Faucet replacement is one of the highest-impact bathroom updates you can make without a full renovation. Replacing a builder-grade brass faucet from 1988 with a modern finish immediately changes the look of the vanity. Replacing a dripping faucet stops wasting water and removes an annoyance that most homeowners have learned to ignore over time.
The installation itself matters. A faucet that is not seated correctly against the sink deck, supply connections that are hand-tight rather than properly secured, or a missing or improper gasket will leak. Not immediately, but eventually, and often in a way that goes unnoticed until it has done damage to the cabinet below, whether this is a standalone faucet swap or the final piece of a larger Bathroom Remodel.
What Faucet Installation Covers
Single-Hole Faucets
One mounting hole for the faucet body, with a single lever or handle controlling both hot and cold. Common in vessel sink setups and modern vanities.
Centerset Faucets
Two-handle or single-handle faucets on a base plate that covers a standard three-hole, four-inch spread. The most common configuration in existing Mid-Michigan bathroom vanities.
Widespread Faucets
Three separate pieces, two handles and a spout, mounted individually in an eight-inch spread. More common in higher-end vanities and custom installations.
Wall-Mounted Faucets
Mounted to the wall above the sink rather than through the sink deck. Require supply lines roughed in at the correct height and spacing for the faucet model.
Already Replacing the Sink Too?
A faucet replacement is also the natural second half of a sink swap, since both are already disconnected at the same time and the vanity is already exposed. If the sink itself is original to the home or doesn't match the style you're going for, it's worth looking at Sink Installation at the same time rather than mounting a new faucet to an old sink you're not happy with. We handle both together whenever that's the scope, so the hole configuration and finish match from the start.
Our Faucet Installation Process
Shut Off & Remove
We shut off the supply, disconnect and remove the existing faucet, and inspect the supply valves and drain for wear while access is easy.
Seat the New Faucet
The new faucet is seated with the correct gasket or plumber's putty for the sink material.
Connect Supply & Drain
Supply lines are connected and tightened properly, and the drain assembly is installed or reused as appropriate.
Test Everything Before We Leave
We run the faucet through a full hot and cold cycle, check under the cabinet for any seeping at the connections, and confirm the handle operation and drain are functioning correctly.
Faucet Installation Cost in Okemos, MI
Standard centerset and single-hole faucet installation is one of our most affordable services. Widespread and wall-mounted faucets take more time due to the number of connections involved. If supply valve replacement is needed, we include that in the quote.
Why Choose Plumbing by Custom Built
A faucet installation takes an hour, but that hour determines whether you have a leak-free connection for the next 15 years or a slow drip that damages the vanity cabinet. We do it right, check our work before we leave, and back it with our satisfaction guarantee.

FAQs
Can I use any faucet for my existing sink in Okemos, MI?
The faucet has to match your sink's hole configuration. A centerset faucet needs a three-hole, four-inch spread. A single-hole faucet needs one mounting hole. We confirm compatibility before installation begins.
Should I replace the supply valves when I install a new faucet in Okemos?
We check the valves when we shut off the supply. If they are older or have not been operated in years, replacing them while we already have access is cost-effective. A supply valve that fails after we leave is a bigger problem than replacing it during the visit.
How long does faucet installation take in Okemos, MI?
Most standard faucet installations are completed in under an hour. Wall-mounted faucets and widespread configurations take longer due to the number of individual connections.
Can you install a faucet I already purchased in Okemos?
Yes. We install customer-supplied faucets. We recommend confirming the hole configuration matches your sink before purchasing to avoid a return trip.
Do you need to replace old supply lines when installing a new faucet in Okemos?
Not always, but if your current supply lines are the older rigid or chrome-plated type rather than modern braided stainless steel, we'll often recommend swapping them while the faucet is already disconnected. It's a small added cost at the time of installation and a much bigger one if an old line fails after we've already left.
