FAQs

How long does a kitchen faucet swap usually take?

For most standard sinks in Kelso homes, a straightforward faucet replacement takes about 60–90 minutes. This includes shutting off the local water supply, removing the old fixture, cleaning the mounting area, installing the new faucet, reconnecting the supply lines, and testing for leaks. If corrosion, hard‐to‐reach fittings, or additional repairs are discovered, the visit can extend to 2–3 hours.

Can I supply my own faucet, or do you provide fixtures?

Either option works. Many customers purchase a faucet that matches their style and budget, and we install it. If you prefer, we can source a fixture for you, ensuring it’s compatible with your sink configuration (number of holes, deck thickness, water‐line connections, and spray‐head options). We work with reputable brands and can recommend models that meet Washington State flow‐rate requirements (1.8 gpm or less).

What is the typical cost for a kitchen faucet replacement in Kelso?

Labor for a standard swap ranges from $125 to $225, depending on accessibility and any needed adapters or supply lines. If we supply the faucet, add $120–$350 for a mid-grade unit; high-end pull-down or touch-activated models can exceed $500. We always provide a written, up-front quote before work begins so there are no surprises.

Do I have to shut off water to the whole house during the swap?

Usually not. Most sinks have individual hot and cold shut-off valves (angle stops) under the cabinet. We close those valves, replace the faucet, and turn them back on. If the stops are seized or leaking, we can replace them on the same visit. Only in rare cases—such as missing shut-offs or main-line issues—would we need to turn off the house’s main valve.

Can you replace other fixtures, like a soap dispenser or dishwasher air gap, at the same time?

Absolutely. Doing multiple fixtures in one appointment saves time and labor costs. Common add-ons include installing a matching soap or lotion dispenser, swapping out the sprayer head, adding a water filtration tap, or replacing the dishwasher air gap. Let us know in advance so we can arrive with the right parts and ensure the countertop has the necessary holes.

Are permits or inspections required for a simple faucet replacement?

Kelso’s current plumbing code does not require a permit for replacing a like-for-like faucet. However, the work must still comply with Washington State plumbing and cross-connection regulations. We use lead-free, UPC-listed components and ensure proper backflow prevention. If the job expands to larger plumbing modifications—such as relocating supply lines or adding new drainage—permits may be necessary, and we can handle that paperwork for you.
