How the job is handled
Island sinks need special venting, often an approved air admittance valve or an island vent loop, and a drain route through the floor. Dishwashers need a high loop or air gap to stop backflow. Fridge lines should use proper fittings and a shut-off.
We install supply valves you can reach easily, so future repairs are simple.
We often install a dedicated shut-off for each appliance, making future repairs simple. Pot fillers need a supply line in the wall behind the stove, planned before tile goes up.

Local card: Whitby houses
Kitchen renovations in Whitby often move from galley to open layouts. That shift moves the sink, which affects drain slope and venting.
