Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Glenview
Whether you picked a pull-down, a touchless or a bridge faucet, we fit it to your sink or counter in Glenview, cover or reuse the extra holes, and connect it with new supply lines.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
If the valves under the sink are stuck, we shut the water elsewhere and install new ones before connecting the faucet.
Leaking from the handle
Leaks at the lever come from the valve inside the body. We replace the cartridge or the whole faucet, depending on its age.
Wanting a touchless faucet
A touchless kitchen faucet is a standard install with one extra piece: the control box and its power supply. We fit both.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
Weak flow at the kitchen faucet while other taps are fine is often a clogged aerator or a scaled spray head. We clean or replace them first.
Spout too short or too low
A low spout makes it hard to fill stockpots and leaves water splashing at the back. A high-arc or pull-down faucet gives more room.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
Sinks and counters have one to four holes. A deck plate covers unused holes, or they can hold a soap dispenser, side sprayer or filtered-water tap.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
A faucet that rocks when you use it has a loose mounting nut underneath. We tighten or replace the mounting hardware and reseat the gasket.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Glenview homeowners
Do I need a plumber to install a faucet?
We recommend it, especially when the shut-off valves are old or the faucet needs a new hole. A licensed plumber makes the connections on every faucet we install.
Why is my faucet leaking from the base?
The O-rings around the spout have worn. Rebuilding is possible on some faucets; on older ones, replacement is often better.
Should I replace the shut-off valves too?
If they are old multi-turn valves or won't close fully, yes. It's easiest while the faucet is already off.
Pull-down or pull-out: which should I choose?
Pull-down suits deep sinks and tall clearance; pull-out works better under low cabinets or a window.
Can you install a faucet I already bought?
Yes. If anything about it won't suit your sink, we tell you before we start.
Glenview contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
General and demolition contractors register with the Village: $50 fee, $25,000 bond, certificate of insurance and workers comp proof. Unlisted contractor types need no registration. We take care of that before work starts.
Is Glenview water hard, and does it matter for faucet installation?
Glenview's water source: Water purchased from the Village of Wilmette, which treats Lake Michigan water. Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Glenview building permit for faucet installation: where do I apply?
Permits go through Community Development, Inspectional Services Division (Development Center), phone (847) 904-4330. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
