“A widespread faucet is one of those jobs that looks simple and bites people. The handles and the spout are three separate pieces tied together under the sink, and if those hidden connections are not sealed right, you get a slow drip inside the cabinet that you do not notice until the wood is ruined. I tell folks all the time, if it is a basic swap and you are handy, do it yourself, I am not going to upsell you on something you can handle. But if it is a widespread, or those shut-off valves under there look old, that is when it pays to have it done once and done right.”

A widespread faucet comes in three separate pieces, two handles and a spout, mounted in three holes spread about 8 to 16 inches apart. It is different from a centerset faucet, where the parts sit on one base about 4 inches apart, and a single-hole faucet, which uses one hole. Widespread faucets look high-end but take more care to install because the pieces connect under the sink.
It fits if your sink or countertop has three holes drilled at the right spread, usually 8 inches center to center. If your sink has one hole or a 4 inch centerset layout, a widespread faucet will not fit without drilling or a different deck plate. We check your hole spacing before installing so you do not buy the wrong faucet.
You can, and for a simple swap some homeowners do. The catch with widespread faucets is the hidden connections under the sink that tie the two handles to the spout, plus getting a watertight seal at each piece. If those are not done right you get slow leaks inside the cabinet. If you are comfortable under the sink, go for it. If not, we will install it clean and leak-tested.
A straightforward widespread install usually takes one to two hours. It can run longer if we are also replacing corroded shut-off valves or supply lines, or if the old faucet is stuck or rusted in place. We give you a flat quote up front that covers the whole job, not just the easy version of it.
Often yes, and here is the honest reason: if the shut-off valves under the sink are old and crusty, they may not seal again once you have turned them. Replacing them during the faucet install is cheap insurance against a future leak and saves a second service call. We will tell you if yours are fine to leave alone.
Yes. If you already bought a widespread faucet, we will install it. We will also tell you honestly before we start if the unit looks low quality or is missing parts, so you are not paying us to install something that will fail early. Call 214-918-6109 with the model and we will give you a quote.
