Expert plumbing installation services for Manhattan homes and businesses
Plumbing installation in Manhattan 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.
Renovation permits in Manhattan involve NYC Department of Buildings filings, but the real complexity lies in building-specific requirements. Co-op boards typically require alteration agreements, architect-stamped plans, detailed construction schedules, neighbor notification, insurance certificates naming the building as additionally insured, and security deposits. Many buildings restrict construction hours to weekdays 8 AM–5 PM and require all materials to arrive via freight elevator with advance scheduling. Lion Construction Management manages this entire process — from initial board package preparation through final sign-off — so you never have to navigate it alone.

Mechanical systems work in Manhattan — electrical, HVAC, and plumbing — requires licensed contractors, DOB permits, and building management coordination. After design and permitting (typically 2-4 weeks), our licensed contractors perform rough-in work first, opening walls and ceilings to run new lines, install panels or equipment, and connect to building infrastructure. Manhattan buildings often have specific requirements for tie-ins to risers, meter installations, and system shutdowns that affect other units. Lion Construction Management coordinates all of these logistics, scheduling inspections at each phase and managing the timeline so your renovation isn't delayed by mechanical work. Final testing and commissioning ensure everything performs as designed before we close up walls.
If your Manhattan home has galvanized steel, lead, or cast-iron pipes that are corroding, leaking, or reducing water pressure, replacement is strongly recommended. Many pre-war co-ops, luxury condominiums, brownstones, townhouses, and high-rise apartments 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 Manhattan 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.
