You can replace a kitchen sink faucet yourself if you’re comfortable working under the sink, have good shutoff valves, and the existing supply lines are accessible. Hire a professional if the shutoffs are corroded, the existing faucet is welded to old supply lines, or you want a warranty on the install. About half of DIY faucet swaps turn into plumber calls when supply lines snap.

DIY vs. professional

  • DIY-friendly — Working shutoffs, accessible supply lines, simple faucet style
  • Call a professional — Frozen shutoffs, soldered connections, copper supply lines, no access
  • Always pro — Granite or quartz countertops, large pull-down faucets, water-filter integration
