Factors that may impact the cost:
1. Number of fixtures. You’ll spend more if you have a larger than normal number of fixtures connected to plumbing, for example, if your house has more than two bathrooms or an extra kitchen.
2. Access. Opening up the walls to extract the existing pipes can be costly. You’re in luck if you have a good amount of exposed plumbing, such as in an unfinished basement or crawlspace, or if you are opening the walls up anyway for a larger remodel.
3. Your geographic location. The going rate for plumbers varies depending on where you live. Below are a few examples of estimated costs in different cities around the US.

4. Number of stories. If you have a 2-story home as opposed to a 1-story, it’s usually a little more expensive.
5. Repairs and repainting of drywall after repiping.
6. Upgrading to copper pipes. PEX is usually less expensive than copper due to the cost of materials, as well as the material’s flexibility – it may not require as much wall demolition to install.
