Most fixture installs are same-day or next-day. Quoted on-site in writing — supply your own fixture or we'll source one through our distributors.
Catalog
What we install in Warwick homes
Every fixture install is quoted on-site in writing — not by phone, not on the web. The catalog below is what we install most often and a realistic time estimate per fixture.
| Fixture | Typical time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen faucet | 60–90 min | Includes new shutoff valves if existing are corroded. |
| Bathroom faucet | 45–75 min | Single-hole or 4" centerset; widespread adds 15 min. |
| Toilet (standard) | 60–90 min | Includes new wax ring, supply line, mounting bolts; old toilet hauled away. |
| Toilet (comfort-height ADA) | 75–110 min | Common upgrade in older Warwick homes for aging-in-place. |
| Bathroom sink | 90–150 min | Drop-in or undermount; vanity-top swap adds time. |
| Kitchen sink + disposal | 2–3 hr | Single basin or double; new shutoffs, supply lines, basket strainer, P-trap. |
| Garbage disposal | 45–75 min | We default to 3/4 HP minimum for Warwick water hardness. |
| Outdoor hose bib (frost-free) | 1.5–2 hr | Replace failed sillcock with frost-free unit; extends winter freeze protection. |
| Shower valve replacement | 2–3 hr (no tile damage) | Pressure-balance or thermostatic; behind-tile access dependent. |
| Whole-house water filter | 2–3 hr | Main-line install before water heater. |

Older Warwick homes
What we check before installing in pre-1970 homes
Four things that can change scope and quote on a fixture install — flagged during the visit, fixed in the same trip whenever possible.
Galvanized supply lines under sinks
Replace with PEX or copper while installing the new fixture. The old line will fail the moment you torque a new shutoff onto it.
Cast-iron drain stub-outs
If the cast-iron is pitted at the wall, replace it back to the trap arm — otherwise the new install leaks within 2 years.
Non-standard drain heights
1950s Warwick vanities sit at heights modern vanities don't match. Drain extension or relocation may be needed.
Chrome shutoffs over 30 years old
Compression fittings on old shutoffs leak when disturbed. We replace them at the same visit — flagged in the on-site quote, prevents a callback.
Fixture install FAQ — Warwick
Will WaterSense fixtures actually save me money on Warwick water bills?+
Yes. Warwick water rates have climbed steadily and modern WaterSense-rated fixtures cut household draw 20-30% without the weak-pressure feel of early low-flow units. On a four-person Warwick home, the savings typically pay back the install inside two years.
Can you install ADA-compliant grab bars and comfort-height toilets in Warwick?+
Yes — and we install them with proper structural blocking, not just into drywall. Warwick has a large share of long-term senior residents aging in place; a one-day retrofit (grab bars, comfort-height toilet, lever-handle faucets) is what actually matters for staying independent.
Should I do my kitchen fixture installs all at once during a remodel?+
Yes — disposal, instant-hot, pot-filler, filtered water, every rough-in is dramatically cheaper while the cabinets are out. Once the kitchen is closed up, retrofitting any of those is 2-3x the cost.
