## Renovations are one of our specialties

Root House specializes in two kinds of work: new construction and renovations. A remodel is where the mechanical work gets tricky. Pipes, wires and ducts have to move, and the house you're working in was built to someone else's plan.

Root House is licensed and insured, and plumbing is done under Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber 5279. HVAC and electrical work is done by licensed and insured techs, so one call covers the mechanical side of your remodel.

## Remodels we work on

### Kitchens

Moving the sink or adding an island sink, a gas line for a new range, dedicated circuits for appliances, and under-cabinet lighting.

### Bathrooms

New layouts, tub-to-shower conversions, new shower valves, exhaust fans vented outside, and outlets with shock protection (GFCI).

### Additions

Water and drain lines extended to the new rooms, new circuits or a subpanel, and heating and cooling sized for the added space.

### Finished basements

A basement bathroom, which may need a pump to lift waste up to the sewer line (an ejector pump), plus circuits, lighting and heating and cooling.

### Garage and attic conversions

Heating and cooling for rooms the main system never served, often with a ductless mini-split, plus circuits and lighting.

### Whole-home updates

Repiping, a panel upgrade, new ductwork or rewiring, done while the walls and ceilings are open.

## How a renovation works with us

1. **Walkthrough.** We walk the space with you, and your remodeler if you have one, look at what's there and talk through the plan.
2. **Firm price.** You get a firm price for the plumbing, HVAC and electrical work before anything starts.
3. **Rough-in.** Pipes, wires and ducts go in while the walls and floors are open, in step with the rest of the remodel.
4. **Inspection.** Where the job needs a permit, the rough-in is inspected before the walls close up.
5. **Trim-out.** Fixtures, outlets, switches, lights and vents go in after drywall and paint.
6. **Final walkthrough.** We walk the finished work with you, run the water, the circuits and the heating and cooling, and answer your questions.

## Renovation questions

### Does my remodel need a permit?

Often, yes. Moving plumbing, adding circuits and changing ductwork usually need a permit and inspection, depending on your city or county. We'll tell you what your job needs when we give you the price.

### Can we live at home during the work?

Usually, yes. We'll tell you ahead of time when the water, the power or the heating and cooling needs to be off, and plan those shutoffs with you.

### Will you work with my remodeler or general contractor?

Yes. We can work under your remodeler or general contractor, or directly for you, and we line up our schedule with the rest of the remodel.

### What if you find old wiring or pipes behind the walls?

We stop and show you. Older homes can have cloth-covered or knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized steel pipe or gray plastic pipe (polybutylene). We'll explain what we found, whether it should be replaced, and the price before any added work starts.

### How is renovation work priced?

Each job is priced on its own. After the walkthrough, you get a firm price for the mechanical work before anything starts. If the plan changes, you get the price of the change before we do it.

### Do you handle the whole remodel?

Our part is the mechanical work: plumbing, HVAC and electrical. Framing, drywall, tile and cabinets are work for a remodeler or general contractor, and we work alongside them.
