What Every New Garage Should Have
.... and probably won't, unless you ask
Installing these plumbing items while the house is under construction will save you thousands of dollars later on, and eliminate the inconvenience and mess of having to tear up the basement floor and/or foundation walls.
* All prices shown are based on Manufacturer's Suggested List Price
- Hot/Cold Freezeless Faucets Near the Garage
starting at $19.00
These freezeless faucets are designed to provide year round hot and cold water service regardless of outside temperature.

While this might seem to be a frivolous luxury at first, consider how often warm water has to be hauled from the kitchen outdoors to wash the car or other bulky items.
- Garage Utility Sink

A great way to minimize bringing dirt into the house, is with a utility sink in the garage.
A garage sink is the perfect place to wash hands and dirty boots, clean paint brushes and tools, pot plants ... all those clean-up projects that all too often end up in your kitchen sink.

in cold climates, make sure the pipes
are insulated or use freezeless faucets
