"I noticed my water heater leaking late in the evening (Saturday night), and Sunday morning I reached out to Angie's List for a water heater replacement. I set my expectations that it probably wouldn't be attended to until the work week, but Jesus for Jess Plumbing responded within minutes. Checking with some of the big box stores, Jesus had extremely reasonable pricing that included the purchase of the water heater, labor for removing/installing, and hauling away the old one. After confirming pricing, he was at my home with the new water heater in hand within the hour. Once he arrived, he had a very warm and open attitude as he broke down all the steps that we'd be going through. he was very knowledgeable with the alternate methods of electric or tankless, and gave the pros/cons should I decide for an upgrade in the future. Throughout the install, I enjoyed our conversation very much and he didn't mind that I hung out in the garage while working on other projects. He moved with the intention that only comes with years of experience, deliberate and precise. When we had to shut off the water he communicated that ahead of time knowing that my family could possibly have a need to access it. Overall the whole process went incredibly smooth and would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to a friend."

"The folks @ Mike Counsil have done work for us in the past, including the heater installation and unclogging/cleaning a backed up drain. Any time we've had work done by them, they are always right on time and very professional. They get the job done and clean up after they're finished to ensure there's no clean up for the customer. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs."

"JPC came in and took their time to thoroughly inspect our kitchen so that they can give us options on how we can install a new gas line as we were switching from an electric to a gas range. Their pricing is very fair, they are friendly and courteous. When they found out that we forgot to purchase a flexible gas hose, they went above and beyond and went out to buy one. I will definitely use them again for any future plumbing jobs."

"Sergio and his team came to our rescue after we had our water heater shut off by PG&E for a safety issue. We received a detailed estimate after a thorough evaluation. Sergio provided us a range of options and patiently answered all our questions. We decided to also fix other issues we'd been considering and we were provided with a fair estimate for completing all the work at once. We agreed to also install a pressure regulating valve and a home filtration system. The Tankless Guys team was punctual on the day we began the work. They did the best they could to minimize disruptions, letting us know when we would have a water interruption and returning it as soon as possible. I was impressed by their professionalism, communication throughout the project, and attention to detail. They took their time to clean up the area they were working on at the end of the day, covering potential hazards and marking them off, and organizing the space to begin the next day. The team did uncover a couple of issues in our older home, which caused the project to take a little longer. They did not cut corners - Sergio, Daniel and Ray took their time to fix the issues so the installations could be installed properly and up to code, and to avoid other problems in the future. We are thrilled with the quality of the work, the attention to detail, and the peace of mind that our home is safe again. It was a pleasure to work with the Tankless Guys! I'm sure we will call them again for our next plumbing project."

"Albert Nahman Plumbing was helpful and extremely professional. The work done by Nicholas was resourceful (involving hooking up a new heater with different requirements into a gas supply and vent system installed thirty years earlier) and carefully executed. He's a knowledgeable, courteous, and highly skilled professional."

"My lovely home in Saratoga required a water re-pipe. Upon giving TJ plumbing, a call, a clean, looking young man arrived at my doorstep. He was very friendly and professional. He introduced himself as TJ and proceeded to kindly asked me to give him a brief tour of the house for his assessment. Upon the end of the house tour, he proceeded to ask me about my expectations. I told them that I was just looking to replace my pipes. TJ began to present the several options that were available for my new plumbing pipes. His office included, standard replacement, addition of a softener, a relocation and upgrade of a water heater, and also the different options of materials ranging from PEX, thin-copper, and thicker-copper (apparently there’s a difference in copper, which I never knew) TJ came across very knowledgeable and quite capable of performing the task at hand. I decided to go with him and to commence the work. He was very professional, he took care of my wood floors by creating a walkway with tarps, wrapped plastic around furniture and areas of the living room, bedrooms, and dining rooms, where he intended to work to minimize dust and debris. He consistently kept me updated as to the progress of the work, and gave me a Fair Notice as to when he will be turning off the water. This gave me an ability to use any of my facilities before he disabled them. While working under the crawlspace, he also found an issue with my drain pipe, which was cracked and seeping sewer waste in my crawlspace. For a reasonable price, he took care of the cracked drain pipe on top of all the work he was currently working on. His pricing also included repairing the drywall that had to be cut open. He is not the “I can do everything type of plumber” because for purposes of the drywall, he hired a professional drywaller to repair the walls, which seemed as if they were never opened. I was extremely happy with the end result, and with the quality of work that he provided. I personally decided to include the upgrade and relocation of the water heater to an outdoor tankless. This gave me the ability to reclaim space in my garage, which I can now use to hoard more unnecessary junk. I highly recommend TJ plumbing for any plumbing needs around the home. I would at a minimum give TJ Plumbing a call, to assess the work to be performed. Thank you, TJ plumbing for your professionalism and hard work! -Tony-"

FAQs for plumbing installation for a remodel or addition projects in Portola Valley, CA

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.
