Faucet, toilet, and shower installations plus whole-home repipes — fixed-price quotes from a licensed local team.
One leak in a 60-year-old pipe is rarely the last. If you're seeing any of these patterns, it's time for a real conversation about repiping.
Fixtures and repipes cover everything from a $200 faucet swap to a $15,000 whole-home repipe. The common thread is that the fix has to be permanent and clean. We install homeowner-supplied fixtures every day (we'll inspect them first), and for repipes we use PEX or copper depending on what makes sense for your home. Pre-1970 Morris County homes — especially in Morristown's Historic District, Madison, Chatham, and Mountain Lakes — often have galvanized steel supply lines that fail with pinhole leaks once one section goes. A whole-home PEX repipe is usually the right call once that starts.
This service includes licensed service standards, call-by-call job management, and a fixed-price quote before work begins. Here's what's included:
If you're seeing any of the following in your Morris County home, it's time to call a licensed plumber:
For repipes, we inspect every supply line, the main shutoff, and access paths. For fixtures, we verify what you bought is complete.
Repipe: PEX vs copper, full vs partial, drywall coordination. Fixtures: install only, or install with new shutoff valves and supply lines.
Repipes are done one room at a time so you always have water in part of the house.
We pressure-test, walk through every fixture with you, and warranty our labor.
We don't post fixed prices online because every job is different — but we do quote a fixed price before any work starts. Here's what affects fixtures & repipes pricing:
Want a fixed-price quote? Call (973) 397-5347 or book online. We will assess the issue, explain your options, and write up a fixed-price quote before work begins. Diagnosis is included when repair work is approved; any standalone visit fee is disclosed before booking.

Yes. We install homeowner-supplied faucets, toilets, sinks, and shower trim every day. We'll inspect the unit before installing to make sure nothing is missing or damaged, and we warranty our labor. If a defective fixture causes a problem, we'll work with you to swap it out.
A typical 3-bath Morris County home takes 2–4 days for a full repipe in PEX, including drywall access cuts. Copper takes longer. We work room-by-room so you always have water in at least part of the house, and we coordinate any drywall patching.
PEX is our usual recommendation for residential repipes — it's flexible (fewer joints), freeze-resistant, quieter, and 30–40% cheaper than copper. Copper still has a place for some applications and is required by code in a few rare scenarios. We'll explain the tradeoffs at your estimate.
Recurring pinhole leaks, low pressure throughout the house, brown or rust-colored water, banging pipes, or galvanized steel piping (common in pre-1970 homes) are all signs. A single repair patch on old galvanized is usually a waste — once one section fails, the rest is on borrowed time.
Less than people expect. We work room-by-room so you always have water in some part of the house. Drywall access cuts are made at strategic points (typically 6×12 inches) and can be patched by us or a separate trade. A 3-bath home is usually 2–4 days.
Yes — for older Morristown and Madison homes, we frequently source brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, or unlacquered brass fixtures that match the home's era. We can recommend specific lines (Rohl, Kohler, Delta) that hold up.
Sidekick backs our labor on whole-home repipes with a written workmanship warranty — we’ll spell out the exact terms on your written quote. The PEX or copper materials also carry their own manufacturer warranty (typically 25 years for PEX, 50 years for copper).
