About faucet & sink in Hilltop

Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill.

In Hilltop older homes, the shutoff valves under the sink are often original and may not close fully. We check them and tell you if they should be replaced while we are there.

The $229 rate covers a standard kitchen or bathroom faucet replacement using the fixture you provide. Corroded shutoffs, a damaged sink or an unusual mount are quoted first rather than added after the fact.

In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.

What happens on the job

Remove the old faucet and clean up the mounting area
Install your new fixture with new supply connections where needed
Test for leaks at the connections and the drain
Flag any worn shutoffs or drain trouble before we leave, with a price
