PEX is flexible plastic tubing that’s easier to install and less expensive than copper for residential plumbing projects. It’s resistant to corrosion and freezing, and it can be routed through tight spaces without as many fittings during the repiping process.
Copper is the traditional choice for pipe replacement—it’s durable, has a long track record, and some Newcastle, CA homeowners prefer it for aesthetic reasons. It costs more upfront but has proven longevity in plumbing services.
For most Newcastle, CA homes, we recommend PEX because it offers excellent performance at a lower cost. The installation is faster, which means less disruption to your home during repiping. Both materials will outlast you when our residential plumbing services are installed properly, so the choice often comes down to budget and personal preference.
