Back to Sink, Faucet & Fixture Installation

Bring us the fixture you want, or we can supply it. Either way works.

We pressure test every install before we leave.

Old supply lines and shut-offs often fail when disturbed. We will tell you up front if yours need to be replaced too.

1. Cost & Pricing Overview

Typical price range
$150–$600 per fixture installed (most jobs)

What affects the cost

  • Fixture type (kitchen faucet, bath faucet, shower valve, sink)
  • Whether supply lines and shut-offs need replacement
  • Existing rough-in compatibility
  • Single-hole vs. widespread vs. wall-mount
  • Granite or stone counter sealing

When a quote is required

Bid pricing per install — no hourly billing. We tell you up front if your shut-offs need replacement before we open anything up.

3. Common Problems, Signs & Symptoms

If you're seeing any of these, it's probably time to call.

Faucet drips even when fully closed

Worn cartridge or seat. Sometimes a $40 cartridge replacement, sometimes a full faucet swap is smarter long-term.

Handle doesn't hold temperature anymore

Shower valve cartridges wear out. The temperature drift gets worse until it fails completely.

Shut-off valve under the sink doesn't work

Old quarter-turn valves seize. When they do, you can't isolate the fixture for repairs — the whole house water has to be shut down.

Sink basin is cracked or corroded

Once a sink starts cracking, it gets worse. Replacement is the only real fix.

DIY fixture install started leaking

Most DIY leaks come from over-tightened connections that crack a fitting, or under-tightened ones that don't seal. We'll fix it right.
