Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing for Nashville Renovations

Question 1

Can you work around our tight flip schedule without delaying other trades?

Answer

Yes — and this is specifically what separates investor-focused plumbing from residential service calls. We schedule rough-in immediately after demo completion so the framing and drywall crews have no wait. We provide your GC with a written rough-in completion date before we start, not after. For kitchen and bath combos on the same flip, we typically rough in both on the same visit to minimize mobilization costs and trade conflicts.

Question 2

What code requirements apply to new bathroom layouts in Davidson County?

Answer

Key requirements that catch Nashville flippers off guard: every new bathroom needs a properly sized wet vent or air admittance valve, minimum 18" clearance from toilet centerline to side walls and 21" clearance in front, GFCI outlets within 6 feet of all water sources, and exhaust fans vented to exterior (not to attic). For kitchen islands with sinks, a separate vent is typically required unless you're using an approved air admittance valve. We build code compliance into every rough-in — you won't fail inspection on our work.

Question 3

How do you handle existing polybutylene lines during a bathroom gut job?

Answer

If we encounter polybutylene (gray plastic pipe, often with gray or blue fittings) during a bath or kitchen gut, we flag it immediately and recommend full removal in the affected zone. Spot-repairing poly is a losing strategy — it's a class-action material that lenders and buyers increasingly flag. We can repipe the affected areas as a separate line item during the same mobilization, which is far cheaper than returning for a second visit later. We document everything for your disclosure file.

Question 4

What's the typical turnaround for a full kitchen plumbing rough-in on a flip?

Answer

A standard kitchen rough-in — existing drain lines removed, new drain and supply rough-ins for sink, dishwasher, and ice maker — runs one full day. If you're moving the sink location across the room or adding an island, budget two days. Full bath rough-ins (toilet, tub/shower, vanity) also run one day for standard layouts, two for wet room configurations or heavily reconfigured floor plans. We'll give you the specific timeline when we scope the job so your GC can schedule accordingly.

Question 5

Do you supply fixtures or should we source them separately?

Answer

We recommend you source fixtures yourself (or through your designer) to control budget and aesthetics. We install what you provide. That said, we're happy to recommend supply houses in Nashville — including Ferguson and Hajoca — that offer contractor pricing for investor accounts. We do maintain a small inventory of code-required components (p-traps, cleanouts, escutcheons) so minor field changes don't cause delays. For commercial-grade or specialty fixtures, give us the spec sheet before trim-out day so we can verify compatibility.
