Whole-Home Repipe (PEX or Copper)

This proposal covers a complete water-supply repipe of the residence at {{client_address}} — approximately {{home_sqft}} sq ft with {{bath_count}} bathrooms. Existing material: {{existing_material}}. New material: {{new_material}}.

Pre-construction

• Walkthrough to identify fixture locations and any desired relocations

• Plan drywall cut locations for minimum disruption

• Pull permit from AHJ

Isolation & removal

• Shut off main water supply; drain existing system

• Open drywall at planned access points; cut and remove existing supply piping

• Cap stubs at fixtures for shutoff during construction

• Existing pipes inside walls left in place (dead-line) where removal would require excessive demo — only live pipes are abandoned

New supply install

• Install new {{new_material}} manifold near the main water shutoff

• Run home-run lines to each fixture (manifold system) OR trunk-and-branch per design

• New quarter-turn shutoff valves at each fixture

• Pressure-test at 100 PSI for 30 minutes before sheetrock closure

• Insulate hot and cold lines in unconditioned spaces per IECC

Reconnection

• Reconnect all fixtures (faucets, toilets, tub/shower valves, hose bibs, washing machine, ice maker, water heater)

• Install new shutoff valves at each fixture

• Install pressure-reducing valve at main if incoming pressure exceeds 80 PSI

Drywall & paint

• Patch all access holes with drywall

• Texture-match to existing

• Prime and paint one coat color on patched areas (no full wall repaint unless itemized)

Inspection & closeout

• AHJ rough and final inspection

• Final pressure test with AHJ present

• Homeowner walkthrough on manifold shutoffs and new fixture operation

Estimated duration: 5–10 working days.

• **Days 1–2:** Access cuts, pipe removal

• **Days 3–5:** New pipe install, pressure test, rough inspection

• **Days 6–8:** Drywall patch, texture, paint

• **Days 9–10:** Final inspection, punch, walkthrough

Start date: {{start_date}}. Water is off during working hours only; {{contractor_name}} restores water at end of each day where practical.

Total contract price: {{total}}

• **Deposit: {{deposit}}** — signing

• **Rough-in complete: 50%** — new pipe installed and pressure tested

• **Final: remainder** — final inspection and walkthrough

Draws invoiced at milestone with photo documentation. Due within 5 business days.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Drain, waste, and vent (DWV) system replacement — this template covers supply lines only

• Sewer line or main water line from meter to house (priced separately)

• Fixture replacement (this template reconnects existing fixtures)

• Gas line modifications

• Water softener or whole-house filtration install

• Hazardous material (asbestos, lead paint) abatement in pre-1980 homes

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• Accessible attic or crawlspace for pipe routing

• Existing fixtures are in serviceable condition for reuse (worn-out fixtures are flagged during walkthrough and replaced by Change Order)

• {{client_name}} is flexible on daily water shutoffs during the repipe phase

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
