If you’re thinking about replacing your kitchen faucet, you might be wondering how much it will cost. The answer depends on who you hire for the job. You could go with a guy with a toolbox, try it yourself as a weekend warrior, or hire a professional handyman service like Unstoppable Handyman Services.
Each option has its own costs, risks, and level of convenience. Let’s break it down so you can make the best decision for your home.
Cost Estimate: $50 - $150 (Cash deal, no receipts, no guarantees)
This could be your neighbor, a local gig worker, or someone from an online listing who does odd jobs on the side.
✅ Cheap – You’re likely to get a low price.
✅ Might be available on short notice – If they answer your call.
❌ No guarantee – If something goes wrong, there’s no warranty.
❌ Skill level varies – Some guys know what they’re doing; others don’t.
❌ Risk of no-shows – If they flake, you’re back to square one.
❌ Limited communication – You might be texting back and forth for days before they show up.
❌ No insurance – If they flood your kitchen, you’re on the hook for repairs.
If you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind taking a risk, this could work. But if anything goes wrong, you’ll likely pay more in the long run.

Cost Estimate: $100 - $250 (Faucet + Tools/Supplies)
If you’re handy and love a challenge, you might decide to take on the job yourself.
✅ No labor costs – Just the price of the faucet and tools.
✅ Control over the project – No need to coordinate with someone else.
✅ Satisfaction – There’s nothing like completing a home improvement project yourself.
❌ Time-consuming – Expect to spend 2-5 hours if you’re not experienced.
❌ Frustration – Rusted pipes, improper fittings, and unexpected leaks can turn a simple job into a nightmare.
❌ Extra costs – If you don’t already have a basin wrench, plumber’s putty, Teflon tape, and supply lines, you’ll need to buy them.
❌ Potential water damage – One wrong move, and you could have leaks that cost far more to fix than hiring a pro.
If you enjoy DIY projects, this can be rewarding. But if you value your time and sanity, hiring a professional is the smarter choice.
