In short
Give us the faucet and we handle the rest: the old one comes out, the deck is cleaned, the new faucet goes in with fresh supply tubes, and we run hot and cold to check every joint. If the sink has extra holes, we fill them with a plate, soap pump or sprayer.

Old faucets in Rosemead kitchens
With a 1959 median build year, Rosemead kitchens often have a faucet that has been swapped before, on top of shutoff valves that haven’t been turned in years. Rusted mounting nuts under the sink are the slow part of the job.
Hard water leaves scale on aerators and cartridges, so we flush the lines before the new faucet goes on.

From photos we count holes and check the space under the sink.

Bigger jobs, free estimate
Moving a sink, adding new water lines in the wall or replacing old galvanized pipe is a bigger plumbing job with its own free estimate.
While we’re out for this, Rosemead customers often add faucet repair and replacement, under-sink leak repair or shutoff valve replacement.

Faucet install questions
Can a handyman install a kitchen faucet?
Yes. Replacing a faucet on an existing sink is a common job.
Do I need new supply lines?
Yes, we include them. We put new ones on every install; old lines are a frequent leak point.
Can you install a faucet I bought?
Yes. Bring it, or we can suggest models that fit your sink.
How much does faucet installation cost?
It depends on the sink. Text photos for a free estimate.
Can you replace a kitchen faucet sprayer hose?
Yes. Pull-down hoses wear out or start leaking at the connection. Many brands sell a replacement hose by model number. We remove the old hose, connect the new one, and reset the weight so the head retracts.

What comes in a faucet installation kit?
Kits vary, but they typically include supply lines, a deck plate, a gasket and mounting hardware. Most new faucets already have what they need except supply lines. We bring lines in the right length.
