Six services for pre-war and mid-century your city houses, each with what it costs and what it does not include.
What we do
Almost everything below is invisible once it is finished, which is exactly why we photograph it. You should be able to see what you paid for after the drywall goes back.
Ten to fourteen days in an occupied house, sequenced so you never lose water overnight. We open the walls that must open, fish the runs that can be fished, pressure-test at 100 psi and photograph every concealed joint before a single patch goes on.

$8,400
typical 2-bath house
We do the plumbing half of a bathroom renovation and coordinate with your tile setter and electrician. In houses this age the real work is usually the venting — a lot of your city bathrooms have been re-plumbed by someone who ignored it entirely.
from
$3,900
per bathroom
Cast iron stacks in your city character homes are at the end of their life, and they fail from the inside where nobody looks. We replace with ABS, keep the run in the same chase where possible, and support it properly so the house is not louder afterwards.
from
$5,600
typical two-storey
Older your city homes still have lead or three-quarter galvanized services that limit flow and, in the case of lead, belong out of the ground. We coordinate the City side, dig the private side, and restore the lawn properly.
from
$6,800
from the shut-off
Low ceilings, stairs with a turn, and a chimney that no longer suits a modern appliance. This is the part of the job other companies quote high to avoid; we quote it honestly because we do it every month.

$2,150
tank, installed
Sometimes the right answer is not a new fixture. We rebuild original taps and fillers where parts still exist, and we tell you plainly when a piece is beautiful and beyond saving.
from
$165
per hour
Paint, tile, electrical and asbestos abatement each belong to a licensed trade of their own. We coordinate and take nothing for it.
These are only cheap while the walls are already open. We list them at survey time so you can decide once, not twice.

“1912 house, Poly-B from a 1990s renovation on top of galvanized from who knows when. Eleven days, water on every single night, and the photo record of every joint is now in the file I will hand the next owner.”
“They talked me out of doing the stack at the same time — said the cast iron had another decade in it and showed me the camera footage. Cost them five thousand dollars of work.”
“The survey alone was worth it. Two other plumbers quoted from the basement ceiling; Coppercraft opened three inspection holes and found Kitec upstairs that nobody had mentioned.”
A two-hour survey: every accessible run identified, material by material, with photographs and a written plan that tells you what to do now and what can wait five years.
