Whole-Home Repiping Cost in Tampa Bay

Whole-home repipe pricing in Tampa Bay tracks two big variables: square footage (which drives linear feet of pipe and number of fixture connections) and material choice (PEX vs copper). Here is what we typically see on real Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco jobs:

PEX whole-home repipe (most common in Tampa):

• 2 bath, 1,500 sqft single-story: $4,500 to $6,500
• 3 bath, 2,000 sqft single-story or two-story: $5,500 to $8,500
• 4 bath, 3,000 sqft larger home: $7,500 to $11,500

Copper whole-home repipe (3 to 4x the material cost):

• 2 bath, 1,500 sqft: $9,500 to $14,500
• 3 bath, 2,000 sqft: $11,500 to $17,500
• 4 bath, 3,000 sqft: $14,500 to $22,500

What moves the price up or down:

• Above-slab vs slab tunnel reroute: running new lines through attic and walls is the standard path. If we have to tunnel under a slab to abandon failed lines, add $1,500 to $3,500.
• Drywall patching: some quotes include patching, others bill it separately at $895 to $2,495 depending on access cuts.
• Permit and inspection: Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco permits run $295 to $595.
• Crawl space vs attic accessibility: tight attics or low crawl spaces add labor hours.
• Fixture count: more sinks, hose bibs, and tub valves = more tie-ins.
• Water heater rework: if we are repiping and you also want a tankless or 50-gallon swap, plan for $1,800 to $4,500 on top.

A typical Tampa whole-home repipe runs 1 to 3 days for the plumbing portion, plus 1 to 2 days of drywall patching after inspection passes. Here is how the timeline shakes out:

Day 0 (FREE in-home estimate): we walk the home, count fixtures, check attic and crawl space access, identify slab vs above-slab routing, and write a flat-rate quote. No diagnostic fee, no obligation.

Permit pull: Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco issue plumbing permits within 24 to 48 hours of submission. We handle the paperwork.

Day 1 to 2 (plumbing work): water shut off at the meter, new PEX runs pulled through attic and wall cavities, tied into every fixture (kitchen, baths, laundry, hose bibs, water heater), pressure tested at 100 PSI for 15+ minutes to verify zero leaks.

Day 2 to 3 (county inspection): inspector arrives in a 2 to 4 hour window, verifies pressure test and code compliance, signs the permit.

Day 3 to 4 (drywall patching): access cuts patched, mudded, sanded. Most homeowners handle the final paint touch-up themselves to match existing wall color.
