What is Kitchen Faucet Installation?
It sounds simple enough: remove the old faucet, install the new one. But there's more to it than unscrewing a couple of bolts. A proper installation means turning off the water supply correctly, disconnecting supply lines without creating leaks that show up three weeks later, removing the old faucet and its mounting hardware, cleaning up the sink deck, and installing the new faucet so it doesn't wobble and the seals actually hold.
The job itself typically takes 45 minutes to two hours depending on how old your current faucet is and what condition your sink deck is in. If there's mineral buildup or corrosion, it takes longer. If the previous installation was done right, it goes faster.
We've seen plenty of DIY attempts where the homeowner gets halfway through, realizes the water won't turn off, and calls us in a minor panic. We fix those too. No judgment. Just the fix and a bill.
Why Homeowners in Sun Lakes Need a Professional Handyman for This
Look, some jobs are worth doing yourself. This isn't necessarily one of them, especially if you've never done it before. Here's why:
Water damage is expensive. If you don't shut off the main water supply properly or you cross-thread a connection, you're looking at damage inside your cabinets, under your sink, and potentially to the subfloor. One mistake turns a $200 job into a $2,000 problem.
Sink decks come in different materials. Granite, laminate, stainless steel, tile—they all need different approaches. Hit laminate with the wrong tool and you've got a chip. Overtighten a fitting on granite and you crack it. We know the difference.
Old faucets can be stubborn. If your current faucet has been in place for 10+ years, the mounting nuts are often seized. You can spend an afternoon fighting with an old faucet, or you can spend an hour and have it done right.
The warranty actually means something if a pro installs it. Most faucet manufacturers void the warranty if a homeowner installs it and something goes wrong. If we install it and something fails within the warranty period, you're covered.
Common Issues We See During Installation
After 15+ years doing this work, we've encountered just about everything that can go sideways during a faucet swap.
Supply line corrosion is probably the most common. The old compression fittings are corroded, and when you try to disconnect them, the line breaks. We carry replacement supply lines and can fix that on the spot, but if you're doing this yourself and the line snaps, you're going to have water running until you get the main shut-off valve closed.
Sink deck damage is another one. We had a job last month where the previous faucet was installed with the mounting bolts way too tight. The granite had a hairline crack underneath that the homeowner never saw. We caught it during removal and didn't make it worse during installation.
Drain blockage is less common but it happens. Sometimes when you're working under the sink, debris falls into the drain. A quick check with a flashlight before you start prevents a flooded sink later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen faucet installation take?
Usually 45 minutes to two hours. Older faucets or corroded connections can add time. We tell you upfront if we see something that's going to take longer, and the price doesn't change unless you ask us to do additional work.
What if the new faucet leaks after installation?
Call us back. We warranty our work for 30 days. If something we installed fails, we fix it. That's it. No second service call charge.
Do I need to buy the faucet ahead of time, or can you recommend one?
Either way works. If you've already picked one out, bring it or have it delivered before your appointment. If you haven't, we can recommend faucets that work well, hold up, and fit your budget. The Delta and Moen models we typically see in Sun Lakes kitchens last. The cheap brackets from Home Depot last about 18 months. We don't use those.
