FAQs

Do farmhouse sinks require special plumbing compared to a traditional drop-in sink?

Yes. Farmhouse (apron-front) sinks are usually deeper and have a forward-facing apron that replaces part of the cabinet face. To accommodate the extra bowl depth, the drain outlet often sits 1½–2 inches lower than on a standard sink. In most Pikeville homes this means lowering the trap arm and possibly shortening or rerouting the waste line inside the cabinet. Our technicians measure the existing rough-in, cut and cement new PVC or adjust copper to meet code, and install a new basket strainer or disposal flange that lines up perfectly with the sink’s tailpiece.

Can you replace my old kitchen sink with a farmhouse sink without replacing the entire countertop?

Often we can. If your current countertop is solid-surface, stone, or wood, we can cut a custom apron-front opening, reinforce the base cabinet, and retrofit support rails underneath the sink. Laminate countertops are harder to modify cleanly, so in those cases we may suggest a new section of countertop or a short replacement run. During our on-site estimate we inspect the material, check cabinet width and depth, and explain the most cost-effective option.

How long does a typical farmhouse sink and plumbing fixture replacement take in Pikeville?

Most single-sink swaps are completed in one business day: 3–4 hours to remove the old sink, modify the cabinet, set the new sink in place, and hook up the supply and drain lines, plus an additional 1–2 hours for caulking cure and final leak testing. If the job includes countertop cutting or relocating supply valves inside the wall, expect 1½–2 days. We schedule around your availability to keep kitchen downtime minimal.

Will a farmhouse sink installation affect my garbage disposal or dishwasher drain?

No—providing the installer adjusts the vertical drain height correctly. We reconnect your existing disposal, dishwasher tailpiece, and air-gap (if present) to the new, lower basket strainer. When necessary we supply an extended disposal flange or a shorter dishwasher branch to maintain the required 2-inch minimum fall and prevent standing water. All connections are tested to ensure quiet operation and zero backflow.

What kinds of materials and finishes do you offer for farmhouse sinks in Pikeville?

We stock and install fireclay, cast iron with porcelain enamel, single-bowl stainless steel (16- and 18-gauge), and modern granite-composite farmhouse sinks. Popular finishes include classic white, matte black, hammered copper, and brushed stainless. Each material has different weight and support requirements; for example, cast iron can exceed 120 lb and needs extra bracing, while stainless models are lighter and easier to retrofit.

Do you provide warranties or maintenance support after installation?

Absolutely. Our workmanship on plumbing connections and cabinet modifications is warrantied for 12 months. Factory warranties on the sink itself range from five years to lifetime depending on brand. In addition, we offer an optional annual inspection plan for Pikeville homeowners that includes tightening fittings, checking caulk integrity, and flushing the drain to prevent buildup—helping your new farmhouse sink stay leak-free and looking great.
