When Done! handles a faucet service call, you can expect a thorough diagnosis of the problem, clear options with honest pricing, and clean professional work — whether that means repairing a dripping faucet, replacing a worn cartridge, or installing a brand-new fixture. Most faucet jobs are completed in a single visit, and our plumbers clean up after themselves before they leave.
What Happens When the Plumber Arrives
The plumber will start by assessing the faucet — identifying whether the problem is a worn cartridge, a damaged O-ring, corroded valve seats, a failing spray head, or something in the supply lines themselves. In older Denver homes, what looks like a simple drip sometimes points to corroded shutoff valves underneath the sink that haven’t been turned in years. The plumber will let you know what they find before any work begins, so you’re not surprised by scope or cost.
Repair vs. Replacement: What Done! Will Recommend
Not every dripping faucet needs to be replaced — often a new cartridge or a set of replacement O-rings is all it takes to stop a leak and restore smooth operation. Done! will give you an honest assessment. If the faucet body is corroded, the finish is failing, or the repair cost approaches what a quality new fixture would run, we’ll tell you that too. We carry common repair parts on the truck, which means many repairs happen on the spot without a parts-run delay.
If You’re Installing a New Faucet
If you’ve already purchased a replacement faucet, Done! can install it. Before the visit, confirm the new faucet matches your sink’s hole configuration (single-hole, three-hole, widespread) and that the supply line connections are compatible. If you’re not sure, the plumber can help you sort that out. Done! can also supply and install a new faucet if you’d rather not shop for one yourself — we’ll make sure what goes in is a quality fixture that will last.
Common Faucet Issues Done! Handles
- Dripping or constantly running faucets (wasted water and higher bills)
- Low pressure or reduced flow (often a clogged aerator or supply issue)
- Handle that’s hard to turn or won’t shut off fully
- Leaking at the base of the spout or under the sink at connections
- Loose or wobbling faucet body
- Full faucet replacement — new fixture installation
Hard Water and Your Denver Faucets
Denver’s hard water is hard on faucets. Mineral deposits clog aerators, corrode cartridges faster than the manufacturer’s expected lifespan, and leave the white scale buildup many homeowners mistake for a cleaning issue. If your faucets are failing prematurely or requiring frequent repairs, it may be worth discussing a whole-home water softener or filtration system during the service visit. Soft water significantly extends the life of faucets, showerheads, and all water-contact fixtures.
What You Won’t Have to Deal With
Done! works in your home with respect for your space — we lay down drop cloths, keep the work area tidy, and haul away any old fixtures or parts when the job is done. If anything unexpected comes up mid-job — like a corroded shutoff valve that needs to be replaced before we can isolate the faucet — we’ll tell you before doing additional work. No surprises on the invoice.
