Kitchen sink problems we fix in Addison
We replace kitchen sinks in Addison homes from removal to the last leak check: the old bowl out, the opening prepared, the new undermount, drop-in or farmhouse sink set and every connection under it made new.
Chipped or stained porcelain sink
When the finish on a cast-iron or porcelain sink is worn through, it won't come back. A new bowl is quicker than chasing repairs.
New sink doesn't match the counter cutout
Undermount sinks need a cutout that matches their bowl shape. We confirm the size and the reveal before the old sink comes out.
Double bowl too small for big pans
If nothing big fits flat in either side, a single-bowl sink solves it. We adjust the trap and tailpiece for the new drain position.
Strainer or drain leaking
A leak at the drain flange is usually the strainer, not the sink. We replace it, and with a new sink we always fit new strainers.
Old drain parts that won't line up
Mixed old and new drain parts are where leaks start. With a new sink we replace the trap assembly instead of forcing the old one to fit.
Faucet holes don't match the new faucet
If you want a single-handle faucet on a three-hole sink, a deck plate covers the gaps. With undermount sinks the holes are drilled in the counter instead.
Wanting a farmhouse sink
An apron-front sink needs a cabinet built or cut down for it and solid support underneath. We modify the sink base or install a dedicated apron cabinet.

Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement questions from Addison homeowners
What does a farmhouse sink need?
Space in the sink base, a support frame for the weight and a counter cut for the apron style.
Can you install a sink I bought myself?
Of course. Send us the model and we'll confirm the fit and what else is needed.
Can you reuse my old faucet and disposal?
If they are in good shape and fit the new sink, yes. Many owners replace the faucet at the same time since it's already off.
Who would you call to install a new sink?
Call someone who does the whole job: removing the old sink, setting the new one and connecting the plumbing.
Undermount or drop-in: which is better?
Undermount for a clean counter edge, drop-in for simplicity and any counter material. Both drain and work the same.
Addison contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Addison does not require contractor registration, but trade licenses and a Letter of Intent must be submitted with each permit application. We take care of that before work starts.
What is Addison doing about lead water lines?
The Village's 2025 Water Quality Report includes lead service line and home plumbing information. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
What is the Addison building department phone number?
Permits go through Community Development Department (Building & Zoning), phone (630) 693-7530. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a permit for sink replacement in Addison?
It depends on the scope. Addison's rule in short: Addison's Building Division states building permits are required by code for all work; most applications are reviewed within 10 business days through the online portal.
