Waterworks. THG Paris. Lefroy Brooks. Watermark. Boffi. Each brand has its own installation specifications, its own torque tolerances, and its own warranty conditions. An apprentice install will, in most cases, void the manufacturer's coverage — and a coverage-voiding install on a $3,400 thermostatic shower valve is not a small failure. We carry the manufacturer-certification documentation for each brand and we will produce it on request.
This practice is most often a renovation-coordination engagement. The fixture install is the final step in a sequence that includes the demolition, the rough-in, the tile, the millwork, and the painter. We schedule the fixture install against your GC's master schedule and protect the fixtures from the surrounding trades.
What we install routinely
- Waterworks
- The Greenwich-area benchmark. We are certified on the Henry, Easton, and Decotype lines and carry the installation documentation.
- THG Paris
- French manufacturer, heavier ceramic-disc cartridges, particular tolerances on the wall-mount installations. We install ten to fifteen THG Paris systems per year.
- Lefroy Brooks
- English manufacturer, traditional and Mackintosh lines. The cross-handle installations carry their own torque specification.
- Watermark
- Brooklyn-based, broader contemporary line. We install across the residential range, with particular attention to the deck-mounted bath fillers.
- Boffi
- Italian, used most often in contemporary new construction. We coordinate directly with Boffi's New York technical contact for any non-standard installations.
Pricing
Fixture installation is quoted as part of a project scope rather than as standalone hourly labor. A typical master-bath fixture-only refresh on a single bathroom runs $4,800–$9,200 in labor depending on accessibility, brand, and the number of pieces involved (sink, tub, shower system, toilet, body-jets, hand-shower).
