Faucet Installation Cost in Atlanta: Kitchen & Bathroom Faucets in Alpharetta
A dripping faucet in Alpharetta is never just annoying. It stains the sink, wastes hundreds of gallons a month, and — the part homeowners miss — a slow leak under the cabinet quietly rots the floor of the vanity or kitchen base until a $200 faucet job becomes a carpentry repair. If you have already bought the new faucet and it is sitting in a box on the counter, you are not alone. We install customer-supplied faucets every week from Windward Parkway to Old Milton.
Faucet installation cost in Atlanta runs $150 to $275 for a bathroom faucet and $200 to $350 for a kitchen faucet with a pull-down sprayer, labor only. Add $40 to $90 per supply line set if yours are old, and $125 to $225 per shutoff valve if the valves under the sink will not turn — which, in Alpharetta homes built in the early 2000s, is surprisingly common when no one has touched them in 20 years.
Kitchen vs. Bathroom: Why the Price Is Different
Bathroom faucets are usually straightforward: two supply lines, a pop-up drain, decent access. Thirty to sixty minutes when the shutoffs work. Kitchen faucets fight you. The nuts are deep behind a disposal and a deep sink basin, the old mounting hardware is corroded, and a pull-down hose has to be threaded and weighted correctly or it will not retract. Plan on 60 to 90 minutes for a kitchen swap, longer if we are also replacing a soap dispenser, fixing a loose sink, or resealing around the base with silicone.
In Alpharetta’s larger kitchens — especially in Milton-adjacent and Country Club of the South area homes — we also see pot fillers, touchless faucets that need power under the sink, and instant hot-water taps. Those are doable, but tell us the model ahead of time so we bring the right fittings and do not turn a one-visit job into a parts run.
Handyman or Plumber for a Faucet?
For a like-for-like faucet swap with working shutoffs, a handyman is the right, cheaper call, and we can reseal, recaulk, and fix the cabinet floor or a loose toilet in the same visit. If the shutoff valves are seized, the supply lines are polybutylene or badly corroded, or you want to move the plumbing location, that is licensed plumber territory and we will say so. What we will not do is force a new faucet onto bad valves and leave you with no way to stop water if it leaks at 2 a.m. — testing the shutoffs is step one, every time.
Watch for the upsells that are actually worth it: braided stainless supply lines instead of reusing old plastic ones, new angle-stop valves if yours are original, and a quick check of the P-trap while we are under there. Those add $50 to $150 now and prevent the emergency call later.
Making One Visit Count in Alpharetta
Most Alpharetta customers bundle: kitchen faucet plus the primary bathroom faucet, a running toilet fix, and recaulking the tub. One trip, one minimum, everything water-tight before we leave. Send us a photo under your sink when you book — we can spot seized valves, disposals, and water filters in the photo and come prepared. Keep the new faucet’s box and instructions; every brand’s mounting system is a little different, and the Allen key they include is always the one size missing from a generic set.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does faucet installation cost in Atlanta?
Bathroom faucets are typically $150-$275 for labor and kitchen faucets $200-$350 in the Atlanta area. Supply lines and shutoff valve replacement add to that if the old ones are worn.
Can I supply my own faucet?
Yes. Most of our Alpharetta installs are customer-supplied faucets. Keep the box, instructions, and all included hardware until the job is done.
How long does it take to install a faucet?
About 30-60 minutes for a bathroom faucet and 60-90 minutes for a kitchen faucet, assuming shutoff valves work and access is clear.
Do I need new shutoff valves?
If valves are original, corroded, or will not fully stop water, yes. Replacing them during the faucet job is far cheaper than during a leak emergency.
Why is my new faucet leaking at the base?
Usually a missing or mis-seated gasket, a loose mounting nut, or no silicone seal on an uneven deck. We seal and level every install and leak-test before leaving.
Can you fix a dripping faucet instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, with a new cartridge — $125-$225 depending on brand. If the finish is worn or parts are discontinued, replacement is usually the smarter spend.
