Let the Games Begin... Plumbing is up to bat!

It’s now been 4 weeks from my closing date and I’ve been anxious to get the construction started. Time is ticking, and with a rental property every week of vacancy is money out of your pocket. The masons and roofers have been at a standstill with the recent crappy weather, but I’ve decided to pull the trigger on plumbing.

I’ve selected Chicagoland Plumbing as they had excellent reviews on Angie’s list. Edwin and his crew have been extremely responsive, polite, and provided great workmanship. The project scope included the removal of all old ¾” and ½” galvanized piping and replacing all the supply plumbing to the first and second floor units with the copper. They are also installing two brand new water heaters (I have requested to purchase on my own separately) which will have separate gas lines run for corresponding Units 1 and 2. Upon completion they will hook up kitchen and bath fixtures as necessary. I have budgeted $5,000 (water heaters included) for this project and their quote for labor and material is around $3,500. I’ve allocated $1,000 of the budget for purchasing new water heaters from Home Depot.

Below is a link to their website and a picture of some of the shinny new copper in the basement utility room. I highly recommend Edwin and his crew at Chicagoland plumbing for anyone that needs great work done at great prices. Thanks Edwin!
