- Pipe material — Copper costs more than PEX. Material choice affects both upfront cost and long-term durability.
- Full vs. partial repipe — Full repipes are more expensive but may be necessary for older systems. Partial repipes target problem areas.
- Access and complexity — Slab foundations, finished basements, and multi-story homes can add labor and complexity.
