Frequently Asked Questions About Faucet & Fixture Services in Durham
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Durham
Can you install a faucet I purchased myself?
Absolutely. We're happy to install customer-supplied faucets. Just make sure the faucet is compatible with your sink's hole configuration (single-hole, three-hole, or widespread). If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll confirm before your appointment.
How long does a faucet installation take?
A straightforward faucet replacement typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. If we need to replace shut-off valves or supply lines — which we often recommend in older Apex homes — add another 20 to 30 minutes.
Is it worth repairing my old faucet or should I replace it?
If your faucet is less than 10 years old and the issue is a worn cartridge or O-ring, repair is usually the most cost-effective choice. For older faucets with multiple problems, corroded bodies, or discontinued parts, replacement gives you better long-term value and improved water efficiency.
What faucet brands do you recommend for hard water areas?
We frequently recommend Delta with Diamond Seal technology, Moen with their Duralast cartridge, and Kohler ceramic disc models. These are specifically designed to resist mineral buildup and maintain smooth operation for years in hard water conditions like we have in the Triangle.
