Professional Faucet Installation in Houston

A new faucet is one of the quickest ways to refresh a kitchen or bathroom, and it can end the daily annoyance of drips, low flow, and stiff handles. Whether you are replacing a worn-out kitchen faucet, updating bathroom fixtures during a remodel, or fixing a utility sink that never stops dripping, professional installation makes sure your new faucet works perfectly and does not leak inside the cabinet.

Nick's Plumbing & Air Conditioning has provided faucet installation in Houston since 1979. Our licensed plumbers install every major brand, including Moen, Kohler, Delta, and Pfister, and arrive with fully stocked trucks so the job gets done right the first time.

Faucets We Install

• Kitchen faucets - Pull-down, pull-out, touchless, single-handle, and two-handle models, with or without side sprayers and soap dispensers
• Bathroom faucets - Single-hole, centerset, and widespread faucets, plus vessel sink and wall-mounted styles
• Utility and laundry sink faucets - Durable faucets for laundry rooms, garages, and workshops
• Bar and prep sink faucets - Compact faucets for kitchen islands, wet bars, and outdoor kitchens

Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Faucet

• Drips that keep coming back - The faucet still leaks after cartridges or washers have been replaced
• Leaks at the base or under the sink - Water around the faucet body or inside the cabinet
• Low flow or sputtering - Mineral buildup and internal corrosion restrict water flow
• Stiff or loose handles - Handles that are hard to turn, wobble, or do not shut off fully
• Worn or dated finish - Peeling, pitting, or a style that no longer matches your kitchen or bath

What to Know Before You Buy a New Faucet

Match the Holes in Your Sink or Countertop

Sinks and countertops are drilled for one, three, or four holes. A single-hole faucet can often cover a three-hole sink with a deck plate, but a widespread faucet needs the right hole spacing. Check before you buy, or let us confirm for you.

Check Spout Height and Reach

A tall spout that looks great in the store may hit a window sill or cabinet, and a short reach can splash water onto the counter. The spout should reach near the center of the sink basin.

Choose a Finish and Flow Rate

Brushed nickel, stainless, chrome, matte black, and bronze finishes all perform well. For bathrooms, look for the WaterSense label, which means the faucet uses no more than 1.5 gallons per minute and saves water without sacrificing performance.

Our Faucet Installation Process

1. Confirm the fit - We check hole configuration, spout reach, and the condition of your shutoff valves
2. Remove the old faucet - We shut off the water and remove the old faucet, including corroded mounting nuts
3. Inspect shutoffs and supply lines - Old multi-turn valves and worn supply lines are a common source of leaks, so we recommend replacing them when needed
4. Install and seal - We mount the new faucet securely and seal it to the sink or countertop
5. Connect - We connect new braided supply lines, sprayers, and the drain assembly for bathroom faucets
6. Test - We flush the lines, check hot and cold operation, and look for leaks under the sink before we leave

Updating more than the faucet? We also handle sink installation, garbage disposal installation, and toilet installation. Houston's hard water leaves mineral deposits on fixtures, so a water softener installation can help your new faucet look and work like new for longer. Need a spigot outside?

Why Not Install a Faucet Yourself?

Installing a faucet is not the hardest plumbing task, but it is rarely as quick as it looks. Seized mounting nuts, worn shutoff valves, mismatched fittings, and cramped cabinets turn a simple swap into an afternoon of frustration and extra trips to the hardware store. Worse, a connection that is slightly loose can drip slowly inside the cabinet for weeks, damaging the cabinet floor before anyone notices. A licensed plumber gets it right and tests every connection.

Faucet Installation Cost in Houston

Faucet installation at Nick's Plumbing starts at $300, with most installations in the $300-$550 range. This price covers installation and does not include the faucet itself. Replacing shutoff valves, removing a badly corroded faucet, adding a sprayer or soap dispenser, or modifying the countertop can affect the final price.
