Faucets and fixtures are where you actually touch your plumbing every day, so a drip, a wobble, or weak flow gets old fast. We install and repair kitchen and bath faucets, sinks, tub and shower valves, and outdoor spigots — and we do the tidy, behind-the-scenes work that makes them last.
A dripping faucet is worth fixing sooner than most people think. It's rarely just an annoyance; a steady drip wastes a surprising amount of metered water over a month, and the mineral in Flushing's hard water builds up around worn seats and cartridges until the fixture won't shut fully.
That same hard water clogs faucet aerators with scale, which is often why a once-strong faucet now sputters. Sometimes cleaning fixes it. Sometimes a corroded old fixture is simply due.
We install lead-free faucets and fixtures throughout, which matters to a lot of homeowners here. And if your whole house runs high on municipal pressure — hard on every fixture, appliance, and joint — we can add a pressure regulator to protect the entire system. When low pressure is the complaint instead, we track down the real cause before swapping parts.
When a fixture needs attention
A faucet that won't stop dripping
A worn cartridge, washer, or seat keeps the valve from closing fully. Hard water speeds that wear, and the steady drip adds up on your metered bill faster than you'd guess.
Weak or sputtering flow
Scale clogging the aerator is the usual suspect on hard water. Cleaning or replacing the aerator often restores full flow; if not, the fixture or supply line may be the issue.
Corroded, stiff, or leaking handles
Handles that grind, stick, or weep at the base mean the internal parts have worn or corroded. On an older fixture, replacement is often cleaner than chasing individual parts.
Water hammer or banging pipes
A bang when you shut a faucet fast can signal high pressure or missing arrestors. Left alone it stresses joints and fixtures, and a pressure regulator often solves it.
An outdated or damaged sink setup
A cracked sink, a leaking basket strainer, or a fixture that no longer matches a remodel are all good moments to update the setup and eliminate the small leaks that come with age.

How we install faucets and fixtures
- 1
We assess the fixture and the plumbing behind it
We check the shut-offs, supply lines, and mounting, not just the faucet. Old, seized shut-off valves are common here, and it's smart to address them while we're under the sink.
- 2
We repair or recommend replacement
For a simple drip or clogged aerator, a repair restores the fixture cheaply. For corroded or dated fixtures, we'll show you quality lead-free options and let you choose.
- 3
We install it clean and leak-free
We mount the new faucet or fixture, run fresh supply lines, replace tired shut-offs, and seal everything properly so there's no drip at the connections or under the deck.
- 4
We protect the system where needed
If your home runs high on pressure, we can set a regulator to protect every fixture and appliance downstream. It's cheap insurance against premature wear and water hammer.
- 5
We test and tidy up
We run hot and cold, check every joint for leaks, confirm smooth operation, and clean up the workspace. You're left with a fixture that works right and stays dry.
What Affects the Cost
Fixture work spans a two-minute aerator clean to a full sink-and-faucet replacement, so pricing tracks the scope closely. We give you the number in writing before starting — these are the pieces that shape it.
- Repair versus replacement of the fixture
- The type and quality of the faucet or fixture chosen
- Condition of the shut-off valves and supply lines behind it
- Whether a sink, strainer, or drain assembly is also being replaced
- Adding a pressure regulator or arrestors to protect the system
- Access and the age of the existing rough-in plumbing
- Any specialty fixture, like a pot filler or a wall-mount valve
We always give you a written, upfront price before any work begins — no surprises. Call (207) 419-2600 for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet drip even after I tighten it?
The internal cartridge, washer, or seat is worn — tightening the handle won't fix that, and can crack the fixture. Replacing the worn part, or the faucet, is what actually stops the drip for good.
My water pressure at one faucet is weak. Why?
Usually hard-water scale clogging the aerator, which cleans or swaps out quickly. If several fixtures are weak, the cause is bigger — a pressure or supply-line problem we'll track down.
Do I need a pressure regulator?
If your home runs high on municipal pressure, a regulator protects every fixture, appliance, and joint from excess strain and quiets water hammer. We can test your pressure and tell you honestly.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Absolutely. We'll install a fixture you supplied, check that it fits your setup, and handle the shut-offs and connections. We'll flag it early if a specific model has known reliability issues.
Why is only one faucet losing pressure?
Usually a clogged aerator or a scaled-up cartridge — hard water crusts them over here. Cleaning or swapping the part restores flow. If several fixtures are weak at once, the cause is more likely the supply line or overall water pressure.
Can you install a faucet I bought myself?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures all the time and make sure the connections, seals, and shutoffs are done right. If you haven't bought one yet, we're happy to point you toward models that hold up to our hard water.
