"I was happy at first and had confidence in their experience. However, the installers had no intention of listening to me and would wait until I was out of ear shot to make decisions like venting out the front of the house or placing ductwork under the joists where they could have been between. They could care less about how the basement was going to be finished and made a lot of work by not sticking to the plan that the estimator and I had come up with. They were unwilling to run the thermostat wire back to the original placement and instead want to put it by a door because it was easy. All in all, watch out. The installer said he had 30 years experience in HVAC, but it is actually 30 years experience of weaseling out of work."

"<br /> We received a quote in late may and then ordered the work about the middle of June. We had a special order for the shower/tube walls that into late July, were still not in . We then agreed with affordable plumbing, to let them do the special order on site.The work finally progressed with a few more problems. When the installer showed up ,they had the wrong walls. This was corrected that afternoon. We then discovered that the doors we were reusing needed longer top and bottom tracks . Reorder took another 5 to 6 days. We were very happy with the final product and the excellent installation. To do over again I would make sure up front that the product was readily available and all the measurements were correct. We should have had an onsite measurement ,instead of using prior measurements from previous quotes. <br /> <br />"

"He was very thorough and answered my questions about the process of how he was cleaning the drain plumbing.  He determined the plug was a minor one and cleared it out quickly.  We thought he was very thorough and good at performing the job. <br />"

"Great. Jon was very professional and honest about potential damage that could occur from removing sunken screws from the decking so I knew what to expect in the event that it happened (which it didn't). He was also up front about needing to reschedule several days in advance (versus the day before or day of) since the weather had delayed the completion of his already active projects. He did a great job with the repair, cleaned up after he was finished and was reasonable in his pricing. I would definitely hire him again."

"Gary came out and took a look about three weeks before we were ready for the work. He gave us all the information necessary to order our doors and the necessary hardware recommended.  Once the doors arrived, he scheduled to come out within the week to do the job.  The old storm door was not operating properly due to some issues with how tight the opening was. Gary opened this up and framed in the new door so it would operate properly for years to come. Job started at about 8:45 and was finished at about 3:00.  I will definitely recommend and use CREW again in the future. <br />"

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