Planning a Fixture Upgrade
Fixtures are not all interchangeable. A new faucet may need a different number of holes in the sink. A new toilet has a rough in measurement that has to match the drain location. A shower trim must be compatible with the valve already in the wall.
Checking those details before buying saves returns and surprises. If you are replacing a fixture during a remodel or simply updating a tired bathroom, the install is easier when the fit is confirmed first.
What Installation Covers
Installation includes removing the old fixture, checking shutoff valves and supply lines, setting the new fixture level and secure, sealing it properly, and connecting supply and drain lines.
Worn shutoff valves or old supply connectors are often replaced at the same time, since they are easiest to address when the fixture is out.

Questions about plumbing fixture installation
Can I buy my own fixture?
Yes. Share the model in your request so fit can be confirmed before the visit.
Will the new fixture use the old shutoff valves?
If they work well, yes. Stuck or leaking valves are worth replacing during the install.
