Expert plumbing installation services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
Plumbing installation in Brooklyn supports every kitchen, bathroom, and laundry project — from fixture installs and re-pipes to new water supply lines, drain/waste/vent systems, and gas piping. Lion Construction Management coordinates licensed plumbers for all plumbing scope — rough-in and finish plumbing for kitchens and bathrooms, water heater installation, gas line work, washing machine hookups, and complete re-pipes of aging systems. All plumbing work is permitted and inspected per NYC DOB requirements, with final sign-off before closeout.
Brooklyn renovation permitting varies significantly by neighborhood and building type. Brownstone and townhouse renovations in landmarked districts like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Fort Greene require Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for any exterior work and sometimes interior structural changes. Attached row houses share party walls with neighbors, which introduces structural considerations and party-wall agreements for any work that touches shared walls. Brooklyn co-ops and condos have their own alteration agreement processes, though typically less onerous than Manhattan. Lion Construction Management has filed hundreds of Brooklyn DOB permits and LPC applications — we know the neighborhood-specific requirements before work begins.

Mechanical systems in Brooklyn buildings — especially brownstones and pre-war townhouses — often involve modernizing century-old infrastructure. Galvanized steel supply pipes, cast-iron waste stacks, knob-and-tube wiring, and oil-fired boilers are common. Lion Construction Management coordinates licensed contractors to assess existing conditions, design upgrades, file DOB permits, and execute the work. In brownstones, plumbing and electrical runs are typically exposed in the cellar and concealed on upper floors — our project managers plan access points and patch strategies to minimize wall damage. Expect an initial survey of existing conditions, a phased plan that keeps your home habitable during work, and inspections at each stage before walls are closed up.
If your Brooklyn home has galvanized steel, lead, or cast-iron pipes that are corroding, leaking, or reducing water pressure, replacement is strongly recommended. Many brownstones, converted lofts, row houses, new-construction condos, and multi-family homes built before 1960 have aging pipe systems. We assess your existing plumbing and recommend targeted or full re-piping based on condition.
Plumbing costs during a Brooklyn renovation vary: fixture installation runs $500–$2,000 per fixture, water heater replacement $2,000–$5,000, and full apartment re-piping $8,000–$20,000+. Kitchen and bathroom rough-in plumbing typically accounts for 10–15% of the total renovation budget. We provide detailed breakdowns.
