Yes — Done’s licensed plumbers handle complete kitchen plumbing installations and renovations, from rough-in work for new construction and major remodels to fixture hookups, appliance connections, and upgrades on existing kitchens. Kitchen plumbing involves more moving parts than many homeowners expect, and having an experienced plumber involved early in the project prevents the costly surprises that show up when plumbing is an afterthought.
What Kitchen Plumbing Installation Covers
A kitchen renovation or new installation typically involves several plumbing tasks that need to happen in the right sequence alongside cabinet installation, countertop work, and electrical. Done’s team can handle:
- Rough-in plumbing for sink drain and supply lines at new or relocated locations
- Drain and vent modifications when the sink location changes from the original position
- Kitchen sink installation — undermount, drop-in, or farmhouse styles
- Garbage disposal installation and dishwasher drain connection
- Dishwasher supply line hookup
- Refrigerator ice maker and water dispenser supply line
- Pot filler installation (requires a dedicated water line roughed in behind the range)
- Instant hot water dispensers
- Under-sink filtration or reverse osmosis system installation
Why Kitchen Plumbing Needs to Be Early in the Renovation Sequence
Kitchen renovations have a dependency chain that affects scheduling. Rough-in plumbing — moving drain lines, adding supply connections, adjusting venting — must happen before cabinets are installed and walls are closed. Getting the plumber in at the rough-in stage allows for inspection before everything is covered. Trim-out work (connecting fixtures and appliances) comes later, after counters are set and cabinets are in place.
In Denver-area homes, especially those built in the mid-20th century, it’s common to open up a kitchen wall and find galvanized steel supply lines that are significantly corroded, or cast iron drain lines that are partially blocked with decades of scale. A kitchen renovation is often the natural opportunity to replace these lines — and Colorado’s notoriously hard water makes the scale problem more common here than in softer-water markets.
Moving the Sink: What It Takes
Homeowners frequently want to move the kitchen sink — to an island, to a different wall, or to face a window. This is absolutely doable, but it requires relocating the drain line, which means accessing the floor or ceiling below, adjusting the venting, and potentially running new supply lines to the new location. Done’s plumbers assess the existing drain and vent configuration and give you a realistic picture of what the move involves before the project starts — so there are no surprises mid-renovation.
Water Quality in the Kitchen
Many Front Range homeowners take a kitchen renovation as the opportunity to address hard water at the point of use. Under-sink reverse osmosis systems provide filtered drinking and cooking water at the sink without treating the whole house. If you’re installing a new kitchen, roughing in a dedicated drain line for an RO system’s waste water and a separate filtered-water faucet hole is easy to do during the renovation and difficult to add later.
Done offers water quality treatment solutions including under-sink filtration — it’s worth discussing during your kitchen project consultation rather than after the counters are already in.
Permits for Kitchen Plumbing Work
Kitchen plumbing work that involves relocating drain or supply lines, adding new connections, or modifying venting typically requires a permit in Colorado jurisdictions. Done handles permit coordination as part of the project — we pull the permit, the work gets inspected, and you have documentation that the plumbing was done correctly. This matters for home insurance and for future buyers of the home.
