Collin County is one of the fastest-growing places in the country, and McKinney is right in the middle of the boom. New neighborhoods in Craig Ranch, Tucker Hill, Painted Tree, and beyond are going up alongside kitchen and bath remodels in established homes across town. Plumbing is the part of that work you never see once the walls close, which is exactly why it has to be done right the first time.
New construction and remodel plumbing is a different discipline from emergency repair. It is planning, layout, and coordination — reading the plans, setting the drain, waste, and vent system, running supply lines, meeting every code requirement, and timing each phase around the other trades so nothing holds up the build. Get the rough-in right and the finish-out is smooth; get it wrong and you are opening finished walls to fix it.
We work with homeowners, builders, and remodelers on projects from a single bathroom to a whole house. Our Texas-licensed Responsible Master Plumber puts every job to code, we pull the permits, and we coordinate the inspections so your project keeps moving. Call (831) 290-4327 to talk through your plans.

How we handle it
- 1
Review plans and scope
We read the drawings, walk the space, and lay out the plumbing so fixtures land where you want them and the system meets code.
- 2
Permit and coordinate
We pull the required permits and schedule our phases around framing, electrical, and HVAC so plumbing never becomes the bottleneck.
- 3
Rough-in
We install the drain, waste, and vent piping and run the supply lines while the walls are open, then call for the rough-in inspection.
- 4
Set fixtures at finish-out
After walls and flooring are in, we set and connect toilets, sinks, faucets, tubs, showers, and appliances.
- 5
Test, inspect, and hand off
We pressure-test the system, pass the final inspection, and walk the finished plumbing with you before we close out.
Rough-in: the work behind the walls
The rough-in is the foundation of the whole plumbing system, done while the framing is open. We set the drain, waste, and vent lines at the correct slope so everything drains and the traps stay sealed, and we run supply lines to every fixture location. This is where careful layout pays off — a fixture roughed in an inch off, or a vent done wrong, is a problem you fix now or regret later.
Building on Blackland Prairie clay
Plumbing a new McKinney home means respecting the same expansive clay soil that gives older homes slab leaks. Water and sewer lines running through and under a new slab have to be installed to handle the ground movement this soil is known for. Good practices at the rough-in stage — proper materials, support, and routing — give the system its best shot at a long, leak-free life on soil that never sits still.
It is one more reason to use a plumber who works in this area every day. The soil is not a surprise to us, and we build with it in mind rather than learning about it after the fact.
Remodels and additions
Remodel plumbing carries its own challenge: tying new work into an existing system that may be decades old. In a McKinney kitchen or bath remodel we relocate drains and supply lines, upgrade what we open up, and make sure the new fixtures are properly vented and supplied. When we open a wall in an older home and find aging galvanized or cast-iron pipe, we tell you so you can decide whether to upgrade it while it is accessible.
- Relocating sinks, toilets, tubs, and appliances
- Extending supply and drain lines for an addition
- Adding a bathroom, laundry, or wet bar
- Upgrading dated pipe exposed during the remodel
- Setting all the new fixtures at finish-out

New construction and remodel plumbing is quoted per project from the plans and scope — there is no flat price. We give a detailed estimate after reviewing the drawings and the space.
- Number of fixtures and bathrooms in the project
- New build versus tying into an existing system
- How far supply and drain lines must be extended
- Whether fixtures are being relocated in a remodel
- Condition of existing pipe uncovered during work
- Permit and inspection requirements
- Fixture and material selections you choose
- Coordination and phasing around other trades
