Plumbing in a New York City apartment or commercial space is never straightforward. Old pipes, tight spaces, building restrictions, and the need to coordinate with other trades all add layers of complexity that most contractors underestimate. At Paun Craft, we coordinate all plumbing work through licensed professionals as part of your renovation project — so you're not chasing a separate plumber while trying to keep the rest of your renovation on schedule.
Whether it's roughing in new supply and drain lines, relocating fixtures, installing a complete bathroom or kitchen plumbing system, or replacing aging pipes, we handle the coordination and execution as part of the full project scope. All plumbing work is performed in compliance with NYC building codes and coordinated with licensed plumbing professionals — across all five boroughs.

Why NYC Homeowners & Businesses Choose Paun Craft for Plumbing Services
01. Plumbing Coordinated With Your Full Renovation
The biggest plumbing mistakes happen when the plumber works in isolation from the rest of the renovation. We sequence plumbing rough-in correctly within the full project — before walls close, before tile goes down — so nothing has to be opened up again.
02. NYC Code Compliant, Every Time
New York City has specific plumbing codes and building requirements. All work we coordinate is performed by licensed professionals and meets current NYC building standards — so you're protected and your building management is satisfied.
03. Fixture Relocation Done Right
Moving a toilet or shower in an NYC apartment involves more than just running new pipes — it requires proper venting, correct fall on drain lines, and coordination with the building's stack. We know how to do this correctly so you don't end up with drainage problems down the road.
04. Protected Against Leaks & Water Damage (icon: shield / water drop)
In a New York City apartment building, a plumbing leak doesn't just damage your unit — it damages the units below you and can result in serious liability. We test every connection before walls close and before tile goes down. No shortcuts.
How Our NYC Plumbing Process Works
Free On-Site Assessment
We assess your existing plumbing layout, discuss what needs to change, and give you a clear written estimate. We'll flag any building requirements or potential complications upfront — before work begins.
Rough-In & Pipe Work
All supply and drain lines are run in the correct sequence, coordinated with framing and electrical rough-in. Every connection tested before walls are closed. No surprises after tile goes down.
Fixture Installation & Final Testing
Once finishes are in place, we install all fixtures — toilets, vanities, shower systems, faucets — and do a full pressure and drainage test before handover. Everything working perfectly before we leave.

Plumbing costs in NYC vary significantly by scope. A basic fixture replacement starts around $300–$800. Full bathroom plumbing rough-in typically ranges from $2,000 to $6,000+.

Most plumbing work in NYC that involves moving, adding, or replacing supply and drain lines requires a Department of Buildings permit. This includes bathroom and kitchen rough-in, pipe relocation, and new fixture installation.
Cosmetic fixture swaps — like replacing a faucet or showerhead — typically do not require a permit. Paun Craft advises on permit requirements during every estimate and coordinates the process as part of the project.
Yes — this is one of the key advantages of working with Paun Craft. Most NYC contractors require you to hire a separate plumber and coordinate between trades yourself.
We sequence plumbing rough-in as part of the full renovation — before walls close, before tile goes down — so nothing has to be opened up again. One team, one timeline, zero coordination chaos.
Yes — pipe replacement and repiping is one of the most common plumbing services we provide in NYC. Older buildings in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens frequently have galvanized steel pipes that corrode over time, causing low water pressure, rust-colored water, and slow leaks inside walls.
We replace them with copper or PEX piping and restore all affected walls and finishes as part of the same project.
