"Paul squeezed me in the same day as I called him. He fixed a broken toilet and we are having him come back for additional plumbing work. He is easy to get a hold of and communicate with. He explains everything and his costs are great. We will continue to use him in the future!"

"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."

"I had no idea that each specialty from installation, drywall, tile repair and painting all had to be coordinated when installing a new shower. Herr (Rick) and (Peggy) were very instrumental in scheduling and finding a quality shower door at a reasonable market rate given todays production hiccups. I have read all the ratings, seen the You Tube videos on bathroom make overs from Bis Box Specialty Companies, and believe me you cannot go wrong with this local ma and pa company in terms of pricing, quality, and installation. Excellent job!"

"We have used Red House Remodeling for two major projects on our home – upstairs hall bathroom and our kitchen and dining room. The projects were about 3 years apart and we came back to Red House for the more extensive kitchen and dining room project after the success of the upstairs hall bathroom. Ben is very organized in assessing the project and communicating the details. He also provides realistic expectations and guidance on the project to stay on budget and achieve our remodeling goals. The Red House team has a dedicated designer to help you with your project and picking out all the elements – floors, cabinets, counters, fixtures, etc. Our designer on both projects – Jenna – spent time with us at our home, at their office, and at various stores reviewing options and discussing pros and cons. She was very helpful in getting us the overall look we wanted in both cases and offered her opinions. She was also patient throughout the design process, allowing us to discuss and consider multiple options. One thing I especially appreciated is their recommendation that new elements can blend well with existing ones (like our new wood floors blending with our oak trim). Once all the details were settled and demolition began, Ben provided a detailed schedule for the project and stayed on schedule and communicated any major changes to that. With the bathroom remodel, the plumber accidentally damaged the new floor and Ben made sure this was replaced at no charge to us and tried to keep the schedule interruption to a minimum. With the kitchen remodel, we really had no major delays or issues come up. Ben and crew were very helpful in making sure our old cabinets could be salvaged for Habitat for Humanity Restore – which is a great way to keep used items out of the landfills and help low income homeowners looking to remodel. This also eliminated our need to have a dumpster in our driveway for the duration of the project. Ben’s crew and subcontractors were polite and generally very tidy in their construction process and accommodating to our requests through the kitchen remodel. Ben even delayed the demolition of our dining room at our request so we could have a bit more room for a couple extra weeks. Overall, we have had two great experiences with the Red House Remodeling team – from the initial consultation, thorough and dedicated design process, organized and timely demolition and construction, and follow up on the checklist of wrap up items – the team does an excellent job for their clients. We have plans to use them again in the future."

"The crew explained everything as they revealed the pipes. We discussed how to remediate the issue so that I could have an upgraded beautiful, functional bathroom where the garbage disposal doesn’t BURP UP it’s contents into the bathtub. The crew was considerate and attempted to avoid as much “mess making” as possible. I also had HOLT replace the ancient furnace & air conditioner plus install an on-demand water heater unit. My monthly gas and electric bills are now $73 after energy efficient installations. I rely on HOLT for maintenance service, too."

"We have 1960's ranch on a lot with several mature trees, so tree roots are occasionally on issue for us. I contacted three different local plumbing/sewer service companies and all three, including Des Moines Drain and Sewer Cleaning, just took my name and number and said a member of their service team would contact me. Evidently, this is pretty standard operation across the business. But then again, it's probably impossible to give perspective customers a definite time went it's not clear just how long each job takes. I decided that the one that called me back first would get my business and that I would cancel the others. I'm sooooo glad it was Des Moines Drain and Sewer that called me back. Our service person (sadly I forgot to write down his name) was fantastic. Since I was at work at the time he called, he asked how long it would take for me to meet him at the house. I told him 20 minutes and when I arrived, he was there waiting for me! He had evidently just pulled up to my house about 5 minutes before I got there. He asked questions about the nature of the problem. He then went straight to work trouble shooting by inspecting the drain, running several sources of water within the house to see the problem in action. He confirmed my suspicion about tree roots slowing the drain. I was VERY impressed with his professionalism and efficiency. He brought in a high power auger and covered his work area to prevent mess in there was any, he then took care of the issue and disposed of the tree roots. He offered some suggestions to slow the re-occurrence of roots. I would most definitely do business with Des Moines Drain and Sewer Cleaning again! <br />"

FAQs for plumbing installation for a remodel or addition projects in Van Meter, 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.
