Faucet Installation in Sacramento County
A faucet swap looks like a thirty minute job right up until the shutoff valve under the sink refuses to close, the mounting nut is fused to the deck, or the supply lines turn out to be the wrong length. We do it in one visit with the parts on the truck, and you know the price before we open the cabinet.
When Replacing Beats Repairing
A good faucet is worth repairing. A worn out one turns into a series of small repairs that add up to more than the replacement would have cost. These are the cases where installation is the better call.
- The drip came back within months of a new cartridge
- Green or white corrosion around the base, the handle, or the connections
- The handle is loose, stiff, or no longer stops in a predictable spot
- Water seeping from under the base and collecting on the deck or in the cabinet
- The pull-down sprayer will not retract or the hose has started leaking inside the cabinet
- The faucet is fifteen years or older, or came with the house and has never been touched
- You are remodeling and the new sink has a different hole configuration
Hard water is the reason faucets in this region wear out faster than the manufacturer expected. Mineral deposits chew through cartridges, seats, and aerators from the inside. If you are replacing faucets faster than feels normal, the fixture is the symptom. See water softener installation.
What the Installation Includes
- Shutoff and removal. Water off, old faucet disconnected and pulled, deck cleaned down to bare surface.
- Angle stops checked. The shutoff valves under your sink are often older than the faucet. If one is seized or weeping, we tell you before we replace it, with the price attached.
- New braided supply lines. Correct length and correct fittings, every time. Reusing old lines is where slow cabinet leaks come from.
- Mount and seal. Faucet set level, gasket or plumber’s putty seated properly, mounting hardware torqued so the base does not rock in six months.
- Accessories connected. Side sprayer, soap dispenser, and air gap reconnected where they are part of the setup.
- Pressure test. Water back on, both handles run, every connection checked under pressure with the cabinet dry when we finish.
- Cleanup and haul-away. The old faucet and packaging leave with us.
Faucets We Install
Kitchen
Pull-down and pull-out models, single-handle and two-handle, deck mount and wall mount, plus bar and prep sink faucets. The detail that trips people up is the hole count: a three hole sink and a single hole faucet need a deck plate, and we bring one rather than leaving you with exposed holes.
Bathroom
Centerset, widespread, single-hole, wall mount, and vessel sink faucets. On widespread sets we confirm the spread matches your existing deck holes before anything gets unpacked.
Laundry and utility
Utility sink faucets and washing machine box valves, including the older two-valve setups that no longer shut off cleanly.
Outdoor
Hose bibbs and frost-free sillcocks, including replacements for the ones that split after a hard freeze and now spray inside the wall every time you open them.
Already Bought the Faucet? Bring It.
We install faucets that customers purchase themselves, and it is one of the most common ways this job comes to us. Buy the finish and the style you actually want, and we make it work with your sink.
Two practical notes. Check the hole count and spacing on your sink against the faucet before you buy, or send us a photo and we will check it for you. And keep the box: the manufacturer covers the faucet itself, while our one year warranty covers the installation. If a customer-supplied faucet turns out to be missing parts or arrives damaged, we will tell you on the spot instead of forcing it in.

Faucet Installation Questions, Answered
- How long does it take?
Between forty five minutes and two hours for most faucets. Corroded mounting hardware, a seized angle stop, or a cramped cabinet under a deep farmhouse sink push it toward the longer end.
- Can you install a filtered water or reverse osmosis tap at the same time?
Yes, we can. A dedicated drinking water tap needs its own hole in the deck and its own supply run, and doing it alongside the faucet means one visit instead of two. Tell us when you book so we arrive with the right fittings.
- My countertop needs a new hole drilled for the faucet. Can you do that?
It depends on the material. In stainless steel sinks and laminate we can add a hole. Granite, quartz, and other stone need a countertop fabricator with the right wet-cutting equipment, and drilling those dry cracks them. We will tell you which category you are in before you buy a faucet that does not match your existing hole count.
- Do you install more than one faucet in the same visit?
Yes, and it is the cheaper way to do it. Kitchen, two bathrooms, and a laundry sink in one appointment means one trip and one setup rather than four. Send a photo of each sink and we will quote the whole set at once.
- Do you install faucets on new or replacement sinks?
Yes, we do. Sink and faucet are frequently done together, and doing them in one visit is cheaper than two. Mention the sink when you request the quote so we bring the right hardware.
- My kitchen faucet has low pressure but the rest of the house is fine. Do I need a new one?
Not necessarily. A single slow fixture is usually a clogged aerator or a fouled cartridge, both common in hard water and both repairs rather than replacements. We will tell you which one you are dealing with rather than selling you a faucet you do not need.
