or swapping a worn bathroom fixture, our licensed plumbers will fit the new faucet and check for leaks.
Will a new faucet fit my existing sink?
Check how many holes your sink or countertop has and how far apart they are. Common setups are single-hole, 4-inch centerset and 8-inch widespread. A single-handle faucet can cover extra holes with a deck plate. Take a photo under and on top of the sink and we can tell you what will fit.
How long does it take to install a new faucet?
A standard kitchen or bathroom faucet usually takes an hour or so. Older homes can take longer if the shutoff valves under the sink are seized or leaking, which is common. We’ll replace the shutoffs and supply lines at the same time so you’re not dealing with them next year.
Should I replace the shutoff valves when I get a new faucet?
If they’re the old multi-turn type and haven’t been used in years, yes. Those valves often won’t close all the way or start dripping once they’re turned. New quarter-turn valves are a small add-on and make the next repair much easier.
What kind of faucet holds up to hard water?
In Marion and Grant County, especially on well water, hard water builds scale in cartridges and aerators fast. A faucet with a ceramic disc cartridge holds up much better than older compression styles. Pick a brand that sells replacement cartridges locally, and clean the aerator every few months.
Can you install a pull-down kitchen faucet or a pot filler?
Yes. Pull-down faucets go on most kitchen sinks without much change. A pot filler needs a new water line run to the wall behind the range, so it’s easiest during a kitchen remodel. You can
schedule online and tell us what you’re thinking about.
