So, i am going thru a basement (future rental suite) reno right now, and i want to replace my old exterior spigots with the frost free versions. Now, my floor joists are cast in the concrete, which means i don't have a traditional wood rim joist. Would a plumber need to cut the hole in the concrete larger to fit the new fixture or should the same hole accomodate it?
the reason i am asking is the contractor told me it would be upwards of $1000 to have the plumber replace the 2 spigots, because he would need to core the hole larger and it adds cost and labour.
anybody have a true cost idea what this should job should be?
