Plumbing for builders and general contractors
What we do on a build
Rough-in
The under-slab and in-wall pipe laid out for the slab pour and the studs.
Top-out
Stacks and venting brought up before the roof deck goes on.
Trim-out
Fixture set, the finish plumbing that closes the job out.
Gas lines
Gas supply run to the appliances, pressure-tested and to code.
Water heater set
Heater sized to the home and set up to vent and supply right.
Fixture set
Sinks, faucets, toilets and the rest, installed and checked.
The permit
The plumbing permit pulled by JK Ranch, where one is required.
The honest version of who you're hiring
JK Ranch Plumbing started in 2026. Jacob Pryor is the master plumber, license M-47091, and he has been in the trade a little over ten years. He is the only plumber.
That means two things a builder should weigh. First, the schedule is real rather than padded — there is no crew sitting around to send, and the same licensed plumber is on the job from rough-in through trim-out. No rotating crew and no apprentice left unsupervised. The license on the job is the same one on the truck.
Second, the capacity is what one plumber's capacity is. Getting on the schedule early matters. Jacob would rather know the slab pour date and the dry-in date ahead of time than chase a moving target. Say both halves and weigh it against your build.
Permits and inspections
JK Ranch pulls the plumbing permit. Inside city limits the city building department does plan review and inspection. In unincorporated areas of these counties there is often no plumbing permit or inspection at all — and the plumbing still has to be done to code, because the code is what the next inspector, appraiser or buyer's inspector will measure it against.
Either way the work is to code, and the permit is on JK Ranch.
More on permits and licensingWorking to your schedule
To hold a slot, Jacob needs to know three things: the slab pour date, the dry-in date, and when trim-out is expected. That is what keeps the plumbing tied to the rest of the build instead of chasing it.
A build schedule that slips is normal. Jacob would rather be told early than find out on the day. A heads-up buys time to work around it; a surprise on the pour date does not.
Remodels and additions
Tie-ins to existing lines, older cast iron and galvanised, re-routing where the new layout calls for it. Opening up an old house always turns up something — a line that was run wrong, a stack that has moved, a connection that no longer meets code.
Change orders get priced and agreed before the extra work happens, not added to the invoice after the fact. You see the number before the extra cut gets made.
What we don't do
No septic systems, no water well drilling, no backflow testing, no hydro jetting. Say it plainly so nobody wastes a call. If a job needs one of those, Jacob will say so and point you to who does it.
