"Scott came out to do the repairs. I had several plumbing issues and didn't expect to have them all completed the same day, but Scott managed to get them all done in one afternoon, including making s run for parts and a new disposal. He explained the cause of each issue and his planned fix before he went ahead. Most of of it ended up being relatively small repairs but I know some plumbers would have replaced rather than fixed to make more money. Very honest, good communication, reasonable pricing, skilled work - I will call them for all of my plumbing needs."

"This was a refurbishment of a commercial space. Herr Plumbing removed all plumbing in an used restroom so it could be torn out, and relocated/replaced a water heater. They located a toilet drain for a new restroom, and then completed the plumbing for that restroom when the framing was complete. They returned one more time to install all the fixtures. Herr Plumbing was timely and professional, and did great work!"

"It was just some of the fixtures were kind of cheap that they brought like for the toilet lids, and we had a leak.  Overall, they were a good company, they were just not an A on some of the stuff."

"Everyone I dealt with in this company was amazing. The schedulers were understanding and helped get someone to my house the same day. And they did! I got someone to come out soon after I called to open the block in my sewer line when two other plumbers couldn't do it. And they got a specialty tech out a couple hours later to camera my line and mark it outside for me. Both techs were fast, efficient, friendly and extremely patient with explaining things to me and making sure I had all the info I needed for the next step of work. The second tech took the time to explain his marks and how he wrote everything on the invoice for me so the next company I hired to replace my sewer line would have a reference. It made a really bad situation a lot less stressful."

"We had hired Jeremy a couple years ago for a bathroom shower repair so did not hesitate again to contact him when we had a leaking pipe under our kitchen sink and leaky faucet above. He and his wife provided lots of useful information and suggested getting the needed parts under warranty for the faucet instead of the additional cost of replacing it. He does what's best for the customer and didn't just automatically suggest the most expensive thing like replacing the faucet. In the end, we went ahead with a replacement because the faucet was out of warranty so for the investment it made sense to replace. He suggested a brand for us that would have a lifetime warranty and explained the quality of their products. Again, to me, this shows his concern, honesty and integrity regarding his work and customer's best interest. With our kitchen setup containing a corner sink placement in addition to the original builder or prior DIY work of the disposal and pipe location and setup, the repair of the leaky pipe under the sink was not the most convenient and comfortable work for him. He still took the needed time and did the job thoroughly and completely making sure to explain what he was going to do and what had happened to cause the leak in the pipe in the first place. He found a 2nd leaky pipe just behind the wall when testing the first part of the job and fixed that as well. He and his assistant were very thorough, conscientious, pleasant and cleaned up tremendously when they were done. I highly recommend The Handy Guy."

"David was great to work with. We had a cracked toilet tank. I found a promotion for a new Toto Toilet from American Plumbing Supply through Angie's List. This was an old promotion but they honored it anyway. David came out the next morning and within an hour we had a new toilet! He was very courteous and even took the old toilet away. Everything was top notch. Will definitely use again."

"first tech was prompt and said my randomly running toilet needed a new flapper. He replaced. It still randomly ran for 5 seconds about once an hr. I recalled ampm, and the owner himself came out. He did a dye test (which the first guy should have done) and said it was the tower seal in the tank. OK.........so he was going to call me with an estimate to put in a tank replacement kit including tower.As an alternate he was going to give me a quote on a new toilet and install. That was last thursday and its now end of business day the following tuesday.( I left a reminder message on their phone last friday) No follow up .....they seem to be highly rated but my luck not so good, or maybe job not big enough.....not sure what to think?."

"Dan came and took a look at the broken dishwasher, which needed a new pump. He figured price vs. dishwasher value worth and recommended I buy a new dishwasher as a new pump would cost $268. We bought the new Bosch dishwasher that he recommended, he took out the old one (only a year old) that had originally been installed by the contractor incorrectly, and charged us less than the 'big box store' would have to install it."

FAQs for plumbing installation for a remodel or addition projects in Melbourne, IA

Adding bathroom plumbing to a detached garage starts with the basic line installation cost of $900 to $1,300. On top of this base expense, you'll need to budget for each fixture. A toilet costs  $250 to $550, sinks cost $150 to $800, and a shower or bathtub costs $400 to $1,900. The project will also require ventilation, moisture-resistant materials, and possibly electrical work. Remember that these costs reflect only the plumbing aspects—additional construction, finishing, and permitting expenses will apply to complete a functional bathroom space.

While certain aspects of garage renovation might be suitable for DIY enthusiasts, plumbing installation requires professional expertise. Connecting to water and sewer systems demands specialized knowledge and equipment, and improper installation can result in severe water damage, code violations, and potential health hazards. Most municipalities require permits for plumbing modifications, and these often stipulate that licensed professionals must perform work. Consider limiting your involvement to simpler tasks like painting or basic finishing work.

The timeframe for adding plumbing to a detached garage spans one to three days for the actual plumbing work. However, this represents only the active installation period. The complete project timeline must account for planning, obtaining permits (which can take weeks depending on your locality), coordinating multiple contractors if needed, and addressing any unexpected challenges that arise during installation. Weather conditions can also impact excavation and outdoor connection work.

Adding plumbing to a detached garage will likely increase your property taxes. Tax assessors consider plumbing an improvement that enhances property value and functionality. The specific tax impact varies by location and project scope. Converting a garage into living space with plumbing facilities can trigger significant reassessment in many jurisdictions. Before proceeding with your project, consult your local tax assessor's office to understand the potential tax implications and factor this ongoing expense into your decision-making process.
