Aces Highlands installs plumbing fixtures with precision and care. From kitchen faucets to bathroom toilets, we make sure everything is properly connected, tested, and leak-free.
We install all types of residential plumbing fixtures including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, and tub fillers. We work with fixtures you have purchased or can help you select the right option.

Auburn Homes and What They Need
Auburn's median home was built in 1954, with 38 percent of housing dating before 1940 and 57 percent before 1960 -- slightly older on average than Lewiston's stock, concentrated in the shoe- and mill-era neighborhoods that grew up after the city's 1848 rail connection went in. That vintage of housing is exactly where rewiring work tends to turn up knob-and-tube remnants and undersized panels.
Water Supply and Drains in Auburn
The Auburn Water District draws from Lake Auburn and supplies both Auburn and Lewiston, with the city coordinating on development near the source through the Lake Auburn Watershed Commission. Wastewater goes to the same joint Lewiston-Auburn regional treatment authority that handles Lewiston's flow. On older Auburn properties, that shared infrastructure is worth knowing before a sewer line repair traces back to the main.
Getting to Know Auburn
Auburn once had one of the largest shoe industries in the country -- by 1917 the city's factories were turning out roughly 75 percent of the world's supply of white canvas shoes, before the industry faded after World War II. That manufacturing boom is a big part of why Auburn's older neighborhoods look the way they do today.
Auburn sits across the Androscoggin River from Lewiston, and the two cities share more than a border: they draw water together through the Auburn Water District, and the Little Androscoggin River cuts through Auburn as well. Auburn also runs its own municipal Electrical Department, which both maintains the city's traffic signals and streetlights and handles the city's electrical code inspections.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Auburn gets treated. Technicians are not on commission, so the recommendation you get is the one your house actually needs. Earning the next call, not hitting a sales target, is the entire business plan.

Fixture Installation: Faucets, Toilets & What Fails First
Fixture replacement is usually the most visible plumbing work in a home, and also where a rushed installation shows up fastest — a faucet that wiggles, a toilet that rocks, a drain that was never quite sealed right.

Codes & Permits for Fixture Installation in Auburn
In Auburn, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Planning, Permitting & Code, City of Auburn (60 Court Street, Auburn, ME 04210 (Auburn City Hall), (207) 333-6600). With 24,061 residents, Auburn is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Auburn grew as a mill town after the railroad arrived in 1848, powered by falls on the Androscoggin and Little Androscoggin Rivers; its shoe-manufacturing industry once produced a majority of the world's white canvas shoes (1917).
- Plumbing work in Maine is performed by state-licensed Master or Journeyman plumbers (with licensed apprentices working under them), as established and examined by the Plumbers' Examining Board. maine.gov
- The Local Plumbing Inspector can reject work that doesn't meet code, order corrections, and must issue a written approval before a plumbing permit is considered closed. mainelegislature.org
- Plumbing repairs and fixture work are permitted and enforced locally by each municipality's Local Plumbing Inspector, appointed under state law. mainelegislature.org
- Every Maine municipality must annually appoint at least one Local Plumbing Inspector (LPI), who does not have to live in that town, to issue plumbing permits and enforce the state's plumbing rules and Subsurface Wastewater Disposal (septic) rules locally. mainelegislature.org
How Aces Highlands Handles Fixture Installation in Auburn
- 38% of Auburn's housing predates 1940 (median year built 1954), so before quoting a fixture installation we find out what's actually in the walls — galvanized, cast iron, early copper or PEX.
- Auburn Water District (jointly serves Auburn and Lewiston) supplies most of Auburn from Lake Auburn; we handle everything downstream of that meter, fixture by fixture.
- Anything that needs a permit gets one through the Planning, Permitting & Code, City of Auburn, built to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Maine adopted in 2022.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.

I've had an excellent experience working with them for both electrical and HVAC work as I remodel my 1785 home. I highly recommend them.

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!

Where to begin? These guys hooked up a sauna for me and did an amazing job, it was not a small job. Projects big or small, these guys are my go to. Responsive, reasonably priced, and professional. In a world where it is tough to get good service, I'm thrilled to have these guys in my phone.
Fixture Installation FAQs
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet for you to install?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures every week, and we are glad to advise on brands and configurations before you buy so the fixture fits your sink or rough-in. We can also supply the fixture if you prefer one-stop convenience.
How long does fixture installation take?
A straightforward faucet or toilet replacement usually takes one to two hours. Garbage disposals, shower valves, and installations where old shutoff valves or corroded connections need replacement can take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Should my old shutoff valves be replaced during a fixture swap?
Often, yes. Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years frequently seize or weep once disturbed. Replacing a worn shutoff during a fixture installation costs little while everything is already apart — and it means you can actually shut water off in an emergency.
Do new fixtures really lower my water bill?
They can. WaterSense-labeled faucets and toilets use 20-60% less water than older models — a pre-1994 toilet can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush versus 1.28 for a modern one. For a busy household, that difference shows up on the bill.
Will you try to upsell me on other plumbing work while you are here?
No. Aces Highlands is a local Portland company, not a franchise — nobody here works on commission. If we happen to spot a genuine safety or leak issue while working, we will point it out and let you decide. Otherwise we do the job you called us for.
