What repipes cost in Dallas
Roughly 70 % of a repipe bill goes to labor, per Angi. Because labor makes up much of the bill, local wages can affect the estimate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that plumbers around Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington make $29.94 an hour on average, while the Texas statewide figure is $29.22. Both are below the national average of $34.70 an hour.
With those cheaper wages, the calculator prices that same 1,800 sq ft, 2-bath PEX house in Texas at roughly $5,700 to $10,500. Run the same house at US average labor and it lands between $6,400 and $11,800.
PEX pipe is bendable plastic, usually red for hot lines and blue for cold. Among the pipes the calculator prices, it's the cheapest.
Prices by house size and bathrooms
Repipe pricing follows square footage and bathroom count, not bedrooms. Two bathrooms is standard for a 3-bedroom house. The estimates below assume a 1-floor PEX home over a crawl space and US average labor rates, so Texas estimates tend to come in a bit lower.
| Baths | Square footage | Cost estimate | Days needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,200 sq ft | roughly $4,100 to $7,700 | two to three days |
| 2 | 1,800 sq ft | roughly $6,400 to $11,800 | two to three days |
| 3 | 2,400 sq ft | roughly $7,500 to $14,400 | three to four days |
| 4 or more | 3,200 sq ft | roughly $10,600 to $21,200 | four to five days |
Adding a second floor raises the price too. That same 1,800 sq ft, 2-bath house on 2 floors runs roughly $7,000 to $13,200 and takes two to four days.
Do slab foundations cost more?
Yes. Pipes under a concrete slab are harder to reach, so the job takes more work. A slab is a concrete floor poured right on the ground, with the pipes under it or embedded in it. A crawl space means a shallow open area beneath a raised floor, and plumbers can reach the pipes there more easily.
Using US average labor, the 1,800 sq ft, 2-bath PEX house on a slab runs roughly $8,300 to $16,300. Over a crawl space, that same job lands between $6,400 and $11,800. One cost guide figures the slab adds 25 to 50 % to labor (Geek Powered Studios). If your house is on a slab, a company that visits can explain how your pipes are laid out and what the job will run.
PEX, CPVC, or copper
Your pipe choice affects both price and timeline. CPVC is stiff plastic pipe in a cream or tan color, and copper is metal joined together with solder. The figures here assume a 1,800 sq ft, 2-bath house over a crawl space, using US average labor rates.
| Pipe | Cost estimate | Days needed |
|---|---|---|
| PEX | roughly $6,400 to $11,800 | two to three days |
| CPVC | roughly $7,400 to $12,800 | two to three days |
| Copper | roughly $9,400 to $18,800 | three to five days |
The work of a repipe specialist
A repipe specialist handles whole-house repipes and no other kind of work. One Houston company keeps it simple, saying its crew does repipes and nothing else (houston.repipe.com). That company says each quote covers wall patching, permit pulls, passing inspection, and a lifetime warranty.
Look closely at what each quote includes before you weigh prices against each other. For the same job, quotes can vary by $2,000 to $5,000, per Geek Powered Studios. Texas's state plumbing board likewise tells homeowners to make sure any plumber they hire carries a license (tsbpe.texas.gov).
Staying home while the repipe happens
Most families do. One repipe company notes that families typically live at home through the whole job (repipesolutionsinc.com). The calculator estimates two to five days for most homes, and four to six days for a 3,200 sq ft two-story home.
