        "text": "Deciding whether to replace all plumbing pipes or just upgrade fixtures depends on the condition and age of your existing system, as well as your renovation goals. If you have older, corroded pipes (like galvanized steel or lead), frequent leaks, or low water pressure, a full pipe replacement is often a wiser, long-term investment. Upgrading only fixtures is suitable if your current piping is sound and up to code. Frasheski Construction can assess your current system to help you make an informed decision based on the specific needs of your Berkeley-area home.",
