Faucet Installation in Houston

Most faucet installations are quick. The parts that take time are the ones you cannot see from the top of the counter: seized angle stops, corroded mounting nuts and supply lines that should have been replaced years ago.

Water running from a faucet into a sink

Check before you buy

Number of holes in the sink or counter, and the spacing between them

Whether a deck plate is included if you are going from three holes to one

Spout reach and height against a window, backsplash or upper cabinet

Sprayer style, since a pull down changes the hole layout on some sinks

Whether the sink is undermount, which affects access from below

Finish match with the rest of the room if that matters to you

What the job includes

Removing the old faucet, including mounting hardware that has usually corroded

Replacing supply connectors, and angle stops when they no longer close

Mounting and sealing the new faucet

Reconnecting the drain and checking the trap while access is open

Testing both supply lines and the drain under load

While the cabinet is open

It is the right moment to look at the shut off valves, the drain assembly and the condition of the cabinet floor. Replacing a twenty year old angle stop during a faucet installation costs very little. Doing it during an emergency costs a lot more.

Questions people ask us

Do I need new supply lines with a new faucet?

New braided supply connectors are cheap and are the part most likely to fail catastrophically, so replacing them during installation is standard practice. If the shut off valve will not fully close, that gets replaced too.

Can you install a faucet on a granite or quartz counter?

Yes, if the existing holes match the new faucet. Cutting new holes in stone is a countertop trade rather than plumbing, so confirm the hole count and spacing before buying.
