Quick answer
Bought a new faucet? We take out the old one, clean the sink deck, mount yours, run new supply lines and test it. If your sink has more holes than the new faucet needs, we add a deck plate or put a soap dispenser in the spare hole. Bathroom and kitchen faucets are both covered.

In Alhambra homes
About 77 percent of Alhambra’s homes were built before 1980, according to a city housing report. Kitchens in older Alhambra houses often have tight sink cabinets and old valves, so we check from photos before the install day.

Check the holes
The number of holes in your sink decides which faucets fit without a deck plate.
Not included
Moving a sink or new piping in the wall is outside our scope.
In older Alhambra houses this job often turns up next to faucet repair and replacement, under-sink leak and P-trap repair and hose bib and shutoff valve replacement, so mention those when you text and we can price them together.

Faucet installation questions from Alhambra homeowners
Can you install a faucet I already bought?
Yes. Text the model and a photo of the sink so we can check it fits.
Why is my faucet not working but the sprayer is?
The diverter or the cartridge is stuck. A repair or a new faucet fixes it.
Do you replace supply lines?
Yes, on every faucet install.
How much does faucet installation cost?
It depends on the sink. Text a photo for a free estimate.
Can you replace a kitchen faucet with a sprayer?
Yes. A faucet with a side sprayer needs a spare hole for the sprayer hose. If you are going from a side sprayer to a pull-down, the old sprayer hole gets a cover or a soap pump instead.
What if my new faucet came without instructions?
It happens with some online orders. Most faucets mount the same basic way, and we look up the maker’s sheet by model number when we need torque or cartridge details. Send us the model from the box.
