Why Shop With Us

People ask us, “Why should I buy plumbing fixtures from Plumbed Elegance when I can get a better price online?” We have so many answers to that question.
​
When buying fixtures for a new home or remodel project, plumbing fixture purchases are very long-term investments.

​

Quality Products

​

You need to be assured of quality. This investment is most likely to last longer than the car you drive, longer than your washer and dryer, and much longer than your state-of-the-art computer or surround sound system.
​
It is our priority to sell you products that we believe will be long-lasting in your bathroom or kitchen. We have been serving Santa Cruz for over 35 years and have seen so many changes in our industry. Some for better and some for worse. Unfortunately, many of the good old brands that we all grew up with will no longer last the 50 years of their predecessors. Manufacturing has changed due to environmental regulation and consumer price pressure.

Brands that have been most influenced by pressures to keep prices low have sacrificed quality to do so. Brands that we knew and loved have succumbed to the lure of plastic parts and shoddy manufacturing. It behooves us to recommend brands for which we can confidently supply parts in the future. Once you add water, the aging of your products begins.

 

Lasting Relationships

 

We are here to help you when your faucet drips, your toilet runs, and your shower screams. We have relationships with our vendors to help you through the repair process, and that time will come.
​
When you find less-than-flawless performance, either during installation or later, you need a professional who can walk you through warranty service and repair. You cannot call the Internet. We only service what we sell.
 

We Help You Realize Your Vision

 

On the front end of the process, we have SO MANY ideas. We work with you to realize your dream. And don’t worry. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It’s important to develop a realistic budget. Once this is established, we can meet it or beat it. It is frustrating for everyone involved when a budget is not in place. We need to speak the same language.

Most of the time, luxury brands should not be placed in a first home or rental. We will respect that and introduce you to trusted value products. But when you’re ready to build your dream home or do that dream remodel, we would love to show you the world of luxury plumbing design. These fixtures are gorgeous and often fun to use. They’re conversational in their beauty and worth every cent. You will find your return on investment in the pleasure you get from using and looking at them every day.
