Homeowners across Des Moines often ask: “What’s the cost to have plumber replace kitchen faucet?” The price tag can feel like a moving target—one that depends on fixture style, plumbing configuration and local labor rates. CountBricks turns that uncertainty into a clear, line-item estimate in minutes, combining AI voice capture with live material pricing to keep every residential project transparent and on budget.
• Standard faucet swap with no modifications: $180-$260 labor plus fixture
• Mid-range replacement needing minor supply line work: $260-$380 labor plus fixture and fittings
• Premium install with disposal re-piping or filtration add-on: $380-$600 labor plus fixture, trim kits and valves
These figures reflect CountBricks’ current dataset for central Iowa single-family homes. Our platform refreshes material rates daily and uses verified local plumber hours, so your quote mirrors the market—not last year’s averages.
1. Faucet Type – Pull-down sprayers, touchless sensors and pot-fillers take longer to seat and test, increasing labor by 15-40 minutes.
2. Access & Cabinetry – Tight sink bases or deep farmhouse aprons slow removal and raise labor cost.
3. Valve Condition – Corroded shut-offs often require replacement, adding parts ($15-$25 each) and time.
4. Code Upgrades – Backflow preventers or air gaps may be mandated in remodels, modestly lifting material spend.
5. Scheduling Window – After-hours or same-day calls carry premium rates; CountBricks flags these surcharges before you approve the job.
1. Say your scope aloud on site or over the phone. Our AI listens and converts speech to structured tasks.
2. CountBricks cross-references local labor databases and current supplier SKUs to price each step in real time.
3. Optional extras—soap dispenser holes, disposal swaps, filtration hookups—appear as separate line items so you can accept or decline instantly.
4. The result: a ready-to-send PDF quote branded with your logo, or an invoice if the homeowner gives the green light.
• Skill level – A faucet seems simple, but mis-aligned supply lines can flood cabinetry within hours.
• Warranty – Most fixture manufacturers require pro installation for full coverage.
• Time – CountBricks’ plumber partners average 1-1.5 hours; weekend DIYers often spend a full afternoon.
• Hidden issues – Licensed pros spot soft shut-off stems or loose basket strainers that could become leaks later.

Last month, the Reynolds family in Beaverdale needed both a leaking kitchen faucet and a sluggish bathroom lav replaced. By speaking the work order into the CountBricks mobile app, their contractor generated two estimates within 45 seconds.
• Kitchen pull-down sensor faucet: $312 labor, $289 fixture, $34 supply lines
• Bathroom 4" centerset faucet: $148 labor, $92 fixture, $18 pop-up drain kit
The homeowner could approve each line separately. Because both installs happened in the same visit, CountBricks automatically discounted trip time, saving the family $75.
1. Live Supplier Sync – While the tech was in Route 141 traffic, CountBricks refreshed faucet SKUs from three local wholesalers, selecting the best in-stock price.
2. Task Duration Database – The platform recognized that the bathroom vanity had full rear access, shaving 12 minutes off the labor model.
3. Permit Guidance – CountBricks flagged that a plumbing permit was not required for direct replacements, eliminating an unneeded $68 fee.
• Zero change orders—final invoice matched the quote to the dollar.
• Two fixtures installed in under 2.5 hours.
• Reynolds family booked a future water-heater upgrade through the same portal.
