Episode 02: Plumbing fixture, replacements, and upgrades

 

Time for an Upgrade? Why New Plumbing Fixtures Are Worth It

Outdated plumbing fixtures don’t just look bad—they can waste water, reduce comfort, and even affect your home’s resale value. Whether you’re remodeling your bathroom, refreshing your kitchen, or just tired of that leaky old faucet, upgrading your fixtures can make a big difference.

At North County Plumbing, we help homeowners across Templeton, Atascadero, Paso Robles, and surrounding coastal communities upgrade their homes with high-quality plumbing fixtures—professionally installed and built to last.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Plumbing Fixtures

If you’re on the fence, here are a few clear signs that your fixtures are ready for an upgrade:

  • Constant dripping or leaking

  • Corroded or stained finishes

  • Poor water pressure

  • Outdated styles that clash with the rest of the room

  • Loose or wobbly handles and valves

  • Water spots, rust, or mineral buildup that won’t clean off

Even if your fixtures still “work,” modern replacements can save you money on water bills and add value to your home.

Popular Fixture Upgrades We Install

We work with all major brands and styles, from traditional to modern. Here are some of the most common upgrades we handle:

  • Kitchen Faucets – Pull-down sprayers, touchless activation, and filtered water options

  • Bathroom Sink Faucets – Sleek single-handle designs or classic widespread faucets

  • Showerheads – Rainfall, handheld, high-pressure, or eco-friendly low-flow options

  • Toilets – Water-saving dual-flush models, comfort-height seating, and quiet-close lids

  • Bathtubs and Showers – Valve replacements, diverters, and custom fixture packages

  • Outdoor Hose Bibs – Freeze-proof and upgraded spigots for convenience and durability

We’ll help you choose the right fixtures for your home, your budget, and your lifestyle.
