Toilet, pipe, faucet, and shower work coordinated across multiple visits on a Sammamish bathroom remodel.
Technicians: PJ Straight and Alexander Straight
A Sammamish homeowner brought us in on a referral from Ace Installation Services for the plumbing side of a bathroom remodel. Bathroom remodels are one of those projects where the plumbing needs to arrive in the right order, get out of the way for the other trades, and come back to finish the job cleanly. It only works if the plumber shows up when they said they would.
PJ and Alex made multiple trips to Carl's house as the remodel progressed—toilet work, plumbing pipe repair, faucet repair, and shower repair—and each visit was on time, every time.
What Carl Had to Say
"We found Lighthouse Plumbing through a referral from Ace Installation services. PJ and Alex were the team scheduled and were fantastic to work with on our bathroom project. They made a few trips to our house as the project progressed and they were exactly on time, every time. Their work was of the highest quality with attention to detail, without us asking, that we really appreciated. They were both great people to work with, very accommodating, patient, friendly, personable and thoughtful. I would, and we are going to, engage them on an additional project. Thank you!"
— Carl M., Sammamish ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks, Carl. On-time-every-time and attention-to-detail-without-being-asked is what we ask PJ and Alex to bring on every remodel. Looking forward to the next project.
What Bathroom Remodel Plumbing Involves
A full bathroom remodel touches almost every plumbing fixture in one room. Here's what our team typically handles:
Toilet Work
- Removing and re-setting the toilet for tile/flooring work
- Upgrading the toilet flange if it's below finished floor height
- Installing a new wax or waxless seal so the reset is leak-free
- Swapping in a new toilet (comfort height, dual flush, or bidet-ready) if you're replacing
Plumbing Pipe Repair
- Replacing old galvanized supply lines behind the vanity while the walls are open
- Fixing drum-trap or S-trap drains that don't meet current Sammamish/King County code
- Adding a proper P-trap with a modern slip-joint for future serviceability
- Rerouting supply lines if the vanity or tub is moving
Faucet and Fixture Work
- Rough-in for new tub filler, showerhead, and lav faucet locations
- Setting the new faucet(s) at finish stage—proper valve orientation, no cross-threading, sealed to the deck
- Installing quarter-turn shutoff valves under the sink so future service is a five-minute job
Shower Repair and Install
- Pressure-balance or thermostatic mixing valve—required by code in most new installs
- Rebuild vs. replace on old valves—we'll give you the honest read
- Correctly slope the shower drain to the trap, test for leaks before tile goes on
Working Alongside Other Trades
The reason remodels get expensive isn't usually the plumbing—it's the delays when trades don't coordinate. Here's how we work with your GC or the other trades:
- We show up when we say we will so the tile setter, painter, and electrician can plan their days
- Rough-in stage first: get the pipes and drains where they need to be before drywall closes up
- We stay out of the way during tile/paint days
- Finish stage last: set the fixtures once the room is done being built around them
- We coordinate directly with your contractor on inspection scheduling
