Fixtures We Install

Kitchen and bathroom faucets, sink drains, showerheads, light fixtures, and ceiling fans make up most of what we install. If it needs to be shut off, disconnected, and reconnected safely, it's usually something we can handle.

Our Installation Process

We shut the water or power off at the source first, not just at the fixture, before anything gets disconnected. That keeps the job clean and avoids surprises once the old fixture comes off.

Checking Old Connections Before We Start

Old supply lines, valves, and wiring often have mineral buildup, corrosion, or wear that isn't obvious until you look closely. We check these before reusing them, since a bad connection is the most common cause of a leak or issue after installation.

Sealing And Securing The Connection

Every threaded plumbing connection gets plumber's tape or pipe dope before it goes back together. Skipping this step is how slow leaks start weeks after an install looks finished.

Testing Before We Leave

Once everything is hooked up, we run the water or power and check every connection, using a dry paper towel to catch even a small plumbing leak immediately instead of waiting for it to show up later.

When A Job Needs A Licensed Plumber Or Electrician Instead

Simple fixture swaps are handyman work. Rewiring a circuit, moving a plumbing line, or anything requiring a permit crosses into licensed trade territory, and we'll tell you plainly if that's the case before we start.

Faucet Types And What Changes Between Them

Single handle, double handle, and touchless faucets all mount and connect a little differently. Touchless models in particular need a power source, either battery or a plug in adapter, which we account for when planning the install so there isn't a surprise partway through.

Matching Finish And Style To Existing Fixtures

A brand new faucet next to old, mismatched cabinet hardware or a different metal finish nearby can look out of place. We'll point this out if we notice it, since sometimes a small hardware swap alongside the main installation makes a bigger visual difference than people expect.

Light Fixture And Ceiling Fan Installs

For ceiling fans specifically, we check that the existing electrical box is rated to support the weight and movement of a fan, since a standard light fixture box isn't always built for it. Using the wrong box is a common shortcut that leads to a wobbly or unsafe fan down the road.

Older Homes And Outdated Plumbing

Homes with older galvanized or original supply lines sometimes need an adapter or a small additional fix to connect to modern fixture hardware. We flag this during the walkthrough rather than discovering it mid install, so there are no surprises on pricing or timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy the fixture myself, or can you supply it?

You're welcome to supply your own fixture, or we can help you source one that fits your space and budget.

How do you make sure there are no leaks after installation?

We run the water and check every connection with a dry paper towel before we consider the job finished.

Can you install a fixture that needs an electrician instead?

If a job crosses into licensed electrical or plumbing territory, we'll tell you upfront rather than attempting something outside our scope.
