"Bath Planet came out and remodeled my Bathroom Shower, they were professional, and they did this with in 4 hours, they cleaned up after themselves. We had odd shaped walls but they handled this professionally. Mike the installer was professional, but he did a quality job, he also run into a little plumbing problems, so I had to get my own plumber there to help them out, otherwise everything was good. I am happy so far, it is been 2 weeks of using my new shower and so far so good, very easy cleanup, just wipe down which I Love!!"

Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely first rate. Not cheap, but if you want the best in home remodeling, Andy Scott and his father, Roger, is who you go to. Professional, punctual, always on top of things, a delight to  be around. This was a five week project. Andy and Roger did a lot of the work themselves, but they also used high quality subs: flooring, tile, plumbing, cabinet doors, electrical, painting the kitchen cabinets and credenza (CR Painting-not often you can find a painter who does first class work on cabinets). I would have never been able to find and coordinate the level of skilled professionals that Andy did. The project went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely hire Scott's Home Renewal again -- and I will.

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

Functional plumbing changes require permits and inspections in Waukee, while purely cosmetic fixture swaps do not. However, hard water mineral staining often masks underlying functional deterioration. Always inspect supply lines during cosmetic upgrades to ensure all connections remain secure. Older properties face hidden cast iron drain failures, making camera inspections essential before starting cosmetic bathroom remodels.

Helpful?

Account for local water quality and climate conditions. The municipal water supply carries high mineral content and historical nitrate issues, making point-of-entry filtration systems a smart addition. For exterior plumbing, install all underground lines below the 42-inch IA frost depth to prevent freezing. Finally, verify HOA rules regarding utility box placement before starting exterior work in newer Waukee subdivisions.

Helpful?

Local permit rules heavily influence your timeline. Waukee requires rough-in inspections before closing walls, forcing a multi-visit schedule for extensive plumbing work. Additionally, older neighborhoods with galvanized pipes demand more exploratory work than newer subdivisions with accessible full basements. High demand for local professionals also means same-day return visits are rare, requiring careful project scheduling.

Helpful?

Combining upgrades offers significant benefits for your home. Waukee allows combination permits for remodeling, which consolidates your inspection schedule. Because central IA has notably hard water, upgrade your water heater and install a water softener simultaneously to extend the appliance's lifespan. Plan exterior plumbing work during spring or fall to avoid frozen ground and winter weather complications.

Helpful?

Address freeze risks immediately from October through March to protect your home from sub-zero temperatures. Sump pump failures also require urgent attention during the spring snowmelt. Because Waukee has hard water, replace water heaters older than eight years promptly to prevent sudden appliance failure. Delaying permitted plumbing work risks permit expiration, requiring a complete re-application process.
