Faucet Repair & Replacement in Boise & Treasure Valley
Repair and replacement for all faucet types — kitchen, bathroom, shower, laundry, and outdoor. We fix drips, leaks, low flow, and handle difficulties, and we install new faucets with proper connections and leak-free results.
Boise's hard water causes accelerated cartridge and O-ring wear in faucets, leading to drips and leaks sooner than in soft water areas. Mineral buildup in aerators reduces flow and causes uneven spray patterns. Regular aerator cleaning and cartridge replacement extend faucet life significantly in the Treasure Valley.

When Do You Need Faucet Repair & Replacement?

For repairs, we diagnose the leak source — usually a cartridge, O-ring, or seat that can be replaced in 30-60 minutes. We descale the aerator to restore full flow. For new installations, we shut off water, remove the old faucet, install the new one with fresh supply lines, and test for leaks at every connection.
Faucet Repair & Replacement Cost in Boise
Typical faucet repair & replacement costs in the Boise area: $100-$200 for repair, $200-$500 for replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Cost factors: Type of faucet (single-handle vs two-handle, pull-down vs standard), brand and parts availability, whether shut-off valves need replacing (old gate valves should be upgraded to quarter-turn ball valves), and whether supply lines need updating.
Faucet Repair & Replacement Considerations for Boise Homes
Hard water mineral deposits are the #1 cause of faucet problems in Boise. We carry cartridges for major brands (Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister) and can repair most faucets on the spot. For homes with original gate-style shut-off valves (common in pre-2000 Boise homes), we recommend upgrading to quarter-turn ball valves during any faucet work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my faucet drip even when I turn it off hard?
The internal cartridge or O-rings are worn, allowing water to pass through even in the off position. In Boise's hard water, mineral deposits accelerate this wear. Replacing the cartridge ($100-$150) stops the drip and restores smooth handle operation.
Why is my faucet flow so low?
The most common cause in Boise is a clogged aerator — the small screen at the tip of the faucet. Hard water mineral deposits gradually block the mesh. Unscrewing and soaking it in vinegar for an hour often restores flow. We clean or replace aerators on every faucet service call.
Should I repair or replace my faucet?
If the faucet is less than 10 years old and a cartridge replacement fixes the issue, repair is the better value at $100-$150. If the faucet is old, corroded, or you want updated style, replacement ($200-$500 installed) gives you a fresh start with a new warranty.
Can you install a faucet I already purchased?
Yes. We install customer-supplied faucets. Just make sure it fits your sink's hole configuration (single-hole, 3-hole, or widespread). If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll confirm compatibility before the appointment.
