, with the right connections. In older Bloomfield Hills homes we tie new fixtures into aging drains and supply lines carefully, and we will flag any pipe that is corroded or undersized enough to be worth updating while the walls are open.
