A Repipe can vary in cost depending on many different factors such as:
- Size of home
- Foundation type
- 1, 2, or 3 stories
- Materials used
- Options added
But If you own an average home in the San Jose bay area that needs to be repiped, here are some base costs to give you an idea of what your budget should look like:
- 3bed 2ba 1500sq/ft or less. Crawl Space. Single Story Copper Repipe. Base Price, no options added.
- $11,995 (crawl space foundation)
- $13,995 (slab foundation)

BUT WHAT IF I HAVE A LOWER BID FROM ANOTHER CONTRACTOR…?
Contractors who provide a low bid are usually getting to that number by skimping out on proper/high quality materials for the job, not properly staffing the job with adequate labor and training, not carrying proper insurance and/or don’t have fully staffed company to take your calls and handle administrative tasks before, during and after your repipe. Being that your home is one of your largest investments working with a lower bidding contractor presents a huge risk as they usually won’t tell you which one of these they are cutting corners on, and you as the homeowner will tend to find out the hard way.
