Kitchen Faucet Installation Services in San Diego

Installed right. No leaks. No callbacks

Replacing a kitchen faucet looks simple on the surface. In reality, most faucet problems we’re called out for aren’t caused by the faucet itself — they’re caused by poor installation.

Loose mounting hardware.
Overtightened fittings.
Improper sealing under the sink.
Supply lines that were “snug enough”… until they weren’t.

At Unstoppable Handyman, kitchen faucet installations are done slowly and deliberately. The goal isn’t just to get the faucet on — it’s to make sure it stays tight, doesn’t leak, and doesn’t create problems you won’t see until weeks or months later.

Before You Install a Kitchen Faucet, Here’s What Actually Matters

From working in hundreds of San Diego homes, here’s what causes most kitchen faucet issues:

  • Sink access matters more than faucet brand
    Tight cabinets, garbage disposals, and old shutoff valves change how an install needs to be handled.
  • Most leaks start underneath, not at the faucet head
    Improperly seated supply lines or uneven mounting pressure are the most common culprits.
  • Overtightening is just as bad as undertightening
    We see cracked fittings and warped sink decks from installs that were rushed.
  • Older shutoff valves often fail during faucet swaps
    This is something homeowners rarely expect and why installs should be tested thoroughly before leaving.

These are the details that determine whether a faucet install lasts years or becomes a callback.

What This Service Includes

Our kitchen faucet installation service focuses on correct fit, proper sealing, and leak prevention, not speed.

Typical work includes:

  • Careful removal of the existing kitchen faucet
  • Verifying faucet compatibility with the sink and supply lines
  • Properly securing the faucet to avoid movement or loosening
  • Correctly connecting and seating supply lines
  • Testing for leaks under pressure
  • Confirming smooth handle and sprayer operation

Before the job is finished, everything is checked under the sink — not just at the faucet.

Who This Service Is (and Isn’t) For

This service is a good fit for homeowners who:

  • Are replacing an old, leaking, or loose kitchen faucet
  • Want the faucet installed correctly the first time
  • Prefer avoiding water damage caused by small installation mistakes
  • Own and live in their primary residence

This service is typically not a fit for:

  • Commercial kitchens
  • Rental turnovers
  • Full plumbing re-pipes or remodels

If the sink setup is accessible and the scope is straightforward, a kitchen faucet installation is often the right solution.

Pricing Expectations (What Homeowners Should Know)

Kitchen faucet installation pricing depends less on the faucet itself and more on:

  • Sink access
  • Existing shutoff valve condition
  • Supply line configuration
  • Faucet mounting style

Most standard residential installations fall within a straightforward service range. If anything outside the norm is discovered (failing valves, incompatible connections, hidden leaks), it’s discussed before work continues — no surprises after the fact.

Why Unstoppable Handyman

At Unstoppable Handyman, the person you speak with is the person installing your faucet. That means:

  • No rushed work
  • No shortcuts under the sink
  • No guessing

The job isn’t considered complete until the faucet is secure, leak-free, and operating the way it should.

We work almost exclusively with primary-residence homeowners throughout San Diego who want things done carefully and correctly.
