Hey folks, I'm in the middle of a shower remodel and I need to reroute the hot and cold water pipes from the center to the left side. I'll be hiring a plumber to take out some push connectors, switch to PEX, and get the pipes re-routed. The good news is that the walls are already open and we only have to deal with the studs. I'm located in northern Illinois, so I'm curious—how much should I expect to pay for this job?

Honestly, if you're looking for a ballpark figure, around $350 might do it, but again, it really depends on the specifics of your situation and your plumber.
If you’re up for it, you could save some cash by doing it yourself! It might only cost you a few bucks if you handle it on your own, but it sounds like you might want a pro for this one.
The cost can really vary based on where you live and how busy the plumbing market is in your area. I've heard estimates ranging from $600 to as much as $3000. It’s a good idea to call around and get a few quotes—at least three so you can compare.
Yeah, that's definitely wise! I’d recommend checking out reviews too while you're at it.
I appreciate the suggestion! DIYing would definitely save money, but I’m not sure I have the skills for plumbing.
